2703  
2704   Taoning Wang added genssky tool for generating spectral sky
2705   descriptions.
2706 +
2707 + Taoning added gensdaymtx utility based on gendaymtx, and
2708 + added epw2wea -a option to include required information.
2709 +
2710 + Fixed bug introduced in Auguest 2022 (5.4 release) in distant
2711 + light source sampling, which caused aiming failures.  (Thanks
2712 + to Mike DiPompeo of LightStanza for reporting the issue.)
2713 +
2714 + Added rxpict rendering tool based on C++ RpictSimulManager class.
2715 + Multi-processing and spectral output are supported.
2716 +
2717 + Added crude ability to read and convert spectra to RGB in ximage,
2718 + ra_bmp, and ra_rgbe programs.  Also updated fast tone-mapping
2719 + library to handle spectral HSR inputs at the same time.  HSR
2720 + input handling was added in a similar fashion to pcond and pvalue.
2721 +
2722 + Wrote rxpiece tool that will render pictures using tiling and
2723 + can handle different output formats and hyperspectral pictures.
2724 + Only runs on a single machine, however -- now NFS locking on
2725 + shared volumes.  Mainly a demonstration tool for RpictSimulManager
2726 + C++ class, but may have its uses.
2727 +
2728 + Fixed a bug in BSDF sampling of sources pointed out by
2729 + David Geisler-Moroder, which tended to overestimate specular
2730 + contributions for some BSDFs.
2731 +
2732 + Added handling of hyperspectral pictures to pextrem, though
2733 + results are still reported in RGB.
2734 +
2735 + Added conversion of hyperspectral pictures to ra_xyze, although
2736 + it is even slower than rcomb for this process.  It is more
2737 + accurate than most of the other tools, at least.
2738 +
2739 + Added handling of hyperspectral images to normtiff, a little-used
2740 + but handy program for quickly tone-mapping pictures and TIFFs.
2741 +
2742 + Added conversion of hyperspectral pictures to ra_ps using
2743 + approximate color method.
2744 +
2745 + Added hyperspectral picture conversion to ra_tiff, with accurate
2746 + color when targeting 16-bit/comp. or LogLuv output, and approximate
2747 + method for 24-bit RGB.
