# Line 2710 | Line 2710 | added epw2wea -a option to include required informatio
2710   Fixed bug introduced in Auguest 2022 (5.4 release) in distant
2711   light source sampling, which caused aiming failures.  (Thanks
2712   to Mike DiPompeo of LightStanza for reporting the issue.)
2713 +
2714 + Added rxpict rendering tool based on C++ RpictSimulManager class.
2715 + Multi-processing and spectral output are supported.
2716 +
2717 + Wrote rxpiece tool that will render pictures using tiling and
2718 + can handle different output formats and hyperspectral pictures.
2719 + Only runs on a single machine, however -- now NFS locking on
2720 + shared volumes.  Mainly a demonstration tool for RpictSimulManager
2721 + C++ class, but may have its uses.
2722 +
2723 + Fixed a bug in BSDF sampling of sources pointed out by
2724 + David Geisler-Moroder, which tended to overestimate specular
2725 + contributions for some BSDFs.
2726 +
2727 + Added crude ability to read and convert spectra to RGB in ximage,
2728 + ra_bmp, ra_ps, and ra_rgbe programs.  Also updated fast tone-mapping
2729 + library to handle spectral HSR inputs at the same time.  HSR
2730 + input handling was added in a similar fashion to pcond and pvalue
2731 + for convenience.
2732 +
2733 + Added handling of hyperspectral images to normtiff, a handy program
2734 + for quickly tone-mapping Radiance RGBE, XYZE, and now hyperspectral
2735 + pictures, as well as IEEE float or LogLuv TIFFs.
2736 +
2737 + Added handling of hyperspectral pictures to pextrem, though
2738 + results are still reported in RGB.
2739 +
2740 + Added accurate conversion of hyperspectral pictures to ra_xyze.
2741 +
2742 + Added hyperspectral picture conversion to ra_tiff, with accurate
2743 + color when targeting 16-bit/comp., LogLuv, and float utput,
2744 + and the approximate method for 24-bit RGB.
