This is off-topic, but I thought that to run a 3.7.1 alpha or beta version
correctly (i.e., so that it does not invoke its 'backwards compatibility' with a
previous version's features), the  #version statement should be   #version 3.71
 and not just 3.7   Am I right or wrong about that? I always assumed it to be
so.

(By the way, the incorrect tiling pattern shows up either way.)

You are perfectly right in that `#version 3.7` (which is shorthand for
`#version 3.70`, which in turn is interpreted as "this scene was
designed for version 3.7.0") will cause some 3.7.1-specific behaviour to
be disabled in order to maintain compatibility with the behaviour of 3.7.0.

However, most added features work perfectly fine even when the scene
says `#version 3.70`. (Which I concede isn't ideal, because it makes it
possible for people to write scenes that use 3.7.1 features but claim to
be "designed for version 3.7.0", leading to confusion if someone ever
tries to actually render such a scene with 3.7.0.)

The lack of a second dot in `#version 3.70` is kind of confusing.

Whoever decided to use a float to store the version number had the wrong 
idea, IMO.

    That works very well for TeX.

I hear you.

It does have its benefits though: It allows for constructs like

    #declare temp_version = version;
    #version 3.5;
    ...
    #version temp_version;

or

    #if (version >= 3.71)
    ...
    #end

without having to add special language constructs to the parser for
assigning and comparing version numbers.
