What features are new to the 1.0 version? Only the view layouts come to my mind.

I think the best solution would be to support only 3.5 in the gui and both 3.1 and 3.5 in separate import/export format plugins (or both in one plugin). The 3.1 plugin must then make additional validation of the scene to check if it is compatible with POV-Ray 3.1. You can safetly change any POV-Ray serialization code as we have still the 3.1 version in the HEAD branch. If the import/export plugin is finished, I will move all povray serialization methods into a separate plugin. Therefore the member variables can't be used directly in these methods any more. If you implement new or change existing ones, use the get* methods. Some ideas I had recently: The properties views for lathe, prism, sor and bicubic patch are quite crappy. What if the points are listed in a listbox. The control point selection and the selection in the list box would be synchronized, what means you can select and deselect control points in the properties view. IMHO that would be a great improvement. Andreas -- -------------------------------------------------- Andreas Zehender, Dipl. Ing.
