WinPOV 3.5 b 10
In 6.11.11.2.7 about low_error_bound there is sentence "(...) The solution to
this is the mosaic preview: it goes over the image one or more times beforehand,
calculating radiosity values." But it is not clearly described is this the same
mosaic preview available with +SP and +EP or is this mosaic preview described in
6.11.11.2.13 in pretrace section ? Or in case of radiosity old mosaic preview is
the same as pretrace ? It's not clearly explained IMO.

"(...) The solution to
this is the mosaic preview, controled by pretrace: it goes over the image
one or more times beforehand, calculating radiosity values."
with pretrace linked to its own section.

Note, however, that if you use +SP and +EP command line options, they'll
override the pretrace settings.
I don't know if this is intentional or something left by mistake.

It is described in '2.6.2 Photons, Dispersion and Improved Radiosity' however
it is not clear what should have priority:
Instead of using the INI options "Preview_Start_Size" and "Preview_End_Size"
to control the radiosity pre-trace gathering step, use the keywords
pretrace_start and pretrace_end within the radiosity block inside
global_settings.
BTW: I think it is enough important to be placed in main radiosity chapter
instead of "What's new in 3.5".

As the mosaic preview is a _preview_ feature it doesn't really make sense
when used with radiosity. One should not use the mosaic preview and
radiosity. If one does, it may work or won't. This has never been
different before.

But radiosity worked differently. Previously it required ingerention as ini
switch. Now it is on just with radiosity{} block. Usually users have scenes
controlled with switches like:
#declare Use_Focal = on;
#declare Use_Radiosity = on;
When something is specified in script (like focal) and interfere with ini
switch (like AA) then script has priority. When radiosity is invoked it
automatically turn on pretrace. There is neither warning that it could
interfere with ini setting nor good note in documentation.

Uh... I don't know if I'm suffering from some lapsus or what, but I can't
remember writing this. I remember *reading* this previously, but not writing
it myself.
This is weird, but I have the strong feeling that this was not written by
me, even though it has my signature, and the text indentation is the same
which I use. Am I getting old or what?
(On the other hand, I never use the expression "they'll". And I usually
write command-line parameters in lowercase in my posts.)
Am I becoming crazy or what?

I hoped that as I get older I would get wiser, but you can't get

I disagree.
1: I may need radiosity in a preview, e.g. when I want to test wether
radiosity suffices to shed enough light on some part of a scene.
2: I may not mind the 33% overhead, e.g. when I render somebody
else's scene and I want to know quickly what it is and only
eventually obtain the final image.
3: The doc (5.2.2.2.4) reads:
Future versions of POV-Ray will include some system
of temporary files or buffers which will eliminatethese
inefficiencies and limitations.
As soon as that is established, mosaic preview will be as quick as
line-by-line preview, but more informative. At that time everybody
will mix radiosity and mosaic, so why disallow now?

Would You like to describe what are you consider crazy in your original post ?
Doesn't +SP and +EP override the pretrace settings ? Wasn't this intentional
or something left by mistake ? :-)
The only thing I consider inconsistent is that something called 'preview'
influences something called 'pretrace' without any well written note or parse
warning. They are two separated technics but somehow they share settings and
it confused a few people - why to not warn users about it. There are more
obvious notes builded in package like "You can press F1 within editor to get
syntax help" tip.

Maybe just because you wrote it a long time ago?

No. I doubt my sanity because I am so sure that I did not post that
article, but was posted by someone else. I don't remember writing that.
I remember reading it, but not writing it myself.
I wonder if a news server can mix two articles together. Perhaps I'm just
being paranoid.

There were three threads so perhaps you are ... less paranoid ;-)

My signature is missing a line in that post.

In this post, too. But via NNTP there's the right signature, just at the
web access the line is missing. Very strange...

Yes, I noticed that before. It must be caused by the opening square bracket at
the 1st position of the 2nd line. (just a guess)
