# Line 1354 | Line 1354 | of light sources were appearing through obstructions.
1354   Sundstedt for pointing this out.)
1355  
1356   (The above were included in the 3.6.1 patch release.)
1357 +
1358 + Changed default temporary directory from /usr/tmp, which doesn't exist
1359 + on a lot of systems these days, to /tmp.
1360 +
1361 + Eliminated many unused files and programs from the distribution, including
1362 + the following programs that were being built but no longer used:
1363 +        oki20   - printer driver for OkiMate 20 printer (B&W)
1364 +        oki20c  - printer driver for OkiMate 20 color printer
1365 +        pcwarp  - intended as more general substitute for macbetcal,
1366 +                        but never quite worked
1367 +        ra_avs  - convert to & from AVS image format
1368 +        ra_bn   - convert to & from Barneyscann format
1369 +        ra_pr   - convert to & from 8-bit Sun rasterfile format
1370 +        ra_pr24 - convert to & from 24-bit Sun rasterfile format
1371 +        thf2rad - convert GDS "things file" to Radiance scene format
1372 + If anyone is still wanting any of the above programs, let us know and we'll
1373 + reinstate it.
1374 +
1375 + Fixed bug in pcond's acuity simulation for small view angles (less than
1376 + 4 degrees horizontally or vertically).  Thanks to James Lee for figuring
1377 + this out.
1378 +
1379 + Added script to convert to/from ICT's Poskanzer Float Map, which I don't
1380 + care to support officially due to its machine-dependent byte order.
1381 +
1382 + Fixed bug that caused incorrect reporting of non-surface in set when
1383 + mixing meshes and instances.  (Thanks to Jack de Valpine for discovery.)
1384 +
1385 + Fixed innacuracy in calculation of diffuse transmission in the presence
1386 + of pure specular (Fresnel reflection) using "trans" material.  Thanks
1387 + to Christoph Reinhart for pointing out the error.
1388 +
1389 + Made internal change to tone-mapping library to use structure pointer
1390 + rather than stack, making code re-entrant and more up to modern standards.
1391 +
1392 + Added -pd option to handle depth-of-field blur in rpict.  This requires
1393 + that the view directon (-vd option) include focal distance information,
1394 + which is now preserved by the various view file routines, and reported
1395 + by the vwright command.
1396 +
1397 + Added DBLUR variable to ranimate and pmdblur script to handle simultaneous
1398 + motion and depth-of-field blurring.  Thanks to Visarc for funding this work.
1399 +
1400 + Added setting of focus distance in rvu ("focus" command) and rholo
1401 + ('f'/"frame" command).
1402 +
1403 + Changed default remote shell in ranimate to "ssh" rather than "rsh",
1404 + which has been abandoned on most Unix systems due to security issues.
