Added header variables for NROWS, NCOLS and NCOMP to help standardize matrix files. This functionality has been incorporated into rcollate, gendaymtx, and dctimestep. + +Created rmtxop utility to operate on multi-component matrices. This +facilitates some daylight matrix calculations, and provides a general +tool for manipulating matrix data. + +****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** +Introduced new Hessian-based error control in irradiance caching (ambient) +calculation. Since the format of the stored ambient values is different, +the old files will be rejected with an error message and must be removed. +The programs may be compiled with the -DOLDAMB option if this is a problem. + +Added -p option to rcontrib to set function file parameters on a per-modifier +basis to simplify bin evaluation. + +Created rfluxmtx program to compute flux transfer matrices from a sender +surface to one or more receiver surfaces. (Renamed the file klems_int.cal +to klems_full.cal in the process.) + +Added "-c" option to getinfo to execute command on data segment. + +===================== +Version 4.3 + +Changed rmtxop so it writes out same type as lesser of inputs unless +direction otherwise using -f? option. + +Changed order of oconv arguments in rfluxmtx so user can specify input +octree using -i option at the end instead of (or in addition to) a +list of scene files. + +Added support for argument expansion to rfluxmtx and bug fixes. + +Fixed bug in indirect hemisphere sampling for some corner cases. + +Added default specular lobe to BSDF interpolation. + +Set minimum number of shadow checks before direct optimization (4). + +(Above changes included in 4.2.1 patch release.)
