No, what's delaying the next release is I'm too lazy to do the documentation,
which is required for a proper unofficial version. I'm getting there, though.
By the way, if I have till the end of the millennium to get it finished, I'll
have plenty of time to add all kinds of new stuff. A year and a half...
that's a lot of time...
I don't know what Nathan's plans are wrt his merging photon mapping with the
superpatch. I have a copy of the code he started with so I can merge his
changes with mine whenever he's finished. I'd obviously prefer that to two
divergent versions - that would defeat the whole purpose of the thing, after
all.
