Re: [Paraview] Update: Upcoming ParaView Releases (4.4 and 5.0)
Folks, Just wanted to let everyone know we're closing on a ParaView 4.4 release candidate (think next week or two). If you spot any major issues, or there's something you're keen on committing, you should do that now.

Re: [Paraview] Update: Upcoming ParaView Releases (4.4 and 5.0)
Lester, ParaView 4.4 won't have any major OpenGL related changes so it should work on platforms ParaView 4.3 or earlier worked. ParaView 5 (with its use of OpenGL 2.1/3.2 features) should indeed still work on Windows 7/8 with relatively modern drivers. Note, OpenGL 3.2 is still quite old (~2009). If you're using remote-desktop, however, you may want to switch to using VNC. Remote desktop uses a software OpenGL implementation, which (when last I checked) was only OpenGL 1.1 compatible. (cc-ing Ken to correct me if I am mistaken) Utkarsh On Fri, Jul 17, 2015 at 6:50 PM Lester Anderson arctica1...@gmail.com wrote: With reference to OpenGL, will the new updates via 4,4 or 5 be compatible with Windows 7(or 8) or does it expect a newer version of OpenGL on the target system? thanks On 17 July 2015 at 19:29, Utkarsh Ayachit utkarsh.ayac...@kitware.com wrote: Folks, Since we're getting close to the next release, I just wanted to send out an email to let everyone know how we're planning to do the next release. + We'll do a ParaView 4.4 release will all features/fixes planned for the next release.
