This was okay before now, if I remember right.  Now POV won't run multiple
instances.  At least not while rendering (tried Pause to check that anyway,
can't stop a current render).

I can confrim. Moreover I can't start second compiler version. I have compassion

Seen that, yes, missed your reply to it.  Considered that a different bug
report before.

Can't start 3.5 at all if MegaPOV and/or 3.1 are running (all three have
"keep single instance" switched off).

Would I be right in thinking that this is fully fixed now? In beta 9
there was a partial fix (if you switched it off and on again it worked)
but beta 10 seems to work correctly straight out of the box for me. I
can't see anything in changes.txt that suggests that it was addressed.

Are you sure you are reading proper file ?
1330 is last change in revision.txt which contains renderer changes.
Quoted 1336 is last change in changes.txt which contains platform specific
changes.

Oh, right. I was reading the file called "changes.txt" that's on the
Windows beta web page. Where "You can read a list of <changes between
beta.1 and beta.10>".
