Changed rad behavior with -N >1 on single view to call rpiece. + +Updated SCons build system for MINGW compilation, thanks to Christian +Kohler. + +Added -u option to rlam for unbuffered output. + +Modified dctimestep to accept sky vector and daylight coefficient matrix +or list of images to sum together, as suggested by Andy McNeil. + +Created genBSDF script to generate BSDF in Windows XML format. + +Modified mkillum to accept detailed geometry from BSDF XML files. + +Altered obj2rad to ignore zero normals (thanks to Jack de Valpine for +suggestions and help). + +Fixed bug in genklemsamp that caused non-uniform sampling over surfaces. + +Fixed bugs in rhoptimize and rhcopy for 64-bit compilation. + +Made a change to avoid problem using gcc --fast-math compile option. + +****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** +Changed behavior of rtrace and rtcontrib so that every scanline is +not flushed when both -x and -y are set. This avoids flush delays +in rtcontrib for large numbers of output files and delays while +rendering images using rtrace with the -n option. + +Added ability for rsensor to output ray origins and directions +rather than actually loading octree and computing sensor value. + +Fixed old bug in obj2rad where it would stop processing and +report a syntax error if the "void" type is used in the map file. + +Updated reflection model according to EGSR 2010 paper by David +Geisler-Moroder and Arne Duer. + +Replaced C-shell version of falsecolor with Perl script written +by Axel Jacobs. + +****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** +Changed -sj (specular jitter) option to something called specular +sampling (-ss), which if set less than 1 has the same behavior as +the old -sj, but when set greater than 1, spawns multiple ray +samples from semi-specular surfaces. + +Fixed bug noticed by Randolph Fritz that caused ambient sync errors. + +Fixed bug in findglare for reading picture files under Windows. + +Added options to pvalue to note other color spaces on reverse conversion. +Thanks to Erich Philips for the feature request.
