This includes a qt-based driver for rvu, which is built in the new subdirectory src/qtrvu. + +===================== +Version 4.2 + +Axel Jacobs added -cp and -palettes options to falsecolor. + +Fixed bug in matrix output of genBSDF introduced shortly before 4.1 release. + +Made rvu more responsive in multi-processing mode when changing parameters. +Explicit "new" command not needed to show changes, because it goes back +to "immediate mode" once something is changed. Processing will be slow +but response time quick until next "new" command. + +Fixed major bug in transmitting proxy material sampling. + +Patched cmake build tools (changes by Zack Galbreath). + +Removed requirement for pflip -h to be given input file (can pipe from stdin). + +Added "Number of processes" slider to trad "Action" pane to control rad -N +option for rvu and batch rendering. + +Added -c option to vwrays to repeat pixels for rtcontrib. + +Reworked rtcontrib program and renamed to rcontrib. New version runs much +faster, especially on multiprocessor systems, and doesn't require as much +memory. No longer calls rtrace; instead does all the work itself. + +Added -d option to genskyvec to produce direct-only (sun no sky) vector. + +Added Ashikhmin-Shirley anisotropic BRDF model (ashik2) with help +from Nicolas Boneel. + +Added Ruby rewrite of objview.csh by Rob Guglielmetti. + +Fixed bug in reciprocity for tensor tree BTDF representations. Thanks +to Andy McNeil for identifying the problem. + +Added MNAME and ZNAME variables to ranimove for debugging & testing. + +Created pmblur2 command to take motion and depth buffers from ranimove +to compute a better motion blur. + +****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** +Changed BSDF routines to use updated/corrected XML specification and +removed depracated BSDF support from mkillum. + +Fixed behavior of i/o flushing in rcontrib with -c > 1 (averaging). Thanks +to Lars Grobe for help identifying this problem. + +Fixed bug in depth-of-field blur where view distance was measured from +fore clipping plane rather than viewpoint. Thanks to Peter A-B for +pointing this out. + +Added options to dctimestep to allow multiple time steps (-n) +and multiple output pictures or sensor files (-o). Also added -i +option to specify float (-if) or double (-id) input for sky matrix.
