Hello there POV-Ray and Moray users!

It's been a few decades, lol. Glad to see there are still some of you around.

I had some AI tokens at my disposal and decided to put Claude Code to work and
get Moray running on x64 (based on Federicos abandoned branch) and then got it
to support POV-Ray 3.8, including integrated previews with a dedicated VFE-based
server.

So I just pushed that work to the master branch in the BitBucket repo. Not sure
who has access to that, but if there is sufficient interest we can probably make
a packaged release as well. There are no more 3rd party libraries in the code.

Anyway, some of the code in this modeller is now over 30 years old! I started in
the early 90's on it... ahhh, the memories.

I might check in every now and again and implement some things. The POV-Ray 3.8
support is currently strictly limited to VFE calling and making sure the INIs
are compatible. No new features are supported. Also, it might still have some
bugs in it and I will fix the ones I haven't run into during this port, if they
are reported.

Much love to you all!

Cheers,

- Lutz
