Yes, that is under active development. If bigger issues are identified, we’ll push this to the next vtk release.

Any change of [https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/issues/19534](https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/issues/19534)
getting into the release? It is quite an annoying bug to live with for a release

Nice, so before 9.5. I can live with that. We will just add a small patch.

Please note VTK 9.4.1 is planned for early 2025.
As this is a patch release, it will be based of the `release` and release cycle will probably be shorter.
The actual timeline will be announced ahead of it.

Hello, I cannot find VTK 9.4 on conda. On conda forge it looks like the latest release is 9.3.1.
Maybe I’m just looking in the wrong channels.
Thanks!

We have a large project involving many libraries, so conda is super-handy.
Do you know who published 9.3.1 on conda-forge and if they are going to upgrade to 9.4?

Conda is handled by the anaconda company: [Learn More About Anaconda | Anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/about-us)

So if I understand the VTK conda package is created directly by the Anaconda company?
Thanks!

This is my understanding, but I’m not a conda expert.

The vtk package on conda-forge is maintained here: [GitHub - conda-forge/vtk-feedstock: A conda-smithy repository for vtk.](https://github.com/conda-forge/vtk-feedstock). Please create issues there.
