| 2385 |  | ========================= | 
| 2386 |  | Version 5.4 | 
| 2387 | + |  | 
| 2388 | + | Added rcollate -c option to force operation to continue even if it | 
| 2389 | + | seems unnecessary.  Made tool more robust. | 
| 2390 | + |  | 
| 2391 | + | Added -t option to rcontrib (and rfluxmtx) to report progress after the | 
| 2392 | + | given number of seconds. | 
| 2393 | + |  | 
| 2394 | + | Added "test" target to makeall to run unit tests. | 
| 2395 | + |  | 
| 2396 | + | Modified bsdf2ttree to allow different parameters per input SIR file. | 
| 2397 | + |  | 
| 2398 | + | Fixed issues with very large matrix files (> 2GB) in dctimestep, rmtxop, | 
| 2399 | + | and rcollate. | 
| 2400 | + |  | 
| 2401 | + | Added -rf and -rb options to rmtxop to load front or back reflectance | 
| 2402 | + | matrix data from XML file rather than transmission.  (Lars Grobe suggested.) | 
| 2403 | + |  | 
| 2404 | + | Improved behavior for coincident surfaces with different materials. | 
| 2405 | + | Rather than returning one surface or the other based on floating-point | 
| 2406 | + | vagaries, opaque materials are now preferred over transparent ones. | 
| 2407 | + | If the materials are both transparent or both opaque, then whichever | 
| 2408 | + | surface appeared later in the scene description will be selected. | 
| 2409 | + | This came of a request for consistent behavior with legal CAD output | 
| 2410 | + | from Peter Apian-Bennewitz. | 
| 2411 | + |  | 
| 2412 | + | Added explicit tests for on-edge intersections with polygons.  This should | 
| 2413 | + | eliminate stray rays and tiny light leaks that often appear even in | 
| 2414 | + | well-constructed geometry. | 
| 2415 | + |  | 
| 2416 | + | Added "-s up" option to pabopto2bsdf to allow for 180 degree symmetry, | 
| 2417 | + | meaning that data repeats after 180 degree rotation (as distinguished | 
| 2418 | + | from "-s bilateral" whose data is mirrored about a vertical plane). | 
| 2419 | + | Thanks to Helen Rose Wilson for the suggestion and informing me that | 
| 2420 | + | such a thing exists. | 
| 2421 | + |  | 
| 2422 | + | Removed upper limit on number of modifiers in rcontrib. | 
| 2423 | + |  | 
| 2424 | + | Put cap on maximum ambient gradient to avoid over-extrapolation of | 
| 2425 | + | poorly computed irradiance cache values. | 
| 2426 | + |  | 
| 2427 | + | Added robjutil +T option to triangulate all faces in .OBJ description. | 
| 2428 | + |  | 
| 2429 | + | Altered BSDF library to have both front and back diffuse transmittance | 
| 2430 | + | values, which can be different.  This was necessary to avoid issues | 
| 2431 | + | caused by measurement and modeling discrepancies. | 
| 2432 | + |  | 
| 2433 | + | Added pabopto2bsdf -g option to cull near-grazing scattering to avoid | 
| 2434 | + | issues with noise and negative values. | 
| 2435 | + |  | 
| 2436 | + | Increased default dynamic range from 32 to 100 in pcond and normtiff. | 
| 2437 | + |  | 
| 2438 | + | Added -o and -n options to genbox to create .OBJ output and segment | 
| 2439 | + | edges and corners for transparent materials.  Also added -s option | 
| 2440 | + | to control smoothing for .OBJ and Radiance with segmented rounding. | 
| 2441 | + |  | 
| 2442 | + | Made it so robjutil with the +r option for Radiance output now | 
| 2443 | + | produces normal smoothing unless normals are removed with -n. |
