 Added rxpict rendering tool based on C++ RpictSimulManager class.
 Multi-processing and spectral output are supported.
 
-Added crude ability to read and convert spectra to RGB in ximage,
-ra_bmp, and ra_rgbe programs.  Also updated fast tone-mapping
-library to handle spectral HSR inputs at the same time.  HSR
-input handling was added in a similar fashion to pcond and pvalue.

 Wrote rxpiece tool that will render pictures using tiling and
 can handle different output formats and hyperspectral pictures.
 Only runs on a single machine, however -- now NFS locking on

 David Geisler-Moroder, which tended to overestimate specular
 contributions for some BSDFs.
 
+Added crude ability to read and convert spectra to RGB in ximage,
+ra_bmp, ra_ps, and ra_rgbe programs.  Also updated fast tone-mapping
+library to handle spectral HSR inputs at the same time.  HSR
+input handling was added in a similar fashion to pcond and pvalue
+for convenience.
+
+Added handling of hyperspectral images to normtiff, a handy program
+for quickly tone-mapping Radiance RGBE, XYZE, and now hyperspectral
+pictures, as well as IEEE float or LogLuv TIFFs.
+
 Added handling of hyperspectral pictures to pextrem, though
 results are still reported in RGB.
 
-Added conversion of hyperspectral pictures to ra_xyze, although
-it is even slower than rcomb for this process.  It is more
-accurate than most of the other tools, at least.
+Added accurate conversion of hyperspectral pictures to ra_xyze.
+
+Added hyperspectral picture conversion to ra_tiff, with accurate
+color when targeting 16-bit/comp., LogLuv, and float utput,
+and the approximate method for 24-bit RGB.
+
+Taoning added genssky -L option to specify global and diffuse
+illuminance values for output calibration.
+
+Created C++ class for rcontrib and example tool rxcontrib, which
+is an optional compile in the src/rt directory.  The output
+model is more general in some respects and the operations more
+efficient, but standard output is not supported, nor is ASCII
+results data.
+
+Added experimental source-skipping method to rpict for scenes
+with large number of light sources.  Currently works with
+rcontrib and separate srcsamp image-processing tool.  Controlling
+rpict options are -dS for skip bitmap specification and -dC
+for correction coefficient image.  Compile using -DSSKIPOPT
+to include this option.
+
+Added strnstr.c compatibility module in ray/src/common, since
+it isn't present on Linux-derivatives.
