There's a new windows beta available, beta 38, which fixes the timeout
issue. It also has a bunch of other fixes and improvements. See

  http://www.povray.org/beta/

for the changelist and download links.

Goodness gracious, kudos to whomever proposed and/or implemented the display of
filename when hovering over an editor tab and the  right-click menu to editor
tabs!

Well done, POV-team!

Sorry, there are some questions and comments

1. In version 3.7 beta38 issue warnings on your own Gold.inc
for example
File: ..\My Documents\POV-Ray\v3.7\include\golds.inc Line: 118
Parse Warning: Expected pure RGB color expression, unexpected filter and
transmit components will have no effect.

2.Using Radiosity:

Compared with version 3.1 beta37a output image has now become VERY
dark.

current settings Radiosity:

global_settings (
  file_gamma 1
  max_trace_level 5
  radiosity (
       count 100
       nearest_count 5
       error_bound 2
       recursion_limit 2
       low_error_factor 0.2
       minimum_reuse 0.015
       gray_threshold 0.0
       brightness 1
       adc_bailout 0.01/2
 )
)

what's wrong?

Now, ambient is automaticaly turned off for radiosity scenes.
Add emission to the finish.

This is a known issue, and will be addressed when time permits; please 
don't worry about it for now.

Can you please be more specific? A full scene showcasing the problem may 
probably be required for a useful answer; INI and command line settings 
might also be needed.

Yup - there has been a major change regarding ambient and radiosity.

Just one little note, to reduce possible confusion for users:

In povray.ini, it is still mentioned that "up 20 paths may be specified.". 
This is not true anymore.

The answer has already obtained. "AMBIENT" NO LONGER WORKS IN RADIOSITY SCENES"
Thanks.
