Eliminated SPEED macro from makeall and source tree. Added -pj option to vwrays to allow jittering of sample locations. + +Fixed bug in rtcontrib where it occasionally missed writing the +final bin file. (Pretty serious, actually.) + +Added -Dfseeko=fseek to MACH= line for linux, as fseeko(3) seems to be +broken in current versions of Linux. (Need to remove this later.) + +Rearranged struct's for better efficiency on 64-bit architectures. + +Added -i option to rlam so it works with binary input formats. + +Added rtcontrib -bn option to specify number of bins and fixed bug +in recovery of files containing multiple values per record. + +Added rtcontrib -fo option to write over existing files, which it now +refuses to do without this option. + +Made rtcontrib flush output when handed a zero-length ray vector, +to match behavior of rtrace. + +Improved color scale for falsecolor output. + +Added threshold test for Fresnel approximation to prevent its use +on smooth surfaces with unrealistically low specularities (less than 1.8%). +Water has a specular reflectance of 2.1% at room temperture. + +Removed NICE macro settings in rpict and rtrace, which was slowing down +the processes under Mac OS X (10.4) by about 60% due to processor napping. + +Made xform, replmarks and rad2mgf handle quoted modifiers and names properly. + +Fixed problem in genblinds, where it was generating slats that were too +wide with the +/-r option. (Thanks to Helena Buelow-Huebe for discovering +this bug.) + +Fixed bug in ra_ppm for 16-bit/sample i/o, where it was getting the byte +order wrong (apparently). + +Added -V option to rtcontrib to report actual contributions, rather than +just ray coefficients.
