| 1908 |  | Improved rendering speed of scenes with aliases by not entering new | 
| 1909 |  | modifiers into table if they are the same as the previously defined | 
| 1910 |  | modifier for that name. | 
| 1911 | + |  | 
| 1912 | + | Made it so icalc and rcalc search RAYPATH directories for *.cal files | 
| 1913 | + | given on command line.  This simplifies script writing and makes these | 
| 1914 | + | utilities consistent with other tools in Radiance. | 
| 1915 | + |  | 
| 1916 | + | Added triangulation routine to handle convex polygons in obj2mesh. | 
| 1917 | + |  | 
| 1918 | + | ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** | 
| 1919 | + | Made backface visibility apply to all material types, including | 
| 1920 | + | transparent and translucent materials (except dielectric and interface). | 
| 1921 | + | This makes the option useful in cases where adjacent trans surfaces | 
| 1922 | + | are placed next to each other by a modeler that only understands | 
| 1923 | + | volumetric objects. | 
| 1924 | + |  | 
| 1925 | + | 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 | + |  | 
| 1928 | + | Introduced eplus_adduvf program to compute user view factors for EnergyPlus. | 
| 1929 | + |  | 
| 1930 | + | 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 | + |  | 
| 1933 | + | 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. | 
| 1939 | + |  | 
| 1940 | + | 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. | 
| 1943 | + |  | 
| 1944 | + | ****** 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.) | 
| 1956 | + |  | 
| 1957 | + | Added "-c" option to getinfo to execute command on data segment. |
