Feature requested & explained by Axel Jacobs. + +Modified -c option to rtcontrib so it can take a number of input +rays to average over, rather than only produce a single accumulated +record (which can now be done with -c 0). + +===================== +Version 4.0 + +Added -n option to rvu to provide parallel rendering. + +****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** +Changed ".pic" extension to ".hdr" in all sources and documentation +to improve interoperability with other software, since this has become +the de facto extension for Radiance RGBE and XYZE pictures. Since file +extensions were never more than a convention in Radiance, this does not +affect operation, but may require the update of scripts, etc. written +by others that assume the ".pic" suffix for Radiance output. + +Added -N option to objview to support multiprocessing. + +Improved sampling of circular sources (source, sphere, ring types) with +quite a bit of help from David Geisler-Moroder. + +Added "rpict" and "rvu" variables to rad, and made these as well as +the "oconv", "mkillum" and "pfilt" variables accept an alternate +command path in each case.
