Added support in normtiff for floating-point and 16-bit/sample TIFF input |

Changed marksources() routine (src/rt/source.c) to check all |

primitives in the modifier chain for emitting types, not only |

the first. This permits sources to be described with intervening |

Minor bug fix in ranimove where it was restarting processes when it |

Increased accuracy of default ambient parameters in rpict, rview, and |

rtrace. In rad program, doubled -ar value, -ad value, and -as value, |

Added -p option to histo to print percentages/percentiles r.t. counts. |

Added a source occluder cache to accelerate shadow testing. This |

Improved -f option of normpat, which caused odd color changes before. |
| 1244 |

Created pgblur script which does fast Gaussian blur of image without changing |

Changed little-used objpict script so that it takes scene files rather than |

rpict options on the command line, and puts everything into the right |

coordinate position automatically rather than requiring the user to do it. |

Rob Guglielmetti dded -lw and -lh options to falsecolor to control the |

Made it so pcompos will read everything from a stream even if it doesn't |

Wrote ra_bmp program to convert to and from Windows BMP files (finally). |

It's the most horrible image format I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. |

Increased -aa default value for all renderers (and also -ad and -as in |

rview) at Schorsch's suggestion. I think this undid my earlier decrease |

Modified oconv to keep subdividing the octree if there are too many |
| 1273 |

objects in a voxel even when the -r resolution limit has been |

If that isn't enough, then there's probably no hope, anyway. |

Increased polygon vertex limit to 512 in obj2mesh and obj2rad and added |

warning if this limit is exceeded. |

Added tone-mapping and monitor primary options to ra_bmp. This gives |

Added -p option to rcalc for "passive mode" that transmits |

unrecognized input -- useful for substituting data in the |

Fixed a very obscure bug in rpict that caused a dark horizontal |

Fixed problems with effective ray lenths computed for dielectric |

Fixed bug introduced in shadow caching routines where sources in the |

Fixed a long-standing bug in parallel processing code that only |

(potential) bugs in the rview device subprocess code and util/netproc.c. |

Corrected the normalization of the Gaussian reflectance model. This will |
