I guess the most important things to know (in this case):

- What the link takes you to is GitHub's overview of a patched version 
of POV-Ray.

- Clicking on the green "Clone or download" button and then "Download 
ZIP" (at the bottom of the pop-up) will download a ZIP package 
containing that version's complete source code.

- The version does not come with binaries, so to use it on a Windows 
machine you would have to compile it yourself.


If you are more interested in having a look under the hood of the patch 
rather than test-driving it:

- To view what has been changed in the patched version, click on 
"Compare" immediately below said button (in the line reading "This 
branch is 1 commit ahead of POV-Ray:master")
