Hello VTK users and developers,

We expect to release version 9.5.1 next week. This update will include important bug fixes from version 9.5.0.

Please review the relevant updates on the [9.5.1 milestone](https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/milestones/25) and prepare for the upcoming release.

In the meantime, if you have a patch that should be included, please ensure it is backported to the release branch as per the instructions in the [developer’s guide](https://docs.vtk.org/en/latest/developers_guide/git/develop.html#merge-a-topic) and tag it with the milestone.
