Yes, that's right. But again: what's about the glass textures?   

Well, I didn't want to criticize the new version too much... it's
again a very very well done work with its new possibilities! For me,
POV-Ray is still the most impressive software I've ever used. But I
would be very very glad to see a new modifier "material" in future
versions, so that one can declare the texture and interior of an
object again to one identifier like

  #declare M_Glass1 = material {
    texture {
      pigment { color rgbf <1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.7> }
      finish {
        specular 1
        roughness 0.001
        ambient 0
        diffuse 0
        reflection 0.1
      }   
    }
    interior {
      ior 1.5
    }
  }

That's the only thing I miss by now ;-)

Bye,
Friedemann
