Hi!

Sorry if this was reported/fixed before (it's not in Rune's list afaik).
Using a png in a height_field fails for me. Instead I get

Parse Error: Unknown image type in image_height_at.

The png renders fine as a height_field in Mega 0.6a and is loaded correct in
Micrografx Picture Publisher.
I post it to p.b-t.binaries if it's not a general png-problem.

Apparently it's fixed for the next beta:
http://news.povray.org/slrn9qvqpq.f7.ron.parker@fwi.com

The list of known bugs does currently not contain bugs that have been fixed
(or at least I don't know of it), but from the next beta is released I'll
begin to include them in the list and mark them fixed.

Ok, thanks! Sorry for reporting this a second time. Although I read all the
posts here, it is really hard to find or remember every issue, esp. if it is
reported together with other problems in one post. Your list is really
helpful in this and I want to thank you for your work.
