I was aware of this article, but it is more than one year old. Furthermore,
it contains the sentence:

"We hope to be able to do some of that work [on POV-Ray 4.0] in parallel
with our work on 3.5 but that may be wishful thinking."

That's why I asked about the current state of POV-Ray 4.0. From your
comment I conclude that Chris' wish hasn't been fulfilled.
