A release won't be available until after the beta rounds are over.
That's normal.

The Unix folk among those with access to the source code repository
are actively working on it, this I can assure you. Whether a generic
Unix source distribution of the betas will be available is heavily
under question and I seriously doubt it. Maybe a binary will be
available for Linux (and maybe Solaris) but these are just maybes that
come from me and not the Team nor TAG.

So for now, keep your fingers crossed, hold your breath and if you
have Wine, try installing POV under Wine. While not officially
supported by the Team, I'm sure it'll be interesting to see how well
it behaves. You're not the only one with barely any Windows access...
