Gawrsh, I seem to have touched off a huge argument about the nature of the text
object enhancements. I guess that particular example hit some resonant chord, which
was not my intent. The original question had to do more with the excluded features
(which I will not name for fear of a flareup <g>), and whether or not we could
expect to see them in a future release when they became more stable.

I think the plan is for no more 3.x versions after 3.5.  4.0 will be a complete
rewrite, so the chance of useful features being included is probably pretty 
high.

Don't worry, my little friend. Nathan will save us all with a MegaPov 0.8
based on POV 3.5 with all those features.
Hope this makes you sleep. ;)

After 0.9.0 comes 0.10.0

...or the short version: after 0.9 comes 0.10

;)

I expect features that are redundant won't be future versions of MegaPOV
either...

Post Processing is redundant?!

Who said anything about post processing?
Thorsten only said redundant features (such as text object alignment) 
probably won't be included, which makes perfect sense. The post_process 
patch hadn't even been mentioned in this thread before your message.

Forget redundant, the update page says that it won't be included.
So perhaps there will be a way that Post Processing can be reintroduced
in a future 3.5 based MegaPOV.
