And we all are waiting now like the vultures for the new major bugs of
the new major release...

But seriously, I wished I could assist in programming. I have so many
ideas about editor and other things, and little improvements (-e2), that
it is sad I use a different programming language than C++.

Yes, indeed, CLipka is doing some kinda good job. Big thanks to him and
all the other developers of this magnificent software!!!!!!!

After Clipka's answer to my comment, I'd recomend using antialiasing 
method 2, +am2, to reduce or elliminate those artefacts.

With method 1, the already rendered pixels on the top and left may, or 
may not, already be supersampled compared to the retraced ones from the 
current block.

With method 2, that start with the NON supersampled corners, you always 
start with fresh samples that are in a known, consistant, state. It 
don't mather if the current pixel is at the edge of the block or not, 
all pixels are treated the same with original data obtained the same way.

If using method 3, you are possibly in a similar situation as with 
method 2. Given the inherent random noise associated with method 3, it 
may not mather at all.

A good and healthy sex life is... well, good and healthy ;)

Scientific studies have shown that frequent -- shall we say, exercise?
-- reduces the risk of prostate cancer and cardiovascular issues.

And you surely want POV-Ray development to continue for a while, don't
you? ;)

"Kinda" good, huh?
I'll remember that next time you want something fixed ;)

I was thinking more along the lines of giving Sven his very own personal
bug to complain about }:->

    if (username.isLike("sven littkowski"))
        FailInSomeRandomManner();

We ALL will see, how fast you'll fix the errors your faulty programming
has caused. He he he!

So, CLipka is the name that flies from mouth to mouth, who will be
named, when the world has to find out, that POV-Ray has finally changed
from a great render software to some tricky malfunctioning trojan horse
malware under the corrupt, pizza-dirted hands of CLipka and his
coca-cola-covered keyboard from 1987...

No, no, no - you're getting this all wrong.

You see, the keyboard I covered in coke just a month ago was the good
Logitech G19 from 2012, not the old 1987 one (which would have been the
entire Schneider CPC 464; I never owned a PC prior to the early '90s).
