Reports of the +C bug appeared only a short time ago, while we had 
already begun the last preparations for the actual release (which had 
virtually nothing to do with changes to the code; stuff like making the 
switch to the new license, setting up the Git repository, and other such 
stuff).

It seems that in this last phase, povray.beta-test hasn't been read by 
any of the developers on a regular basis, so we weren't even aware of 
these +C artifacts and their severity; from what I see now they would 
indeed have warranted halting the release process.

It should be mentioned that while povray.beta-test is a good place to 
discuss /suspected/ issues, the most reliable way of communicating 
/identified/ issues is via http://bugs.povray.org. New entries there 
trigger an email to the members of the dev team.
