To help the VTK community better anticipate VTK’s release schedule, we are posting a feature deadline for the next release cycle of October 29, 2020. We are hopeful that this approach will give the community enough time to better plan their workflows around VTK’s release, and we think it will help keep the release team vigilant about regularly cutting releases in the future. This does not necessarily mean we will not have a minor release until after the posted date, but it does give some assurances that a release will occur soon after the deadline. Please let us know what you think!
