Beta 7 is out now:
https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/releases/tag/v3.7.1-beta.7
This is primarily a hotfix for beta 6 to solve the "illegal instruction"
crashes seen on non-AVX-capable CPUs (and address performance issues
seen on most other CPUs). It also fixes a few sphere sweep issues.
Happy testing!

this (3.7.1-beta.7+msvc14.win64) worked fine on a win7 64 machine with e5450
xeon harpertown (core2/penryn) cpus.
it (3.7.1-beta.7+msvc14.sse2.win32) also worked on a winxp 32 machine with a
l5410 xeon harpertown (core2/penryn) cpu.
thank you for your efforts.

i'm running on opensuse-13.2 64-bit gcc 4.8.3 and on doze-7 32-bit both
are amd multi-core ... not much testing just ran biscuit. i'm guessing i
wasn't quick enough with the doc update i did yesterday ... no worries
mainly cosmetic

Knowing it runs the biscuit scene is good enough for me for starters,
given that beta 6 wouldn't have gotten even that far ;) (the Windows
version, that is).

No, the timing would actually have been perfect - had I not been so
obsessed with getting the beta 6 crash ironed out that I totally forgot
about the docs update until I had already rushed out the beta 7. Sorry,
next beta will have it.

Haven't really been able to check it out thoroughly yet but my sphere_sweep test
scene still shows a dark line through the middle of it.
However did not see anything wrong with a shell coil shape I did to check that.
As well as a differencing of the same object from itself, scaled and translated.

Tried again with the chart/graph sphere_sweep that had shown the problem before,
except camera changed to perspective instead of orthographic, and angle
increased to get a better look too.
Beta 6 makes a mess of it. I could clean it up by using tolerance 0.3, just
doesn't seem to improve beyond that.
Posting comparison of that from official 3.7 and beta 6 at p.b.images.

Sure you mean beta 7, right? Beta 6 is obsolete.

That is to be expected. While beta 7 does fix /some/ sphere sweep
issues, it doesn't fix those artifacts you're talking about.

The Windows binary installs and runs OK on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
Thanks for the quick AVX fix re: beta 6.
