Modified 4-byte RGBE encoding routine to avoid problems |

Fixed bug in source occluder cache which caused consistency error |

for distant sources and mist materials. (Thanks to Mark Stock for |

Fixed Russian roulette ray termination, which was doing the opposite of |

Also added "-s auto" option to automatically set the maximum value. |
| 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 |
|

Changed dctimestep so that output matrices (-n > 1) are preceded by a |
| 1926 |
> |
header, and added support for float and double output formats with -o[fd]. |
| 1927 |

Introduced eplus_adduvf program to compute user view factors for EnergyPlus. |
| 1929 |

|

Changed image-plane sampling in rpict to use Hilbert curve, which gives |
| 1931 |
> |
less of a brushed/striped appearance to output pixels with -u- (default). |
| 1932 |

|

Added ltview and ltpict Perl scripts contributed by Axel Jacobs, inspired |
| 1934 |

by Rob Guglielmetti. |
| 1935 |

|
| 1936 |

Added header variables for NROWS, NCOLS and NCOMP to help standardize |
| 1937 |
> |
matrix files. This functionality has been incorporated into |
| 1938 |
> |
rcollate, gendaymtx, and dctimestep. |

Created rmtxop utility to operate on multi-component matrices. This |
| 1941 |
> |
facilitates some daylight matrix calculations, and provides a general |
| 1942 |

tool for manipulating matrix data. |

****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** |
| 1945 |

Introduced new Hessian-based error control in irradiance caching (ambient) |
| 1946 |
> |
calculation. Since the format of the stored ambient values is different, |
| 1947 |
> |
the old files will be rejected with an error message and must be removed. |
| 1948 |

The programs may be compiled with the -DOLDAMB option if this is a problem. |
| 1949 |

|
| 1950 |
> |
Added -p option to rcontrib to set function file parameters on a per-modifier |
| 1951 |
> |
basis to simplify bin evaluation. |
| 1952 |
> |
|
| 1953 |
> |
Created rfluxmtx program to compute flux transfer matrices from a sender |
| 1954 |
> |
surface to one or more receiver surfaces. (Renamed the file klems_int.cal |
| 1955 |
> |
to klems_full.cal in the process.) |

Added "-c" option to getinfo to execute command on data segment. |
