No problem here, so whatever the problem is, it's probably located somewhere between your computer and your internet provider. |

There is a known issue with users downstream from Telia. They are not honoring the route for our class C. This is affecting people in various parts of Scandinavia and Europe at least. Below is the message we have on povray.org regarding the issue: We've become aware that since late November some visitors in the Scandinavian region have been unable to access povray.org and its related sites via their broadband connection, but find that when using a mobile connection the site works fine. This issue affects visitors whose ISP's rely on TeliaSonera for transit or routing information (while there may be other backbone providers affected, we have not received examples other than Telia). Basically Telia are not receiving (or not accepting, we are not sure which) routing information for the network that povray.org is hosted on (203.29.75.0/24, advertised on AS6062). At this point the matter is out of our hands as it involves backbone providers and how they exchange BGP routing information. The issue has been brought to the attention of providers in both the USA (where our network is hosted) and Sweden, and we can only wait to see if or when they will resolve it. Please also note that affected visitors will probably not be able to successfully email us regarding the issue if they use their ISP-provided email accounts as these will generally use the same routing tables as used for general web browsing. Using GMail or other non-ISP-specific services ought to work. We will update this post as more information becomes available. |

Is this still an issue? |

Closed due to lack of further information. |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ POV-Ray Changelog Digest ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notes: - As of version 3.7.0.1, this branch (`release/v3.7.0`) has been detached from the main POV-Ray 3.7 development, and no longer shares updates with it. Development of this branch is now generally limited to maintaining compatibility of the 3.7.0 source code with contemporary build environments. - To view a referenced GitHub issue (#xxx), replace the leading # of the issue ID with the URL https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/issues/. For example, to read GitHub issue #58, visit: POV-Ray/povray#58 - To view a referenced flyspray bug report (FS#xxx), replace the leading FS# of the flyspray bug ID with the URL http://bugs.povray.org/. For example, to read FS#270, visit: http://bugs.povray.org/270 - To view a referenced newsgroup posting (<xxxxx@news.povray.org>), prefix the message ID with the URL http://news.povray.org/. The '<' and '>' are optional (if using a shell you may want to omit them). For example, to read <42765ef3$1@news.povray.org>, visit: http://news.povray.org/42765ef3$1@news.povray.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Detailed changelog information is available in the file `revision.txt`, which should be located in the same directory as this file is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Changes between 3.7.0.9 and 3.7.0.10 ==================================== (Note: This version has not been released in binary form, as it does not feature significant changes in functionality over the original 3.7.0 binaries, and any fixed bugs are deemed highly unlikely to actually occur in the wild.) This version constitutes a maintenance update of the POV-Ray 3.7.0 source code, focused on improving compatibility with modern OpenEXR versions. Fixed or Mitigated Bugs ----------------------- - Fix incompatibilities with OpenEXR 3 library (GitHub issue #408). (Note: Use of OpenEXR 3 may require `configure CXXFLAGS="-std=c++11" ...`) - OpenEXR handling code could conceivably report an unwarranted error when handling OpenEXR files > 2 GB on some platforms (notably Windows or 32-bit systems). - Using mosaic preview together with radiosity would cause failed assertions (and thus crashes) in debug builds. Changes between 3.7.0.8 and 3.7.0.9 =================================== (Note: This version has not been released in binary form, as it does not feature any changes in functionality over the original 3.7.0 binaries.) This version constitutes a maintenance update of the POV-Ray 3.7.0 source code, focused on improving compatibility with Mac OS and non-GNU Unix builds. Fixed or Mitigated Bugs ----------------------- - Modify `./configure` script to invoke `stat` with `-c` parameter instead of `--format` on busybox-style systems (partially fixes GitHub issue #400, "Building on postmarketOS on PinePhone"). - Eliminate uint type from platform-independent code (concludes fix of GitHub issue #400, "Building on postmarketOS on PinePhone"). - Change locations of auto-generated `config.h` and original `VERSION` file to prevent the latter or its copy from erroneously being picked up on some systems as `<version>` standard C++20 include file by libraries (notably boost thread 1.73 and later; fixes GitHub issue #403, "povray 3.7.0.8 does not build on macOS 11.0 Big Sur"). Changes between 3.7.0.7 and 3.7.0.8 =================================== (Note: