The python wrappers will wrap header files that have WRAP_SPECIAL
set even if they also have WRAP_EXCLUDE set.

The installation of these files used to be turned off for Cocoa,
which makes no sense now that Tk works with Cocoa.

ENH: Update the vtkArrayAPI to support distributed arrays / arrays with non-zero-based coordinate indices.

The syntax

  vtkSmartPointer<vtkBaseClass> b = vtkNew<vtkDerivedClass>();

does not work as implemented.  C++98 12.2/2 allows the compiler to
copy-construct an extra vtkNew<> temporary to which to bind the
reference of b's constructor.  Since vtkNew<> does not provide copy
semantics (and cannot by design) this fails on compilers that choose to
copy the temporary unnecessarily.

I'm reverting this feature until we have time to investigate further.

This simple template creates and owns one instance of its template
argument for its lifetime.  Ownership can be shared with smart or raw
pointers but cannot be taken away from vtkNew<> until destruction.  This
approximates use of VTK objects as stack variables.

Fixed the name collisions of the private template function in vtkMatrix3x3,
also made the template function static. Added vtkMatrix3x3 and
vtkTransform2D back to the CMakeLists file in Common.

Disabled the compilation of vtkMatrix3x3 (and so vtkTransform2D) as this is
causing test failures. There is an issue with the instantiator in common.

Added vtkPoints2D to store 2D points, vtkMatrix3x3 and vtkTransform2D to
facilitate general operations on 2D points. This is part of the work I have
been doing on the 2D API in VTK.

ENH: Add vtkMath::IsInf and IsNan methods.

COMP: add math library to common kit_interface_libraries as on AIX it doesnt link everything against the math library by default.

ENH: Applying patch transitive3.patch, see vtk-dev thread #Use LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES for VTK libs

ENH: Update the vtkSparseArray implementation so it can be used more efficiently with libraries that rely on CRS or CCS.  Includes new functionality for sorting the values in a vtkSparseArray.

vtkUnicodeString is a sequence of Unicode code-points.
vtkUnicodeStringArray is a new array type containing a list of
vtkUnicodeStrings.

 - Moving from vtkSNL to VTK.

 - COMP: Use standard VTK typedefs for sized integer types in the UTF8
   library.

BUG: Bug in MySQL driver caused dates/times to be parsed incorrectly. Now returning them as strings. Moved vtkTimePointUtility to common to facilitate this.

ENH: Add a new lookup table that "disables" its mapped colors based on the values in a secondary array. Have the GraphMapper put it to use.

COMP: Removed entry for deleted source file (vtkDataArrayMetaData) from cmake properties directive.

ENH: EDF IPoints project commit.

VTK/Graphics:
  CMakeLists.txt
    Added build commands for vtkQuadraturePointInterpolator,vtkQuadraturePointsGenerator,vtkQuadratureSchemeDictionaryGenerator filters.

  vtkQuadraturePointInterpolator.h
  vtkQuadraturePointInterpolator.cxx
    Filter which makes use of InformationQuadratureSchemeDefinitionVectorKey to interpolate fields to quadrature points.

  vtkQuadraturePointsGenerator.h
  vtkQuadraturePointsGenerator.cxx
    Filter which makes use of InformationQuadratureSchemeDefinitionVectorKey abnd field data arrays generated by QuadraturePointInterpolator to generate a point set of quadrature points.

  vtkQuadraturePointsUtilities.hxx
    Code shared between QuadraturePointInterpolator and QuadraturePointGenerator.

  vtkQuadratureSchemeDictionaryGenerator.cxx
  vtkQuadratureSchemeDictionaryGenerator.h
    Convinience filter that adds a gerneric dictionary to point data arrays in undtructured grids. This is used for testing, and should not be used for application development.

VTK/GraphicsTesting/Cxx:
  CMakeLists.txt
  TestQuadraturePoints.cxx
    Added tests demonstarting the capability of the new QuadratureScheme* filters.

