| 1810 | > | Version 4.2 (Release date 7/31/2014) | 
| 1811 |  |  | 
| 1812 |  | Axel Jacobs added -cp and -palettes options to falsecolor. | 
| 1813 |  |  | 
| 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.) | 
| 1956 | > |  | 
| 1957 | > | Added "-c" option to getinfo to execute command on data segment. | 
| 1958 | > |  | 
| 1959 | > | ===================== | 
| 1960 | > | Version 5.0 | 
| 1961 | > |  | 
| 1962 | > | Changed rmtxop so it writes out same type as lesser of inputs unless | 
| 1963 | > | directed otherwise using -f? option. | 
| 1964 | > |  | 
| 1965 | > | Changed order of oconv arguments in rfluxmtx so user can specify input | 
| 1966 | > | octree using -i option at the end instead of (or in addition to) a | 
| 1967 | > | list of scene files. | 
| 1968 | > |  | 
| 1969 | > | Added support for argument expansion to rfluxmtx and bug fixes. | 
| 1970 | > |  | 
| 1971 | > | Fixed bug in indirect hemisphere sampling for some corner cases. | 
| 1972 | > |  | 
| 1973 | > | Added default specular lobe to BSDF interpolation. | 
| 1974 | > |  | 
| 1975 | > | Set minimum number of shadow checks before direct optimization (4). | 
| 1976 | > |  | 
| 1977 | > | (Above changes included in 4.2.1 patch release.) | 
| 1978 | > |  | 
| 1979 | > | ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** | 
| 1980 | > | Made header input and output the default behavior for dctimestep and | 
| 1981 | > | genskyvec. | 
| 1982 | > |  | 
| 1983 | > | ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** | 
| 1984 | > | Changed pabopto2bsdf default behavior to add 90-degree rotation | 
| 1985 | > | to bring pgII's definition of "up" in line with Klems axis | 
| 1986 | > | conventions.  Introduced a new header variable "upphi" to | 
| 1987 | > | control this added rotation.  Using "#upphi 90" in each | 
| 1988 | > | BSDF input file gets back the original behavior, where it | 
| 1989 | > | assumes that the up direction is 90-degrees from the X-axis. | 
| 1990 | > | The default value of 0 corresponds to PAB's definition of | 
| 1991 | > | the X-axis as being "up". | 
| 1992 | > |  | 
| 1993 | > | Fixed bug in rsensor related to having many rows (altitude) and | 
| 1994 | > | few columns (azimuth) in sensitivity file. | 
| 1995 | > |  | 
| 1996 | > | Fixed floating point round-off error in new Hessian calculation | 
| 1997 | > | for some sytems (Windows, primarily). | 
| 1998 | > |  | 
| 1999 | > | Fixed bug in tensor tree BSDF code that caused bus error on | 
| 2000 | > | some systems, and may have been source of other errors as well. | 
| 2001 | > |  | 
| 2002 | > | (Above changes included in 4.2.2 patch release.) | 
| 2003 | > |  | 
| 2004 | > | Improved ambient extrapolation to avoid zero values.  Actual | 
| 2005 | > | threshold set to 5% of recorded value. | 
| 2006 | > |  | 
| 2007 | > | Changed anisotropic Gaussian and Ashikhmin models so that | 
| 2008 | > | illegal orientation vectors are dealt with more gracefully. | 
| 2009 | > |  | 
| 2010 | > | Created wrapBSDF tool and incorporated into genBSDF along | 
| 2011 | > | with new rfluxmtx computation. | 
| 2012 | > |  | 
| 2013 | > | Initial check-in of Roland Schregle's photon map integration. | 
| 2014 | > | New 5.0a version designation as suggested by Andy McNeil. | 
| 2015 | > |  | 
| 2016 | > | Added left-hand coordinate sytems to rfluxmtx to correct | 
| 2017 | > | problems with coordinate axis orientations pointed out by | 
| 2018 | > | David Geisler-Moroder. | 
| 2019 | > |  | 
| 2020 | > | Added color output to genBSDF (+C option) and support for | 
| 2021 | > | color rendering of Klems and tensor tree data. | 
| 2022 | > |  | 
| 2023 | > | Fixed another bug in rsensor that caused rays to be generated | 
| 2024 | > | on opposite side of hemisphere even where sensitivity was zero. | 
| 2025 | > |  | 
| 2026 | > | Fixed bug discovered by Jacob Jonsson in Klems BSDF | 
| 2027 | > | interpolator that caused it to over-predict normal | 
| 2028 | > | transmittance and reflectance. | 
| 2029 | > |  | 
| 2030 | > | Added ability to read input from commands in dctimestep | 
| 2031 | > | and rmtxop. | 
| 2032 | > |  | 
| 2033 | > | Added photon map support to rad.  Fixed some double-counting | 
| 2034 | > | issues in photon-mapping spotted by David Geisler-Moroder. |
