This was not done before due to problems with recursion, and still, it will only continue to 256 times the original -r limit. If that isn't enough, then there's probably no hope, anyway. + +Added -l option to obj2mesh to search for material files in library +locations. + +Increased polygon vertex limit to 512 in obj2mesh and obj2rad and added +warning if this limit is exceeded. + +Added tone-mapping and monitor primary options to ra_bmp. This gives +new functionality similar to normtiff and ximage. It would be nice to +add this feature to the other ra_* programs as well... someday. + +Fixed long-standing bug in reported pixel ordering out of certain +protate commands. + +Added -p option to rcalc for "passive mode" that transmits +unrecognized input -- useful for substituting data in the +middle of a stream. + +Fixed a very obscure bug in rpict that caused a dark horizontal +line in certain cylindrical projections due to improper drawing +of the sky dome source in rt/srcdraw.c. + +Fixed problems with effective ray lenths computed for dielectric +and BRTDfunc materials. This was most evident in breakup of holodeck +views when VDISTANCE=True. + +Fixed rad so that 'scene' variable may consist only of inline commands. + +Fixed bug introduced in shadow caching routines where sources in the +middle of spheres were not illuminating properly. Thanks to Guilio +Antonutto for spotting this problem. + +Modified gensky behavior so if time is given with standard time zone +designation, any -m option is ignored. + +Added -n option to mkillum for (shared memory) parallel processing. + +Fixed long-standing bug in parallel processing code that only seemed +to manifest with the new mkillum -n option, where rtrace would +deadlock upon termination.
