MegaPov 0.4 is ready for downloading. 

You can find Nathan's Windows version at (this is not the usual place!):
ftp://ftp.povray.org/pub/povray/Unofficial/MegaPOV/

The Macintosh version at the usual site:

Please note that the demos are not available yet, we will make a small package
available later today
or tomorrow.
Please read the docs because there are quite a few changes in the syntax.

Bug fixes in this version: 
   *Faster macro's (by Burton Radons). 
   *Photons has an easier syntax now. 
   *Changed syntax of bounded_by and clipped_by in isosurface. 
   *Fixed the normal bugfix once more . 
   *Fixed default{} bug. 
   *Faster rendering of mesh and mesh2. 
   *Fixed bug with metallic. 
   *Updated statistics output for photons, motion_blur, and post-processing. 

New in this version: 
   *Blinn "microfacet" highlights . 
   *Post processing (focal_blur, depth, soft_glow) is now possible with MegaPov. 
   *Changes in radiosity (load/save file, pretrace_start/end). 
   *Changed 'smooth_color_triangle' syntax for more versatile triangle texture
interpolation. 
   *Chris Huff's blob pattern, proximity pattern, evaluate pigment/pattern, noise3d. 
   *Array support for integrated i_dat_3d libraries by David Sharp. 
   *Added hyperbolic trig functions, complex functions (David Sharp). 
   *Added ridgedmf, heteromf, hex_x and hex_y to the integrated isosurface functions. 
   *Added date, timer and tick functions to be used in in the scene source. 
   *Added wavelength-dependance to fresnel reflectivity (uses dispersion properties,
for producing
realistic metals).
