[BUG] Writing a VTU uses version 0.1 rather than 1.0

Describe the bug
Writing an unstructure grid to VTU specifies file version as 0.1
, when I think it should be 1.0
.
To Reproduce
import tempfile
from pathlib import Path
import meshio
print(f"{meshio.__version__=}")
print()
mesh = meshio.Mesh([[0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0]], [("triangle", [[0, 1, 2]])])
# Workaround: mesh.write doesn't support a buffer, only a path to a file.
with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as temp_dir:
out_file = Path(temp_dir) / "moo.vtu"
mesh.write(out_file, "vtu")
print(out_file.read_text())
Gives the output (curtailed for brevity):
meshio.__version__='5.3.5'
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<VTKFile type="UnstructuredGrid" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian" compressor="vtkZLibDataCompressor">
<!--This file was created by meshio v5.3.5-->
<UnstructuredGrid>
<Piece NumberOfPoints="3" NumberOfCells="1">
<Points>
...
The problem is that version="0.1"
here should, I think, be version="1.0"
.
The unofficial wiki states that the VTKFile
attribute is only supported in version 1.0
of the spec. We include this attribute.
In practice, this bug causes incompatibilities with other readers. For example, for reading VTU files in Julia, ReadVTK.jl has an assertion for version being 1.0 or greater.
I believe this is the section that would need changing:
