When I try to re-render the insert menu bitmaps, there is an error with the
Shapes.pov file.
line 474: Parse Error: Unexpected additional '.' in floating-point number

line 474 is:
  <2.6, 0>, <3.6.9>, <4, 1.1>, <3.4, 2>, <3, 1>, <2, 1>

The second vector has two decimal points

I tried to register with the bug tracker, 12hrs and still no comformation email.
The user name StephenS is now used, not sure what I did wrong. I got the message
at the bottom about checking your email.

Version 3.6 assumed that <3.6.9> was <3.6, 0.9> and that trick has been 
used to shave a character or two here and there.
Versio 3.7 don't assume that any longer and no longer accept that 
construction. You need to change <3.6.9> to <3.6,.9>

In fact, it's not a bug but a correction of an inconstency.

The problem occurs in the Shapes.pov which is distributed with
POV-Ray so I'd call that a bug (in the pov file, of course).

According to FlySpray (the POV-Ray bugtracker) you registered 
successfully, so you should be able to log in by now. I also sent an 
email to the address you provided in your account, to check whether 
there's a typo or other problem with it, but it didn't bounce, so I have 
no idea what went wrong (unless you didn't receive that email of mine 
either, in which case there would indeed be something wrong with your 
email account).

After the account timed out, not completing the registration, I re-submited and
it worked (today local time).

Ah, okay... so maybe just a typo in the email address, or a glitch in 
the matrix, or some such...
