# Line 2070 | Line 2070 | Added ability to digest color (CIE-XYZ) input in pabop
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.
2128 +
2129 + Added check for steep sections of BSDF in pabopto2bsdf, creating narrower
2130 + peakes in those places and mitigating some normalization issues.
2131 +
2132 + Added view360stereo.cal by Mark Stock to handle 360-degree over/under
2133 + stereo views.
2134 +
2135 + Added MAX2SHADE macro to place limit on number of light sources
2136 + to precheck for obstructions.  (Currently set to 200.)  This
2137 + avoids excessive start-up times for scenes with many light sources.
2138 + Thanks to Axel Jacobs for pointing out the problem.
2139 +
2140 + Added -v option to obj2mesh to print out mesh statistics.
2141 +
2142 + Rewrote bsdf2rad from ground up and made it a standard part of build.
2143 +
2144 + Fixed bug in orientation of Reinhart/Tregenza sample generator in rfluxmtx.
2145 +
2146 + Added ability to perform shadow-testing through unproxied BSDFs with strong
2147 + through (direct-direct) component.
2148 +
2149 + Added {+|-}a options to genBSDF and bsdf2ttree for switching off reciprocity averaging.
