using the linux-version of the latest 3.5Beta, I realized, that
there's a *.tpn-file in the output directory ...
What is this file supposed to store ?

It stores information to later be transmitted to the POV-team to analyse how
many errors your average scene contained. It also stores your private
information, programs you used and web sites you visited to make sure you
used no program other than POV-Ray.
Other than that, it is harmless ;-)

PS: For those who don't get the above answer: I don't know what it is doing
or how it got there.

Hmm,
t = Temp, Total
p = Pixel, temP, Progress
n = Nobody knows, Number

Then let it answer the Linux/Unix guys ...
... but I found it out myself ...
it seems to be a temporary PNG-file ...
I'm rendering some animations on a remote machine, and use
the switches +fn +c +kfi +kff +kc ....

Ah, then I do actually know what it is and where it comes from!

As simply appending data to PNG files isn't possible POV-Ray creates a
backup and then readsthe line from the files it was supposed to continue and
writes them to a new file. It the continues writing all data to the new
file and deletes the old file.
Did POV-Ray crash or was it interrupted in some way while reading in the
initial part it is supposed to continue? Usually those files don't stay
until after execution unless something went wrong with the new ".png" file
or POV-Ray was terminated in some unusual way...

I wondered how pov is doing that ...

Yes, my quotas kicked in, and I had to remove all unfinished PNGs I
had there...
But when relauching the animation with +c it then said, that the
tmp-file was there but not the actual half-ready picture ... So I found out
now ...
