requirements. VTK 6 has fixed many bugs and added many features<br>
since VTK 5.10, and I think that it is fair to say that it is more stable<br>
than VTK 5.10. A summary of new features is provided on the wiki:<br>

<br>
Migrating a large project to VTK 6 could be a lot of work, and I have<br>
several projects that I haven't migrated yet. An API migration document<br>
is provided here: <a href="http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK_6_Migration_Guide" target="_blank">http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK_6_Migration_Guide</a><br>
but I haven't seen a similar document that describes exactly how to<br>
migrate your CMakeLists.txt files.<br>
<br>
I suppose the real question is whether the migration will become<br>
easier in the future. Most likely it won't, so there really isn't any<br>
advantage in waiting.<br>
