Changed pcomb so -o option elides original exposure values from indented source headers. + +Added getinfo -r option, which is similar to -a except it will +replace indicated lines with new ones. + +Slight change to vwrays -d option to not spit out "-ld-", and to +produce "-ld+" without requiring input picture as argument. + +Added automatic overture calculation to rtpict with -n > 1 if +ambient cache is on and file is named. If straight image output +is requested, we randomize all samples and avoid cache collisions. + +Added cnt -s option to shuffle output. + +Fixed issue with divide-by-zero errors in the ambient super-sampling +routine discovered by Jon Sargent of Solemma. This affected regions +that had zero radiance, such as black backgrounds or unlit areas +with -av 0 0 0, when super-sampling was effectively disabled, causing +some loss in accuracy of the results. + +Updated Klems Half- and Quarter-bases to match angles currently used +in WINDOW. + +Eliminated most aiming failures for triangular light sources, at the +expense of conservative sampling near the centroid. Thanks to +David Geisler-Moroder for his help on this. + +Increased maximum set size to 8191 to avoid set overflow errors. + +Added source obstruction test to statistics being kept on which +sources were visible in adaptive shadow testing code. Previous +behavior was likely over-estimating source contributions. + +Added diffuse components into maximum directional hemispherical +reported by checkBSDF, so comparing to 100% is easier for each +component. + +Fixed incorrect calculations in iso2klems script, thanks to +help from Jacob Jonnson. + +Updated official copyright and license according to new wording +provided by Jean Haemmerle at the LBNL Intellectual Property Office. +Both were copied verbatim from e-mail I received from Taoning Wang +on 8/20/2022. + +Added -features option to rpict, rtrace, and rcontrib to check +which features are present or look for specific feature support. +This addition was suggested by Peter Apian-Bennewitz as an easier +way to determine which version of Radiance is installed and what +it supports, and is timely as we begin our refactoring of the +rendering code. There are no current plans to add this to rvu. + +Added falsecolor -odim, -orct, and -c0 options to overlay grid of +values on image. This was requested by Rob Shakespeare. + +Added -i* and -o* options in rhcopy for reading rays from the +standard input and writing rays from holodeck to standard output. +This will hopefully be useful in combining rholo with rcontrib.
