You are aware, of course, that some implementation have been changed ?

Great, Could compare to mine then, if needed.

I'm lazy, I do not want to search for a scene with glass texture.

Can you name one for me from the distribution, so that I could test it ?

slow on 3.7)

Thanks in advance.
(Ready to test with the latest beta, as soon as you name the scene file)
