Fixed bug in rcontrib with virtual sources, where pretest was adding to modifier accumulation buffers. Reported by Mostapha. -Added an "sBSDF" material type that explicitly checks for peak extraction. +Added an "aBSDF" material type that explicitly checks for peak extraction. Its arguments are the same as the original "BSDF" type, but without the thickness parameter, as proxy geometry is not supported by this new type. The old "BSDF" type no longer does peak extraction under any circumstances, since this behavior is superfluous for proxied geometry. + +Added -r option to bsdf2rad (and bsdfview) to fix BSDF min and max range +for comparing BSDFs. + +Fixed issue with pfilt -m option and uneven image size changes pointed +out by Rob Shakespeare. + +Updates to evalglare and gendaylit from Jan Wienold, including new +colored sky option. + +========================= +Version 5.3 + +Created radcompare program to compare Radiance tool output to reference outputs +during unit-testing. + +Fixed issue reading very large files (> 2 GBytes) in rcollate. + +Made picking function in rvu ignore transparent and void surfaces. + +Added -orRxX options to rtrace to enable output of mirrored and unmirrored +contributions and distances to enable new types of reprojections.

The other input types already sampled incident patch area.
