Hi,

I just start play with povray sources to do my own tests and some utils I
need for
creating shadows map etc., it works perfectly for me. Sources are easy to
understand,
hovewer maybe out of data (especially when focusing on radiosity), so is new
source code available? cvs, snapshoots,...?

I will not contribute, I will not do any patches, I'd like just learn, how
it can be done ...

Thanks,
Pavel

3.1g is the latest available for download from ftp.povray.org.  The source
code of beta versions isn't available for obvious reasons.

Actually, I'm not so sure if the reasons are as "obvious" as they used to
be.  These days, with all the "free software" projects, some people expect
development source code to be available.  Anyway, POV is different, so there
are "reasonable" (though maybe not "obvious") reasons why the beta source is
unavailable.

I'm guessing the reason is support, and this is also the reason why there's
a timeout on the beta-versions. Preferably there should be only one 
official version around, and not lots of different betas.

Also, I seem to remember from a few years back when I was actually a 
beta-tester for the Amiga-version, that compiling the darn thing while it
was still in development was not for the timid.

I was going to say that I can't wait to get my hands on the source, but
I guess I'll have to. :)

Well, I assumed the timeout on the beta versions makes is "obvious" :-)
