[Attachment #2 (multipart/alternative)]

I just realized I never sent out an email about this.  Yikes. Yesterday I
committed a longstanding topic to change the VTK default to the OpenGL2
backend. While we have talked about this in general terms we never got down
to specifics. A bunch of nightlies broke and I hope to work through that
over the next day or two or chicken out and retreat :-)  But...here is the
gist, you can still set VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND to OpenGL or OpenGL2 as
desired, existing settings will not change, we have only changed the
default for cases where it has not been specified. We also have added a new
setting named VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND_DEFAULT that lets applications set
their preference (in their own CMakeLists file) for VTK while still
allowing the user to override it with VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND.

If you have any questions etc please let me know.

Thanks

Ken
