| 1159 |  | ****************** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE *********************** | 
| 1160 |  | Changed holodeck format to used off_t instead of long for beam | 
| 1161 |  | positions, which allows holodecks to grow to system file size limit. | 
| 1162 | + |  | 
| 1163 | + | Fixed wrapping long in source hit test code, which would cause | 
| 1164 | + | odd horizontal lines in some very long renderings. | 
| 1165 | + |  | 
| 1166 | + | Added -f and -w options to ra_tiff to create IEEE float and 16-bit/primary | 
| 1167 | + | TIFF output, respectively.  These formats are also understood on reverse | 
| 1168 | + | conversion.  (16-bit/primary has been understood for some time, but not | 
| 1169 | + | IEEE float.) | 
| 1170 | + |  | 
| 1171 | + | Added -N option to rad to start multiple rendering processes in | 
| 1172 | + | parallel. | 
| 1173 | + |  | 
| 1174 | + | Fixed bug where mesh instances were not being freed, so subsequent calls | 
| 1175 | + | in programs like ranimate would refer to bogus data. | 
| 1176 | + |  | 
| 1177 | + | Added support in normtiff for floating-point and 16-bit/sample TIFF input | 
| 1178 | + | files. | 
| 1179 | + |  | 
| 1180 | + | Changed marksources() routine (src/rt/source.c) to check all | 
| 1181 | + | primitives in the modifier chain for emitting types, not only | 
| 1182 | + | the first.  This permits sources to be described with intervening | 
| 1183 | + | modifiers before the light/illum/glow primitive. | 
| 1184 | + |  | 
| 1185 | + | Fixed bug in xform where it was neglecting to add transform arguments | 
| 1186 | + | to new mesh primitive. | 
| 1187 | + |  | 
| 1188 | + | Added -dF and -dD options to pvalue for byte-swapped floats and | 
| 1189 | + | doubles, respectively. | 
| 1190 | + |  | 
| 1191 | + | Changed meta2tga to output correct colors. | 
| 1192 | + |  | 
| 1193 | + | Changed local coordinate index from 32-bits to 16-bits, which requires | 
| 1194 | + | that Radiance mesh files be recompiled.  (Later decided against this | 
| 1195 | + | change, as it caused problems with some models.) | 
| 1196 | + |  | 
| 1197 | + | Changed integer tone-mapping routines to better deal with images | 
| 1198 | + | containing large, constant regions. | 
| 1199 | + |  | 
| 1200 | + | Improved interaction with rholo -o ogl driver under OS X, which was | 
| 1201 | + | returning bad values from the depth buffer. | 
| 1202 | + |  | 
| 1203 | + | Minor bug fix in ranimove where it was restarting processes when it | 
| 1204 | + | didn't need to. | 
| 1205 | + |  | 
| 1206 | + | Increased accuracy of default ambient parameters in rpict, rview, and | 
| 1207 | + | rtrace.  In rad program, doubled -ar value, -ad value, and -as value, | 
| 1208 | + | and decreased -aa value a bit.  Also adjusted -lr upwards and -lw | 
| 1209 | + | downwards.  I should have done these things long ago, as processors | 
| 1210 | + | have been getting faster and faster over the years. | 
| 1211 | + |  | 
| 1212 | + | Fixed bug discovered by Marcus Jacobs where oconv was dumping core | 
| 1213 | + | when it was given too many modifiers. | 
| 1214 | + |  | 
| 1215 | + | Fixed problem with rpict where it was drawing illum sources badly | 
| 1216 | + | even when they weren't all that small in the view. | 
| 1217 | + |  | 
| 1218 | + | Added in(i) function to rcalc for more flexible channel evaluation. | 
| 1219 | + |  | 
| 1220 | + | Replaced all calls to vfork() with regular fork() calls. | 
| 1221 | + |  | 
| 1222 | + | Fixed bug in glarendx for dgr calculation with sources behind view. | 
| 1223 | + |  | 
| 1224 | + | Added -p option to histo to print percentages/percentiles r.t. counts. | 
| 1225 | + |  | 
| 1226 | + | Added a source occluder cache to accelerate shadow testing.  This | 
| 1227 | + | can save up to 50% of the calculation time in scenes with many | 
| 1228 | + | light sources, especially ones containing large occluders.  This | 
| 1229 | + | optimization may be tuned or switched off with the -DSHADCACHE=N | 
| 1230 | + | compile switch, where N is the resolution of the shadow cache, or | 
| 1231 | + | 0 to disable it.  Since this is purely a time vs. memory trade-off, | 
| 1232 | + | I decided not to make it a new command-line option.  (We already | 
| 1233 | + | have plenty.) | 
| 1234 | + |  | 
| 1235 | + | ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** | 
| 1236 | + | Changed the following command names to avoid conflicts: | 
| 1237 | + | rview -> rvu (with symbolic link back to rview) | 
| 1238 | + | calc -> icalc | 
| 1239 | + | lam -> rlam | 
| 1240 | + | gencat -> gencatenary | 
| 1241 | + |  | 
| 1242 | + | Improved -f option of normpat, which caused odd color changes before. | 
| 1243 | + |  | 
| 1244 | + | Created pgblur script which does fast Gaussian blur of image without changing | 
| 1245 | + | its dimensions.  This is very useful in certain types of image processing | 
| 1246 | + | calculations, such as finding or removing low frequencies. | 
| 1247 | + |  | 
| 1248 | + | ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** | 
| 1249 | + | Changed little-used objpict script so that it takes scene files rather than | 
| 1250 | + | rpict options on the command line, and puts everything into the right | 
| 1251 | + | coordinate position automatically rather than requiring the user to do it. | 
| 1252 | + |  | 
| 1253 | + | Added -I option to replmarks for mesh instancing. |
