There is no official release schedule or anything like that and the POV-Team
does not disclose internal schedules in general.  That said, while POV-Ray
4.0 will be rewritten in C++, some fundamental aspects of ray-tracing
enforce a certain class structure which at the very least implies all
objects have methods which provide what is currently provided as part of
"Method_Struct" in frame.h .

May I ask which department/professor is leading the research?  If you don't
want to post this here, you may also contact me at
<tho### [at] fitfraunhoferde>.  But please note that I don't read
(or reply) to email ever day.
