Changed default temporary directory from /usr/tmp, which doesn't exist on a lot of systems these days, to /tmp. + +Eliminated many unused files and programs from the distribution, including +the following programs that were being built but no longer used: + oki20 - printer driver for OkiMate 20 printer (B&W) + oki20c - printer driver for OkiMate 20 color printer + pcwarp - intended as more general substitute for macbetcal, + but never quite worked + ra_avs - convert to & from AVS image format + ra_bn - convert to & from Barneyscann format + ra_pr - convert to & from 8-bit Sun rasterfile format + ra_pr24 - convert to & from 24-bit Sun rasterfile format + thf2rad - convert GDS "things file" to Radiance scene format +If anyone is still wanting any of the above programs, let us know and we'll +reinstate it. + +Fixed bug in pcond's acuity simulation for small view angles (less than +4 degrees horizontally or vertically). Thanks to James Lee for figuring +this out. + +Added script to convert to/from ICT's Poskanzer Float Map, which I don't +care to support officially due to its machine-dependent byte order. + +Fixed bug that caused incorrect reporting of non-surface in set when +mixing meshes and instances. (Thanks to Jack de Valpine for discovery.) + +Fixed innacuracy 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. + +Made internal change to tone-mapping library to use structure pointer +rather than stack, making code re-entrant and more up to modern standards. + +Added -pd option to handle depth-of-field blur in rpict. This requires +that the view directon (-vd option) include focal distance information, +which is now preserved by the various view file routines, and reported +by the vwright command. + +Added DBLUR variable to ranimate and pmdblur script to handle simultaneous +motion and depth-of-field blurring.
