Unfortunately, this code is not tested, since I don't have any IES files that use these shapes. + +Added support for depth-of-field blurring in vwrays using -pd option. +Also, made -c count work with vwrays -i, producing multiple samples +per indicated pixel position. At the same time, support for the -pd +option was added to rtpict, which calls on vwrays for its samples. + +Fixed issue with BSDFs that didn't obey reciprocity, where direct +sampling wasn't following exactly with indirect sampling. This was +discovered and reported by Jon Sargent. + +Created checkBSDF tool to test XML BSDF reciprocity and perform similar +sanity checks. + +Added -O option to pvalue and pextrem to report watts/sr/m^2 even if +picture is XYZE. + +Made subtle changes to header i/o routines to preserve alignment in +binary file formats to enable memory-mapping. Implemented memory-mapped +matrix loading in rmtxop for binary double files. + +Removed ambient value sorting, which was written when ambient caches +could overwhelm available memory. This is rarely the case these days, +and the added code complexity and updating of cache values with LRU +counts dirties pages that would otherwise remain clean, so it was +often a loss even when VM was an issue. + +Added iso2klems script to compute a Klems BSDF based on specular +and diffuse measurements as a function of incident angle. + +Fixed issue with over-counting diffuse component during aBSDF +peak extraction.
