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. + +Added dctimestep -x and -y options to specify image dimensions +for multiple outputs corresponding to result vectors. + +Added -P option to rcalc to pass formatted input when cond is <= 0. + +Created rcrop utility for cropping matrices and pictures more +conveniently, correcting view information. Expect it to be handy +for extracting rows and columns from matrices, mostly. + +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. Random image sampling +avoids some of the issues with redundant calculations but not all.
