[Paraview] ANN: ParaView 3.14.1 Available for download

Fri Apr 6 17:18:45 EDT 2012

Greetings to all,

The project for releasing _unofficial_ ParaView Development installs 
(mostly for Windows) - 
http://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/ - has been 
finally updated this week, just in time to be updated within a few hours 
of the official release of ParaView 3.14.1:

  * List of downloads:
    http://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/wiki/Downloads
  * List of development notes related to the updates made:
      o Notes for ParaView 3.12.0
        <http://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/wiki/Notes3120>

      o Notes for ParaView 3.14.0
        <http://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/wiki/Notes3140>

      o Notes for ParaView 3.14.1
        <http://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/wiki/Notes3141>

In the notes are described the changes and brief steps for building 
one's own ParaView SuperBuild on Windows. These unofficial releases have 
not been subjected to through testing yet, so if anyone finds problems 
with them, please use our dedicated Issue Tracker for them: 
http://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/issues/list

Brief summary of features:

  * 3 types of packages are provided:
      o The modified sources, in both tar.bz2 and 7z formats.
      o Self-extractable packages with headers, cmake files and library
        interfaces, i.e. the necessary development files. These are
        meant for complementing the official releases of ParaView.
      o Self-extractable packages with both the previous development
        files and the working ParaView + Open-MPI binaries.
        FYI: these are using Qt 4.6.3 in ParaView 3.14.*, instead of Qt
        4.6.4; but it should still work, since Qt 4.6.4 should be a bug
        fix release and should be fully compatible symbol-wise...
  * A few options were added to the SuperBuild files:
      o Added "ParaView_INSTALL_DEVELOPMENT" to the main
        "CMakeLists.txt" file, for including the installation of the
        development files when installing ParaView.
      o Added "ParaView_MPI_SUPERBUILD" for choosing to use the system's
        MPI (auto-detect only), instead of the default ones on
        SuperBuild. The usage case scenario for this option is
        documented here:
        http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/blogs/wyldckat/1203-paraview-3-12-0-superbuild-openfoam.html
  * List of code changes can be seen in the repository:
    http://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/source/detail?r=8ca38a1b4809448776414b2ed805604e4f2a5955&repo=paraview3141

These changes aren't complete yet, since:

  * There is still work to be done for automating the
    installation/packaging process.
  * And the Silo project isn't automatically upgraded when using MSVC
    2008 Express... the "vcbuild" application has to be used in an
    automated scenario with 2008 Express and it will probably require a
    somewhat "ugly hack".

Best regards,

PS: I hope this doesn't go "top post"... since a reply to this ANN 
seemed the best place to "advertise" this ;)
