Wrote rxpiece tool that will render pictures using tiling and |

can handle different output formats and hyperspectral pictures. |

Added experimental source-skipping method to rpict for scenes | 
| 2756 |

with large number of light sources.  Currently works with |

rcontrib and separate srcsamp image-processing tool.  Controlling | 
| 2758 | 
– | 
rpict options are -dS for skip bitmap specification and -dC | 
| 2759 | 
– | 
for correction coefficient image.  Compile using -DSSKIPOPT | 
| 2760 | 
– | 
to include this option. |

Simplified synchronization between processes sharing indirect |

< | 
irradiance values via an ambient file. Removed file locking |

operations in favor of simpler operation relying on O_APPEND flag. |

Not sure if this will have any affect on shared filesystems, but |

it should reduce overhead for massively parallel machines. |

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. |

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. |

Wrote new pvsum tool to handle cases dctimestep can't, like |

spectral input pictures.  It also adds a -N option for multi- | 
| 2781 | 
+ | 
processing on Unix machines, which utilizes memory-mapped | 
| 2782 | 
+ | 
inputs for efficient i/o sharing. | 
| 2783 |

Made it so genBSDF can use spectral rendering for a | 
| 2785 | 
+ | 
more accurate photometric result. |
