Running the v3.8-alpha.9811560+av591.msvc14 development build in Windows, with a
1280X960 render:

Antialiasing....on (method 2, Threshold 0.050, Depth 3, Jitter 1.00,  Gamma
2.50)
Samples:  10378994         Smpls/Pxl:  7.94

I didn't think to look there --and you are correct, it is falling back to AA
method 2, and WITH jitter(!). Thanks for the tip. It seems odd that I don't
*see* any animation jitter...although I'm not complaining!  ;-)

[off-topic]:
Strange thing: This development build that I'm currently running within v3.7.0
-- the replacement 'pvengine64' file-- came from a folder labeled
    povray-3.8.0-x.10064738-av694-Win64
(which is the name it un-Zipped to when I downloaded it.) But the version
numbers don't match.

I think I'll check out some of the other v3.8-alpha builds that I have, to see
if *any* of them will run the new  am3 AA  successfully.
