This also cleaned up and unified handling of effective ray lengths throughout code. + +Bug fixes from Jan Wienold for evalglare. + +Changed indexed (numbered) output from dctimestep to start from 0 rather +than 1, to make it more consistent with expected input naming. + +Increased default sampling in bsdf2klems (-n option) to 1024. + +Fixed an issue noticed by David G-M that was causing genBSDF to bias +isotropic tensor tree samples resulting in subsequent failure of +peak extraction with "aBSDF" type. + +Introduced max() and min() functions to .cal library. + +Added random incident patch sampling to bsdf2klems to improve accuracy +with scattering interpolation representation input (e.g., from +pabopto2bsdf). The other input types already sampled incident patch area. + +Added gendaymtx -A option to compute average sky over all the input +time steps. + +Added ability to output color image from rtrace with any of -ovrx options. +Also fixed inconsistency of -oN output when ray casting versus full trace. +Before, it would flip normal to front side unless ray casting. Now, -oN +always reports the unflipped normal. + +Changed rlam behavior so -iaN reads N lines from a stream rather than N +characters. This seems more useful, since -ibN is somewhat redundant with +the old behavior. + +Created rsplit program as compliment to rlam and to handle more complex +rtrace output into separate files or streams. + +Improved getinfo so that it can also hop over resolution string with -c +and header elide mode. Use +d to include resolution string in output, +and -d to elide with - and -c options. + +Made pvalue -u option mean "uncompressed" with -r. Also, allow skipping +bytes on standard input. + +Created rcode_depth tool to convert to and from a 16-bit/pixel portable +depth image encoding that uses a mix of linear and reciprocal distance +with explicit representations of 0 and infinity. Code for loading these +depth maps is in src/common/depthcodec.{h,c}. + +Created rcode_norm tool to convert to and from 32-bit/pixel portable +surface normal representation, matching the one in src/common/dircode.c. +Code for loading normal maps is in src/common/normcodec.{h,c}. + +Created rcode_ident tool to create indexed identifier files. +Code for loading these files is in src/common/idmap.{h,c}. + +Added -o* option to rtpict to produce layered images that handle most +output types from rtrace (colors, surface normals, distances, IDs). + +Created rcode2bmp script to create images from new rcode_* output maps. + +Improved efficiency of rmtxop in cases where matrix multiplication is +faster evaluated right-to-left, as when the final component is a +column vector. Also added ability to apply trailing unary operators +(-t, and -s or -c) to resulting matrix. + +Added new depth, normal, and ID file types to radcompare. + +Added BigEndian= header line for automatic byte-swapping in rmtxop +and radcompare. Doesn't work quite as automatically as it should +for pvalue -r, currently. + +Added new "turbo" palette to falsecolor (thanks to Taoning).
