Hopefully sometime this year - maybe sooner. The POV-Team is not in the
habit of giving specific dates and there is a good chance they do not
even no for sure when exactly it will be released.


This comes from the message "Welcome to the POV-Ray news groups" in
the povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions group...


New Versions of POV-Ray - Please Don't Ask
==========================================

  One of the most asked questions we hear in the news groups is  - 

  "When will the next version of POV-Ray be released ?"

   The answer is that they will not tell you. The POV-Team is a group
of volunteers working on the development of the program in their free
time. They do not like deadlines and will only release a new version
when they have time to finish it. They also need time to ensure they
have the bugs worked out of it before releasing it publicly.

For this reason *PLEASE* do not ask when the next version will be released.
If they spend all of their time answering this question they will not have
time to work on the next release of the program. When it is time they will
notify you through public announcements on this server and on the POV-Ray
home page - http://www.povray.org.

  We thank you for understanding our position on this matter.
