| 1800 | > | one glow object and interreflections are on (-ab > 0). | 
| 1801 | > |  | 
| 1802 | > | Fixed long-standing bug that caused underestimation of reflection | 
| 1803 | > | when specular component was below -st threshold in non-metals. | 
| 1804 | > |  | 
| 1805 | > | Checked in cross-platform cmake build system created by Bill Hoffman | 
| 1806 | > | of KitWare and sponsored by NREL.  This includes a qt-based |

| 1815 | > |  | 
| 1816 | > | Made rvu more responsive in multi-processing mode when changing parameters. | 
| 1817 | > | Explicit "new" command not needed to show changes, because it goes back | 
| 1818 | > | to "immediate mode" once something is changed.  Processing will be slow | 
| 1819 | > | but response time quick until next "new" command. | 
| 1820 | > |  | 
| 1821 | > | Fixed major bug in transmitting proxy material sampling. | 
| 1822 | > |  | 
| 1823 | > | Patched cmake build tools (changes by Zack Galbreath). | 
| 1824 | > |  |

| 1830 | > | Added -c option to vwrays to repeat pixels for rtcontrib. | 
| 1831 | > |  | 
| 1832 | > | Reworked rtcontrib program and renamed to rcontrib.  New version runs much | 
| 1833 | > | faster, especially on multiprocessor systems, and doesn't require as much | 
| 1834 | > | memory.  No longer calls rtrace; instead does all the work itself. | 
| 1835 | > |  | 
| 1836 | > | Added -d option to genskyvec to produce direct-only (sun no sky) vector. | 
| 1837 | > |  |

| 1850 | > |  | 
| 1851 | > | ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** |

| 1860 | > | pointing this out. | 
| 1861 | > |  | 
| 1862 | > | Added options to dctimestep to allow multiple time steps (-n) | 
| 1863 | > | and multiple output pictures or sensor files (-o).  Also added -i |

| 1865 | > |  | 
| 1866 | > | Created gendaymtx program to compute annual sky patch matrix based | 
| 1867 | > | on Ian Ashdown's implementation of Perez all-weather sky model. |
