    I have something close to 100 glass textures that were developed
by me and contain what I think are some pretty unique designs. Alas
they are now obsolete and have been reduced by the changes into
transparent pigment declarations.
    I have been cursing under my breath, and argued a little over on
c.g.r.r. about the injustice, but you know what?
    I'm getting over it. No one ever said it was an easy program to use.
Another thing to point out is that we as users get used to doing a thing
in a certain way and are resistant to change. If you were to try to back
up and start modeling with POV-Ray 1.0 you would be hairless in a week.
    The programers on the other hand are attempting, through research and
advances in programing software, to bring to us the user a better software
package. So go ahead and grumble, then get over it and move on. There are
way to many new features to learn in this revision change alone that there just
isn't time to complain (too much anyway).

My unsolicited $100 bucks worth (inflation).
