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. + +Added further checking for coincident (overlapping) flat surfaces, +preferring front sides to back sides in the ray intersection +calculation. This only applies to rings and faces, as the other +surface types would have required additional calculations to +make them work. Material transparency is still the primary +consideration, now followed by ray hit side, followed by +modifier definition order in the input.
