Hello,
As you may have noticed or read in these newsgroups, the official POV-Ray
Mac 3.1g had a small bug displaying the beta timeout notice also 3.1g was of
course _not_ a beta version. We have fixed this bug and 3.1g.r1 is now up
for both 68K and PPC.
Additionally, the PPC version has a new feature called "memory cache" which
may speed up rendering significantly. It is not explained in the
documentation, but you can now find some details at
<http://mac.povray.org/help_info.html>.
For all those who do not want to upload the whole archive again, in the
download section of the POV-Ray Mac page
<http://mac.povray.org/download.html> you will also find archives with the
3.1g.r1 application only.
The source code has also been updated slightly (to support the changed
application preference format), but the memory cache code is not included
yet.

Hmm, I seem to be the only one who is having trouble with the new cache
feature. It doesn't show up in the preferences(Application:General, or
anywhere else) and it doesn't show up in the render statistics. I have
downloaded the full r1 and also tried the update to r1. It is as if the
cache feature simply isn't there.
BTW, I am using a Power Mac G3 with OS 8.6.

Are you sure you have 3.1g.r1? There is no way this can disappear. You are
using the PPC version, aren't you? It is _only_ in the PPC version!

I downloaded it twice, and it says in the status window and the about
box that it is version 3.1g.r1. The name of the program in both archives
was POV-Ray PPC.

Hmm, sorry, I have no idea what is wrong. Nobody has reported such a
problem.

Your message has been in my head all this week. Today I downloaded the new
version from
http://mac.povray.org/archives/povpmac_update.hqx
and again I had no problem. Yesterday I thought that you could have a
troubles with proxies but today I'm sure that's not be the problem.
Sorry, I didn't help. Alberto.

I downloaded it again, installed, tried skyvase.pov, and...it still
doesn't work. No sign of the memory cache. Has this version been tested
under OS 8.6? I don't see how that could be a problem, though.

Actually, it has been developed under 8.6 which I am running all the time
:-)

Well, as far I can see it's the only difference between our systems. I
have
a Power Mac G3 with OS 8.1.

Well, I looked at the resource fork with ResEdit, and failed to find any
sign of the memory cache. It is as if my version is a modified earlier
version with a different version number(3.1g.r1).(of course, I may
easily have just overlooked it...) Oh, well, I guess I will just wait
until the source is released or until 3.5. :-(

There never was one (on the povray.org server). The memory cache settings
can be found in the DITL resource 2100. If it is not in there, perhaps you
can e-mail me your POV-Ray application (to fro### [at] charliecnsiitedu
please).

You are completely right. There is a wrong PPC 3.1g.r1 version up. Three
days after I had uploaded the PPC version _with_ memory cache, Eduard
uploaded the 68K 3.1g.r1 version and "new" PPC 3.1g.r1 archives due to a
misunderstanding. Now we have a total mess, of course. Sorry!!! There will
be the original, right PPC 3.1g.r1 up in a few days.

The easiest way would probably be to look under Application
preferences:General, if there is a control for the cache, then you have
the right version.

That is correct.
The fixed update archive is up now at mac.povray.org.

I'm very sorry but when I wrote that I had no problem when downloading pov-ray
what I really did was to download the file and to check the version using the
Get Info (finder file menu). I didn't run the application. So my message wasn't
exact, on the contrary, it was confusing. Sorry again
