# 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 + Added crude ability to read and convert spectra to RGB in ximage,
2718 + ra_bmp, and ra_rgbe programs.  Also updated fast tone-mapping
2719 + library to handle spectral HSR inputs at the same time.  HSR
2720 + input handling was added in a similar fashion to pcond and pvalue.
2721 +
2722 + Wrote rxpiece tool that will render pictures using tiling and
2723 + can handle different output formats and hyperspectral pictures.
2724 + Only runs on a single machine, however -- now NFS locking on
2725 + shared volumes.  Mainly a demonstration tool for RpictSimulManager
2726 + C++ class, but may have its uses.
2727 +
2728 + Fixed a bug in BSDF sampling of sources pointed out by
2729 + David Geisler-Moroder, which tended to overestimate specular
2730 + contributions for some BSDFs.
2731 +
2732 + Added handling of hyperspectral pictures to pextrem, though
2733 + results are still reported in RGB.
