I know POV-Ray 3.51 for Windows is a bugfix release, but will it have 
"Pause Rendering" on the right click menu of the system tray icon?

Only the POV-Gods know... but there's a message posted 3 days ago on
povray.announce.FAQ that didn't get the publicity it deserves ;-)

Because nobody reads that group it seems.  I am actually amazed how much
stuff we could write there, and how many people ask without ever even
checking that group ;-)  In fact, I was waiting if somebody would notice -
but you already knew, of course...

Sounds reasonable. I will look at it and try to simplify Chris work with
pleasing you, thought who knows how complicated it will be.

Don't wake sleeping animals,  I am still waiting for the next "let's 
start a POV 4.0 discussion" thread to be started despite that.

BTW i'd put the status report as a news item on the povray.org website.

Maybe the name of that group is a bit confusing, I mean the FAQ part. Why
not simply p.a?

Perhaps since it was never added as a menu option and lacks a keyboard
shortcut maybe that's why it wasn't readily possible to include it in the
tray icon menu.

You'd think pressing the Pause key would work but that just never seems to
do anything anymore in Windows since it's more of "a DOS thing". Of course,
inadvertantly pausing a rendering and not realizing it sounds like it was
one of the reasons it never got beyond the toolbar. Not sure about that,
just seems it was discussed in that way long ago.

	Funny, I was also looking from time to time any reaction about
this message from Chris  ;-)

	(As suggested, p.announce could be better than p.faq)

Exciting news (checks keyring). Oh well, at least I don't have to upgrade that.

Is there to be any public discussion regarding what makes it into 3.6? (I don't
have any requests myself*, but I suspect that now you've called attention to the
announcement the floodgates may open).

* well, not yet ;)
