2062  
2063   Fixed issue with vchars.mta and symbols.mta not being installed in
2064   the appropriate metafile library location, with help from Rob G.
2065 +
2066 + Added ability to give quoted strings to output= directive in rfluxmtx.
2067 +
2068 + ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
2069 + Added ability to digest color (CIE-XYZ) input in pabopto2bsdf.
2070 + This change alters the .sir (interpolant) format, so these files
2071 + will need to be regenerated.  Use the new "#colorimetry: CIE-XYZ" tag
2072 + to enable on input.
2073 +
2074 + Rewrote bsdf2klems to support tristimulus color and call wrapBSDF.
2075 + Did the same for bsdf2ttree.  Function specifications still gray only.
2076 +
2077 + Reduced a problem where rvu or rholo would be slow to quit when
2078 + run with many processes on a large model or one with a large
2079 + ambient file (taking lots of memory).  We were waiting for
2080 + processes to quit one-by-one, which takes some time for each
2081 + process as it disentangles its shared memory.  We now
2082 + wait for all the processes together, so they can disentangle
2083 + in parallel.  It can still take up to a minute in some cases,
2084 + but not 10 minutes like it was taking before the fix.
2085 +
2086 + Enabled ambient cache value corral for all levels, not just final two.
2087 + This may reduce errors in certain pathological scenes.
2088 +
2089 + Added -in option to rcalc, rlam, and total to limit the number of
2090 + input records in hopes of circumventing Windows EOF issues on binary data.
2091 + Also added -on option to rcalc and total for logical symmetry.
2092 +
2093 + Increased modifier limit to 10,000 in rcontrib.
2094 +
2095 + Fixed issues with glrad and added zoom response to mouse wheel input.
2096 +
2097 + Added missing definition of "ashik2" material type to reference manual.
2098 +
2099 + Changed genBSDF to calculate device thickness assuming Zmax==0 so
2100 + pkgBSDF will generate correct proxy geometry.
2101 +
2102 + Created pabopto2xyz tool to combine different sensor measurements
2103 + into a single CIE-XYZ measurement file for color BSDF interpolation.
2104 +
2105 + Jan Wienold updated evalglare to version 1.30
2106 +
2107 + Roland Schregle added out-of-core photon mapping routines, which
2108 + may be compiled using the PMAP_OOC macro.
2109 +
2110 + Added -a option to getinfo for easy addition of header lines.
2111 +
2112 + Fixed issue with multiple records on picture output in rcontrib (and rfluxmtx).
2113 + Credit to Sarith Subramaniam for pointing out the problem.
2114 +
2115 + Made mkillum more tolerant of non-planar polygons in its sampling routines.
2116 +
2117 + Added "-recover" option to genBSDF to pick up where it left off.
2118 +
2119 + Fixed genBSDF issue that was created incorrect normalization of
2120 + Klems output.  Thanks to David G-M and Christian Knoflach for
2121 + discovering the error.  Also improved sampling of indirect irradiance
2122 + that showed some slight bias due to poor sample collision avoidance.
2123 +
2124 + Fixed long-standing issue with -aa 0 neglecting textures in calculating
2125 + surface shading.
2126 +
2127 + Fixed bug in ranimove introduced during photon map integration.
