It is with pleasure that the POV-Team announces that POV-Ray version
3.5 is now officially available for the Windows, Macintosh and Linux
platforms.
In development for well over two years, v3.5 is a major improvement
over all previous versions, not only in features, but in stability
and the quality of the documentation and included example files. Of
course, we don't claim it to be bug free (see our known bugs list at
our web site), but given our extensive alpha, pre-beta and beta program
we feel that what we are releasing today is a stable, well-tested piece
of software that can be used with confidence.
Since our first internal alpha version (early 2001), we have built 6
alphas, 14 private pre-betas, 16 public betas, and 6 release candidates
to get us to today's final 3.5 release. During this time we read,
reviewed, and in many cases answered over 12,000 newsgroup postings in
our private and public beta test forums, resulting in many hundreds of
bug fixes and improvements.
The POV-Team would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to all those who
helped to make this possible, and particularly to our dedicated group
of pre-beta testers, who not only performed testing functions but also
made major contributions to the scene and documentation files, not only
during the pre-beta stage but right up to the days before the final
release.
I would also like to extend my personal thanks to the POV-Team members
who worked long and hard on this since we started on it all those years
ago. Your dedication is truly appreciated.

POV-Team Co-ordinator

Thank you and _The Team_ for your hard work. Perhaps this may also
explain why I've been unable access the pov site this morning?
Whoa - povray.org just loaded at last (13:12 utc) and its had a face
lift.

Bravo to all the POV-Team and thanks for giving as a gift the result of
their work!!
Compliments to the web designer too, the site now has a more professional
and clean look.
I'm looking forward the release of the source code.

My personal guess is that there might be some 3.51 or whatever version

The series Povray 3.0, 3.1, 3.5, 3.51 and 4 sounds oddly familiar :-p
Next -> Povay 4 SR6, Povay 2000, Povay XP Home Edition, Povay XP
Professional
Oops, I said something wrong.

Yes, please... who needs 4.0? For me it can take 10 more years... I don't
worry: I think I need all that time, at least, to be tired of 3.5 (if this
is possible). Let us see what 3.5 can do NOW, and forget about 4.0... :)
Thanks to the POV-Team!

I would like to thank you too, the Team, the TAG, my fellow pre-beta
testers and of course also those who have helped in the public beta
groups. I think i can speak for all pre-beta testers when i say this was
an interesting and valuable experience for us and despite the work we had
much fun...

I think the POV Team appeciates all the congratulations they can get after all
the work they've put into this release. So, on behalf of the POV-Ray Community
on AOL (as their unpaid volunteer "leader"), I would like the thank everyone
who worked on POV-Ray 3.5, and hope to share anything that we at Keyword POV
come up with that may be of interest.
Best wishes,
Dave

Awesome!
I've played on and off in three years now (time flies), and I feel like I'm
only at the top of the iceberg :-)
Thank you POV-Ray team and everyone else in the community, for giving birth
and growing a new version of the best raytracer around!
POV-Ray is fun!
The new website looks great too! I especially like the 3d feel of the logo
in the right corner!
Keep it up!

(loud whistling, lots of applause)
I thank you all, too. From the POV-Team, to the TAG-Team, to the beta testers,
to the many end users. All of whom are:
#include "golds.inc"
#local Count=infinity; // for lack of a infinity symbol
#while (Count=infinity)
text { ttf "timrom" "Great People!", 1, 0
texture {T_Gold_4D}
}
#local Count=Count;
#end
A litle rain on the parade... because it can't all be beautiful :-)
Nearly missed out on the event today. ISP isn't connecting right for the past
couple weeks, and computer quit working a week ago. Using this old IBM Aptiva
(that crashes a lot) I had to set up again for downloading version 3.5
(hurrah!), taking an hour which I wasn't used to anymore.
Parents 50th wedding anniversary, 4th of July holiday, the visiting relatives,
about given up on my boat ever riding over the water again, all hampered things
further. Plenty of good and bad going on, way more than I'm accustomed to.
I also witnessed the inaccessible povray website, like others had, and thought
my bad luck had affected it as well. It was very good to see it hadn't gone
into oblivian, since I was beginning to think someone unplugged the server
there.
Again I say, thanks to everyone involved in Persistence of Vision Raytracer
v3.5! Back to some YKYBRTLW fun.

Nice to see v3.5 up and running - it still amazes me that a program like
POVray is freeware.
Now looking forward to getting into all the new features of 3.5 - ah, so
much more to learn and experiment with...bliss!
Though I'll still probably keep making my pyramids. I expect. Hmmm.
Thanks to the POVray development team, and thanks also to all the POVray
experts for their continuing help and advice in these newsgroups - very,
very much appreciated.

Yay! No more release candidates :) We are all very glad a group of
people would share their love of programming and 3d art by making such a
program available to the public for free. Three, no three-point-five
