Posted by michael on from the hamster-havoc dept.

ehmdjii writes "After a long betatesting-phase the POV-Ray team just released version 3.6 of the popular opensource raytracer. It's been two years since the last version and many bugs have been fixed as well as some changes in the render core. This release concentrates on stability and providing a framework for future re-implementations."

    Ahh, I love geek-speak.

    This release concentrates on stability and providing a framework for future re-implementations.

    Translation:

    We know this shit is kind of broken, but we've cleaned it up best we can; here, we've tried to make sense of it; could someone who knows what they're doing maybe come in and rewrite it for us?

    ;-) (I'm just teasing, of course! :-) POVRay is one of the best rendering systems out there, free or not.)
