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. + +Created gendaymtx program to compute annual sky patch matrix based +on Ian Ashdown's implementation of Perez all-weather sky model. +Output can be sent directly to dctimestep in ASCII or binary stream. + +Replaced existing gendaylit.c with improved version from Wendelin Sprenger +and Jan Wienold of ISE. + +Improved accuracy of ambient calculation for large -ad settings. Thanks +to Lars Grobe for noticing the problem. + +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.
