Of course installing a properly written application like POV-Ray will never
destabilize your system.  Also applications made available by certain
companies, most notably Microsoft, do destabilize Windows (because they hack
their own system to work), this does not imply other applications will or
even can do so at all.

BTW, your question is actually answered on the download page at
<http://www.povray.org/download/>:

>>Version 3.5 is a major upgrade from version 3.1 and we recommend all users who
have a 3.1 version available for their platform upgrade to 3.5. Note that
some 3.1 scenes that used features marked as 'experimental' may not render
in version 3.5. If you have any such scene files we recommend that you keep
your copy of version 3.1 installed.<<
