Thanks for the update, Chris!  I was recalling making bug reports for 3.0
when it was in beta.  That was an exciting time, and then I realized that
was _five_ years ago!  Despite being a point 5 release, I suspect this
release will almost as much a step up as it was from 1.x to 2.0.

As a user since POV 0.5, I am greatly endebted to you and the whole team for
such a wonderful, amazing tool!
