| | | | | | Development Status (November 2024) After a long break in releases of 3.8 beta test candidates, development is resuming, though not at the pace of past releases. One impediment we have yet to overcome is code signing for the Windows platform. Currently we have no means of doing so as our previous key has expired. The difficulty is both cost and the need for flexibility in verifying us as an organization. Despite the fact that we have a company registered in Australia (Persistence of Vision Raytracer Pty. Ltd.) and it is visible on the ASIC website, it is our experience that the verification process gets hung up by the fact the company doesn't sell anything, have a street address, or have a phone number. While we do not generally sign beta releases, it is our policy that official releases for the Windows platform are expected to be signed. DKBTrace (foundation of POV-Ray) creator has kickstarter for educational IDE David K. Buck - the creator of DKBTrace, the pioneering raytracer that was the genesis of POV-Ray - has created aKickStarter campaign to fund creation of an open-source IDE for PigeonTalk (PigeonTalk is a smalltalk implementation created by David that is aimed at being a programming environment to explore computing). "I chose Smalltalk as a language because it provides the most immersive experience I've encountered. Smalltalk allows you to create, use, and explore software in a very hands-on way. It's an ideal environment for learning and playing with software.This Kickstarter project is to provide a development environment for this Smalltalk which I'm calling PigeonTalk. The development environment would run in a web browser and would communicate with the Smalltalk engine using WebSockets. Once this is available, PigeonTalk becomes a viable programming environment that others could use." We wish David the best in this endeavor and are hopeful the Kickstarter will meet its goal as POV-Ray itself would not exist if it were not for David's kind contribution of the DKBTrace source code. POV-Ray v3.8.0 beta tests available POV-Ray 3.8 is now in beta-test. You may obtain beta releases via ourGitHub repository.
