(excerpt from "history.doc", accompanying PV-Ray 0.5 beta package)
The "STAR-Light" name was dropped because of possible problems with
another software bearing that name.
And, until 1.0, it was "PV-Ray" (without an O)

Great to know. Thanks Fabien, I wondered about the possibility of a
different naming of the earlier POV-Ray versions but I checked up on it in
each of their Docs before posting. And I never say "Tracer" but say "Trace"
and am in eror to do so apparently. I don't have the version 0.5 so
couldn't check.

There should be UVPov, between SuperPatch and MegaPOV.

The released version(s) were 3.1a, 3.1e and 3.1g, based respectively on those
versions of POV-Ray. The 3.1a version might not have seen much distribution,
though. There was also a 3.0 version, but it was never released.

Part of my vision for this benefit CD is to make it searchable by multiple
indices. One of them would be pov version. Also, I think the collection
would be neat if it were limited to the official releases and publicly
available patches. So the official list would be listed below. (Thanks to
Bob et al.) If someone used Chris Huff's particle patch or whatever, they
should tell us how to find the patch.
DKBTrace Ray-Tracer 1.2
DKBTrace Ray-Tracer 2.0
DKBTrace Ray-Tracer 2.05
DKBTrace Ray-Tracer 2.11
DKBTrace Ray-Tracer 2.12
POV-Ray Tracer 0.5
POV-Ray Tracer 1.0
POV-Ray Tracer 2.0
POV-Ray Tracer 2.1
POV-Ray Tracer 2.2
POV-Ray Tracer 3.01
POV-Ray Tracer 3.02
POV-Ray Tracer 3.1a
POV-Ray Tracer 3.1e
POV-Ray Tracer 3.1g
Super Patch
UVPov
MegaPOV 0.1
MegaPOV 0.2
MegaPOV 0.3 (not positive of these, Nathan will know)
MegaPOV 0.4
MegaPOV 0.5
MegaPOV 0.5a

Oops. That's what I get for not trying that one out when it was around.

So people could search for a specific feature and find the POV versions
which support it?

Don't forget the Smellenbergh's MultiPatch, which was the predescessor
to MacMegaPOV(and is where the unofficial interface comes from).

That's not what I meant, and it's not something I was planning to do or
would find easy. If someone could arrange THAT database and there's value
to it (?), it could go in.
What I meant was that I would encourage each entry submission for the
collection to say what version of povray was used. A historian could look
to see just how primitive DBK images were; an "offical release" purist
could be inspired by the special effects of Mega to try it; the pov-team
might be impressed by a hand-coded patch to implement it, etc.....
Of course, I also envision a Columbian magazine editor or a kid wanting to
be inspired by just how good a landscape image can be to would be enabled
in their search by the categories of "country of origin" and "theme."

Could someone explain me what exactly do vista and light buffers do? I'm
interested (I only have a vague idea about vista buffers but I'm not completely
sure).
