Perhaps since it was never added as a menu option and lacks a keyboard
shortcut maybe that's why it wasn't readily possible to include it in the
tray icon menu.

You'd think pressing the Pause key would work but that just never seems to
do anything anymore in Windows since it's more of "a DOS thing". Of course,
inadvertantly pausing a rendering and not realizing it sounds like it was
one of the reasons it never got beyond the toolbar. Not sure about that,
just seems it was discussed in that way long ago.

	Funny, I was also looking from time to time any reaction about
this message from Chris  ;-)

Exciting news (checks keyring). Oh well, at least I don't have to upgrade that.

Is there to be any public discussion regarding what makes it into 3.6? (I don't
have any requests myself*, but I suspect that now you've called attention to the
announcement the floodgates may open).

* well, not yet ;)

The only way would be to post really outrageous things there from time to
time, like :

"Microsoft's POV-Ray buyout: according to the software giant, the raytracer
will be made closed source and tightly integrated in Longhorn. All
non-Windows versions will be discontinued. Windows users will be amazed by
the long-expected Clippy primitive. Security patches to follow next. "

or

"POV-Ray will be used exclusively to render Finding Nemo 2, according to
Pixar insiders. This long-expected sequel will be released in 2072."

or

"NASA's Mars images were all faked with POV-Ray and we have the code,
nutcases claim on www.povrayconspiracies.com"

My humblest apologies.  I thought I was subscribed to that group, but I was 
mistaken.  The post has more information than I could have hoped for.  

Thank you to the whole team

Thanks.  Even if it does not make it in, I am sure that I will still be 
delighted with 3.6.  The status report had many good things, that I figured 
were still quite a few years out.

Objection!

I read it.

Well, when I say 'read it', I read the few and infrequent messages 
posted there.  I caught the recent post, but since I'm not doing much 
(if any) POV ATM, it didn't really affect me, and so I carried on as 
normal, quite happy to let the POV team get on with what they do.

:P

:)

Jamie.
