# Line 1876 | Line 1876 | to Lars Grobe for noticing the problem.
1876   Added -r option to gendaymtx to rotate the sky the specified number of
1877   degrees about the zenith as suggested by A. McNeil.
1878  
1879 < Axel Jacobs added -pal eco color map that does a blue-to-yellow range.
1879 > Axel Jacobs added -pal eco color map that does a blue-red-yellow scale.
1880 >
1881 > Created bsdf2klems tool to convert from various BSDF representations to
1882 > Klems basis matrix in XML file.
1883 >
1884 > Fixed problem with inappropriate reciprocity enforcement on tensor
1885 > tree reduction in genBSDF.  (Thanks to A.McNeil for discovering issue.)
1886 >
1887 > Fixed bug in isotropic tensor tree sampling for impinging rays
1888 > exactly normal to surface.  Thanks to Peter Apian-Bennewitz for
1889 > discovering and pointing out the error.
1890 >
1891 > Fixed double-counting bug in mirror material with alternate type.
1892 > Thanks to David Geisler-Moroder for spotting the problem and helping
1893 > to fix it.
1894 >
1895 > Created rcollate program to resize and transpose matrix data for Andy
1896 > McNeil's 5-phase annual simulation method.
1897 >
1898 > Added epw2wea conversion program by Christoph Reinhart.
1899 >
1900 > Implemented Perlin's improved noise function with help from Rahul Narain.
1901 > This will change the appearance of renderings using this function.
1902 >
1903 > Added "origin" command to rvu as requested by John Mardaljevic
1904 > to place view origin at selected point in scene.
1905 >
1906 > Switch to Perl versions of objview and objpict written by Axel Jacobs.
1907 >
1908 > Improved rendering speed of scenes with aliases by not entering new
1909 > modifiers into table if they are the same as the previously defined
1910 > modifier for that name.
1911 >
1912 > Made it so icalc and rcalc search RAYPATH directories for *.cal files
1913 > given on command line.  This simplifies script writing and makes these
1914 > utilities consistent with other tools in Radiance.
1915 >
1916 > Added triangulation routine to handle convex polygons in obj2mesh.
1917 >
1918 > ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1919 > Made backface visibility apply to all material types, including
1920 > transparent and translucent materials (except dielectric and interface).
1921 > This makes the option useful in cases where adjacent trans surfaces
1922 > are placed next to each other by a modeler that only understands
1923 > volumetric objects.
1924 >
1925 > Changed dctimestep so that output matrices (-n > 1) are preceded by a
1926 > header, and added support for float and double output formats with -o[fd].
1927 >
1928 > Introduced eplus_adduvf program to compute user view factors for EnergyPlus.
1929 >
1930 > Changed image-plane sampling in rpict to use Hilbert curve, which gives
1931 > less of a brushed/striped appearance to output pixels with -u- (default).
1932 >
1933 > Added ltview and ltpict Perl scripts contributed by Axel Jacobs, inspired
1934 > by Rob Guglielmetti.
1935 >
1936 > Added header variables for NROWS, NCOLS and NCOMP to help standardize
1937 > matrix files.  This functionality has been incorporated into
1938 > rcollate, gendaymtx, and dctimestep.
1939 >
1940 > Created rmtxop utility to operate on multi-component matrices.  This
1941 > facilitates some daylight matrix calculations, and provides a general
1942 > tool for manipulating matrix data.
1943 >
1944 > ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1945 > Introduced new Hessian-based error control in irradiance caching (ambient)
1946 > calculation.  Since the format of the stored ambient values is different,
1947 > the old files will be rejected with an error message and must be removed.
1948 > The programs may be compiled with the -DOLDAMB option if this is a problem.
1949 >
1950 > Added -p option to rcontrib to set function file parameters on a per-modifier
1951 > basis to simplify bin evaluation.
1952 >
1953 > Created rfluxmtx program to compute flux transfer matrices from a sender
1954 > surface to one or more receiver surfaces.  (Renamed the file klems_int.cal
1955 > to klems_full.cal in the process.)
