Additionally we have restored our legacy bugtracker, which tracked issues prior to moving our source code to GitHub. ![]() The POV-Wiki is now back online and is running the latest version of MediaWiki. See "The Early History of POV-Ray", "The Original Creation Message", "The Name" and "A Historic Version History" in our v3.6 documentation for more details about the early days of this project. ģ0 years ago today, on July 29 1991, the first beta of what would become POV-Ray became available in the GRAPHDEV forum on CompuServe. Discussion regarding the betas should be directed to the beta-test group in our forums. You may obtain beta releases via our GitHub repository. 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. Once this is available, PigeonTalk becomes a viable programming environment that others could use." The development environment would run in a web browser and would communicate with the Smalltalk engine using WebSockets. This Kickstarter project is to provide a development environment for this Smalltalk which I'm calling PigeonTalk. It's an ideal environment for learning and playing with software. ![]() Smalltalk allows you to create, use, and explore software in a very hands-on way. ![]() "I chose Smalltalk as a language because it provides the most immersive experience I've encountered. Buck - the creator of DKBTrace, the pioneering raytracer that was the genesis of POV-Ray - has created a KickStarter 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).
