Dave Pugmire put in merge request that has a usable streamline functionality.

We are also gearing up to merge in the multi-block work.

Abhishek has been continuing with streamline PIC code.

Manish has been working on some issues with rendering wireframes. There have been some z-fighting issues.

Matt Larsen has been working on some smaller issues with rendering. There has been some issues on Windows. Mark has volunteered to help out with the Windows builds.

Working through some compilation issues with JIT compilation with VTK-h/VTK-m compiling.

Matt Larsen looking into how to manage a 2D data set in volume rendering.

Rob merged in point-neighborhood worklet type. Can do image algorithms with it.

Fixed some issues with CUDA 9.

Sujin have been working on some small issues. Back to looking into true virtual objects.

Olli's group is creating filters that do not output a data set as such. They might input or output something that is better represented as a table. The current implementation of that is fuzzy. One simple thing that can be done now is to create a DataSet with no CellSet attached (which is valid). Better support in the future would be good.

Allie is working on getting more VTK-m filters integrated with ParaView.