VTK/IO:
  CmakeLists.txt
    Removed build command for vtkXMLDataElement.

  vtkXMLUtilities.h
  vtkXMLUtilities.cxx
  vtkXMLDataParser.h
  vtkXMLDataParser.cxx
  vtkXMLMaterialParser.cxx
    Moved method vtkXMLDataElement::ReadXMLAttributes to vtkXMLUtilities::ReadElementFromAttributeArray to emliminate cyclic dependency.
    Moved method from vtkXMLDataElement::SeekInlineDataPosition to vtkXMLDataParser::SeekInlineDataPosition to emliminate cyclic dependency.
    Set vtkXMLDataParser to parse CharacterData as tags may use it even though vtkDataArray tags now have specialized methods for reading inline and appended data.

  vtkXMLReader.h
  vtkXMLReader.cxx
  vtkXMLWriter.h
  vtkXMLWriter.cxx
    Added methods to save/restore vtkInformation associated with vtkAbstractArray's to/from XML data files. We only handle a single vtkInformationKey type as handling more generally will require a more substantial investment to work around C++'s static typing in a platform independent way.

VTK/Common:
  CmakeLists.txt
    Added build command for vtkXMLDataElement
    Added build command for vtkInformationQuadratureSchemeDefinitionVectorKey

  vtkXMLDataElement.h
  vtkXMLDataElement.cxx
    Moved to Common from IO.
    Eliminated cyclic dependency with XML parsing classes.

  vtkInformationQuadratureSchemeDefinitionVectorKey.h
  vtkInformationQuadratureSchemeDefinitionVectorKey.cxx
    Replaced vtkInformationObjectBaseVectorKey with vtkInformationQuadratureSchemeDefinitionVectorKey to eliminate complications during de-serialization from XML due to C++'s static typing.

  vtkAbstractArray.h
  vtkAbstractArray.cxx
  vtkDataSetAttributes.h
  vtkDataSetAttributes.cxx
    Added support for vtkInformation to vtkDataSetAttributes copy methods.
    Changed vtkAbstractArray::SetInformation from protected to public.

  vtkMetaDataArray.h
  vtkMetaDataArray.cxx
    Removed from project. Use vtkInformation instead.

VTK/Rendering:
  vtkTesting.h
  vtkTesting.cxx
    Addded dataset comparison via average L2 norm. Cleaned up command tail processing code.

BUG: Try to make win32-bcc work.

     a precursor to a thread pool.

ENH: New key with value std::vector<vtkSmartPointer<vtkObjectBase> >. The use of smart pointers has resulted in the key's convinience interface (see vtkInformation) not fitting well with that which the other keys associated with vector data provide. As such I have left that convinience interface out.

COMP: Added all the trappings of VTK object to DataArrayMetaData so that it will pass header testing etc.

ENH: Merge changes from main tree into VTK-5-2 branch. (cvs -q up -j1.206 -j1.207 and then -j1.208 -j1.210 Common/CMakeLists.txt)

COMP: Eliminate test failure where bcc and GCC precision did not meet
      tight tolerance.

The MIPSpro 7.4.4 prelinker goes into an infinite loop when it assigns
an instantiation of vtkVariant::ToNumeric<> to an object file such as
"vtkCharArray.o".  It magically loads "vtkVariant.cxx" by guessing the
name based on "vtkVariant.h" in which the template is declared.  Loading
the file causes more instantiations and confuses the prelinker.  Since
we provide explicit instantiations for this method anyway, we hide the
definition from the prelinker using conditional compilation.

     and TestPolynomialSolvers to TestPolynomialSolversUnivariate.
ENH: Various improvements to the Sturm solver from Korben Rusek,
     including control over the interval type (open, closed, or half-open),
     more robust polynomial division, and a routine to evaluate the
     derivatives of a polynomial at roots to verify that they are solutions
     and not merely local minima/maxima near zero.
ENH: More testing.
