[Sankhesh Jhaveri]

The VTK maintenance team is happy to announce that the second release
candidate has been tagged for VTK 8.0.

You can find the source, data and documentation tarballs here:

http://www.vtk.org/download/#candidate

Changes new to this release candidate include

   - Deprecated vtkFiltersMatlab and vtkFiltersStatisticsGnuR modules
   - Removes deprecated classes like vtkStreamer, vtkStreamPoints and
   vtkStreamLine

Take a look at the VTK wiki
<http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/API_Changes_7_1_0_to_8_0_0> for a complete
list of API changes in v8.0.0 over the previous version.

Please try this version of VTK and report any issues to the VTK mailing list
<http://www.vtk.org/mailing-lists/> or the bug tracker
<https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/issues> so that we can try to address
them before the VTK 8.0.0 final. Kindly set the 8.0 milestone
<https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/milestones/6> on the issues and merge
requests to ensure that they are tracked during the remainder of the 8.0
release process. Further, please base / rebase all 8.0 target branches off
of the v8.0.0.rc2 tag <https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/tags/v8.0.0.rc2> (or
earlier) to ensure minimal merge conflicts with the release branch.

As always, contact Kitware <http://www.kitware.com> and the mailing lists
for assistance.

Thanks,
VTK Maintenance Team
