Added -r option to gendaymtx to rotate the sky the specified number of degrees about the zenith as suggested by A. McNeil. + +Axel Jacobs added -pal eco color map that does a blue-red-yellow scale. + +Created bsdf2klems tool to convert from various BSDF representations to +Klems basis matrix in XML file. + +Fixed problem with inappropriate reciprocity enforcement on tensor +tree reduction in genBSDF. (Thanks to A.McNeil for discovering issue.) + +Fixed bug in isotropic tensor tree sampling for impinging rays +exactly normal to surface. Thanks to Peter Apian-Bennewitz for +discovering and pointing out the error. + +Fixed double-counting bug in mirror material with alternate type. +Thanks to David Geisler-Moroder for spotting the problem and helping +to fix it. + +Created rcollate program to resize and transpose matrix data for Andy +McNeil's 5-phase annual simulation method. + +Added epw2wea conversion program by Christoph Reinhart. + +Implemented Perlin's improved noise function with help from Rahul Narain. +This will change the appearance of renderings using this function. + +Added "origin" command to rvu as requested by John Mardaljevic +to place view origin at selected point in scene. + +Switch to Perl versions of objview and objpict written by Axel Jacobs. + +Improved rendering speed of scenes with aliases by not entering new +modifiers into table if they are the same as the previously defined +modifier for that name. + +Made it so icalc and rcalc search RAYPATH directories for *.cal files +given on command line. This simplifies script writing and makes these +utilities consistent with other tools in Radiance. + +Added triangulation routine to handle convex polygons in obj2mesh. + +****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** +Made backface visibility apply to all material types, including +transparent and translucent materials (except dielectric and interface). +This makes the option useful in cases where adjacent trans surfaces +are placed next to each other by a modeler that only understands +volumetric objects. + +Changed dctimestep so that output matrices (-n > 1) are preceded by a +header, and added support for float and double output formats with -o[fd]. + +Introduced eplus_adduvf program to compute user view factors for EnergyPlus. + +Changed image-plane sampling in rpict to use Hilbert curve, which gives +less of a brushed/striped appearance to output pixels with -u- (default). + +Added ltview and ltpict Perl scripts contributed by Axel Jacobs, inspired +by Rob Guglielmetti. + +Added header variables for NROWS, NCOLS and NCOMP to help standardize +matrix files. This functionality has been incorporated into +rcollate, gendaymtx, and dctimestep.
