No, we don't announce it here, we assume that users who consider themselves
sufficiently intelligent to use clearly-labelled beta software are also
intelligent enough to find that a new version is available once the old one
expires, WITHOUT our having to hold their hand and tell them. Even if we *do*
miss the expiration date by a day. All it takes is a single look at the beta
web page to see if beta 3 has been posted. (The other beta users seem to have
managed this feat of mental agility quite neatly.)

Beta users are made quite aware that we do *not* want reports from old betas.
The fact you are posting bug reports here about an expired version (when the
specific reason for the expiration is to prevent just such a thing), added to
your previous complaints about the expiration date system altogether, says to
me that you are not a suitable person to be testing our beta software.

In future please refrain from using POV-Ray betas. Use the official version
if you want, but do *not* download or install anything from us labelled 'beta',
and please cease to use any of our beta software that you have already installed.

thanks for your co-operation,
