I have versions 3.7.0.8 and 3.8.0-alpha.10064268 installed on a machine, and
will be happy to render scenes with both and post the images.  perhaps you could
start a new thread just for posting results? (until the "website or some other
means" becomes available)

there are around 400 scene files in v3.7; how to ensure that users do not
duplicate work?  other than that, I can make a start tomorrow.

btw, regarding side-by-side, Linux users will have the (ImageMagick) 'montage'
utility which could be useful here.  a command like:

  $ montage v37img.png v38img.png -tile 1x2 -geometry +0+0 imgcmp.png

creates a single image with the v38 image below the v37; without internal
border(s).


regards, jr.
