# Line 1826 | Line 1826 | Removed requirement for pflip -h to be given input fil
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.
1861 +
1862 + Added options to dctimestep to allow multiple time steps (-n)
1863 + and multiple output pictures or sensor files (-o).  Also added -i
1864 + option to specify float (-if) or double (-id) input for sky matrix.
1865 +
1866 + Created gendaymtx program to compute annual sky patch matrix based
1867 + on Ian Ashdown's implementation of Perez all-weather sky model.
1868 + Output can be sent directly to dctimestep in ASCII or binary stream.
1869 +
1870 + Replaced existing gendaylit.c with improved version from Wendelin Sprenger
1871 + and Jan Wienold of ISE.
1872 +
1873 + Improved accuracy of ambient calculation for large -ad settings.  Thanks
1874 + to Lars Grobe for noticing the problem.
1875 +
1876 + Added -r option to gendaymtx to rotate the sky the specified number of
1877 + degrees about the zenith as suggested by A. McNeil.
1878 +
1879 + Axel Jacobs added -pal eco color map that does a blue-red-yellow scale.
1880 +
1881 + Created bsdf2klems tool to convert from various BSDF representations to
1882 + Klems basis matrix in XML file.
1883 +
1884 + Fixed problem with inappropriate reciprocity enforcement on tensor
1885 + tree reduction in genBSDF.  (Thanks to A.McNeil for discovering issue.)
1886 +
1887 + Fixed bug in isotropic tensor tree sampling for impinging rays
1888 + exactly normal to surface.  Thanks to Peter Apian-Bennewitz for
1889 + discovering and pointing out the error.
1890 +
1891 + Fixed double-counting bug in mirror material with alternate type.
1892 + Thanks to David Geisler-Moroder for spotting the problem and helping
1893 + to fix it.
1894 +
1895 + Created rcollate program to resize and transpose matrix data for Andy
1896 + McNeil's 5-phase annual simulation method.
1897 +
1898 + Added epw2wea conversion program by Christoph Reinhart.
1899 +
1900 + Implemented Perlin's improved noise function with help from Rahul Narain.
1901 + This will change the appearance of renderings using this function.
1902 +
1903 + Added "origin" command to rvu as requested by John Mardaljevic
1904 + to place view origin at selected point in scene.
1905 +
1906 + Switch to Perl versions of objview and objpict written by Axel Jacobs.
