Unfortunately, the POV dev team has a history of breaking backwards
compatability in their revisions. Think back to how they mutilated the halo
feature of 3.0 when they introduced media in 3.1. Their goal is to force
everyone to use the latest by breaking all the old scripts.
I suspect it'll be quite a while before some of the dust settles from the
3.1 -> 3.5 change. Until then, I'm recommending that everyone stick with
3.1 and MegaPOV. FWIW, the vast majority of the new 3.5 features are
already present in MegaPOV, albeit using different syntax...

AFAIK, MegaPOV has *NOT* been updated to be compatable with POVRay 3.5.
