I've uploaded a beta 30 (http://www.povray.org/beta/). After spending the
night in hand-to-hand combat with VS 2008, Boost, InstallShield and Vista I
gave up and built the entire thing on my old machine; hence this is a VS
2005 build still.

Next build (presuming I can coax things into working) will incorporate an
update to the current version of boost, a VS 2008 compile, and some bug
fixes. I'll also be looking at the radiosity code.

Thanks for your time.

Note that VS 2008 projects can't be opened directly with VS 2005,
while the other way works fine out of the box. If at all possible,
it would be nice to maintain project files in VS 2005 format.

Thank you very much Chris, you're commitment is surely appreciated!

I have kept both (the source contained a vs8 dir and now also has a vs9).
Main issue is going to be making sure I remember to fire up my old machine
from time to time and apply any changes I have made to the VS8 projects (I
didn't re-install VS8 on the vista box).

I'm guessing the problems with VS2008 include one involving sourceannotations.h
and namespaces, or was that one just for me?

Thanks,

Tom

I did get that, yes. Kinda puzzling for a while, typical internal MS stuff.
Fixed by removing one header file IIRC. Namespaces fixed elsewhere. I've
also now moved to boost 1.37.
