 Fixed bug that caused incorrect reporting of non-surface in set when
 mixing meshes and instances.  (Thanks to Jack de Valpine for discovery.)

+Fixed inaccuracy in calculation of diffuse transmission in the presence
 of pure specular (Fresnel reflection) using "trans" material.  Thanks
 to Christoph Reinhart for pointing out the error.

 Fixed truly ancient bug in bounding box computation for cones, which
 could (and did) cause missing segments.
+
+Added -z option to normtiff to output LZW-compressed files.
+
+Last change to total causes it to produce results when it sees an empty
+line on the input.  This was not intentional, but I decided I like this
+behavior so I documented it rather than changing it.
+
+=====================
+Version 3.8
+
+Fixed Russian roulette ray termination, which was doing the opposite of
+what it should have been doing, resulting in overestimated values below
+minimum ray sampling weight (serious).
+
+Changed mksource to use 98th percentile (rather than 99th) for threshold.
+
+(Above changes included in 3.7.1 patch release.)
+
+Eliminated writing of EXPOSURE= line in ra_tiff -r when source TIFF
+does not have STONITS set.
+
+Fixed bug in ambient calculation that caused black values for multiple
+bounces in some scenes.  Thanks to Mark Stock for creating and sharing
+the sophisticated test scene that demonstrated this problem.
+
+Fixed bug in antimatter using Russian Roulette sampling.
+
+(Above changes included in 3.7.2 patch release 22 Aug 2005.)
+
+Created fieldcomb script to combine alternate fields in a rendering
+sequence.  (Development generously sponsored by Iebele Abel.)
+
+Added missing preload of mesh objects for more efficient memory use
+during parallel rendering -- this was a serious oversight.
+
+Created ran2tiff program to automate exposure setting of animation
+sequences using a moving histogram in combination with pcond, and
+converting frames to TIFF.
+
+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.
