The area light doesn't cast soft shadows. Look like only a few points 
are used. Even using a really high number of for the number of light 
points doesn't help much.

adaptive 2 gives much smoother shadows, but still the result is worse 
than in 3.6.

When? I've reported this problem twice, and no one could be bothered to 
acknowledge it.

What gives?

About 20 minutes ago.

It was also fixed when you first reported it, but a subsequent change broke
the fix without my noticing it.

Sorry, must have slipped up. I do make an effort to respond to reports once
I've located and/or fixed the problem.

Please check out the beta test group welcome message.  I know it is a very 
"old" post, but it basically still applies :-)

Normally, I wouldn't expect a reply, but...

The first time I posted, you wanted a minimal scene. I posted a minimal 
scene. Beta 3 came around and problem was still there, I posted the 
problem, and an image illustrating the problem. It must have been lost 
in the shuffle. This post appears, and I figure either its just 
something thats going to take a while to fix, or the post was ignored, 
but after seeing Chris reply with it being fixed, I felt maybe my post 
was ignored becase I made a second post about the same problem...

No big deal.. Really.

It seems you're working very hard and doing a great job, I think you are 
allowed to slip up :-)
