# 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 1946 | Line 1946 | Introduced new Hessian-based error control in irradian
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 5.0 (Released 9/18/2015)
1961 +
1962 + Changed rmtxop so it writes out same type as lesser of inputs unless
1963 + directed 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.
2015 +
2016 + Added left-hand coordinate sytems to rfluxmtx to correct
2017 + problems with coordinate axis orientations pointed out by
2018 + David Geisler-Moroder.
2019 +
2020 + Added color output to genBSDF (+C option) and support for
2021 + color rendering of Klems and tensor tree data.
2022 +
2023 + Fixed another bug in rsensor that caused rays to be generated
2024 + on opposite side of hemisphere even where sensitivity was zero.
2025 +
2026 + Fixed bug discovered by Jacob Jonsson in Klems BSDF
2027 + interpolator that caused it to over-predict normal
2028 + transmittance and reflectance.
2029 +
2030 + Added ability to read input from commands in dctimestep
2031 + and rmtxop.
2032 +
2033 + Added photon map support to rad.  Fixed some double-counting
2034 + issues in photon-mapping spotted by David Geisler-Moroder.
2035 +
2036 + Added photon map support to trad.
2037 +
2038 + Fixed bug in antimatter source testing when antimatter
2039 + definition follows potential obstructor in input.
2040 +
2041 + Fixed issue with missing character type identifier at head
2042 + of genBSDF XML output.
2043 +
2044 + Prompted by Roland S., added option to have pcompos -a order
2045 + rows from top rather than bottom of image.
2046 +
2047 + Changed dctimestep to accept matrix as well as BTDF input
2048 + in the VTDs invocation mode.  This permits the output of
2049 + rmtxop to be used in a pinch when combining multiple BTDF
2050 + layers, although interreflection between layers is not
2051 + accounted for properly as it is in the WINDOW program.
2052 +
2053 + Added Jan Wienold et al.'s evalglare to distribution.
2054 +
2055 + Hopeful fix to deadlock issue under Mac OS X 10.10.x (Yosemite).
2056 +
2057 + Fixed early exit of rcontrib with internal error (sample behind sender)
2058 + discovered by Rob G.
2059 +
2060 + =================================
2061 + Version 5.1
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.
