- Update to maintenance release 3.7.0.8
* Changes between 3.7.0.7 and 3.7.0.8
+ 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
+ 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
+ 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
+ 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).
* Changes between 3.7.0.3 and 3.7.0.4
+ Fixed minor error in Unix man page.
+ Partially fixed incompatibility with Boost 1.65.0.
* Changes between 3.7.0.2 and 3.7.0.3
+ 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.)
* Changes between 3.7.0.1 and 3.7.0.2
+ 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
+ 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.
