the processes under Mac OS X (10.4) by about 60% due to processor napping. |

everything now gets linked to -lrtrad instead of -lrt. |
| 1571 |

Thanks to Rick Mistrick and Younju Yoon for identifying this problem, |
| 1574 |

|
| 1580 |

Added tmCvLums() to tone-mapping routines using a 16-bit lookup table |
| 1581 |
> |
on IEEE floats, which is also used to improve speed of COLOR conversions, |
| 1582 |
> |
especially on machines with slow log() calls. The first call to |
| 1583 |

tmCvLums(), tmCvGrays(), or tmCvColors() initializes the table. |
| 1584 |

|
| 1585 |

Created optics2rad.csh script to convert from Optics 5 material output |
| 1586 |

Changed -sj (specular jitter) option to something called specular |
| 1776 |
> |
sampling (-ss), which if set less than 1 has the same behavior as |
| 1777 |
> |
the old -sj, but when set greater than 1, spawns multiple ray |

Fixed bug in matrix output of genBSDF introduced shortly before 4.1 release. |
| 1815 |
> |
|
| 1816 |
> |
Made rvu more responsive in multi-processing mode when changing parameters. |
| 1817 |
> |
Explicit "new" command not needed to show changes, because it goes back |
| 1818 |
> |
to "immediate mode" once something is changed. Processing will be slow |
| 1819 |
> |
but response time quick until next "new" command. |
| 1820 |

|
| 1821 |
> |
Fixed major bug in transmitting proxy material sampling. |
| 1822 |

> |
Added -c option to vwrays to repeat pixels for rtcontrib. |
| 1831 |
> |
|
| 1832 |
> |
Reworked rtcontrib program and renamed to rcontrib. New version runs much |
| 1833 |
> |
faster, especially on multiprocessor systems, and doesn't require as much |
| 1834 |
> |
memory. No longer calls rtrace; instead does all the work itself. |
| 1835 |
> |
|
| 1836 |
> |
Added -d option to genskyvec to produce direct-only (sun no sky) vector. |
| 1837 |

Fixed bug in depth-of-field blur where view distance was measured from |
| 1859 |
> |
fore clipping plane rather than viewpoint. Thanks to Peter A-B for |
| 1860 |
> |
pointing this out. |
| 1861 |
> |
|
| 1862 |

|
| 1866 |
> |
Created gendaymtx program to compute annual sky patch matrix based |
| 1867 |

Output can be sent directly to dctimestep in ASCII or binary stream. |
| 1869 |
> |
|
| 1870 |

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 |

| 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 |

****** 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 |

directed otherwise using -f? option. |
| 1964 |
> |
|
| 1965 |

Changed pabopto2bsdf default behavior to add 90-degree rotation |
| 1985 |
> |
to bring pgII's definition of "up" in line with Klems axis |
| 1986 |
> |
conventions. Introduced a new header variable "upphi" to |
| 1987 |
> |
control this added rotation. Using "#upphi 90" in each |
| 1988 |
> |
BSDF input file gets back the original behavior, where it |
| 1989 |
> |
assumes that the up direction is 90-degrees from the X-axis. |
| 1990 |
> |
The default value of 0 corresponds to PAB's definition of |
| 1991 |
> |
the X-axis as being "up". |
| 1992 |

rows from top rather than bottom of image. |
| 2046 |
> |
|
| 2047 |
> |
Changed dctimestep to accept matrix as well as BTDF input |
| 2048 |
> |
in the VTDs invocation mode. This permits the output of |
| 2049 |
> |
rmtxop to be used in a pinch when combining multiple BTDF |

layers, although interreflection between layers is not |
| 2051 |
