Why is it that every time a new version is released, some people get
paranoid about if it will be freely distributable or not?
  Delay in availability doesn't mean it will not be available. They have
to test their program. If they publish each version right after it's
compiled, we would have a povray 3.1099999832h every week.

Sorry, I didn't mean to give the impression of being paranoid.  I was just
curious if there was anywhere non-compuserve members could download the (I
was thinking specifically windows) POV3.1e.  Of course I know it will remain
freely distributed - I just like updating my version as soon as possible :)

The Windows 3.1e is not even available on Compuserve yet (though it will be
within 24 hours).

   You shouldn't have told them. Now they are going to get all
excited and we will have another rash of "Where can I get it ?"
and "When can I get it ?"  questions.

  Oh well I'm patient and can wait until it's fully cooked and 
ready to serve. Just ring the bell when supper is ready.

Thanks for the info Admin.
An informed reply like this was all I was asking for ;)

So would I.  But first I have to get a machine with 24/7 connectivity
and sufficient power to run a CVS server.  Even so, the "standard" tree
will only be updated when official sources are released to the Internet.  
That's the best you can hope for, anyway, since the POV-Team doesn't 
even use any kind of version control.

perforce software).

That explains the groove in the internet between my house
and Taps's site.
