The release notes state that vtkStdString is being removed. Should we just be using std::string everywhere now?

Thank you very much for providing version 5.9.0 for downloading!

I am missing the ParaView Guide for version 5.9.0 in the documentation section on the download page.

@mg65 from this release, the ParaView Guide is hosted online using the `Read the Docs` framework at the URL [https://docs.paraview.org/en/latest/](https://guide).

If you prefer to download a `pdf` instead, `Read the Docs` gives you the possibility to export the documentation to PDF.
