    * MayaVi 1.3 release.

    * VtkPickler can save/load configurations to/from a dictionary.

    * ConfigVtkObj: Separated functionality of the ConfigVtkObj class
      into a separate ConfigVtkObjFrame and a driver class.  Also
      added new arguments to the configure method so that there is
      more flexibility in the configuration dialog.  It is also
      possible to specify or exclude some of the methods in the GUI.

    * Removed Get/SetProgress from the GUI since its useless.

    * ConfigVtkObj: Removed a few cyclic references by deleting the
      VTK objects that the widgets refer to.

    * Fixes for Python-2.3's Tkinter related changes.
    
    * Eliminated deprecated apply calls.

    (*) MayaVi 1.2 release.

    (*) Changed license from LGPL to BSD.

    (*) Added support to browse through Assembly objects.  Many thanks
    to Jaco Schieke for his patch.

    (*) Now installed using distutils as a separate module.
    vtkPipeline is bundled with MayaVi and is no longer packaged
    separately.

    (*) Cleaned up the pickled output of the vtkPickler.  Also cleaned
    up the vtkMethodParser and the vtkPipeline classes.

    (*) Huge speed up (by a factor of 50 or more) in the "expand all"
    feature of the pipeline browser, thanks to Dan Blezek
    <blezek@crd.ge.com>.

    (*) Intelligently disable useless VTK warning messages that are
    shown when the pickler or the vtkPipeline code is used by turning
    these messages off using the GlobalWarningDisplay flag
    appropriately.

    (*) Fixed various bugs.

	* Version 1.1 released.

	* Added a vtkPipelineSegmentBrowser that can show a segment of a
	VTK pipeline.  Given a set of VTK objects it displays the part of
	the VTK pipeline starting from those objects.

	* Disabled setting the ReferenceCount since this is a dangerous
	thing to do.  The ReferenceCount is only displayed.

	* Cleaned up the namespace.  I no longer use from module import *
	anywhere.  So the code should be "import safe".

	* Fixed some memory issues by removing some of the circular
	references in the vtkPipeline code.

	* Fixed long standing bug in the ConfigVtkObj class wherein the
	SetAaToBb type of VTK methods would not be initialized properly.
	The update method also handles such methods now.

	* Added a set_update_method to the ConfigVtkObj class.  This can
	be used to call a particular function when anything is changed
	during the configuration.

	* Made the vtkPickler load configurations gracefully even if some
	of the saved methods don't exist in the current installation of
	VTK.

	* Version 1.0 released.

	* File Icons/coord.gif was not a GIF: fixed.

	* Changed code to use str() instead of repr().  Latest nightlies
	didnt work with repr().  Also removed variables that were named
	'str'.

	* Added support for David Gobbi's neat improvements to the Python
	bindings.  Older versions also should work fine.

	* Fixed a silly bug that caused segfaults for Readers with methods
	that have an 'InputString'.  Thanks to Marco Morandini
	<morandini@aero.polimini.it> for reporting this bug.

	* Added a new VtkShowDoc class that is used to show VTK class
	documentation by using the __doc__ attribute.  This is used to
	provide documentation while configuring any VTK object.


Sat Oct 28 15:17:22 2000  Prabhu Ramachandran <prabhu@aero.iitm.ernet.in>

	* Version 0.9 released.

	* Added a VtkPickler class that helps save and load the state of
	any VTK object.

	* Cleaned up the classes and separated the functionality to two
	separate modules, ConfigVtkObj and vtkMethodParser.

	* Added debug functions to aid debugging when strange segfaults
	occur.

	* Fixed some bugs for the various readers.

	* Forced the pipeline browser to check for Input and Source
	objects.


Sat Oct  7 21:57:22 2000  Prabhu Ramachandran <prabhu@aero.iitm.ernet.in>

	* Version 0.8 released.

	* Any configuration option of the form Set*Color can now be set
	using a GUI color chooser!

	* Improved capability of apply button in configurator by doing a
	RenderWindow.Render().

	* Added an update button to the configurator.

	* Added a refresh button to the browser.

	* Added keyboard accelerators for browser and configurator.

	* Fixed some bugs.

	
No news for earlier releases.
