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. + +Added tmCvLums() to tone-mapping routines using a 16-bit lookup table +on IEEE floats, which is also used to improve speed of COLOR conversions, +especially on machines with slow log() calls. The first call to +tmCvLums(), tmCvGrays(), or tmCvColors() initializes the table. + +Created optics2rad.csh script to convert from Optics 5 material output +to something correct for Radiance. Built on old glazing.cal function, +which is actually incorrect so removed from the distribution. + +Fixed nuisance bug in ximage under some SGI machines that caused it to +choose an inappropriate visual and display incorrect colors. (Thanks +to Oskar Itzinger for debugging the problem.)
