I have to agree with Jerry, though the MS comment was a bit harsh ;)

There have been bugs that carried through several versions simply
because the POV-Team were not aware of them.  Better to base any new
versions on a package that's as bug free as possible.

Maybe if we all use some feature that we normally don't use, then
discuss anything we think might be a bug here in povray.general, we
might get the most bug free new version yet.

Cheers, PoD.
