Mapped shadows not cast through glass

Hello,

I'm trying to do an interior render with soft (mapped) shadows that are cast through windows.

But there are no cast shadows rendered where the light pass through the glass.

You can see the attached file below - I had to remove all the glass from windows to have shadows inside.

But I still need to have glass walls inside that stop the shadows, so it doesn't realy solve my problem.

The strange think is that first everything was working just fine (see mapped-shadow-2.jpg with glass in the windows).

I also found the post below about that bug. But it is the only reference I found and it is quite old. Cited post :

(Renderworks can achieve soft shadows of low quality and no editability of softness... and there is a bug that prevents soft shadows when transparency is on)

The shadow mapping bugs (shadow map detail not working and transparency having to be turned off) will be fixed in the next major release.

Any help about this issue would be very welcomed.

I'm using Renderworks 2009. I'm quite new to it.

Thanks!
