# Line 1807 | Line 1807 | of KitWare and sponsored by NREL.  This includes a qt-
1807   driver for rvu, which is built in the new subdirectory src/qtrvu.

1810 < Version 4.2
1810 > Version 4.2 (Release date 7/31/2014)
1811  
1812   Axel Jacobs added -cp and -palettes options to falsecolor.
1813  
# Line 1902 | Line 1902 | This will change the appearance of renderings using th
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.
1907 +
1908 + Improved rendering speed of scenes with aliases by not entering new
1909 + modifiers into table if they are the same as the previously defined
1910 + modifier for that name.
1911 +
1912 + Made it so icalc and rcalc search RAYPATH directories for *.cal files
1913 + given on command line.  This simplifies script writing and makes these
1914 + utilities consistent with other tools in Radiance.
1915 +
1916 + Added triangulation routine to handle convex polygons in obj2mesh.
1917 +
1918 + ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1919 + Made backface visibility apply to all material types, including
1920 + transparent and translucent materials (except dielectric and interface).
1921 + This makes the option useful in cases where adjacent trans surfaces
1922 + are placed next to each other by a modeler that only understands
1923 + volumetric objects.
1924 +
1925 + Changed dctimestep so that output matrices (-n > 1) are preceded by a
1926 + header, and added support for float and double output formats with -o[fd].
1927 +
1928 + Introduced eplus_adduvf program to compute user view factors for EnergyPlus.
1929 +
1930 + Changed image-plane sampling in rpict to use Hilbert curve, which gives
1931 + less of a brushed/striped appearance to output pixels with -u- (default).
1932 +
1933 + Added ltview and ltpict Perl scripts contributed by Axel Jacobs, inspired
1934 + by Rob Guglielmetti.
1935 +
1936 + Added header variables for NROWS, NCOLS and NCOMP to help standardize
1937 + matrix files.  This functionality has been incorporated into
1938 + rcollate, gendaymtx, and dctimestep.
1939 +
1940 + Created rmtxop utility to operate on multi-component matrices.  This
1941 + facilitates some daylight matrix calculations, and provides a general
1942 + tool for manipulating matrix data.
1943 +
1944 + ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1945 + Introduced new Hessian-based error control in irradiance caching (ambient)
1946 + calculation.  Since the format of the stored ambient values is different,
1947 + the old files will be rejected with an error message and must be removed.
1948 + The programs may be compiled with the -DOLDAMB option if this is a problem.
1949 +
1950 + Added -p option to rcontrib to set function file parameters on a per-modifier
1951 + basis to simplify bin evaluation.
1952 +
1953 + Created rfluxmtx program to compute flux transfer matrices from a sender
1954 + surface to one or more receiver surfaces.  (Renamed the file klems_int.cal
1955 + to klems_full.cal in the process.)
1956 +
1957 + Added "-c" option to getinfo to execute command on data segment.
1958 +
1959 + =====================
1960 + Version 4.3
1961 +
1962 + Changed rmtxop so it writes out same type as lesser of inputs unless
1963 + direction otherwise using -f? option.
1964 +
1965 + Changed order of oconv arguments in rfluxmtx so user can specify input
1966 + octree using -i option at the end instead of (or in addition to) a
1967 + list of scene files.
1968 +
1969 + Added support for argument expansion to rfluxmtx and bug fixes.
1970 +
1971 + Fixed bug in indirect hemisphere sampling for some corner cases.
1972 +
1973 + Added default specular lobe to BSDF interpolation.