This version has not been released in binary form, as it does not feature any changes in functionality over the original 3.7.0 binaries.) This version constitutes a maintenance update of the POV-Ray 3.7.0 source code, focused on improving compatibility with Mac OS builds. Fixed or Mitigated Bugs ----------------------- - Modify thread creation code to more easily address thread stack size issues in Mac OS builds (requires Boost 1.50 or later to be effective). Changes between 3.7.0.6 and 3.7.0.7 =================================== (Note: This version has not been released in binary form, as it does not feature any changes in functionality over the original 3.7.0 binaries.) This version constitutes a maintenance update of the POV-Ray 3.7.0 source code, focused on restoring compatibility with contemporary build environments. Fixed or Mitigated Bugs ----------------------- - Fix configure script failing to properly handle `.` directory in `C_INCLUDE_PATH` or `CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH` (fixes GitHub issue #342, "AX_FIX_INCORRECT_PATH is broken"). Changes between 3.7.0.5 and 3.7.0.6 =================================== (Note: This version has not been released in binary form, as it does not feature any changes in functionality over the original 3.7.0 binaries.) This version constitutes a maintenance update of the POV-Ray 3.7.0 source code, focused on restoring compatibility with contemporary build environments. Fixed or Mitigated Bugs ----------------------- - Fix configure script failing to use -lboost_system with Boost 1.66 (fixes GitHub issue #341, "macOS build failure for 3.7.0.5"). Changes between 3.7.0.4 and 3.7.0.5 =================================== (Note: This version has not been released in binary form, as it does not feature any changes in functionality over the original 3.7.0 binaries.) This version constitutes a maintenance update of the POV-Ray 3.7.0 source code, focused on restoring compatibility with contemporary build environments. Compatibility Improvements -------------------------- - Fixed compatibility with systems defining `NULL` as `0` when using `shared_ptr` from C++11 rather than boost/tr1 (GitHub issue #339). - Fixed compatibility with systems not exposing `atof` in the global namespace (reported in discussion about GitHub issue #317). - Eliminated use of `register` keyword to silence warnings with C++11 (where the keyword is deprecated) and improve compatibility with C++17 (where the keyword is disallowed). Compiler Requirements --------------------- - To compile with Boost 1.65.0 or later, a C++11-compliant compiler will be required for this and any future versions of the v3.7.0 series. Known Issues ------------ - The 3rd party libraries bundled with the POV-Ray 3.7.0 source code have not been updated for C++17 compliance; as a consequence, POV-Ray for Windows may not compile on fully C++17-compliant compilers. Changes between 3.7.0.3 and 3.7.0.4 =================================== (Note: This version has not been released in binary form, as it does not feature any changes in functionality over the original 3.7.0 binaries.) This version constitutes a maintenance update of the POV-Ray 3.7.0 source code, focused on restoring compatibility with contemporary build environments. Fixed or Mitigated Bugs ----------------------- - Fixed minor error in Unix man page. - Fixed a bug that caused build errors when trying to compile with VS 2010 without SP1. - Partially fixed incompatibility with Boost 1.65.0. Known Issues ------------ - To compile with Boost 1.65.0 or later, a C++11-compliant compiler is required. Changes between 3.7.0.2 and 3.7.0.3 =================================== (Note: This version has not been released in binary form, as it does not feature any changes in functionality over the original 3.7.0 binaries.) This version constitutes a maintenance update of the POV-Ray 3.7.0 source code, focused on restoring compatibility with contemporary build environments. Fixed or Mitigated Bugs ----------------------- - Updated OpenEXR file handling code to be compatible with GNU C++ compiler g++ 6.x (missed that code portion in 3.7.0.2). - Fixed a bug discovered in bicubic patch code that could theoretically lead to unpredictable behaviour. (To our knowledge, the official 3.7.0 Windows binaries should be safe.) Other Noteworthy ---------------- - The Windows build process is now documented in `Windows/README.md` instead of `Windows/README.html` and `Windows/README.txt`. Changes between 3.7.0.1 and 3.7.0.2 =================================== (Note: This version has not been released in binary form, as it does not feature any changes in functionality over the original 3.7.0 binaries.) This version constitutes a maintenance update of the POV-Ray 3.7.0 source code, focused on restoring compatibility with contemporary build environments. Fixed or Mitigated Bugs ----------------------- - Updated the bundled boost library to version 1.62, as the version bundled with the 3.7.0.1 source code (boost 1.59) turned out to have a bug that would have caused POV-Ray for Windows to wake the computer from sleep mode even when not currently rendering. - Updated code to be compatible with GNU