+using new rayfifo calls.
+=====================
-<
+Version 4.1
->
+Version 4.1 (Released 11/04/2011)
+Changed ranimate behavior so remote login under a different user
+doesn't necessarily require the presence of the originating user's
+Altered obj2rad to ignore zero normals (thanks to Jack de Valpine for
+suggestions and help).
-+
-+
+Fixed bug in genklemsamp that caused non-uniform sampling over surfaces.
-+
-+
+Fixed bugs in rhoptimize and rhcopy for 64-bit compilation.
-+
-+
+Made a change to avoid problem using gcc --fast-math compile option.
-+
-+
+****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
-+
+Changed behavior of rtrace and rtcontrib so that every scanline is
-+
+not flushed when both -x and -y are set.  This avoids flush delays
-+
+in rtcontrib for large numbers of output files and delays while
-+
+rendering images using rtrace with the -n option.
-+
-+
+Added ability for rsensor to output ray origins and directions
-+
+rather than actually loading octree and computing sensor value.
-+
-+
+Fixed old bug in obj2rad where it would stop processing and
-+
+report a syntax error if the "void" type is used in the map file.
-+
-+
+Updated reflection model according to EGSR 2010 paper by David
-+
+Geisler-Moroder and Arne Duer.
-+
-+
+Replaced C-shell version of falsecolor with Perl script written
-+
+by Axel Jacobs.
-+
-+
+****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
-+
+Changed -sj (specular jitter) option to something called specular
-+
+sampling (-ss), which if set less than 1 has the same behavior as
-+
+the old -sj, but when set greater than 1, spawns multiple ray
-+
+samples from semi-specular surfaces.
-+
-+
+Fixed bug noticed by Randolph Fritz that caused ambient sync errors.
-+
-+
+Fixed bug in findglare for reading picture files under Windows.
-+
-+
+Added options to pvalue to note other color spaces on reverse conversion.
-+
+Thanks to Erich Philips for the feature request.
-+
-+
+Added BSDF data-driven material type with full sampling support.
-+
-+
+Added BRDF calculations to genBSDF.
-+
-+
+Bug fixes in rsensor thanks to help from David Geisler-Moroder.
-+
-+
+Added variable-resolution BSDF support in renderers and genBSDF.
-+
-+
+Created pkgBSDF program to extract BSDF geometry and put it
-+
+together with surface description suitable for inclusion in
-+
+a Radiance scene.
-+
-+
+Muted warning for "no light sources found" when there is at least
-+
+one glow object and interreflections are on (-ab > 0).
-+
-+
+Fixed long-standing bug that caused underestimation of reflection
-+
+when specular component was below -st threshold in non-metals.
-+
-+
+Checked in cross-platform cmake build system created by Bill Hoffman
-+
+of KitWare and sponsored by NREL.  This includes a qt-based
-+
+driver for rvu, which is built in the new subdirectory src/qtrvu.
-+
-+
+=====================
-+
+Version 4.2
-+
-+
+Axel Jacobs added -cp and -palettes options to falsecolor.
-+
-+
+Fixed bug in matrix output of genBSDF introduced shortly before 4.1 release.
-+
-+
+Made rvu more responsive in multi-processing mode when changing parameters.
-+
+Explicit "new" command not needed to show changes, because it goes back
-+
+to "immediate mode" once something is changed.  Processing will be slow
-+
+but response time quick until next "new" command.
-+
-+
+Fixed major bug in transmitting proxy material sampling.
-+
-+
+Patched cmake build tools (changes by Zack Galbreath).
