# Line 1495 | Line 1495 | Fixed Russian roulette ray termination, which was doin
1495   what it should have been doing, resulting in overestimated values below
1496   minimum ray sampling weight (serious).
1497  
1498 < Changed mksource to use 98th percentile (rather than 99th) for threshold
1498 > Changed mksource to use 98th percentile (rather than 99th) for threshold.
1499 >
1500 > (Above changes included in 3.7.1 patch release.)
1501 >
1502 > Eliminated writing of EXPOSURE= line in ra_tiff -r when source TIFF
1503 > does not have STONITS set.
1504 >
1505 > Fixed bug in ambient calculation that caused black values for multiple
1506 > bounces in some scenes.  Thanks to Mark Stock for creating and sharing
1507 > the sophisticated test scene that demonstrated this problem.
1508 >
1509 > Fixed bug in antimatter using Russian Roulette sampling.
1510 >
1511 > (Above changes included in 3.7.2 patch release 22 Aug 2005.)
1512 >
1513 > Created fieldcomb script to combine alternate fields in a rendering
1514 > sequence.  (Development generously sponsored by Iebele Abel.)
1515 >
1516 > Added missing preload of mesh objects for more efficient memory use
1517 > during parallel rendering -- this was a serious oversight.
1518 >
1519 > Created ran2tiff program to automate exposure setting of animation
1520 > sequences using a moving histogram in combination with pcond, and
1521 > converting frames to TIFF.
1522 >
1523 > Eliminated SPEED macro from makeall and source tree.
1524 >
1525 > Added -pj option to vwrays to allow jittering of sample locations.
1526 >
1527 > Fixed bug in rtcontrib where it occasionally missed writing the
1528 > final bin file.  (Pretty serious, actually.)
1529 >
1530 > Added -Dfseeko=fseek to MACH= line for linux, as fseeko(3) seems to be
1531 > broken in current versions of Linux.  (Need to remove this later.)
1532 >
1533 > Rearranged struct's for better efficiency on 64-bit architectures.
1534 >
1535 > Added -i option to rlam so it works with binary input formats.
