You mean, a list of all the changes that were introduced since 3.6.1c?

Wouldn't that be exactly what's in the changes list (as available on 
http://www.povray.org/beta/)?

Well, I just see that the chronologically first entry is "Changes 
between  3.7.beta.1 and 3.7.beta.2", so some changes introduced between 
3.6 and 3.7 pre-beta (or beta.1) might not have made it into the list.

Anyway, the perforce depot contains something between guesstimated 
1000-1600 change entries since the branch from 3.6 code, a lot of which 
will probably have no relevance for the documentation (bug fixes, code 
refactoring and such), and no way to automatically distinguish the two. 
So maybe we only want to use it where the official change list appears 
to have holes.
