# Line 2504 | Line 2504 | sanity checks.
2504  
2505   Added -O option to pvalue and pextrem to report watts/sr/m^2 even if
2506   picture is XYZE.
2507 +
2508 + Made subtle changes to header i/o routines to preserve alignment in
2509 + binary file formats to enable memory-mapping.  Implemented memory-mapped
2510 + matrix loading in rmtxop for binary double files.
2511 +
2512 + Removed ambient value sorting, which was written when ambient caches
2513 + could overwhelm available memory.  This is rarely the case these days,
2514 + and the added code complexity and updating of cache values with LRU
2515 + counts dirties pages that would otherwise remain clean, so it was
2516 + often a loss even when VM was an issue.
2517 +
2518 + Added iso2klems script to compute a Klems BSDF based on specular
2519 + and diffuse measurements as a function of incident angle.
2520 +
2521 + Fixed issue with over-counting diffuse component during aBSDF
2522 + peak extraction.
2523 +
2524 + Added dctimestep -x and -y options to specify image dimensions
2525 + for multiple outputs corresponding to result vectors.
2526 +
2527 + Added -P option to rcalc to pass formatted input when cond is <= 0.
2528 +
2529 + Created rcrop utility for cropping matrices and pictures more
2530 + conveniently, correcting view information.  Expect it to be handy
2531 + for extracting rows and columns from matrices, mostly.
2532 +
2533 + Changed pcomb so -o option elides original exposure values
2534 + from indented source headers.
2535 +
2536 + Added getinfo -r option, which is similar to -a except it will
2537 + replace indicated lines with new ones.
2538 +
2539 + Slight change to vwrays -d option to not spit out "-ld-", and to
2540 + produce "-ld+" without requiring input picture as argument.
2541 +
2542 + Added automatic overture calculation to rtpict with -n > 1 if
2543 + ambient cache is on and file is named.  If straight image output
2544 + is requested, we randomize all samples and avoid cache collisions.
2545 +
2546 + Added cnt -s option to shuffle output.
2547 +
2548 + Fixed issue with divide-by-zero errors in the ambient super-sampling
2549 + routine discovered by Jon Sargent of Solemma.  This affected regions
2550 + that had zero radiance, such as black backgrounds or unlit areas
2551 + with -av 0 0 0, when super-sampling was effectively disabled, causing
2552 + some loss in accuracy of the results.
