Which is fine with me, because IMO POV-Ray 3.7.0.0 was the very first 
version of POV-Ray to do an acceptable job at dispersion.  (Thank you, 
clipka.)

(POV 3.6.*, and presumably all earlier versions, did not compensate for 
the reduced luminosity at the edges of the visual spectrum, leading to 
darkened objects; and POV 3.5 had a terrible problem with spurious cyan 
artifacts when Fresnel reflection was used.)
