Thanks for the update, Chris! I was recalling making bug reports for 3.0
when it was in beta. That was an exciting time, and then I realized that
was _five_ years ago! Despite being a point 5 release, I suspect this
release will almost as much a step up as it was from 1.x to 2.0.
As a user since POV 0.5, I am greatly endebted to you and the whole team for
such a wonderful, amazing tool!

Good golly, miss Molly! That was 5 years ago? And to think, I was just
starting out in POV at that time... I feel old for such a young guy... :)

I was working on a really cool animation and was attempting to use the new
atmosphere feature. The animation worked out really well and I found and
documented a couple of bugs to boot. IIRC, I was communicating with none
other than Chris Cason. I know it was five years ago because that was right
when my second child was born and he is now 5.
What's even scarier is that I actually did a major project with POV 1 for
someone once (an image of which can be found on my meager and hopelessly out
of date Website at http://www.zycha.com) before you could #declare...
I've still got the code, but all the imagemap .GIF's are on tape if I have
them at all.

Maybe a compare and contrast is in order for the history
buffs: what is different, better, worse.

Compare and contrast POV version 3.x with 1.x? If that's what you mean,
then there is no comparison. The newer versions of POV are better in every
way.

More along the lines of showing us just how far the scripting language
has advanced, the new features, the new abilities. Some may never have
had the pleasure of working with v1.0
