This bug wasn't in the list...

http://news.povray.org/povray.beta-test/19303/?ttop=19763&toff=50

It's unconfirmed, I believe. Perhaps it was just overlooked by everyone. =)

And a while ago I posted something about a problem with media photons being
too bright
(http://news.povray.org/povray.beta-test/19126/?ttop=19763&toff=100) and
Nathan Kopp said he was "still looking into it"... I'm not sure what that
means exactly, but I don't see it in the bug list, confirmed or unconfirmed,
so I thought I should mention it. (note that at least one of the other bugs
I mentioned in that thread *have* been fixed. The media photons one has not,
as of beta 7.)

Can anyone tell me how to turn these references into message-ids?

Just did a search on the titles in this newsgroup with my news client.

You un-fixed it in change 1042, by the looks (at least, change 1042 un-does the
change you did in change 503 ...)

Oh, I'm sorry about that. Is there a simple way to get the real URL, in the
future?

Bug with declaration with no dimensions
http://news.povray.org/scpitt851apfq5r6qtsoi1vpupt77g829s@4ax.com
I don't know it is confirmed or not (Ron answered but no change within
beta 7)

Why ?

You maintained this within your list as bug (so someone confirmed it) and I
don't see any discussion about it ? So what changed ? Perhaps compiler platform.
But it still not work with beta 7. Example attached to bugreport is only
example. I have designed large system based on Parse_String (many times called
Parse_String) and within generated files parser reports nonsesnse content (but
content of files is ok). And my system works fine when I replace content of
Parse_String with 

#declare Parse_String_Counter=0;
#macro Parse_String(String)
    #local File_Name=
        concat("parse_string_",str(Parse_String_Counter,0,0),".tmp")
    #fopen FOut File_Name write
    #write(FOut,String)
    #fclose FOut
    #declare Parse_String_Counter=Parse_String_Counter+1;
    #include File_Name
#end

So I think povray is not prepared to twice read/write the same file with
different content. Now I found your post that it is rather limitation. If this
is confirmed limitation by the Team then it is sad fact for me. I found way to
make simple OOP for SDL with this.

There is another thing connected with Parse_String reported by me and not
included anywhere (no answer, no list entry, no change within documentation)

Yes!  Now I remember!  I did so after I fixed the comparison function VM
problem in change 1036 and then apparently reversed that code twice...

It's not confirmed by the Team. I don't really know if it's just a
limitation but I'm fairly sure it is.

What prevents you from using the method with the counter?

I'll look into this.

IIRC you can be right. There was fast macro patch within megapov based on
remebering content of macro in memory insted of file. Unfortnatelly it is part
of "Not part of 3.5" from status report.

I just found clear sentence within documentation "Calling a macro in another
file therefore requires that the other file be opened and closed for each call.
Normally, this overhead is inconsequential; however, if you are calling the
macro many thousands of times, it can cause significant delays. A future version
of the POV-Ray language will remove this problem."

I hope "future" mean 3.5a ;-)

nothing special. just hundreds of files :-(
I'm trying to prepare article about it for p.a-u
