With permission of the POV-Ray Team, POV-Ray 3.7 smp Unofficial beta 34
for Macintosh is available:

The application will expire on the 1st of october 2009 (and can be
re-enabled)

Note: In SnowLeopard the number of entries in the "Open Recent" menu
depends on the settings in the System Preferences.
On previous systems this wasn't the case. This is not a bug in POV-Ray
Unofficial! 

MegaPOV 1.2 will no longer crash when you used POV-Ray Unofficial
before. Simply run this new version before you run any version of
MacMegaPOV to fix the preferences file.
After that, you can use MacMegaPOV again ;-)

 
Read carefully which version you should download:

1) 64 bit universal
------------------------
For any Intel-based Macintosh and PPC G5 running Mac OS 10.5 or later,
download the 64 bit version at:
http://megapov.inetart.net/beta/pv37_64_b34.zip
This version is a universal binary containing a 32- and a 64 bit version
for any Intel-base Macintosh and a 64 bit version for PPC G5.
It will not run on systems prior to Mac OS 10.5.

2) 32 bit universal
------------------------
For any Intel-based Macintosh and PPC G5 running Mac OS 10.4 or later
you can download the standard 32 bit version at:
http://megapov.inetart.net/beta/pv37_b34.zip
This version is a universal binary containing a 32 bit version for any
Intel-based Macintosh and a 32 bit for PPC G5.
It will not run on systems prior to Mac OS 10.4.


usual but important stuff:
---------------------------------

Please note that this is an unofficial compile so that Macintosh users
can participate in beta testing.
The UI is the same as MacMegaPOV but the renderer is POV-Ray 3.7 without
any modification.
The UI does not reflect in any way how the final official version for
Macintosh is going to be.

You can report core bugs to the POV-Ray-Team but send all UI related
bugs to yvo(DOT)s(AT)gmx.net

Before sending bug reports, please read about this POV-Ray 3.7 release
and known bugs at:
http://www.povray.org/beta/ 
and make sure the bug isn't reported at:
http://news.povray.org/povray.beta-test/

Please take a few moments to read the "Readme xx" files included in the
package before using the application!

Keep in mind that this is beta software!

Yvo

Thanks a lot for this build.  :)

So far, it seems to be working fine and having PovRay working on the Mac,
multi-threaded and a 64bit build is just fantastic !  :D

Keep up the good work.


Cheers.
