Why? It works, it is just that people need to read the release notes stating
how to use it in 3.7 to get 3.6 results and also complain to those programs
that do not support PNG properly. The reason you hear complains it because
(surprise), M$ has, I would guess intentionally, never supported PNG
properly. But as M$ dominates the market, those not understanding how M$
handles standards it dislikes fall for the trap and blame POV-Ray. Of
course, the question then arises why the same people insist on using PNG in
the first place - my motto in this regard is: Either know what you are
doing, or don't do it :-(

In short, there is no problem at all. POV-Ray functions properly, and the
feature is trivial to turn off by reading the documentation as well.
