# Line 1621 | Line 1621 | Additional error-checking for source surfaces.
1621   Re-fixed bug in octree code that caused it to allocate 8 times as
1622   much memory as it actually used(!) -- this was pointed out way back
1623   in 1999 by Erik Reinhard and Erik Jansen, but the fix they gave me
1624 < got lost in the slightly borken release process at the time.  This
1624 > got lost in the slightly broken release process at the time.  This
1625   should make a big difference in memory usage, especially for the
1626   new mesh primitive.  (I measured 30% less memory usage.)
1627  
# Line 1644 | Line 1644 | The only caveat is that -n setting > 1 requires -PP ra
1644  
1645   Added -c option to rtcontrib to facilitate cumulative calculations.
1646  
1647 < Added ability to incorporate LBNL Window 6 bidirectional scattering
1648 < distribution function (BSDF) data in mkillum.
1647 > ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1648 > Fixed long-standing bug in source.cal, which caused it to produce
1649 > reversed anisotropic photometric distributions due to the
1650 > misorientation of the y-axis.  Thanks to Zack Rogers for discovering
1651 > and helping debug this problem.
1652 >
1653 > Fixed long-standing bug in replmarks, where triangles with X-side
1654 > aligned with Z-axis would cause incorrect rotations.  Thanks to
1655 > Zack Rogers for finding this error.
1656 >
1657 > Added rsensor program to compute sensor signal for daylighting controls.
1658 > Funding for this component was provided by the Architectural Energy
1659 > Corporation in Boulder, CO, and directed by Zack Rogers.
1660 >
1661 > Added "planisphere" (stereographic) fisheye view type for traditional
1662 > daylighting analysis.  Feature requested & explained by Axel Jacobs.
1663 >
1664 > Modified -c option to rtcontrib so it can take a number of input
1665 > rays to average over, rather than only produce a single accumulated
1666 > record (which can now be done with -c 0).
1667 >
1668 > =====================
1669 > Version 4.0
1670 >
1671 > Added -n option to rvu to provide parallel rendering.
1672 >
1673 > ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1674 > Changed ".pic" extension to ".hdr" in all sources and documentation
1675 > to improve interoperability with other software, since this has become
1676 > the de facto extension for Radiance RGBE and XYZE pictures.  Since file
1677 > extensions were never more than a convention in Radiance, this does not
1678 > affect operation, but may require the update of scripts, etc. written
1679 > by others that assume the ".pic" suffix for Radiance output.
1680 >
1681 > Added -N option to objview to support multiprocessing.
1682 >
1683 > Improved sampling of circular sources (source, sphere, ring types) with
1684 > quite a bit of help from David Geisler-Moroder.
1685 >
1686 > Added "rpict" and "rvu" variables to rad, and made these as well as
1687 > the "oconv", "mkillum" and "pfilt" variables accept an alternate
1688 > command path in each case.  Change suggested by Lars Grobe based
1689 > on similar Radzilla (radz) facility by Carsten Bauer.
1690 >
1691 > Fixed rad -v N specification to use actual view name if one.
