by default Debug builds should have more rigorous settings
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
Release builds should stay as they are right now
Debug builds should default to have VTK_DEBUG_LEAKS, VTK_REPORT_OPENGL_ERRORS and stricter compilation warnings turned on.
black box tests should be ported from tcl to python or c++
this will prevent many undercooked commits from hitting the dashboards
