This is a sample release note for the change in a topic. Developers should add similar notes for each topic branch making a noteworthy change. Each document should be named and titled to match the topic name to avoid merge conflicts.
Tips for writing a good release note:
Prefer active voice:
** Bad: A function to X was added to ParaView.
** Good: ParaView now provides function X.
Write to the user, not about the user.
** Bad: Users can now do X with Y.
** Good: You can now do X with filter Y.

Refer instead to the parts of ParaView that your change has affected:
** Bad: Exposed a new property from vtkPVGeometryFilter in ParaView.
