# Line 1615 | Line 1615 | Added -spec option to falsecolor to restore original s
1615   Also added "-s auto" option to automatically set the maximum value.
1616  
1617   Added byte-swapping input and output to rcalc.
1618 +
1619 + Additional error-checking for source surfaces.
1620 +
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 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 +
1628 + Corrected ray weights for material mixtures.
1629 +
1630 + Reduced the default -n setting for obj2mesh to take better advantage
1631 + of the smaller octree structure size.
1632 +
1633 + Fixed bug in shadow cache where it was adding surfaces with antimatter
1634 + holes cut in them to the obstructor list.  Thanks to John Mardaljevic
1635 + for discovering and reporting the problem.
1636 +
1637 + Adding ability in mkillum to incorporate BSDF data in calculation.
1638 + Internal interface (raypcalls) now used in place of rtrace process(es).
1639 +
1640 + Fixed pixel alignment in pcomb for size reduction and enlargement.
1641 +
1642 + Allow rtcontrib user to set -P and -PP options for persistent rendering.
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 +
1647 + Added ability to incorporate LBNL Window 6 bidirectional scattering
1648 + distribution function (BSDF) data in mkillum.
1649 +
1650 + ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1651 + Fixed long-standing bug in source.cal, which caused it to produce
1652 + reversed anisotropic photometric distributions due to the
1653 + misorientation of the y-axis.  Thanks to Zack Rogers for discovering
1654 + and helping debug this problem.
1655 +
1656 + Fixed long-standing bug in replmarks, where triangles with X-side
1657 + aligned with Z-axis would cause incorrect rotations.  Thanks to
1658 + Zack Rogers for finding this error.
1659 +
1660 + Added rsensor program to compute sensor signal for daylighting controls.
1661 + Funding for this component was provided by the Architectural Energy
1662 + Corporation in Boulder, CO, and directed by Zack Rogers.
