Probably.  Beta 10 ignores the angle statement unless it is the last 
component in the camera block (this change wasn't documented) and requires 
the up and right vectors to be given when using the orthographic camera.  
The former change is not backward compatible with previous versions of Pov 
and the latter means that orthographic and perspective cameras no longer 
give the same field of view even when all other camera keywords are 
identical.
