# Line 2073 | Line 2073 | 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.
