I don't waste time to check other or Beta-Versions of Povray.
I waste time to write complex macros from scratch :)
(soooo many hours, shame on ME)

Unfortunately, I can't find any item of my personal wish list (except for
optional parameters) in the revision list of version 3.8.
These are:
- spherical heightfields
- Type-Identification
- new functions to handle strings/arrays
- Object-Oriented Programming (Classes)

https://wiki.povray.org/content/Documentation:Tutorial_Section_1#Version_3.8

Whether 3.7 or 3.8 makes little difference to me.
So I have to wait for Povray 4.0 (year 2030?) and write macros, macros, macros
......

Or I push my C++ skills and find out if I can work on the development of
Povray-Sourcode. I've already started but failed (to view/understand/compile the
source).
Next life, maybe.

Or I will try the "B-Thing".
