User:Waldyrious/VTK version history

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Todo[edit]

  • add git references for v4 series
  • fix git tag (should approximately match the release date) vs. git branch (equivalent to CVS's "cut")
  • fill reference metadata (author, etc.)

Notes[edit]

Releases initially followed the even/odd scheme. This seems to have changed from v6 onwards.

From the article: «VTK was initially created in 1993 (or 1994?[blog 1])as companion software to the book "The Visualization Toolkit: An Object-Oriented Approach to 3D Graphics". The book and software were written by three GE researchers (Will Schroeder, Ken Martin and Bill Lorensen) on their own time and with permission from GE. (...) To support what was becoming a large, active and world-wide VTK community Ken and Will, along with Lisa Avila, Charles Law and Bill Hoffman left GE Research to found Kitware Inc. in 1998.»
