pay attention folks, the same question has been asked and answered a
million times.  search the groups for the answers you seek.  most
newsreaders have a 'find' ability.

I would be happy to see the start of POV 3.5 beta phase!!!

P.S.:
Q: Why don't you use MegaPOV?
A: There is no official list of MegaPOV features marked for POV 3.5
inclusion. What if I start using functionalities which are dropped from the
official release? Sorry, I prefer to wait.
By the way, it would be a great idea if the dev team posted a todo list
telling us
1) what is going to be in 3.5 (if not ready, 3.5 is delayed)
2) what is likely to go in 3.5 (but if late it is shifted to 4.0)
3) what is scheduled for 3.5 but VERY likely to go in 4.0
4) the FORGET IT FOREVER!!! list.

Bye!!!

The goal of using POV is making images, not "using POV" !  Features
in MegaPOV allows you to make nicer images, so go for it !
Q.What if a feature is modified ?
A.Well, many will be, at least for syntax coherence reasons, but the
  knowledge you gained with MegaPOV can't be 100% lost.
Q.What if a feature is removed ? 
A.You STILL will be able to use MegaPOV at that time !  There is great
probability that, once 3.5 will be released, the next MegaPOV (or
HyperPov,
or whatever) will be a 3.5 with every other features added.

Not being a member or speaking for the team, but I'm pretty sure that :

> 1) what is going to be in 3.5 (if not ready, 3.5 is delayed)

 Most of MegaPOV's feature, especially those who already works without
problem.

> 2) what is likely to go in 3.5 (but if late it is shifted to 4.0)

 The MegaPOV features that aren't currently satisfying enough.

> 3) what is scheduled for 3.5 but VERY likely to go in 4.0

Nothing. 4.0 is another "beast", the famous "C++ rewrite", but not
a feature-addition-release. (of course, new features might come
with 4.0, but that's not the primary intention).

> 4) the FORGET IT FOREVER!!! list.
 Realtime raytracing, integrated modeller, raccoon object,...

**START THE SARCASM**
I am hoping and praying- where is POV 10? why don't they hurry up? May I
have the home phone numbers of each and every member of the POV team so I
may ask them myself?
**ENDING THE SARCASM NOW**

  As someone already answered, there's no reason for not trying megapov. As
the other one said, what you learn with megapov can't be 100% useless.

: By the way, it would be a great idea if the dev team posted a todo list
: telling us

  I think that the povteam has its reasons for not telling too many details
about the future version. I think (and this is only my personal impression)
that it has something to do with the fact that they are still testing how
the different features of megapov can be seamlessly implemented in povray
(so that they don't cause problems with the existing code and features, that
they are not contradictory with the other features and so on; don't think that
if a feature seems to work fine in megapov, it is high-quality code that 
interacts perfectly with the rest of the code as the pov team originally has
intended).
  But you are right that you shouldn't count on every single feature of megapov
being implemented in povray 3.5. But as far as I know, most of them will be.

  I DON'T speak for the pov-team in any way.

Yes, it's a "raton-laveur" !!
I'm absolutely sure that there will be no "raton laveur" object
in any POV-Reay release...

According to Lewisohn's book, the organ part was recorded on 
april 20 1969, but there's no mention of WHO plays it.  It isn't
Billy Preston, he wasn't there anymore at the time.  So, I guess
it may be either Harrison, McCartney, or George Martin (John
could play hammond, but I dont think he would've played THAT way).

Fabien.

Dowlding (Beatlesongs) says John, but cites Stannard (The Long and
Winding Road) for "unidentified".
