+Fixed bug introduced in Auguest 2022 (5.4 release) in distant
+light source sampling, which caused aiming failures.  (Thanks
+to Mike DiPompeo of LightStanza for reporting the issue.)
-+
-+
+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
-+
+shared volumes.  Mainly a demonstration tool for RpictSimulManager
-+
+C++ class, but may have its uses.
-+
-+
+Fixed a bug in BSDF sampling of sources pointed out by
-+
+David Geisler-Moroder, which tended to overestimate specular
-+
+contributions for some BSDFs.
-+
-+
+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 handling of hyperspectral images to normtiff, a little-used
-+
+but handy program for quickly tone-mapping pictures and TIFFs.
