| 1960 | > | Version 5.0 (Released 9/18/2015) | 
| 1961 | > |  | 
| 1962 | > | Changed rmtxop so it writes out same type as lesser of inputs unless | 
| 1963 | > | directed otherwise using -f? option. | 
| 1964 | > |  | 
| 1965 | > | Changed order of oconv arguments in rfluxmtx so user can specify input |

| 1982 | > |  | 
| 1983 | > | ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** | 
| 1984 | > | 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 |

| 1990 | > | The default value of 0 corresponds to PAB's definition of | 
| 1991 | > | the X-axis as being "up". | 
| 1992 | > |  | 
| 1993 | > | Fixed bug in rsensor related to having many rows (altitude) and |

| 1995 | > |  | 
| 1996 | > | Fixed floating point round-off error in new Hessian calculation |

| 1998 | > |  | 
| 1999 | > | Fixed bug in tensor tree BSDF code that caused bus error on | 
| 2000 | > | some systems, and may have been source of other errors as well. | 
| 2001 | > |  | 
| 2002 | > | (Above changes included in 4.2.2 patch release.) | 
| 2003 | > |  | 
| 2004 | > | Improved ambient extrapolation to avoid zero values.  Actual | 
| 2005 | > | threshold set to 5% of recorded value. | 
| 2006 | > |  | 
| 2007 | > | Changed anisotropic Gaussian and Ashikhmin models so that |

| 2009 | > |  | 
| 2010 | > | Created wrapBSDF tool and incorporated into genBSDF along |

| 2012 | > |  | 
| 2013 | > | Initial check-in of Roland Schregle's photon map integration. | 
| 2014 | > | New 5.0a version designation as suggested by Andy McNeil. | 
| 2015 | > |  | 
| 2016 | > | Added left-hand coordinate sytems to rfluxmtx to correct |

| 2018 | > | David Geisler-Moroder. | 
| 2019 | > |  | 
| 2020 | > | Added color output to genBSDF (+C option) and support for | 
| 2021 | > | color rendering of Klems and tensor tree data. | 
| 2022 | > |  | 
| 2023 | > | Fixed another bug in rsensor that caused rays to be generated |

| 2025 | > |  | 
| 2026 | > | Fixed bug discovered by Jacob Jonsson in Klems BSDF |

| 2028 | > | transmittance and reflectance. | 
| 2029 | > |  | 
| 2030 | > | Added ability to read input from commands in dctimestep | 
| 2031 | > | and rmtxop. | 
| 2032 | > |  | 
| 2033 | > | Added photon map support to rad.  Fixed some double-counting |

| 2040 | > |  | 
| 2041 | > | Fixed issue with missing character type identifier at head |

| 2043 | > |  | 
| 2044 | > | Prompted by Roland S., added option to have pcompos -a order | 
| 2045 | > | 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 |

| 2067 | > |  | 
| 2068 | > | ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** | 
| 2069 | > | Added ability to digest color (CIE-XYZ) input in pabopto2bsdf. | 
| 2070 | > | This change alters the .sir (interpolant) format, so these files | 
| 2071 | > | will need to be regenerated.  Use the new "#colorimetry: CIE-XYZ" tag | 
| 2072 | > | to enable on input. | 
| 2073 | > |  | 
| 2074 | > | Rewrote bsdf2klems to support tristimulus color and call wrapBSDF. | 
| 2075 | > | Did the same for bsdf2ttree.  Function specifications still gray only. | 
| 2076 | > |  | 
| 2077 | > | Reduced a problem where rvu or rholo would be slow to quit when | 
| 2078 | > | run with many processes on a large model or one with a large | 
| 2079 | > | ambient file (taking lots of memory).  We were waiting for | 
| 2080 | > | processes to quit one-by-one, which takes some time for each | 
| 2081 | > | process as it disentangles its shared memory.  We now | 
| 2082 | > | wait for all the processes together, so they can disentangle | 
| 2083 | > | in parallel.  It can still take up to a minute in some cases, | 
| 2084 | > | but not 10 minutes like it was taking before the fix. | 
| 2085 | > |  | 
| 2086 | > | Enabled ambient cache value corral for all levels, not just final two. | 
| 2087 | > | This may reduce errors in certain pathological scenes. | 
| 2088 | > |  | 
| 2089 | > | Added -in option to rcalc, rlam, and total to limit the number of | 
| 2090 | > | input records in hopes of circumventing Windows EOF issues on binary data. | 
| 2091 | > | Also added -on option to rcalc and total for logical symmetry. | 
| 2092 | > |  | 
| 2093 | > | Increased modifier limit to 10,000 in rcontrib. | 
| 2094 | > |  | 
| 2095 | > | Fixed issues with glrad and added zoom response to mouse wheel input. | 
| 2096 | > |  | 
| 2097 | > | Added missing definition of "ashik2" material type to reference manual. | 
| 2098 | > |  | 
| 2099 | > | Changed genBSDF to calculate device thickness assuming Zmax==0 so |

