# 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.  (I measured 30% less memory usage.)
1627  
# Line 1633 | Line 1633 | of the smaller octree structure size.
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 + ****** 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).
