I started a render last night and found my Beta had expired this morning, so
I couldn't do anything until it was finished.  Then when I went to get the
new Beta, lo and behold! the final release!  and a new website to boot!
Good work to all involved and congrats (now git yer butts working on 4 ;)).

I have a question though, where do we discuss any new bugs or issues now?

I came across a tiny one last night:
In the insert menu for global photons there is an entry for a keyword
called 'steps'. Using 'steps' creates an error (I can't remember exactly
what it says, I'm running a render and I can't start a new instance because
my beta has expired), seemingly it's not a valid keyword for photons.  It
also doesn't appear anywhere in the docs.  Also 'steps' is highlighted as a
keyword still.

But I'm not gonna cry over this.

Congrats again!
And to CJC: good work on the real-time rendering ;)

  Hi, Felix. Discussions of possible bugs for v3.5 should be held in
povray.general, unless otherwise specified by the POV-Team or TAG. The
bugreports group is for verifiable bugs, only - not discussions.

I cite from  ftp://ftp.povray.org/pub/povray/Official/Linux/README:

Please report any problems to the povray.beta-test group on news.povray.org
(which is still active for reporting initial post-release problems).

Regards,

Which is nothing more than a leftover from the beta testing that wasn't
removed...

What real-time rendering is this?

I haven't actually downloaded the final version yet, would that answer my
question? =)

  There's an easter egg (ie. hidden feature) which is triggered by doing
something special.
  (Good thing the trick hasn't been widely spread yet... The surprise effect
is still there. :P )

*gasp*

Augh! Must find it!

Or perhaps it will be left in the code somewhere when that comes out? =)

No, the RTR demo is kept separate and POV-Ray source that will be
distributed will not include it - that way official versions are "unique" in
their own way.  However, it is likely that you will be able to find the
enabling key combination in the source code...

PS: The key combination is different on Macs, but the Mac docs are fairly
clear in giving hints :-)
