I'd suggest simply outputting whatever remains in the #debug message 
buffer upon completion of the scene.  Doing so would match the 
functionality that's in version 3.6.

That is already what 3.7 is supposed to do. I was not making the point that 
the 3.7 behavior is intentional, just that a change to always output a 
newline automatically is not desirable.

Read my message again:

"a final newline at the end of all messages"

If it makes it any clearer, you can say "a newline after all output
streams have been printed."  Or, to put it another way, after parsing
you flush the output stream buffers and then print a newline.

	Yes, in case this is not yet the intended behavior in 3.7, I'd support
the idea that the debug buffer be forcefully flushed before the render starts
and not only at the end of the povray run.

Anyone have time to contribute a patch to do this?
