# Line 1720 | Line 1720 | Added -n option to rtrace for executing on multiple co
1720   using new rayfifo calls.
1721  
1722   =====================
1723 < Version 4.1
1723 > Version 4.1 (Released 11/04/2011)
1724  
1725   Changed ranimate behavior so remote login under a different user
1726   doesn't necessarily require the presence of the originating user's
# Line 1783 | Line 1783 | Fixed bug in findglare for reading picture files under
1783  
1784   Added options to pvalue to note other color spaces on reverse conversion.
1785   Thanks to Erich Philips for the feature request.
1786 +
1787 + Added BSDF data-driven material type with full sampling support.
1788 +
1789 + Added BRDF calculations to genBSDF.
1790 +
1791 + Bug fixes in rsensor thanks to help from David Geisler-Moroder.
1792 +
1793 + Added variable-resolution BSDF support in renderers and genBSDF.
1794 +
1795 + Created pkgBSDF program to extract BSDF geometry and put it
1796 + together with surface description suitable for inclusion in
1797 + a Radiance scene.
1798 +
1799 + Muted warning for "no light sources found" when there is at least
1800 + one glow object and interreflections are on (-ab > 0).
1801 +
1802 + Fixed long-standing bug that caused underestimation of reflection
1803 + when specular component was below -st threshold in non-metals.
1804 +
1805 + Checked in cross-platform cmake build system created by Bill Hoffman
1806 + of KitWare and sponsored by NREL.  This includes a qt-based
1807 + driver for rvu, which is built in the new subdirectory src/qtrvu.
1808 +
1809 + =====================
1810 + Version 4.2
1811 +
1812 + Axel Jacobs added -cp and -palettes options to falsecolor.
1813 +
1814 + Fixed bug in matrix output of genBSDF introduced shortly before 4.1 release.
1815 +
1816 + Made rvu more responsive in multi-processing mode when changing parameters.
1817 + Explicit "new" command not needed to show changes, because it goes back
1818 + to "immediate mode" once something is changed.  Processing will be slow
1819 + but response time quick until next "new" command.
1820 +
1821 + Fixed major bug in transmitting proxy material sampling.
1822 +
1823 + Patched cmake build tools (changes by Zack Galbreath).
1824 +
1825 + Removed requirement for pflip -h to be given input file (can pipe from stdin).
1826 +
1827 + Added "Number of processes" slider to trad "Action" pane to control rad -N
1828 + option for rvu and batch rendering.
1829 +
1830 + Added -c option to vwrays to repeat pixels for rtcontrib.
1831 +
1832 + Reworked rtcontrib program and renamed to rcontrib.  New version runs much
1833 + faster, especially on multiprocessor systems, and doesn't require as much
1834 + memory.  No longer calls rtrace; instead does all the work itself.
1835 +
1836 + Added -d option to genskyvec to produce direct-only (sun no sky) vector.
1837 +
1838 + Added Ashikhmin-Shirley anisotropic BRDF model (ashik2) with help
1839 + from Nicolas Boneel.
1840 +
1841 + Added Ruby rewrite of objview.csh by Rob Guglielmetti.
1842 +
1843 + Fixed bug in reciprocity for tensor tree BTDF representations.  Thanks
1844 + to Andy McNeil for identifying the problem.
1845 +
1846 + Added MNAME and ZNAME variables to ranimove for debugging & testing.
1847 +
1848 + Created pmblur2 command to take motion and depth buffers from ranimove
1849 + to compute a better motion blur.
1850 +
1851 + ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1852 + Changed BSDF routines to use updated/corrected XML specification and
1853 + removed depracated BSDF support from mkillum.
1854 +
1855 + Fixed behavior of i/o flushing in rcontrib with -c > 1 (averaging).  Thanks
1856 + to Lars Grobe for help identifying this problem.
1857 +
1858 + Fixed bug in depth-of-field blur where view distance was measured from
1859 + fore clipping plane rather than viewpoint.  Thanks to Peter A-B for
1860 + pointing this out.
