I have used it for years without any trouble. My version is 2.0; no newer 
version
 afaik It has no gamma setting, so results are slightly off in POV-Ray 3.7.

It works alright for me although I have not used it much. Results are 
slightly better in 3.7 than Sven's app, probably due to the gamma 
correction.
