The beta release has expired as of August 1. Any idea when it may be extended?

on source compile, export POVRAY_BETA=`povray --betacode`
it's all I need (until it became very old).

Quick task summary (from web site), personal view:
 * isosurface, bounding box & threads : solved, close it
 * configure: error: Could not link against boost...   requested number
of boost still too low (35 does not have yield())
 * Mesh not smooth in 64-bit beta 32 : not able to test, please check if
you have windows 64bit. fine on linux 64 bits
 * X Window preview might lock : still there, may be related to random
XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server
":0.0"
      after 108 requests (107 known processed) with 18 events remaining.
at the start of rendering. Let's loose the title if all else fails!
 * Compilation on freebsd: not able to test, please check if you have
freebsd.
 * Function pattern in image map: it does not seems to work on my
compilation (source, linux 64 bits)

(Documentation need also synchronisation with 3.7 on some aspects)

That's how it works on Unix (and therefore also Mac I'd guess), but on 
Windows, clicking "extend" *should* work (you need to wait 10 seconds of 
course before the button will become available).

@Samour:
I had no trouble extending the official beta.33 release, so maybe 
there's an incompatibility with the Intel compiler you're using?
Or, maybe the source distribution has a bogus EXPIRE_AT defined in 
povray.h; it should be 1243807200 + DAYS(61).

Did you try it with beta.33?

Can you elaborate? Again, is it actually beta.33 you're using? I thought 
the Linux code wasn't updated?

No I'm using beta 32 actually, the source for beta 33 isn't up yet right?
EXPIRE_AT is 1243807200. I'll add the + DAYS(61) and let you know if it works.

I tried increasing the value in the if statement slightly by replacing 366 with
400 (because it says it can't be extended to more than Dec 31):

if (_time32 (NULL) > EXPIRE_AT + DAYS(366))

It works now with the change to EXPIRE_AT. Thanks.

Yes. A link to beta.33 was posted by Nicolas Calimet, 22/7/2009 18:44:02
(+0200, my time/ 12:44:02 -0400 from header), in this group.

Sorry, my fault.
the scene in task would actually benefit from a finish {ambient 1} on
last object.

Let's close it too (once a subtask for documentation is opened, or
documentation updated for that syntax)

Thanks for pushing me, it's great news!
(excepted the X-crash I'm getting more and more...)
