There is now an RSS feed on povray.org and news.povray.org.

The main site feed is

  http://www.povray.org/rss.xml.

The news server feed is a digest of postings available via

  http://news.povray.org/digest/messages/rss/

which will give you the 100 most recent messages across all groups.

For a specific group, append the group name. For example,

  http://news.povray.org/digest/messages/rss/povray.general

This is still experimental. Also note that attachments are not included.

When POV-Ray will have a non-experimental bug-free Global Illumination 
that simply works without the need to spend days/weeks tweaking it and 
learning how it works?

  The source code is there. Just implement it yourself.

Never - and FWIW the answer will be the same for a program you pay 
thousands of dollars for.

Note the POV-Ray radiosity feature has been originally created in 1996 
and has been significantly improved in MegaPOV 0.x and as such has been 
available in POV-Ray 3.5 since 2002.  So it has been available for at 
least 5 (or even 10) years for anyone to improve, fix bugs or create a 
completely new alternative solution.  And a new, better global 
illumination solution would still be extremely welcome.  But you can be 
assured that this is not an easy task because despite all shortcomings 
the POV-Ray radiosity feature is quite efficient and robust.

Christoph, who replied already, also has an excellent tutorial on his 
website which helps a great deal to take some of the guess-work out of Pov's 
radiosity feature.

I guess if you read the RSS feeds you won't miss the announcement... stay
tuned.