C++ compiler g++ 6.x (tested with 6.3.1). Changes between 3.7.0 and 3.7.0.1 ================================= (Note: This version has not been released in binary form, as it does not feature any changes in functionality over the original 3.7.0 binaries.) This version constitutes a maintenance update of the POV-Ray 3.7.0 source code, focused on restoring compatibility with contemporary build environments. Compatibility Improvements -------------------------- - Updated the Unix build process to be compatible with modern versions of Automake. - Updated the Unix build process to automatically link the `boost_system` library if required, to be compatible with modern versions of the boost libraries. - Updated the source code to eliminate conflicts with C++11. - Updated the Unix-specific source code and build process to be compatible with Mac OS X. - Updated the bundled boost and OpenExr libraries to versions compatible with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015. - Changed the pre-compiled header files to be compatible with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015. Other Noteworthy ---------------- - Improved documentation of the Unix build process. --------------------------------- Changes between 3.7.RC7 and 3.7.0 --------------------------------- - This is the version 3.7.0 release, and mostly things are in order, however a few minor bugs have been addressed. Continued efforts towards addressing static code analysis issue's resulted in the inclusion of several high profile fixes into this release. The scene files included with the distribution have been reviewed as well. This includes version branding, deleting some older irrelevent files, and a few new additions. The windows version insert menu files were also updated and expanded. Additionally the insert menu templates are now also available in HTML for convenient use with 'cut and paste'. The distribution package has been branded with a different (AGPL3) license. - For technical reasons the Macintosh OS graphical user interface was not ready at the time of this release. However, the source code will be made available to users so they can build their own binary if the wish. Windows Related: ---------------- - moved codemax source and removed dependence on codemax header files - relocated cmedit source files - updated help file - updated keywords used for context-sensitive help - minor setup tweak - fix unquoted path in shell extension registration and added registry key backups for uninstall - updated source code readme.html - updated about box image - some tweaks related to console project and remove codemax project - removed vs8 and vs9 solutions - fixed issue with editor selection due to off-by-one line numbers. make use of SetCaretPos consistent - update about bitmap to remove explicit URL's and add support to about window code to make some areas act as hyperlinks - remove old 4BPP toolbar icons as 16-color mode support isn't really relevant anymore - rename a few files in bitmaps directory whose names were upper-case Static Code Analysis: --------------------- - CID 967264: Non-array delete for scalars - CID 967298: Resource Leak - CID 967299: Resource Leak - CID 967300: Resource Leak - CID 967301: Resource Leak - CID 967302: Resource Leak - CID 967303: Resource Leak - CID 967363: Uninitialized scalar variable - CID 967364: Uninitialized scalar variable - CID 967365: Uninitialized pointer read - Several fixes were rolled back, pending further investigation. They have been tabled for inclusion in a future release. Fixed or mitigated the following bug reports: --------------------------------------------- - http://bugs.povray.org/task/262 linux sources being compiled twice - http://bugs.povray.org/task/271 filter affects object's own brightness - http://bugs.povray.org/task/274 light source fading and subsurface - http://bugs.povray.org/task/294 splines are not thread safe - http://bugs.povray.org/task/304 for loop fails to perform last iteration - http://bugs.povray.org/task/308 heightfield computation has a regression Other Noteworthy: ----------------- - assigned licences to individual source files in the distribution tree - minor but effective changes to octree code for improved performance in radiosity-heavy scenes - minor fix to radiosity statistics (octree samples/node) - cleaned up our jpeg code to use the proper constants for the jpeglib's custom "boolean" type (we erroneously passed standard C++ bool constants instead, which could lead to compile errors on some systems) - suppressed duplicate version message and flipped version to 3.7.0 - moved some code (previously a temp fix) to the frontend where it belongs - added new include files: shapes3.inc, meshmaker.inc and makegrass.inc - a couple of (unix specific) developer and user contributed fixes - remove outdated support header files for borland, mingw and watcom compilers - add warranty disclaimer to console output - updates to unix man page ----------------------------------- Changes between 3.7.RC6 and 3.7.RC7 ----------------------------------- - This is the FINAL release candidate.

Hi,
I can't visit www.povray.org for weeks. Is there anything wrong with the organization?
