Agreed. I'm not testing the beta with real project, because with real
projects you can tolerate bugs but you can't tolerate a raytracer that
stops working after one month. Faking the date is not an option if you have
an NFS server.

I would greatly appreciate to test betas, but it is currently simply not
possible.

Why not add a command-line parameter that make the beta not expire:
% povray +iknowthisisabetaandiwontreportbugsafterithasexpired

Developers of glxgears did it already. The user has to give a command line
parameter to acknowledge that glxgears is not a benchmark.

-a.
