I had in mind this issue being a good example that information made
available on https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray is useful to the POV-Ray
community as a whole - no matter who makes it available there.
Christoph is the effective github gate keeper for the code base and I
see this morning a git commit/fix was made. Jim Holsenback similarly is
the gate keeper for documentation. Either can make changes to 'POV-Ray'
directly.
Any of us willing to climb the learning curve can submit a
code/distribution pull requests via git & github. There is too a
simpler method to edit and submit small changes directly on github
without having to get fully into git / github though you need an account.
See:
https://help.github.com/articles/editing-files-in-your-repository/
No matter who publishes fixes/changes/'commits' to github, these are
publicly available to everyone via the github web site. Christoph's
'commit' can be seen in the list of commits for the v3.7.1 at:
https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/commits/release/v3.7.1
click on the particular commit "Fix `ior.inc`." and see the edits needed
to get running with ior.inc prior to any new official release.
The differences shown are those Cousin Ricky posted in this thread - in
a form all can see - and that all of us up and running with git and
github can with a click/command or two immediately use & test locally
and well ahead of - or even completely apart from - any official
'POV-Ray' adoption and release.
In general I'm advocating for more github use by the POV-Ray community -
as a place to publish code controlled object libraries too.
