2060   =================================
2061 < Version 5.1
2061 > Version 5.1 (Released 8/17/2017)
2062 >
2063 > Fixed issue with vchars.mta and symbols.mta not being installed in
2064 > the appropriate metafile library location, with help from Rob G.
2065 >
2066 > Added ability to give quoted strings to output= directive in rfluxmtx.
2067 >
2068 > ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
2069 > Added ability to digest color (CIE-XYZ) input in pabopto2bsdf.
2070 > This change alters the .sir (interpolant) format, so these files
2071 > will need to be regenerated.  Use the new "#colorimetry: CIE-XYZ" tag
2072 > to enable on input.
2073 >
2074 > Rewrote bsdf2klems to support tristimulus color and call wrapBSDF.
2075 > Did the same for bsdf2ttree.  Function specifications still gray only.
2076 >
2077 > Reduced a problem where rvu or rholo would be slow to quit when
2078 > run with many processes on a large model or one with a large
2079 > ambient file (taking lots of memory).  We were waiting for
2080 > processes to quit one-by-one, which takes some time for each
2081 > process as it disentangles its shared memory.  We now
2082 > wait for all the processes together, so they can disentangle
2083 > in parallel.  It can still take up to a minute in some cases,
2084 > but not 10 minutes like it was taking before the fix.
2085 >
2086 > Enabled ambient cache value corral for all levels, not just final two.
2087 > This may reduce errors in certain pathological scenes.
2088 >
2089 > Added -in option to rcalc, rlam, and total to limit the number of
2090 > input records in hopes of circumventing Windows EOF issues on binary data.
2091 > Also added -on option to rcalc and total for logical symmetry.
2092 >
2093 > Increased modifier limit to 10,000 in rcontrib.
2094 >
2095 > Fixed issues with glrad and added zoom response to mouse wheel input.
2096 >
2097 > Added missing definition of "ashik2" material type to reference manual.
2098 >
2099 > Changed genBSDF to calculate device thickness assuming Zmax==0 so
2100 > pkgBSDF will generate correct proxy geometry.
2101 >
2102 > Created pabopto2xyz tool to combine different sensor measurements
2103 > into a single CIE-XYZ measurement file for color BSDF interpolation.
2104 >
2105 > Jan Wienold updated evalglare to version 1.30
2106 >
2107 > Roland Schregle added out-of-core photon mapping routines, which
2108 > may be compiled using the PMAP_OOC macro.
2109 >
2110 > Added -a option to getinfo for easy addition of header lines.
2111 >
2112 > Fixed issue with multiple records on picture output in rcontrib (and rfluxmtx).
2113 > Credit to Sarith Subramaniam for pointing out the problem.
2114 >
2115 > Made mkillum more tolerant of non-planar polygons in its sampling routines.
2116 >
2117 > Added "-recover" option to genBSDF to pick up where it left off.
2118 >
2119 > Fixed genBSDF issue that was created incorrect normalization of
2120 > Klems output.  Thanks to David G-M and Christian Knoflach for
2121 > discovering the error.  Also improved sampling of indirect irradiance
2122 > that showed some slight bias due to poor sample collision avoidance.
2123 >
2124 > Fixed long-standing issue with -aa 0 neglecting textures in calculating
2125 > surface shading.
2126 >
2127 > Fixed bug in ranimove introduced during photon map integration.
2128 >
2129 > Added check for steep sections of BSDF in pabopto2bsdf, creating narrower
2130 > peakes in those places and mitigating some normalization issues.
2131 >
2132 > Added view360stereo.cal by Mark Stock to handle 360-degree over/under
2133 > stereo views.
2134 >
2135 > Added MAX2SHADE macro to place limit on number of light sources
2136 > to precheck for obstructions.  (Currently set to 200.)  This
2137 > avoids excessive start-up times for scenes with many light sources.
2138 > Thanks to Axel Jacobs for pointing out the problem.
2139 >
2140 > Added -v option to obj2mesh to print out mesh statistics.
2141 >
2142 > Rewrote bsdf2rad from ground up and made it a standard part of build.
2143 >
2144 > Fixed bug in orientation of Reinhart/Tregenza sample generator in rfluxmtx.
2145 >
2146 > Added ability to perform shadow-testing through unproxied BSDFs with strong
2147 > through (direct-direct) component.
2148 >
2149 > Added {+|-}a options to genBSDF and bsdf2ttree for switching off reciprocity
2150 > averaging.
2151 >
2152 > Added bias to see through BTDFs with a strong "through" component
2153 > rather than scattering view rays.  This is in lieu of peak extraction,
2154 > which looked to be too difficult from an implementation standpoint.
2155 >
2156 > Added bsdfview tool analogous to objview but for BSDF files (XML and SIR),
2157 > which calls bsdf2rad then rad with a few useful default views.
2158 >
2159 > =========================
2160 > Version 5.2
2161 >
2162 > Created psketch program to apply non-photorealistic rendering to selected
2163 > objects, identified by modifier name(s).
2164 >
2165 > Added '*' and '/' operations to rmtxop for element-wise multiplication and
2166 > division of same-sized matrices.
2167 >
2168 > Changed falsecolor so "-s" option is adjusted to match legend if one.
2169 >
2170 > Legend changes and improvements by David G-M and Stephen W.
2171 >
2172 > Fixed bug in peak extraction code that generated
2173 > "Bad call to SDqueryTreProjSA" error, reported by Lars Grobe.
