Almost made it within 4 weeks:
https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/releases/tag/v3.8.0-beta.2
Let us know of any gripes you may have with that version.
Also, feel free to remind us of any gripes you had with the previous
beta that haven't been addressed satisfactorily yet (I'm quite sure
there are some).
Pro Tip: A GitHub issue report
(https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/issues) is the best way to make sure
we're keeping proper tabs on whatever your gripe may be.
Happy Testing!

thanks, builds with only one (same 'trace.cpp') warning. 'datetime(now)' as
before, the '+rtr +kla' test scene still gives me an empty preview window. the
'declare=X=Y' still mangles the value. puzzled what the point of adding '-src'
to archive and directory would be, are there any binaries for not-Windows?
(what is different? :-))

well, this is an amateur reporting. ;-)

Pretty much just conveying the notion that, in contrast to the `povwin-`
stuff, this one is not a binary.

Well, I _could_ point you to the `changelist.txt` in the root directory...
Really I just thought after 4 weeks it might be time for another beta,
even though the changes weren't very numerous. Also, it had that
glorious `datetime` "fix" in it that I wanted to get out for testing,
and that turns out to be doing absolutely zilch because there was
nothing to fix in the first place...

since, in another thread, you professed an interest in *NIX-ness (just
"hampered" because locked in to one tool set ;-)), know then that splitting a
s/ware in to separate "-dev", "-doc", "-src", whatnot, is a Linux thing, not
*NIX. and even then mostly the distributions which target the "Redmond Boy with
unruly streak".

I did look at 'ChangeLog', which referred me to 'revisions.txt'. will have a
look at 'changelist.txt' later.

tja. well, anyway, "onwards and upwards", beta.3.

Then that's good, because no such split is actually intended to be implied.
Just the plain old fact that you need to compile the whole shebang
before it will do anything useful.
User documentation and sample scenes are included (or should be, at any
rate), for instance.
As for the "Redmond Boy with unruly streak", I wouldn't even know what
you're referring to.
