Is anyone planning on doing a Mac version? Even a quick-and-dirty
compile, without features such as syntax coloring for the new keywords
etc.

You might want to poke at the camera code; Camera Ray Perturbation, as the
docs put it, causes at least the Windows version to die ungracefully..

Wow, that's an old one. It came with the slope-dependent textures
code. I'll have it fixed this evening too.

And to think all this time I thought this custom compiled POV-Ray making stuff was
easy.
Thankyou from me too Ron.

Patched versions of the source and of the windows binary are online
now. The Linux binary will have to wait until my old 486 finishes
compiling it, but the source is there to build your own if you're
in a hurry.

Actually, this version doesn't colour code the new keywords either, making
me keep thinking I spelled something wrong :)

Well, I'm doing what I can about that one. Looking at the read-only
source to cmedit.dll that's included with the windows source, it seems
as though it would be easy enough to move the keyword-highlighting
code into the executable where it could be changed. That's a job for
the POV-Team, though. The suggestion has been passed along.

Sorry to be so obtuse, but I can't seem to find any documentation on what this
superpatch does, or how I'm supposed to install it....
Thanks for any info....

The documentation and installation instructions are in the archive.
I'll be building a webpage soonish, I hope. I just wanted to get it
online so Ken would stop bugging me. :)
Here's a section from the docs:
What is the Superpatch?
The Superpatch is an unofficial build of POV-Ray.
Like many unofficial builds, it adds new features
to POV. However, the Superpatch is intended to
fulfill a loftier goal than merely to offer new
features. The goal of the Superpatch is to offer
as many features as possible in a single
unofficial build, allowing you to use the new
features from a diverse collection of unofficial
builds in a single package.
The Superpatch was conceived and executed by Ron
Parker, par### [at] fwi com, but it contains the work
of a great many people...
The Superpatch is an UNOFFICIAL build of POV-Ray
and is not supported by the POV-Team.
