# Line 2716 | Line 2716 | 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
2719 > Only runs on a single machine, however -- no NFS locking on
2720   shared volumes.  Mainly a demonstration tool for RpictSimulManager
2721   C++ class, but may have its uses.
2722  
# Line 2745 | Line 2745 | and the approximate method for 24-bit RGB.
2745  
2746   Taoning added genssky -L option to specify global and diffuse
2747   illuminance values for output calibration.
2748 +
2749 + Created C++ class for rcontrib and example tool rxcontrib, which
2750 + is an optional compile in the src/rt directory.  The output
2751 + model is more general in some respects and the operations more
2752 + efficient, but standard output is not supported, nor is ASCII
2753 + results data.
2754 +
2755 + Added strnstr.c compatibility module in ray/src/common, since
2756 + it isn't present on Linux derivatives.
2757 +
2758 + Added WGMDfunc material type with programmable roughness and
2759 + separate modifier paths for the different components.
2760 +
2761 + Added gensurf -i option at the request of Peter Apian-Bennewitz
2762 + to reverse surface normals, mostly for data input, when it is
2763 + a bit more difficult to adjust.
2764 +
2765 + Added rad -N option to rholo call for multiprocessing when
2766 + mkillum and/or mkpmap are involved in octree prep.
2767 +
2768 + Added ability of gendaymtx to read EPW as well as WEA files.
2769 + When EPW input is provided, the 3-hour average dew point is
2770 + used to compute a more accurate precipitable water content
2771 + value.  It currently does not use these data directly from
2772 + the EPW input, relying instead on a dew-point-to-W calculation.
2773 + This follows the request and recommendations of David G-M.
2774 +
2775 + Removed limitation in rfluxmtx, which was disallowing distant
2776 + and local receivers. Found this to be a perfectly valid approach
2777 + for some annual daylighting scenarios.
