I just heard (well, read) that the 3.7 beta also supports HDR.

Is it both in- and output?

How's it used? Straightforward MegaPOV style, or are there differences?

Would be great to have both .hdr and multiprocessor support.

Are there any other features - apart .hdr and distributed rendering - that have
made their way into the beta? I'd most particularly like to see the
no_radiosity flag supported.

Is there an official (or at least semi-official) documentation about the new
features in the beta?

Just the release notes. As new stuff is added, it turns up there, with
enough documentation to use it.

The official binaries support HDR and OpenEXR format input and output.
