# Line 1544 | Line 1544 | Made rtcontrib flush output when handed a zero-length
1544   to match behavior of rtrace.
1545  
1546   Improved color scale for falsecolor output.
1547 +
1548 + Added threshold test for Fresnel approximation to prevent its use
1549 + on smooth surfaces with unrealistically low specularities (less than 1.8%).
1550 + Water has a specular reflectance of 2.1% at room temperture.
1551 +
1552 + Removed NICE macro settings in rpict and rtrace, which was slowing down
1553 + the processes under Mac OS X (10.4) by about 60% due to processor napping.
1554 +
1555 + Made xform, replmarks and rad2mgf handle quoted modifiers and names properly.
1556 +
1557 + Fixed problem in genblinds, where it was generating slats that were too
1558 + wide with the +/-r option.  (Thanks to Helena Buelow-Huebe for discovering
1559 + this bug.)
1560 +
1561 + Fixed bug in ra_ppm for 16-bit/sample i/o, where it was getting the byte
1562 + order wrong (apparently).
1563 +
1564 + Added -V option to rtcontrib to report actual contributions, rather than
1565 + just ray coefficients.
1566 +
1567 + Fixed bug in ranimate that caused it to fail in continuation of renderings.
1568 +
1569 + Renamed librt.a to librtrad.a, to avoid conflict on Solaris. Almost
1570 + everything now gets linked to -lrtrad instead of -lrt.
1571 +
1572 + Fixed problem with large sample sets, so -u+ option now is truly random.
