> Hi,
>
> Just a short note to point out that we've put out a patch release for VTK
> 7.1.
>
> This release is just a handful of fixes over last Fall's 7.1.0. The most
> impactful item is that our java wrappings were corrected. Other fixes went
> in for picking with antialiasing, volume masking, virtual reality device
> rendering, compilation of KIT aggregate libraries, and accessing hdf5 when
> using CMake versions older than 3.4.
>
> You can browse all of the changes here:

Nice, I'll give it a go tomorrow!

> While I have your attention, be on the lookout for VTK 8.0. We will begin
> the release cycle for that soon. The new release bring vtk-m accelerated
> filters and at the same time an enforced requirement for C++11 compilers.
> You can get a taste of what you'll see in the current VTK master branch.

Aha, I didn't know 8.0 was around the corner. Does that mean there'll
be no 7.2? Not that it matters to me if it's called 7.2 or 8, just
curious :)
