 Fixed wrapping long in source hit test code, which would cause
 odd horizontal lines in some very long renderings.
+
+Added -f and -w options to ra_tiff to create IEEE float and 16-bit/primary
+TIFF output, respectively.  These formats are also understood on reverse
+conversion.  (16-bit/primary has been understood for some time, but not
+IEEE float.)
+
+Added -N option to rad to start multiple rendering processes in
+parallel.
+
+Fixed bug where mesh instances were not being freed, so subsequent calls
+in programs like ranimate would refer to bogus data.
+
+Added support in normtiff for floating-point and 16-bit/sample TIFF input
+files.
+
+Changed marksources() routine (src/rt/source.c) to check all
+primitives in the modifier chain for emitting types, not only
+the first.  This permits sources to be described with intervening
+modifiers before the light/illum/glow primitive.
+
+Fixed bug in xform where it was neglecting to add transform arguments
+to new mesh primitive.
+
+Added -dF and -dD options to pvalue for byte-swapped floats and
+doubles, respectively.
+
+Changed meta2tga to output correct colors.
+
+****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
+Changed local coordinate index from 32-bits to 16-bits, which requires
+that Radiance mesh files be recompiled.
+
+Changed integer tone-mapping routines to better deal with images
+containing large, constant regions.
+
+Improved interaction with rholo -o ogl driver under OS X, which was
+returning bad values from the depth buffer.
+
+Minor bug fix in ranimove where it was restarting processes when it
+didn't need to.
+
+Increased accuracy of default ambient parameters in rpict, rview, and
+rtrace.  In rad program, doubled -ar value, -ad value, and -as value,
+and decreased -aa value a bit.  Also adjusted -lr upwards and -lw
+downwards.  I should have done these things long ago, as processors
+have been getting faster and faster over the years.
+
+Fixed bug discovered by Marcus Jacobs where oconv was dumping core
+when it was given too many modifiers.
+
+Fixed problem with rpict where it was drawing illum sources badly
+even when they weren't all that small in the view.
+
+Added in(i) function to rcalc for more flexible channel evaluation.
+
+Replaced all calls to vfork() with regular fork() calls.
+
+Fixed bug in glarendx for dgr calculation with sources behind view.
+
+Added -p option to histo to print percentages/percentiles r.t. counts.
+
+Added a source occluder cache to accelerate shadow testing.  This
+can save up to 50% of the calculation time in scenes with many
+light sources, especially ones containing large occluders.  This
+optimization may be tuned or switched off with the -DSHADCACHE=N
+compile switch, where N is the resolution of the shadow cache, or
+0 to disable it.  Since this is purely a time vs. memory trade-off,
+I decided not to make it a new command-line option.  (We already
+have plenty.)
