Ok, I'll wait until the next release.
But let us know when!
(Or did I miss the last announcement?)

I hope to have more time to experiment with pmap.
(I'm currently developing a Blender interface for Radiance,
and I also want to inlcude a way to manage the pmap extension)

You seem to be rather sad about it.
I found it to be a very useful piece of software,
especially for lighting pipe and redirecting system design.
Once again, thanks for your work!
