# Line 1190 | Line 1190 | doubles, respectively.
1190  
1191   Changed meta2tga to output correct colors.
1192  
1193 ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1193   Changed local coordinate index from 32-bits to 16-bits, which requires
1194 < that Radiance mesh files be recompiled.
1194 > that Radiance mesh files be recompiled.  (Later decided against this
1195 > change, as it caused problems with some models.)
1196 >
1197 > Changed integer tone-mapping routines to better deal with images
1198 > containing large, constant regions.
1199 >
1200 > Improved interaction with rholo -o ogl driver under OS X, which was
1201 > returning bad values from the depth buffer.
1202 >
1203 > Minor bug fix in ranimove where it was restarting processes when it
1204 > didn't need to.
1205 >
1206 > Increased accuracy of default ambient parameters in rpict, rview, and
1207 > rtrace.  In rad program, doubled -ar value, -ad value, and -as value,
1208 > and decreased -aa value a bit.  Also adjusted -lr upwards and -lw
1209 > downwards.  I should have done these things long ago, as processors
1210 > have been getting faster and faster over the years.
1211 >
1212 > Fixed bug discovered by Marcus Jacobs where oconv was dumping core
1213 > 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.
