# Line 2157 | Line 2157 | Added bsdfview tool analogous to objview but for BSDF
2157   which calls bsdf2rad then rad with a few useful default views.
2158  
2159   =========================
2160 < Version 5.2
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).
# Line 2167 | Line 2167 | division of same-sized matrices.
2167  
2168   Changed falsecolor so "-s" option is adjusted to match legend if one.

2170 < Legend changes and improvements by David G-M and Stephen W.
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.