| 2101 | > |  | 
| 2102 | > | Created pabopto2xyz tool to combine different sensor measurements |

| 2105 | > | Jan Wienold updated evalglare to version 1.30 | 
| 2106 | > |  | 
| 2107 | > | Roland Schregle added out-of-core photon mapping routines, which |

| 2109 | > |  | 
| 2110 | > | Added -a option to getinfo for easy addition of header lines. | 
| 2111 | > |  | 
| 2112 | > | Fixed issue with multiple records on picture output in rcontrib (and rfluxmtx). | 
| 2113 | > | Credit to Sarith Subramaniam for pointing out the problem. |

| 2116 | > |  | 
| 2117 | > | Added "-recover" option to genBSDF to pick up where it left off. | 
| 2118 | > |  | 
| 2119 | > | Fixed genBSDF issue that was created incorrect normalization of | 
| 2120 | > | Klems output.  Thanks to David G-M and Christian Knoflach for | 
| 2121 | > | discovering the error.  Also improved sampling of indirect irradiance | 
| 2122 | > | that showed some slight bias due to poor sample collision avoidance. | 
| 2123 | > |  | 
| 2124 | > | Fixed long-standing issue with -aa 0 neglecting textures in calculating | 
| 2125 | > | surface shading. | 
| 2126 | > |  | 
| 2127 | > | Fixed bug in ranimove introduced during photon map integration. | 
| 2128 | > |  | 
| 2129 | > | Added check for steep sections of BSDF in pabopto2bsdf, creating narrower | 
| 2130 | > | peakes in those places and mitigating some normalization issues. | 
| 2131 | > |  | 
| 2132 | > | Added view360stereo.cal by Mark Stock to handle 360-degree over/under | 
| 2133 | > | stereo views. | 
| 2134 | > |  | 
| 2135 | > | Added MAX2SHADE macro to place limit on number of light sources | 
| 2136 | > | to precheck for obstructions.  (Currently set to 200.)  This | 
| 2137 | > | avoids excessive start-up times for scenes with many light sources. | 
| 2138 | > | Thanks to Axel Jacobs for pointing out the problem. | 
| 2139 | > |  | 
| 2140 | > | Added -v option to obj2mesh to print out mesh statistics. | 
| 2141 | > |  | 
| 2142 | > | Rewrote bsdf2rad from ground up and made it a standard part of build. | 
| 2143 | > |  | 
| 2144 | > | Fixed bug in orientation of Reinhart/Tregenza sample generator in rfluxmtx. | 
| 2145 | > |  | 
| 2146 | > | Added ability to perform shadow-testing through unproxied BSDFs with strong |

| 2148 | > |  | 
| 2149 | > | Added {+|-}a options to genBSDF and bsdf2ttree for switching off reciprocity |

| 2151 | > |  | 
| 2152 | > | Added bias to see through BTDFs with a strong "through" component | 
| 2153 | > | rather than scattering view rays.  This is in lieu of peak extraction, | 
| 2154 | > | which looked to be too difficult from an implementation standpoint. | 
| 2155 | > |  | 
| 2156 | > | Added bsdfview tool analogous to objview but for BSDF files (XML and SIR), | 
| 2157 | > | which calls bsdf2rad then rad with a few useful default views. |

| 2164 | > |  | 
| 2165 | > | Added '*' and '/' operations to rmtxop for element-wise multiplication and |

| 2175 | > | Increased maximum luminance to 10^7 in pcond to fix issue noticed | 
| 2176 | > | by Axel Jacobs where veiling glare not added for the sun under | 
| 2177 | > | some conditions. | 
| 2178 | > |  | 
| 2179 | > | Increased maximum number of open files in rcontrib to the system upper | 
| 2180 | > | limit of 2048 rather than the default 512 under Windows. | 
| 2181 | > |  | 
| 2182 | > | Added top-level resources directory with files from Rob Guglielmetti. | 
| 2183 | > |  | 
| 2184 | > | Improved accuracy for peaky BSDFs and small light sources. | 
| 2185 | > |  |

| 2193 | > | Georg Mischler updated SCons build system. | 
| 2194 | > |  | 
| 2195 | > | Rob Guglielmetti and Alex Swindler updated CMake build system. | 
| 2196 | > |  | 
| 2197 | > | Modified pcomb so the first view seen in the inputs is written into header. | 
| 2198 | > |  | 
| 2199 | > | Wrote rtpict script to run rtrace in parallel mode and simulate rpict with | 
| 2200 | > | -n option. | 
| 2201 | > |  | 
| 2202 | > | Added ability to move forwards/backwards specified distance in rvu "origin" |

