We are pleased to announce that the VTK Examples Project now works with both the old and new vtk module API. The new VTK Module API is a complete replacement for the old API.

- The VTKExamples individual examples and CMakeLists files support both APIs. For example, see this example:  
[https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/Cxx/Medical/TissueLens/#cmakeliststxt](https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/Cxx/Medical/TissueLens/#cmakeliststxt)

- Also, the stand-alone build supports both APIs.

**Caveats:**

- The VTKExamples now require cmake 3.3 or higher.

- The VTKExamples will no longer be available as a Remote Module. We hope to offer it as an External Project in the next month.
