There is no such thing as a "stable release candidate" ;-)

And no, there also hasn't been any stable release after v3.7.0.0 yet. 
For a version to fix the above error (known as FS#313) you'll need to 
download any development version (the "master" branch) after 2013-12-16 
(or, more precisely, commit 278eb39).

I suggest one of the following:

- 
https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/tree/ca930a9fd821020abc5fe91b21f45312794ca98d

(This was the last "master" commit before merging the first of my major 
code refactoring sprees.)

- 
https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/tree/9b10411d2a662a1d1efae2a4080179d625af79e6

(This was the last "master" commit with the same set of functionality as 
v3.7.0.0 release proper.)

- 
https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/tree/54b283a0d39c637ce9d4ab16512a364e993c58c5

(This is the latest and greatest, featuring fancy improvements to 
texture finish recently shown off in povray.binary.images. Do NOT use 
this if you want to force users to keep their scenes compatible with 
v3.7.0.0 stable ;-))
