 Added DBLUR variable to ranimate and pmdblur script to handle simultaneous
-motion and depth-of-field blurring.
+motion and depth-of-field blurring.  Thanks to Visarc for funding this work.
 
 Added setting of focus distance in rvu ("focus" command) and rholo
 ('f'/"frame" command).
+
+Changed default remote shell in ranimate to "ssh" rather than "rsh",
+which has been abandoned on most Unix systems due to security issues.
+
+Fixed behavior of source primitive using illum with no alternate
+material.  These now become transparent so one can see the sky or
+light-probe background for use in image-based lighting.  Previously,
+the user needed to specify the background glow as the alternate
+material for a distant illum source to behave properly.  (This still
+works.)
+
+Fixed some minor problems and inconsistencies with 16-bit/channel
+TIFF i/o in ra_tiff.
+
+Created mksource program to generate distant sources for improved
+image-based lighting with light probes.
+
+Changed ambient calculation so that -ad will not limit recursion
+depth, and a minimum of 27 samples will be sent out for each stored
+ambient value, or 3 samples if -aa is 0 (caching off).
+
+Added -oM option to rtrace to report material (rather than modifier)
+for cases where actual material is aliased or further up modifier chain.
