# 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 2211 | Line 2211 | Thanks to Lars Grobe for pointing out issues.
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.
2257 +
2258 + Increased default sampling in bsdf2klems (-n option) to 1024.
2259 +
2260 + Fixed an issue noticed by David G-M that was causing genBSDF to bias
2261 + isotropic tensor tree samples resulting in subsequent failure of
2262 + peak extraction with "aBSDF" type.
2263 +
2264 + Introduced max() and min() functions to .cal library.
2265 +
2266 + Added random incident patch sampling to bsdf2klems to improve accuracy
2267 + with scattering interpolation representation input (e.g., from
2268 + pabopto2bsdf).  The other input types already sampled incident patch area.
2269 +
2270 + Added gendaymtx -A option to compute average sky over all the input
2271 + time steps.
2272 +
2273 + Added ability to output color image from rtrace with any of -ovrx options.
2274 +
2275 + Changed rlam behavior so -iaN reads N lines from a stream rather than N
2276 + characters.  This seems more useful, since -ibN is somewhat redundant with
2277 + the old behavior.
2278 +
2279 + Created rsplit program as compliment to rlam and to handle more complex
2280 + rtrace output into separate files or streams.
2281 +
2282 + Improved getinfo so that it can also hop over resolution string with -c
2283 + and header elide mode.
2284 +
2285 + Made pvalue -u option mean "uncompressed" with -r.  Also, allow skipping
2286 + bytes on standard input.
