Arg! The media-photon bug, the single bug I actually cared about being
fixed, is still there! This is driving me crazy! I can now save and load
media photons, but they still make my media look about twice as bright as it
should. Siiiiigh....

This is what we like to call "planned obsolescence". ;)

Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm honestly very thankful for all the work these guys
do... I was exstatic (sp?) the day I first found POV-Ray, it's an excellent
program. It's just that I have this one scene which is going to be *amazing*
when I finish it, but it needs media photons for half the effect.
Does anyone know if this is in the list of known bugs, or should I bring it
up again in the beta test group?

Heh, maybe he did... that was well before I set Outlook Express to stop
deleting old messages, though, so I don't have that anymore. I'll take your
word for it, and hope it's fixed in the next beta...

Is the cut off date :
POV-Ray for Windows Public Beta 7 - October 30, 2001
still true?
I downloaded it last night before I read this. That IS today!

Right. Any hints on when it will be available?

It is being working on it but I have heard no indication when it will
be ready for the public. It may have to wait for the official release.

I have been compiling the up-to-date version for Solaris for several weeks
now (as I have access to the source code) and helped beta-testing this part
(ie. compiling the unix-version).
However, I understand that making a whole and stable packet of a beta
distribution for Unix is not that simple and there are lots of other things
to do as well... (I think that specially documentation is a bit problematic,
although I'm sure that people would be happy to have just the binary even
without the documentation.)
If there's enough interest in a Sparc Solaris binary, I could see what I
can do to provide one (although I suppose that a Linux binary would be more
requested...).

Yep. When beta 1 came out I offered help to port it to the few Unix
platforms I have access to and was answered that no help was needed as
it runs already on (some) Unixes.

What is the problem with the documentation? The essential parts should
be the same as for Windows and Mac and that's already available in HTML
on povray.org. What's probably missing is an installation guide and a
"what's different" document.

Since the fastest Solaris machine I have access to right now is a 143
MHz Ultra 1 with 96 MB RAM[1], yes, I would prefer Linux :-).

I'd prefer source (Linux), but I suppose that's more habit than necessitie.

I think that the policy is strict here: No source until final version.
This for not making it too easy to overcome the expiration date by just
modifying the source.

Aha! I finally see the reason for not providing the source to the 3.5
betas! Duh! That makes perfect sense. I'd ultimately like to compile it
from source on my Linux box because I can optimize it for my CPU, etc.
The result renders POV scene files much faster than the provided
binaries (for Windows and Linux). But I'll gratefully accept Linux (i86)
binaries for the betas in the mean time :)

It's not like you have to pay for the upgrade you know!
This is what happens when people deal with microsoft too long. :)

No, but everytime I do an upgrade, I have to spend time getting
everything back the way I like it. I accidentally lost my insert menu on the
first beta re-install.
Not that I am complaining, I can get by with MegaPov most of the time
and I appreciate the work done on 3.5, but I can't pretend that frequent
upgrades are effortless either. If the upgrades were only patches for the
files that really needed to be changed, it would be a little nicer.

It's a beta version. By using it, you are just participating in the
beta testing. You should know that it evolves rapidly and new betas come
out every once and then.

I agree, it's irritating setting everything back up. Export/import
settings or just leave the ini files alone when it installs would be nice.

Exactly. Providing an "upgrade" package as well as a full install would
be very nice, indeed.
However, I understand that the POV-Team has better things to do that
search for every modified file since the last package build, and that
our having to re-modify various .ini files to our liking is probaly best
at this point.

So you're not using it, so you're not participating in the beta. The fact
that only a handful of people have a Unix version of POV doesn't make Warp's
statement wrong.

Previous (current) version went to letter "g" after 3.1. It changed even after
final release. I'm sure team not allow us to work with wrong version too long.
