I've seen a difference in one example scene animation from 3.6.1 and 
3.7.beta.7.

Since I was checking on this new beta for its "animation support" I went 
about editing the file Scenes\Animations\speclr.pov so it would show 
roughness variations along with the already changing specular amount, which 
it already did, then realized the decimal number returned by str() was 
skipping 0.1 (going directly from 0.0 to 0.2).

Next I found Cyclic_Animation in the file speclr.ini didn't seem to work the 
same as in 3.6, or at least that something was different about it. That 
meaning, the final scene values don't stay the same between the two 
versions. In this particular case my roughness value went negative due to 
there being one too many calculations with the clock variable.

Sorry, I haven't delved far into this, I just thought it peculiar that there 
would be any differences like this between the program versions at all and 
maybe this could be a bug. Or I thought perhaps the animation functionality 
might still be incomplete. Hopefully I'm not trying to report something 
prematurely.

P.S. another hurray for Chris and all others involved in getting this beta 
out.
