 Changed marksources() routine (src/rt/source.c) to check all

 the first.  This permits sources to be described with intervening

 Changed integer tone-mapping routines to better deal with images
 containing large, constant regions.

 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.)
+
+****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
+Changed the following command names to avoid conflicts:
+	rview -> rvu (with symbolic link back to rview)
+	calc -> icalc
+	lam -> rlam
+	gencat -> gencatenary
+
+Improved -f option of normpat, which caused odd color changes before.
+
+Created pgblur script which does fast Gaussian blur of image without changing
+its dimensions.  This is very useful in certain types of image processing
+calculations, such as finding or removing low frequencies.
+
+****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
+Changed little-used objpict script so that it takes scene files rather than
+rpict options on the command line, and puts everything into the right
+coordinate position automatically rather than requiring the user to do it.
+
+Added -I option to replmarks for mesh instancing.
+
+Made similar change for virtual sources to allow modifiers and aliases
+on the mirror and prism types to work properly.
+
+Rob Guglielmetti dded -lw and -lh options to falsecolor to control the
+legend dimensions.  Made it so -lw 0 and/or -lh 0 turns legend off.
+
+Made it so pcompos will read everything from a stream even if it doesn't
+need it, so input commands will not receive a hangup signal.
+
+Wrote ra_bmp program to convert to and from Windows BMP files (finally).
+It's the most horrible image format I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot.
+
+Increased -aa default value for all renderers (and also -ad and -as in
+rview) at Schorsch's suggestion.  I think this undid my earlier decrease
+of -aa last time, which I guess was ill-considered.
