# Line 1621 | Line 1621 | Additional error-checking for source surfaces.
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.
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.

1647 > ****** 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).