| 2209 | > | Thanks to Lars Grobe for pointing out issues. | 
| 2210 | > |  | 
| 2211 | > | Added RAYPATH searching for -f options to genrev, gensurf, genworm, | 
| 2212 | > | bsdf2klems, bsdf2ttree, and pcomb.  This makes behavior consistent | 
| 2213 | > | with rcalc, calc, and rendering tools. | 
| 2214 | > |  | 
| 2215 | > | Worked with Randolph Fritz to fix some issues with ies2rad and newer |

| 2222 | > | to modifier accumulation buffers.  Reported by Mostapha. | 
| 2223 | > |  | 
| 2224 | > | Added an "aBSDF" material type that explicitly checks for peak extraction. | 
| 2225 | > | Its arguments are the same as the original "BSDF" type, but without the |

| 2232 | > |  | 
| 2233 | > | Fixed issue with pfilt -m option and uneven image size changes pointed |

| 2239 | > | ========================= | 
| 2240 | > | Version 5.3 | 
| 2241 | > |  | 
| 2242 | > | Created radcompare program to compare Radiance tool output to reference outputs |

| 2244 | > |  | 
| 2245 | > | Fixed issue reading very large files (> 2 GBytes) in rcollate. | 
| 2246 | > |  | 
| 2247 | > | Made picking function in rvu ignore transparent and void surfaces. | 
| 2248 | > |  | 
| 2249 | > | Added -orRxX options to rtrace to enable output of mirrored and unmirrored | 
| 2250 | > | contributions and distances to enable new types of reprojections.  This also | 
| 2251 | > | cleaned up and unified handling of effective ray lengths throughout code. | 
| 2252 | > |  | 
| 2253 | > | Bug fixes from Jan Wienold for evalglare. | 
| 2254 | > |  | 
| 2255 | > | Changed indexed (numbered) output from dctimestep to start from 0 rather | 
| 2256 | > | than 1, to make it more consistent with expected input naming. | 
| 2257 | > |  | 
| 2258 | > | Increased default sampling in bsdf2klems (-n option) to 1024. | 
| 2259 | > |  | 
| 2260 | > | Fixed an issue noticed by David G-M that was causing genBSDF to bias |

| 2263 | > |  | 
| 2264 | > | Introduced max() and min() functions to .cal library. | 
| 2265 | > |  | 
| 2266 | > | Added random incident patch sampling to bsdf2klems to improve accuracy | 
| 2267 | > | with scattering interpolation representation input (e.g., from | 
| 2268 | > | pabopto2bsdf).  The other input types already sampled incident patch area. | 
| 2269 | > |  | 
| 2270 | > | Added gendaymtx -A option to compute average sky over all the input | 
| 2271 | > | time steps. | 
| 2272 | > |  | 
| 2273 | > | Added ability to output color image from rtrace with any of -ovrx options. | 
| 2274 | > | Also fixed inconsistency of -oN output when ray casting versus full trace. | 
| 2275 | > | Before, it would flip normal to front side unless ray casting.  Now, -oN | 
| 2276 | > | always reports the unflipped normal. | 
| 2277 | > |  | 
| 2278 | > | Changed rlam behavior so -iaN reads N lines from a stream rather than N | 
| 2279 | > | characters.  This seems more useful, since -ibN is somewhat redundant with | 
| 2280 | > | the old behavior. | 
| 2281 | > |  | 
| 2282 | > | Created rsplit program as compliment to rlam and to handle more complex | 
| 2283 | > | rtrace output into separate files or streams. | 
| 2284 | > |  | 
| 2285 | > | Improved getinfo so that it can also hop over resolution string with -c | 
| 2286 | > | and header elide mode.  Use +d to include resolution string in output, | 
| 2287 | > | and -d to elide with - and -c options. | 
| 2288 | > |  | 
| 2289 | > | Made pvalue -u option mean "uncompressed" with -r.  Also, allow skipping | 
| 2290 | > | bytes on standard input. | 
| 2291 | > |  | 
| 2292 | > | Created rcode_depth tool to convert to and from a 16-bit/pixel portable | 
| 2293 | > | depth image encoding that uses a mix of linear and reciprocal distance |

| 2302 | > | Code for loading these files is in src/common/idmap.{h,c}. | 
| 2303 | > |  | 
| 2304 | > | Added -o* option to rtpict to produce layered images that handle most |

| 2306 | > |  | 
| 2307 | > | Created rcode2bmp script to create images from new rcode_* output maps. | 
| 2308 | > |  | 
| 2309 | > | Improved efficiency of rmtxop in cases where matrix multiplication is | 
| 2310 | > | faster evaluated right-to-left, as when the final component is a |

| 2313 | > |  | 
| 2314 | > | Added new depth, normal, and ID file types to radcompare. | 
| 2315 | > |  | 
| 2316 | > | Added BigEndian= header line for automatic byte-swapping in rmtxop | 
| 2317 | > | and radcompare.  Doesn't work quite as automatically as it should | 
| 2318 | > | for pvalue -r, currently. | 
| 2319 | > |  | 
| 2320 | > | Added new "turbo" palette to falsecolor (thanks to Taoning). | 
| 2321 | > |  |
