OpenVDB 1.0 is now available to download (see the release notes for details). Version 1.0 marks a milestone, both because it stabilizes the OpenVDB library API and because it has been fully integrated into Houdini 12.5 (also released today). Development of OpenVDB continues, however, with version 1.1, which includes a number of new features and bug fixes, to be released later this month.
