@@ -1544,3 +1544,35 @@ Made rtcontrib flush output when handed a zero-length 
 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.
+
+Fixed bug in ranimate that caused it to fail in continuation of renderings.
+
+Renamed librt.a to librtrad.a, to avoid conflict on Solaris. Almost
+everything now gets linked to -lrtrad instead of -lrt.
+
+Fixed problem with large sample sets, so -u+ option now is truly random.
+Thanks to Rick Mistrick and Younju Yoon for identifying this problem,
+which was related to a poorly designed hash function.
+
+Changed -u+ to be the default setting in rtrace (only).
+
+Fixed binary i/o for rlam and vwrays under Windows.
