ParaView 6.0 release schedule

Starting with ParaView 6.0, the ParaView development team will coordinate with the VTK development team on releases. That means a ParaView minor release will be compatible with a VTK minor release.

Accordingly, we will aim to closely follow the VTK 9.5 release schedule.

  • 05/12/2025: VTK release split, no new features can go into VTK 9.5 after this date
  • 05/14/2025: ParaView release split, no new features can go into into ParaView 6.0 after this date
  • 05/14/2025 to 06/16/2025: Release candidates are published and tested. Critical bug fixes are integrated into ParaView and VTK release branches.
  • 06/16/2025: ParaView 6.0 is released.

Update: we are working to resolve an issue with source/filter documentation generation; once that issue is resolved – and assuming there are no other showstoppers reported during the week after RC2 is released – ParaView 6 will be released.

That puts the ParaView 6 release no earlier than the first half of July.

Update: we have identified a couple issues in ParaView 6.0.0-RC2 and plan to release ParaView 6.0.0-RC3 about July 15 or 16. Assuming no additional critical problems are found in that version, we will use that as the 6.0.0 final release, and expect that to be out the week starting July 21.

Hello. Windows version of RC2 doesn’t store any settings. Every time I run it, I have default settings of all I changed before. Integration with MED reader has the same bugs a two versions before.

Hi @K_Zurawski

This issue has been fixed for RC3: https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/merge_requests/7394

Please clarify what you mean in regards to MEDReader.

Best,

Hello,
reload button always causes to crash the program. Pipeline is refreshed with the same file, but all is missing from 3D viewport.

Reload button is part of the MEDReader plugin, please report that issue to Salome developper.

Pipeline is refreshed with the same file, but all is missing from 3D viewport.

When you do what ?

when I either reload files from disk by clicking right mouse button on first position in the tree or I’m using the reload button.



Salome 9.11 Windows reload file function not working - Development - SALOME PROJECT

Indeed a Salome feature, nothing ParaView devs can do here.

BTW I’m not using Salome Platform for post processing. There are other issues with the software. I was hoping you coudl do something about the reload function. It’s annoying when you have to recreate all the filters just to see the outcome again.

So how this reload function ended up in your software since they developped it?

(post deleted by author)

If you are talking about the small double blue arrow in the MEDReader, it is part of the MEDReaderPlugin which is developped by Salome and shipped with ParaView binary release for easier communication between pure ParaView and Salome.

Alternatively, use the File ->Reload Files feature of ParaView, or do not use MED format but another format.
