Set minimum number of shadow checks before direct optimization (4). (Above changes included in 4.2.1 patch release.) + +****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** +Made header input and output the default behavior for dctimestep and +genskyvec. + +****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** +Changed pabopto2bsdf default behavior to add 90-degree rotation +to bring pgII's definition of "up" in line with Klems axis +conventions. Introduced a new header variable "upphi" to +control this added rotation. Using "#upphi 90" in each +BSDF input file gets back the original behavior, where it +assumes that the up direction is 90-degrees from the X-axis. +The default value of 0 corresponds to PAB's definition of +the X-axis as being "up". + +Fixed bug in rsensor related to having many rows (altitude) and +few columns (azimuth) in sensitivity file. + +Fixed floating point round-off error in new Hessian calculation +for some sytems (Windows, primarily). + +Fixed bug in tensor tree BSDF code that caused bus error on +some systems, and may have been source of other errors as well. + +(Above changes included in 4.2.2 patch release.) + +Improved ambient extrapolation to avoid zero values. Actual +threshold set to 5% of recorded value.
