Hi, I am trying to understand what has been newly introduced in VTK 9 when compared with previous verions. How can I get this information? Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything like release notes. Please help.  
Thanks  
Sherin

[This discussion](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/vtk-9-0-0/3205) has the overview. I don’t know if we have more detailed ones. @TJ_Corona?

Hi Sherin,

As Ben pointed out, the release notes were posted along with the announcement for VTK 9.0.

Sincerely,  
T.J.

Looking around the VTK web site though, finding VTK 9 release info is not obvious.

Might be nice to have the release notes on the download page:  
[https://vtk.org/download/](https://vtk.org/download/)

and to add a blog post:
