Version 3.6 (Released 10/21/04) |
| 1144 |
|
|
| 1145 |
|
Modified 4-byte RGBE encoding routine to avoid problems |
| 1146 |
|
when one or two primary values is negative and the other(s) |
| 1343 |
|
correctly. |

Version 3.7 (Released 7/25/05) |
| 1347 |
|
|
| 1348 |
|
Fixed bug in source occluder cache which caused consistency error |
| 1349 |
|
for distant sources and mist materials. (Thanks to Mark Stock for |
| 1489 |
|
behavior so I documented it rather than changing it. |

Version 3.8 (Released 10/17/06) |
| 1493 |
|
|
| 1494 |
|
Fixed Russian roulette ray termination, which was doing the opposite of |
| 1495 |
|
what it should have been doing, resulting in overestimated values below |
| 1609 |
|
Added -h option to pcompos and pcomb to eliminate verbose headers. |

Version 3.9 (Released 3/30/08) |
| 1613 |
|
|
| 1614 |
|
Added -spec option to falsecolor to restore original spectral color scale. |
| 1615 |
|
Also added "-s auto" option to automatically set the maximum value. |
| 1621 |
|
Re-fixed bug in octree code that caused it to allocate 8 times as |
| 1622 |
|
much memory as it actually used(!) -- this was pointed out way back |
| 1623 |
|
in 1999 by Erik Reinhard and Erik Jansen, but the fix they gave me |
| 1624 |
< |
got lost in the slightly borken release process at the time. This |
| 1624 |
> |
got lost in the slightly broken release process at the time. This |
| 1625 |
|
should make a big difference in memory usage, especially for the |
| 1626 |
|
new mesh primitive. (I measured 30% less memory usage.) |
| 1627 |
|
|
| 1643 |
|
The only caveat is that -n setting > 1 requires -PP rather than -P. |
| 1644 |
|
|
| 1645 |
|
Added -c option to rtcontrib to facilitate cumulative calculations. |
| 1646 |

****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** |
| 1648 |
+ |
Fixed long-standing bug in source.cal, which caused it to produce |
| 1649 |
+ |
reversed anisotropic photometric distributions due to the |
| 1650 |
+ |
misorientation of the y-axis. Thanks to Zack Rogers for discovering |
| 1651 |
+ |
and helping debug this problem. |
| 1652 |
+ |
|
| 1653 |
+ |
Fixed long-standing bug in replmarks, where triangles with X-side |
| 1654 |
+ |
aligned with Z-axis would cause incorrect rotations. Thanks to |
| 1655 |
+ |
Zack Rogers for finding this error. |
| 1656 |
+ |
|
| 1657 |
+ |
Added rsensor program to compute sensor signal for daylighting controls. |
| 1658 |
+ |
Funding for this component was provided by the Architectural Energy |
| 1659 |
+ |
Corporation in Boulder, CO, and directed by Zack Rogers. |
| 1660 |
+ |
|
| 1661 |
+ |
Added "planisphere" (stereographic) fisheye view type for traditional |
| 1662 |
+ |
daylighting analysis. Feature requested & explained by Axel Jacobs. |
| 1663 |
+ |
|
| 1664 |
+ |
Modified -c option to rtcontrib so it can take a number of input |
| 1665 |
+ |
rays to average over, rather than only produce a single accumulated |
| 1666 |
+ |
record (which can now be done with -c 0). |
| 1667 |

|
| 1668 |

===================== |
| 1669 |

Version 4.0 (Released 3/12/10) |
| 1670 |
+ |
|
| 1671 |
+ |
Added -n option to rvu to provide parallel rendering. |
| 1672 |
+ |
|
| 1673 |
+ |
****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** |
| 1674 |
+ |
Changed ".pic" extension to ".hdr" in all sources and documentation |
| 1675 |
+ |
to improve interoperability with other software, since this has become |
| 1676 |
+ |
the de facto extension for Radiance RGBE and XYZE pictures. Since file |
| 1677 |
+ |
extensions were never more than a convention in Radiance, this does not |
| 1678 |
+ |
affect operation, but may require the update of scripts, etc. written |
| 1679 |
+ |
by others that assume the ".pic" suffix for Radiance output. |
| 1680 |
+ |
|
| 1681 |
+ |
Added -N option to objview to support multiprocessing. |
| 1682 |
+ |
|
| 1683 |
+ |
Improved sampling of circular sources (source, sphere, ring types) with |
| 1684 |
+ |
quite a bit of help from David Geisler-Moroder. |
| 1685 |
+ |
|
| 1686 |
+ |
Added "rpict" and "rvu" variables to rad, and made these as well as |
| 1687 |
+ |
the "oconv", "mkillum" and "pfilt" variables accept an alternate |
| 1688 |
+ |
command path in each case. Change suggested by Lars Grobe based |
| 1689 |
+ |
on similar Radzilla (radz) facility by Carsten Bauer. |
| 1690 |
+ |
|
| 1691 |
+ |
Fixed rad -v N specification to use actual view name if one. |
| 1692 |
+ |
|
| 1693 |
+ |
Fixed error in mkillum calculation where it neglected indirect |
| 1694 |
+ |
source contributions from BTDF illum's. |
| 1695 |
+ |
|
| 1696 |
+ |
Added GMT and LATLONG header lines for Greenwich Mean Time and |
| 1697 |
+ |
degrees North Latitude / East Longitude. |
| 1698 |
+ |
|
| 1699 |
+ |
Added gendaylit to distribution (finally). |
| 1700 |
+ |
|
| 1701 |
+ |
Added ability in vwright(1) to get view from command line arguments. |
| 1702 |
+ |
|
| 1703 |
+ |
Created genklemsamp(1) utility to generate samples suitable for |
| 1704 |
+ |
BSDF-based annual calculations. This is the first Perl script to |
| 1705 |
+ |
be added to Radiance. Hopefully, others will follow. |
| 1706 |
+ |
|
| 1707 |
+ |
Added klems_int.cal file to compute Klems bins for windows. |
| 1708 |
+ |
|
| 1709 |
+ |
Created genskyvec utility to sample a particular sky and |
| 1710 |
+ |
evaluate average radiance over the standard Tregenza sky patches. |
| 1711 |
+ |
|
| 1712 |
+ |
Created dctimestep program to compute a set of sensor values or |
| 1713 |
+ |
a combined image for a particular time using the daylight |
| 1714 |
+ |
coefficient method. |
| 1715 |
+ |
|
| 1716 |
+ |
Created src/rt/rayfifo.c for first-in/first-out handling of |
| 1717 |
+ |
multiprocessing by raypcalls.c. |
| 1718 |
+ |
|
| 1719 |
+ |
Added -n option to rtrace for executing on multiple cores |
| 1720 |
+ |
using new rayfifo calls. |
| 1721 |
+ |
|
| 1722 |
+ |
===================== |
| 1723 |
+ |
Version 4.1 |
| 1724 |
+ |
|
| 1725 |
+ |
Changed ranimate behavior so remote login under a different user |
| 1726 |
+ |
doesn't necessarily require the presence of the originating user's |
| 1727 |
+ |
home directory. |
| 1728 |
+ |
|
| 1729 |
+ |
Changed standard transmission function normalization back to what |
| 1730 |
+ |
it was in version 3.5, following recommendation of David Geisler-Moroder, |
| 1731 |
+ |
who pointed out that the revised BTDF increased too much at grazing. |
| 1732 |
+ |
|
| 1733 |
+ |
Changed rad behavior with -N >1 on single view to call rpiece. |
| 1734 |
+ |
|
| 1735 |
+ |
Updated SCons build system for MINGW compilation, thanks to Christian |
| 1736 |
+ |
Kohler. |
| 1737 |
+ |
|
| 1738 |
+ |
Added -u option to rlam for unbuffered output. |
| 1739 |
+ |
|
| 1740 |
+ |
Modified dctimestep to accept sky vector and daylight coefficient matrix |
| 1741 |
+ |
or list of images to sum together, as suggested by Andy McNeil. |
