I think most people would advise staying in 3.5 and working from there. For
anything except the removed features/keywords you can always use the
#version directive to switch syntax compatibilty. Of course, if you find it
impossible to design a scene without the obsolete features you don't have a
choice besides working with 3.0 as well.
Thing is, it just gets confusing if you try to keep using an older version
and still take advantage of newer changes.

That could be due to assumed_gamma changes; although, since it wasn't
compared directly to my POV 3.02 until today, I suspected it would look
quite different. Also, I should point out that media method 3 is based on
the way version 3.0 atmosphere worked. That's my understanding, anyway.

It tends to stay saved once you already view it, but should be gone for
people yet to encounter this group.
