# Line 2155 | Line 2155 | which looked to be too difficult from an implementatio
2155  
2156   Added bsdfview tool analogous to objview but for BSDF files (XML and SIR),
2157   which calls bsdf2rad then rad with a few useful default views.
2158 +
2159 + =========================
2160 + Version 5.2 (Release October 8, 2018)
2161 +
2162 + Created psketch program to apply non-photorealistic rendering to selected
2163 + objects, identified by modifier name(s).
2164 +
2165 + Added '*' and '/' operations to rmtxop for element-wise multiplication and
2166 + division of same-sized matrices.
2167 +
2168 + Changed falsecolor so "-s" option is adjusted to match legend if one.
2169 +
2170 + Falsecolor legend changes and improvements by David G-M and Stephen W.
2171 +
2172 + Fixed bug in peak extraction code that generated
2173 + "Bad call to SDqueryTreProjSA" error, reported by Lars Grobe.
2174 +
2175 + Increased maximum luminance to 10^7 in pcond to fix issue noticed
2176 + by Axel Jacobs where veiling glare not added for the sun under
2177 + some conditions.
2178 +
2179 + Increased maximum number of open files in rcontrib to the system upper
2180 + limit of 2048 rather than the default 512 under Windows.
2181 +
2182 + Added top-level resources directory with files from Rob Guglielmetti.
2183 +
2184 + Improved accuracy for peaky BSDFs and small light sources.
2185 +
2186 + Fixed issue with pmapdump noted by Axel Jacobs.
2187 +
2188 + Improved accuracy of bsdf2ttree when converting scattering interpolation
2189 + representatons with strong peaks.
2190 +
2191 + Tweaked peak-extraction code to work more reliably.
2192 +
2193 + Georg Mischler updated SCons build system.
2194 +
2195 + Rob Guglielmetti and Alex Swindler updated CMake build system.
2196 +
2197 + Modified pcomb so the first view seen in the inputs is written into header.
2198 +
2199 + Wrote rtpict script to run rtrace in parallel mode and simulate rpict with
2200 + -n option.
2201 +
2202 + Added ability to move forwards/backwards specified distance in rvu "origin"
2203 + command.  Feature requested by John Mardaljevic, who essentially owns this
2204 + command, now.
2205 +
2206 + Reduced bias in ambient super-sampling method.
2207 +
2208 + Fixed bugs associated with zero transmission in chromatic tensor trees.
2209 + Thanks to Lars Grobe for pointing out issues.
2210 +
2211 + Added RAYPATH searching for -f options to genrev, gensurf, genworm,
2212 + bsdf2klems, bsdf2ttree, and pcomb.  This makes behavior consistent
2213 + with rcalc, calc, and rendering tools.
2214 +
2215 + Worked with Randolph Fritz to fix some issues with ies2rad and newer
2216 + IESNA63 standards.
2217 +
2218 + Resurrected original bsdf2rad test program, renaming it bsdf2rado. Still an
2219 + optional build in src/cv/.
2220 +
2221 + Fixed bug in rcontrib with virtual sources, where pretest was adding
2222 + to modifier accumulation buffers.  Reported by Mostapha.
2223 +
2224 + Added an "aBSDF" material type that explicitly checks for peak extraction.
2225 + Its arguments are the same as the original "BSDF" type, but without the
2226 + thickness parameter, as proxy geometry is not supported by this new type.
2227 + The old "BSDF" type no longer does peak extraction under any circumstances,
2228 + since this behavior is superfluous for proxied geometry.
2229 +
2230 + Added -r option to bsdf2rad (and bsdfview) to fix BSDF min and max range
2231 + for comparing BSDFs.
2232 +
2233 + Fixed issue with pfilt -m option and uneven image size changes pointed
2234 + out by Rob Shakespeare.
2235 +
2236 + Updates to evalglare and gendaylit from Jan Wienold, including new
2237 + colored sky option.
2238 +
2239 + =========================
2240 + Version 5.3
2241 +
2242 + Created radcompare program to compare Radiance tool output to reference outputs
2243 + during unit-testing.
2244 +
2245 + Fixed issue reading very large files (> 2 GBytes) in rcollate.
2246 +
2247 + Made picking function in rvu ignore transparent and void surfaces.
2248 +
2249 + Added -orRxX options to rtrace to enable output of mirrored and unmirrored
2250 + contributions and distances to enable new types of reprojections.  This also
2251 + cleaned up and unified handling of effective ray lengths throughout code.
2252 +
2253 + Bug fixes from Jan Wienold for evalglare.
2254 +
2255 + Changed indexed (numbered) output from dctimestep to start from 0 rather
2256 + than 1, to make it more consistent with expected input naming.
