I've prepared an updated alpha build, with these new features:

- Added new, improved realistic sky model: Hosek&Wilkie - now default
- Added "rawafake" customizable fake sky model
- Added 2D fractal map
- Added ColorMapper map
Lights
- Added alternative color selection by black body radiator temperature
- Sunlight is now a separe light, properly selectable in the viewport
Materials
- Refraction attenuation added
- Improved refractive materials ("water in glass" type of scene)
- Added ward BRDF (supporting anisotropy)
- Added textured emission (textured lights)
- Added rounded corners feature (experimental)
Misc
- Added new volume fracal - Mandelbox
- Added ~30 render channels
- Custom VFB improved (start render button, save image button, speed optimizations for high-res renders)
- Added CoronaScatter - simple & fast scattering tool
- Added optional render info bar watermarking to the image
- Added support for MDO scatter plugin
- Added override backgrounds - for direct/opacity/refraction and reflection rays, and override material
- Added contrast to color mapping
- Added white balance to color mapping
- Added CoronaProxy - simple geometric proxy object
- Added support for multiple mapping coordinates
- Added versioning to .conf files - no need to manually delete them when upgrading
Additionally, there are lots of general stability and speed upgrades (but possibly also new bugs ;)).
Attached are the builds for 3dsmax 2011 and 2012. Older builds are available on demand, build for 2013 will be available in about a month. All versions are 64bit Windows Vista/7 only. If you have older CPU (~ Core 2 quad Q6600 or older), use the version for legacy CPU, which is slower, but can run on any 64bit CPU.
The build is subject to this licence/disclaimer: http://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,19.0.html
Installation guide: http://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,2.msg2.html#msg2
You can quickly configure the renderer in a scene for production setup using the "Production defaults" button.

I've tried to make it, but they have decided to force unicode in the API, that means, that I'll have to go through the entire application and manually switch it too. I am planning to do that next month.

We already have working 2013 build for a while, but no stable yet. Next public release will certainly include 2013
version of Corona ;)
