# Line 1214 | Line 1214 | when it was given too many modifiers.
1214  
1215   Fixed problem with rpict where it was drawing illum sources badly
1216   even when they weren't all that small in the view.
1217 +
1218 + Added in(i) function to rcalc for more flexible channel evaluation.
1219 +
1220 + Replaced all calls to vfork() with regular fork() calls.
1221 +
1222 + Fixed bug in glarendx for dgr calculation with sources behind view.
1223 +
1224 + Added -p option to histo to print percentages/percentiles r.t. counts.
1225 +
1226 + Added a source occluder cache to accelerate shadow testing.  This
1227 + can save up to 50% of the calculation time in scenes with many
1228 + light sources, especially ones containing large occluders.  This
1229 + optimization may be tuned or switched off with the -DSHADCACHE=N
1230 + compile switch, where N is the resolution of the shadow cache, or
1231 + 0 to disable it.  Since this is purely a time vs. memory trade-off,
1232 + I decided not to make it a new command-line option.  (We already
1233 + have plenty.)
1234 +
1235 + ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1236 + Changed the following command names to avoid conflicts:
1237 +        rview -> rvu (with symbolic link back to rview)
1238 +        calc -> icalc
1239 +        lam -> rlam
1240 +        gencat -> gencatenary
1241 +
1242 + Improved -f option of normpat, which caused odd color changes before.
1243 +
1244 + Created pgblur script which does fast Gaussian blur of image without changing
1245 + its dimensions.  This is very useful in certain types of image processing
1246 + calculations, such as finding or removing low frequencies.
1247 +
1248 + ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1249 + Changed little-used objpict script so that it takes scene files rather than
1250 + rpict options on the command line, and puts everything into the right
1251 + coordinate position automatically rather than requiring the user to do it.
1252 +
1253 + Added -I option to replmarks for mesh instancing.
