Smellenbergh is putting together 0.6b with some bug fixes and minor
enhancements. I've put all of my recent bugfixes into POV 3.5, but I'll try
to work some of them into MegaPov.

Wonderful! Will you be adding the stuff from Jerome now?

What stuff exactly are you referring to?

He says he sent you the stuff from his patch
(http://perso.enst.fr/~jberger/mpov/mpov.html), and that he saw some parts
of it in the MegaPOV sources, but they were commented out or something. They
fix bugs in media, and and some stuff. Sorry I can't be more specific. I
don't know much about your communication or his patch. I just know it's a
good thing.

We think so! :-)
Most of that stuff is already in 0.6b.
We didn't ask Jerome's permission yet to add his stuff. We will do so
but Jerome, if you have no objections you can let us know in advance :-)
For you Mac users who have MacOS X: Yes there will be a carbonised
version of MegaPOV 0.6b!
No release date yet but as soon as possible.
There is still quite a bit of work to do!

Joy! : )

Last time I checked with him, he commented that he didn't know why Nathan
*hadn't* added the stuff. He wants it in MegaPOV, as far as I know.

You asked...
It means it is written using Carbon, one of the API's for Mac OS X.
Carbon is based on the old Mac ToolBox API, updated to allow things like
preemptive multitasking and memory protection...it's advantages are that
a total rewrite of the software is not necessary, developers don't have
to learn a completely new API, and programs using it can run on both
pre-OS X systems (OS 9, and I think OS 8.x with some updated libraries)
and OS X.
The other major API for OS X applications is Cocoa(as in hot chocolate),
which is designed to be used with the Objective-C language, though it
can also be used with Java and (I think) C++. It's main advantage is
development speed(though it may not have as much of an advantage there,
the same tools work with Carbon)...and to me it seems easier to learn.
And it is completely object-oriented, and more up to date...Carbon
apparently still shows it's Pascal ancestry.
Is that more than you wanted to know? If not, I can dig up more... ;-)

Burnt to a crisp. For those with seriously overclocked machines, no doubt.

Thanks, Chris... Just the right amount I wanted to know. :) The only time
I've used a Mac was while we were scanning the yearbook pictures, and
someone's uncle worked at a company that had 'em and they let us use 'em.
All I can say is that I have a deep respect for the Quadra. That little
thing chugged along almost as good as my machine (considering the gigantic
resolutions we were scanning at). They let us use the G3 one day... it was
great... but I'm a PC guy at heart. :)

I don't have any objection, on the contrary, I'd be
delighted to see it included in something more "official"
than mine :)
