1959 < =====================
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.
