ParaView v5.12.0 requires an old version of FastFloat, why?
Trying to build ParaView 5.12.0 on my workstation, where FastFloat v6.0.0 is installed: it is rejected by CMake:
CMake Warning at VTK/CMake/vtkModule.cmake:4958 (find_package):
Could not find a configuration file for package "FastFloat" that is
compatible with requested version "3.9.0".
The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:
/usr/local/share/cmake/FastFloat/FastFloatConfig.cmake, version: 6.0.0

CMake Error at VTK/CMake/vtkModule.cmake:4964 (message):

Note: upstream released FastFloat v6.1.0 some days ago. Does ParaView really need such an old version?
