Please try this version of VTK and report any issues to the list or the bug tracker so that we can try to address them before VTK 6.1.0 final. You can find the source, data, and new vtkpython binary packages here:</span></div>

<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div>One notable change is that we've revised the regression test data and source file tarballs to make it easier to build VTK without internet connectivity. When you unpack and build the source tarball, BUILD_TESTING is now initially disabled. Thus no attempt will be made at build time to download the regression test data. If you unpack the data tarball as well, all required data files will be put in place so that with BUILD_TESTING turned on, internet access is still unnecessary. Similarly the large data tar ball allows you to turn on the tests that depend on VTK_USE_LARGEDATA without internet access.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Another packaging related fix was that we've corrected a bug in the window python binary such that VTK's python modules are placed underneath the bin directory where more environments will find them automatically.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This release candidate also fixes parallel particle tracing filters and has fixes for various compilers. </div><div><br></div><div>The full list of changes since release candidate one follow. Refer to the full git log for more details.</div>
