There have been a lot of changes to 4.00, even the GUI has been changed a
bit
(using the new Powerbasic-Forms 1.5 Designer :-). Here are some of the
changes:

1. New communication engine in both: RenderAgent and SMPOV-Main. Supports
WAN Rendering via Foldershare or other "Sync based networks". The new engine
has a central Job-Control. Each renderAgent has to ask for a Job first.
There is a new button, if you check it, you get a logging of the
communication.

- Scripting Interface enables you, to make SMPOV automatically render
(Script-Job-)files that appear in the new COM\AUT-Folder OR that are given
as a commandline-Parameter.

- POV-Settings.exe was not working properly since an ealier update and has
been repared.
- Increased Stability under several difficult circumstances.
- Some new controls for Logging, Sleep-Times etc.
