Changed default remote shell in ranimate to "ssh" rather than "rsh", |

Fixed behavior of source primitive using illum with no alternate |

Changed ambient calculation so that -ad will not limit recursion |

depth, and a minimum of 27 samples will be sent out for each stored |

Added -oM option to rtrace to report material (rather than modifier) |

Rearranged the way ray contributions are computed so that it might be |

possible to use rtrace to derive daylight coefficients and optical |

transfer functions. The new -oTW option of rtrace produces color |
| 1429 |

contribution weights for each ray, which combined with the -ti (or -tI) |
| 1430 |

option permits the contribution of selected surfaces or sources to |
| 1431 |

be determined. Using the -oTW option, one should also specify |

options "-dt 0 -aa 0 -as 0" for optimal results. In particular, |

one cannot expect reasonable tallies with -ab >= 1 and irradiance |

caching on (-aa > 0). |

The same code modifications included a change to the indirect computation |
| 1437 |

with caching switched off (-aa 0). Whereas before, the number of secondary |
| 1438 |

rays after the first bounce were half of the previous generation, they are |

now determined by the surface reflectance, making for a better and faster |

which used to be prohibitively expensive. |

CIE chromaticities for particular black-body temperatures. |

This tool may be used to do standard optical ray tracing or daylight |

Added tilde ('~') output option as part of the -o* specification of |

Implemented Russian roulette ray termination with -lr <= 0. |

Made -lr -10 the default in rtcontrib. |

Made rtcontrib -f option search RAYPATH directories. |

Made it so -o option of rtcontrib can pipe -o output to a command. |

Added -if and -of options to total for binary i/o (following rcalc mold). |

Switched default options in rtrace to use Russian roulette. (Rpict and rvu |

Added rtcontrib -r option to recover partial output. |
