ParaView has been updated to version 5.4.0. The C++ panel has been deleted and replaced with a panel based on the new(er) XML API. This reader works for ParaView-4.0.1 and newer. The ParaView 3 reader remains unchanged. Update issues have also been fixed. All the time directories are now scanned for fields and clouds when filling the selection lists. This stops fields from disappearing when the time is changed. The scan is only done on startup and when the refresh button is pressed. The list of available Lagrangian fields also now shows a combined set of all the clouds. Previously, only fields from the first cloud were shown. If a field does not apply to all the clouds, ParaView will display it's name in the dropdown menu with a "(partial)" qualifier. Some undocumented and incomplete bits of code, which were not being compiled, have been removed.
