So it is not the same as listed in changes as "Change 1356 - Fix spline based
on Mark Wagner's suggestions ..." ? Probably not becous it still not works.
Anyway I though Mark Wagner send fix ? What does it mean "unclear" in this
case ? Unclear report on unclear opinion of team how it should be solved - via
documentation or via sources ?

What is the problem with this. It needs some kind of confirmation? Or is it
under development now ?

Isn't this listed in changes of beta 11 in Change 1359

This list is very good idea. We can now return to old problems to verify again
(you know, some mistakes occur sometimes ...)

It's listed, but speaking as the person who made the actual change and 
who checked it in after the drop-dead date for beta 11, I'm pretty sure 
it's not actually *in* beta 11 unless the platform coordinator for your
platform happened to do another build of "beta 11" from later code.

: What does it mean "unclear" in this case?

  It means that I didn't fully understand the problem and I haven't got an
official confirmation that "yes, this is a bug".

: What is the problem with this.

  There's no problem with this. It's just a reported problem which doesn't
have an official job number (because the maintainer of those include files
is a TAG member and not a pov-team member).

There's another thing about these macros: since function names can be
passed as macro parameters the Parse_String construction is obsolete.

Yes, in current usage it could be considered useless, but I can imagine when
it could be useful. After small change it could be possible to pass to this
macro either function or another macro. For example you can't make function
which internally operate on strings. Of course it could slow down calculations
a lot. Only my two polish zlotys.

;-) ;-) ;-)
This means they can finally be written as originally designed...this 
gave me so many headaches early on, when I thought it was possible, and 
while the Parse_String() method was better than what I did, I never 
really liked it.

While I could duplicate this bug on earlier betas, I can no longer 
duplicate it with beta 11.  Possibly it got fixed as a side effect of other 
changes.

I confirmed this.  Under NT-derived operating systems, the total CPU time 
used is not reported in the proper stream if the render completes normally.

Over and above the factors (orthographic camera; prism orthagonal to the 
camera) I identified in my confirmation, what's unclear about this bug?
 

The unconfirmed list, BTW, is missing my report that network paths 
(\\machine\share) in povray.ini can cause WinPov to crash when opening 
#included files.  See <Xns### [at] 204213191226>

Depending on if you're collecting notes on the documentation or not, you 
might want to look at <Xns### [at] 204213191226> for a few 
comments on how spline is documented.

  I added it.

  Errors in the documentation are not bugs in POV-Ray per se, and handled
by a TAG member (Ingo).

I am afraid this one ended up in the wrong list.
My bugtest.pov still gives wrong results :(
