Greetings,
The moment you have all been waiting for has arrived. The first public
beta release of POV-Ray v3.5 is now available for download. At the
present time only the Windows and Macintosh versions of the program
are available for beta testing. If other platforms become available
you will be notified by an announcement in this group.
You can follow the link from http://povray.org to get to the beta
download page.
PLEASE take the time to read everything on the download page!
You will find a new group has been added to this news server -
povray.beta-test. You will need to subscribe to this group if
you want to participate in the beta testing rounds.
READ my welcome message before posting to that group.
Enjoy,

I did the same, but now it's coming along. "I can't wait..."

Hmm, me too (which would seem to point to a minor design problem on the page). I
was so convinced I'd d/l'd the right file, I went ahead and installed it,
convinced that all the messages and warnings were because the 3.5 install had
been patched onto the install for 3.1.
No harm done...

I read this message at 7:30 today, and had to take some time deciding
wheather or not to ring work and say I'm sick. But the unix version
isn't out yet as far as I know so I decided to go to work and have a
look using the windows95 maching when back home.
I'm back home now so I'll give it a spin. Yippeeee.

I did the exact same thing. The download page is confusing at best, and I came to
the same conclusion, that the 3.1 installer was somehow being used for the 3.5 beta.
It might help if there is something that directs the user to the bottom of the page,
where the correct link is.

I was up to do the same until I saw that the file size was the same as
3.1. That made me stop and wonder.
Now 3.5 is on my HDD ready to install...

If I hadn't read the other posts I would have too. I downloaded the
wrong one and started the install. The page is not clear.

I think they have done it like that on purpose. They only want the users
that can read to do the beta testing, so that is how they weed out the
"undesirerables". }:>

LOL - makes sense (although apparently spelling is not a criteria ;)

Shouldn't that be "criterion?"

Hmm, I think you're right, but I'm not sure. Besides, getting something wrong in
any post criticising spelling is obligatory. Follow ups (?) set.

I can't believe this: so many experienced POVers and them downloading
the old 3.1 version!!
For me there was no hesitation at all to dl the right file: you
certainly must have been all very very excited not to see clearly any
more :)
There is surely a lot of beauty in the new version: unfortunately I am
going abroad for a holiday very soon and will return only after
expiration of this beta version. But who knows what will be waiting for
me then...

Yup. At least someone here knows English. (j/k)
I got an email in all lowercase with no apostrophes asking if someone
could use my Sterlingware fractals as web/email backgrounds provided
they give due credit. I said fine, but I don't know why on Earth they'd
want to, and they should get their keyboard fixed...
