# Line 1140 | Line 1140 | of recursive routines using sets to avoid overrunning
1140   the stack limit.
1141  
1142   ==============================
1143 < Version 3.6
1143 > Version 3.6 (Released 10/21/04)
1144  
1145   Modified 4-byte RGBE encoding routine to avoid problems
1146   when one or two primary values is negative and the other(s)
# Line 1343 | Line 1343 | Fixed bug in rcalc where it sometimes wasn't parsing t
1343   correctly.
1344  
1345   =====================
1346 < Version 3.7
1346 > Version 3.7 (Released 7/25/05)
1347  
1348   Fixed bug in source occluder cache which caused consistency error
1349   for distant sources and mist materials.  (Thanks to Mark Stock for
# Line 1489 | Line 1489 | line on the input.  This was not intentional, but I de
1489   behavior so I documented it rather than changing it.
1490  
1491   =====================
1492 < Version 3.8
1492 > Version 3.8 (Released 10/17/06)
1493  
1494   Fixed Russian roulette ray termination, which was doing the opposite of
1495   what it should have been doing, resulting in overestimated values below
# Line 1609 | Line 1609 | not being accounted for properly.
1609   Added -h option to pcompos and pcomb to eliminate verbose headers.
1610  
1611   =====================
1612 < Version 3.9
1612 > Version 3.9 (Released 3/30/08)
1613  
1614   Added -spec option to falsecolor to restore original spectral color scale.
1615   Also added "-s auto" option to automatically set the maximum value.
# Line 1666 | Line 1666 | rays to average over, rather than only produce a singl
1666   record (which can now be done with -c 0).
1667  
1668   =====================
1669 < Version 4.0
1669 > Version 4.0 (Released 3/12/10)
1670  
1671   Added -n option to rvu to provide parallel rendering.
1672  
# Line 1706 | Line 1706 | be added to Radiance.  Hopefully, others will follow.
1706  
1707   Added klems_int.cal file to compute Klems bins for windows.
1708  
1709 < Created gentregvec utility to sample a particular sky and
1709 > Created genskyvec  utility to sample a particular sky and
1710   evaluate average radiance over the standard Tregenza sky patches.
1711  
1712   Created dctimestep program to compute a set of sensor values or
# Line 1717 | Line 1717 | Created src/rt/rayfifo.c for first-in/first-out handli
1717   multiprocessing by raypcalls.c.
1718  
1719   Added -n option to rtrace for executing on multiple cores
1720 < using new rayfifo calls.  Does not currently work with -I.
1720 > using new rayfifo calls.
1721 >
1722 > =====================
1723 > Version 4.1
1724 >
1725 > Changed ranimate behavior so remote login under a different user
1726 > doesn't necessarily require the presence of the originating user's
1727 > home directory.
1728 >
1729 > Changed standard transmission function normalization back to what
1730 > it was in version 3.5, following recommendation of David Geisler-Moroder,
1731 > who pointed out that the revised BTDF increased too much at grazing.
1732 >
1733 > Changed rad behavior with -N >1 on single view to call rpiece.
1734 >
1735 > Updated SCons build system for MINGW compilation, thanks to Christian
1736 > Kohler.
1737 >
1738 > Added -u option to rlam for unbuffered output.
1739 >
1740 > Modified dctimestep to accept sky vector and daylight coefficient matrix
1741 > or list of images to sum together, as suggested by Andy McNeil.
1742 >
1743 > Created genBSDF script to generate BSDF in Windows XML format.
1744 >
1745 > Modified mkillum to accept detailed geometry from BSDF XML files.
1746 >
1747 > Altered obj2rad to ignore zero normals (thanks to Jack de Valpine for
1748 > suggestions and help).
1749 >
1750 > Fixed bug in genklemsamp that caused non-uniform sampling over surfaces.
1751 >
1752 > Fied bugs in rhoptimize and rhcopy for 64-bit compilation.
1753 >
1754 > Made change to avoid problem using gcc --fast-math compile option.
1755 >
1756 > ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1757 > Changed behavior of rtrace and rtcontrib so that every scanline is
1758 > not flushed when both -x and -y are set.  This avoids flush delays
1759 > in rtcontrib for large numbers of output files and delays while
1760 > rendering images using rtrace with the -n option.
1761 >
1762 > Added ability for rsensor to output ray origins and directions
1763 > rather than actually loading octree and computing sensor value.
1764 >
1765 > Fixed old bug in obj2rad where it would stop processing and
1766 > report a syntax error if the "void" type is used in the map file.
