CMB 6.0 Release Notes

General Notes

CMB 6.0 is a complete rewrite of CMB 5. It currently supports a
subset of the functionality (model viewing and attribution) available
in CMB 5.

Whereas CMB 5 was a set of applications derived from ParaView, CMB 6.0
is effectively the ParaView application itself with augmentations and
functionality changes introduced using ParaView’s plugin framework.

New Features

Resource Panel

CMB 6.0 presents a Resource Panel to display currently loaded models,
meshes and attribute resources. This resource panel is distinct from
ParaView’s pipeline panel, whose focus is on visualization pipelines.

Attribute Panel

Attribute resources loaded into memory do not have a visual
representation in the 3-D render window; instead, they are displayed
in the Attribute Panel. This panel allows the user to create, delete
and modify attributes within the active attribute resource.

Operation Panel

Operations that act on resources and their components are presented in
the Operation Panel, a preliminary display that adaptively presents
available operations to the user depending on operation’s abilities to
act on currently selected objects. An operation is selected by
double-clicking the operation’s name. Selecting an operation results
in the operation’s interactive input parameters displaying in the
bottom part of the Operation Panel.

Post-Processing

Because CMB 6.0 is rooted in ParaView, all of ParaView’s
post-processing functionality is natively available to the user. To
present a clean interface, much of ParaView’s interface is hidden from
the user by default. ParaView’s interface can be made available to the
user by loading the post-processing plugin and toggling the ParaView
button on the toolbar.

When tagging the release candidate, I accidentally used the tag v6.0 instead of v6.0.0-rc1. I have removed the former tag and added the latter. The correctly tagged release candidate source code can be found here. Please remove the v6.0 tag from your local repository and instead use v6.0.0-rc1 in its place. I apologize for the confusion that this mistake may have caused.
