# 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.
1808  
1809   =====================
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 1932 | Line 1932 | less of a brushed/striped appearance to output pixels
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.
1974 +
1975 + Set minimum number of shadow checks before direct optimization (4).
1976 +
1977 + (Above changes included in 4.2.1 patch release.)
1978 +
1979 + ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1980 + Made header input and output the default behavior for dctimestep and
1981 + genskyvec.
1982 +
1983 + ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1984 + Changed pabopto2bsdf default behavior to add 90-degree rotation
1985 + to bring pgII's definition of "up" in line with Klems axis
1986 + conventions.  Introduced a new header variable "upphi" to
1987 + control this added rotation.  Using "#upphi 90" in each
1988 + BSDF input file gets back the original behavior, where it
1989 + assumes that the up direction is 90-degrees from the X-axis.
1990 + The default value of 0 corresponds to PAB's definition of
1991 + the X-axis as being "up".
1992 +
1993 + Fixed bug in rsensor related to having many rows (altitude) and
1994 + few columns (azimuth) in sensitivity file.
1995 +
1996 + Fixed floating point round-off error in new Hessian calculation
1997 + for some sytems (Windows, primarily).
1998 +
1999 + Fixed bug in tensor tree BSDF code that caused bus error on
2000 + some systems, and may have been source of other errors as well.
2001 +
2002 + (Above changes included in 4.2.2 patch release.)
2003 +
2004 + Improved ambient extrapolation to avoid zero values.  Actual
2005 + threshold set to 5% of recorded value.
2006 +
2007 + Changed anisotropic Gaussian and Ashikhmin models so that
2008 + illegal orientation vectors are dealt with more gracefully.
2009 +
2010 + Created wrapBSDF tool and incorporated into genBSDF along
2011 + with new rfluxmtx computation.
2012 +
2013 + Initial check-in of Roland Schregle's photon map integration.
2014 + New 5.0a version designation as suggested by Andy McNeil.
