Point well taken. And the latest information I have dates back seven months
anyhow.
I am a little concerned that with the word spreading of a revision coming
soon that more and more people will want to hear what to expect rather than
rumor. Should a statement be made public at www.povray.org to quench their
thirst? Or would that be like opening the floodgates?
Seems it would be fine in the What's New section there, if deemed
appropriate.

Confused me more ;-)
Anyway... I can see this both ways, it sounds like a simple bug-fix update
so why bother with details? And at the same time a kind of enhancement or
improvement in the works, even if nothing radically different, enough to
suggest it isn't just trimmed either. For instance, speed improvements can
go a long way even though nothing actually changes or adds a feature. That's
something most people would want to know, especially anything new.
Now I feel like part of a rumor mill, and I didn't want to be. This is a
reason I believe an official WIP statement would help not hurt.

I don't think that someone who play with "POV" is an "average windows user".
On my side, I don't care when it's gonna be out. 3.5 is a marvalous piece of
software, and on top of that IT'S FREE. Free Is GOOD!
Thanks
Ciao!

I think enough has been said already.

But the whole software industry uses it! While certain vendors hide the
version number behind a year number outside the package, the products still
show the real version number - which follows what has been "standard" for
over thirty years - in their about box dialog. I.e. if you check your
system information, Windows 2000 is Windows NT 5.0 and XP is Windows NT 5.1.
Your newsreader is Forte Agent 1.8, etc, etc. :-)

Sincerely, what do you mean by your statement? I see myself as an
average windows user, because that's all I know. BUT PoV for me is a
fantastic "get me outta here" program which means I can escape the
crap world I live in for a few hours (or more!) and create art that I
never knew existed in me until I discovered PoV. ;)
Personally, I think the PoV community held it all together, and
put PoV where it is now, and I look forward to further developments
which I think should be implemented in PoV 4.0. (Man, that one's gonna
rock, eh?)
Afterthought: Heh... I'm not saying that I had any part in building
PoV up to what it is in this community (how could I?), but I'm sure
glad to be a part of it now! :o)
Later.
