Hi

I was very happy about the anouncement of 3.1, and downloaded
the beta nearly imidiatly, because the new File-Features,
are so important for my Animations ( that was a good idea )
but some of the new features, aren't that good, mainly the
Inerface, is to much pepped up, and that it is only possible
to render, when you save the Scene ( or is there an Menuoption to
Turn on Raytracing in Memory ? )
I have also an problem with the Lensflare, and Galaxy Includes
from Chris Colefax, but both problems which do not fall under
the new features list.
1. When i use the Galaxy.inc no Star-Objects are visible, but the parsing
says there are.

2. When i use the Lensflare Effects, it breaks when parsing, and
shows an Error when calculating the Camera Data

But i think all this minor bugs are just typical beta bugs, so just get
on with the good work, for now i will use Pov 3.0 until your next
Beta or maybe the finished 3.1 Version arrive.
