Hi there,
I'm new to povray programming and want to do a parallel version of
povray using MPI and perhaps Multithreading. I had a short view on the
source code and I saw this POVMS/COOPERATE stuff (I do not fully
understand what its purpose is) May it be useful for me??? If so, can
anybody tell me about the main concept? All the parallel versions of
povray I have seen work oonly with version 3.1, which doesn't have this
stuff... so I can't copy :(
Thanks,
Matthias

This has been there in previous versions as well. POVMS has absolutely
nothing to do with multithreading at all. That should be fairly clear from
the source code...

Ok, you're right and I also figured out what it is...

you say that because you wrote it... I also know what it does(basically), it's
about passing messages. But just because I'm curious: for what is it
used/should it be used (it is disabled now)?
The source code doesn't tell me that...

IIRC it was partially explained in the thread 'Proposal for 4.0 ...' one month
ago in this group.

Well, it is used, just not on the platform's source code you are looking at.
All it is used for is providing an abstraction over POV-Ray text output such
that it can be better used in a GUI...

Well, I don't know from memory, but the source code archive probably also
include a document called "change35.doc", which lists all changes since
POV-Ray 3.5.alpha.1

On Unix it is called "ChangeLog"...
