Yes. You've discovered The Secret: despite the strong similarity to
MegaPOV-Ray, which already exists, POV-Ray 3.5 is - and I cannot express
this more emphatically - **COMPLETELY AND ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE**.
Coding it would violate not only laws of computer science, but in fact
laws of physics and even most of the Ten Commandments.
Here's a salt lick. You may need it about now...

I feel your pain. Everyday I check this newsgroup
and hope to see the grand announcement. Like

I'll bet that's what's really keeping POV 3.5 from coming out. Most bugs
must be sorted out by now.

A year ago we also expected POV-Ray 3.5 to come out in a few months because
it'd already been so long. But it didn't. Who can say if most bugs are
sorted out by now or if it'll actually be another year before it is
released? ;)

Or waiting for the test renders to finish is the hardest part, all then
new features, in lots of different scenes, making sure they all work
together, seperately etc. Testing gets very boaring if you can't make
the program go wrong.

I say release it sooner rather than later (beta worts and all) - cos you
know the pov community will just grab it and bug test it to the eyeballs for
you (some creative types may even code your fixes :)

but then it will never be released - you have to at some point come to the
decision that enough is enough and its time for a public beta - afterall
thats what beta is for....

And this too will happen. At the moment things like final syntax
adjustments, big_bug_testing, example scene-file creation, and
documentation needs to be ironed out before the public beta testers
can get their hands on it. It sounds easy but it is not. This release
has a lot of new features, some of which are very complicated, and
will take longer to finish than say v3.1 did.

I guess it's better to wait. I've heard many don't use MegaPov because of bugs -
we wouldn't want the same for Pov 3.5 now would we?

I really don't understand this.
Firstly: There can only be a finite amount of bugs in a code. It can't take
an infinite time to fix them.
Secondly: What's the point in releasing a beta version with *KNOWN* bugs?
You say "that's what beta is for". No, it isn't. A beta release is to
discover unknown bugs, that is, bugs which testing did not find.
Releasing a beta with known bugs just causes tons of reports of those known
bugs. What's the point? "Thanks for your bug report, but we already knew
that". Kind of useless, isn't it?
(Don't bother answering with "but beta-testing can also discover unknown
bugs besides the known ones". Of course it can, but better get rid of the
known bugs first so that the developers can concentrate on the new ones which
come up with the beta testing.)

I think that goes against the Law of Computing Entomology - 'There's
always one more bug'

exactly my point - even if you fix the last bug - your fix creates 2 news
ones.

That makes a good joke, but I don't think it works that way in reality.

I use MegaPov because it contains fixes for several of the bugs that are

In that case, why are ther still some people that don't use MegaPov? I had to

I was reluctant to use any of the patches. It was only my interest in
isosurfaces that changed my mind. Without that, I would still be using the
official release for the same reason you had to change your sig.,
compatibility.

That's fine, just don't tell us.
Actually, it's good to hear it's at a beta testing stage. :)

Pre-beta, actually. The beta-testing stage will be public and will happen
when 3.5 is a whole and complete pack.

More to the point, how can you develop a program without using it?

I've certainly known programmers like that.
When I was a junior programmer (long time ago) I once worked under a
senior programmer who had a habit of slapping in a couple of final bug
fixes at the end of "final testing" just before the software was due to
be shipped to the customer. On a couple of occasions this resulted in
the customers receiving software that was completely non-functional.

I use regular POV-RAY for two reasons:
(1) There is no Amiga MEGA-POV so to be able to move pov stuff
between windows and Amiga without a hassle, I use only
the Official version of POV-Ray when on windows.
(2) I suspect strongly that most Mega POV .pov code will break
in Official POV-Ray 3.5. Betcha the syntax for isosurfaces is
different between 3.5 and mega pov.

The syntax hasn't changed significantly, but not 100% of MegaPov isosurfaces
will work without proper modifications in 3.5.
For example (IIRC), sqr(a) has been changed to a^2 and sqr() is not
supported (the ^2 is automatically optimized so that it does the same as
sqr(a) in MegaPov).
