Version 0.04 is now available.

Change log since 0.03:
- Introduced animation support. You can now split rendering of fragments 
of a single frame and/or complete frames (better to split complete frame 
in order to avoid preprocessing overhead);
- POVRay 3.6 has fixed the "Failed to execute" problem;
- New POVRay client implementation;
- POVRay worker now use stdout instead of temporary file for the 
rendered image;
- Written session name autogeneration;
- New confguration file format;
- New confguration GUI dialogs;
- New confguration class design;
- The "Failed to execute" problem under RedHat 9.0 happens because
of a coredump when the DISPLAY env. variable is not defined;
- Adam Wells reports JCGrid works fine under MacOS X 10.3.4.
