No, not completely, but you are getting closer!   It is more like:

POV-Ray 3.1d + bugfixes + new stuff + parts of SuperPatch + bugfixes + more
new stuff + 3.1e + more parts of SuperPatch + bugfixes + 3.1f and 3.1g +
more new stuff + bugfixes + MegaPOV 0.5a - unstable features + more new
stuff + bugfixes = POV-Ray 3.5

Get it? ;-)


Or, to add to Nathan's list (I don't claim it is complete):

There is also the situation where there are two independent features of the
same kind that were developed for 3.5 and someone made a patch doing
something similar.
