| 1511 |  | (Above changes included in 3.7.2 patch release 22 Aug 2005.) | 
| 1512 |  |  | 
| 1513 |  | Created fieldcomb script to combine alternate fields in a rendering | 
| 1514 | < | sequence.  (Development generously sponsored by Iebele Atelier.) | 
| 1514 | > | sequence.  (Development generously sponsored by Iebele Abel.) | 
| 1515 | > |  | 
| 1516 | > | Added missing preload of mesh objects for more efficient memory use | 
| 1517 | > | during parallel rendering -- this was a serious oversight. | 
| 1518 | > |  | 
| 1519 | > | Created ran2tiff program to automate exposure setting of animation | 
| 1520 | > | sequences using a moving histogram in combination with pcond, and | 
| 1521 | > | converting frames to TIFF. | 
| 1522 | > |  | 
| 1523 | > | Eliminated SPEED macro from makeall and source tree. | 
| 1524 | > |  | 
| 1525 | > | Added -pj option to vwrays to allow jittering of sample locations. | 
| 1526 | > |  | 
| 1527 | > | Fixed bug in rtcontrib where it occasionally missed writing the | 
| 1528 | > | final bin file.  (Pretty serious, actually.) | 
| 1529 | > |  | 
| 1530 | > | Added -Dfseeko=fseek to MACH= line for linux, as fseeko(3) seems to be | 
| 1531 | > | broken in current versions of Linux.  (Need to remove this later.) | 
| 1532 | > |  | 
| 1533 | > | Rearranged struct's for better efficiency on 64-bit architectures. | 
| 1534 | > |  | 
| 1535 | > | Added -i option to rlam so it works with binary input formats. | 
| 1536 | > |  | 
| 1537 | > | Added rtcontrib -bn option to specify number of bins and fixed bug | 
| 1538 | > | in recovery of files containing multiple values per record. | 
| 1539 | > |  | 
| 1540 | > | Added rtcontrib -fo option to write over existing files, which it now | 
| 1541 | > | refuses to do without this option. | 
| 1542 | > |  | 
| 1543 | > | Made rtcontrib flush output when handed a zero-length ray vector, | 
| 1544 | > | to match behavior of rtrace. | 
| 1545 | > |  | 
| 1546 | > | Improved color scale for falsecolor output. | 
| 1547 | > |  | 
| 1548 | > | Added threshold test for Fresnel approximation to prevent its use | 
| 1549 | > | on smooth surfaces with unrealistically low specularities (less than 1.8%). | 
| 1550 | > | Water has a specular reflectance of 2.1% at room temperture. | 
| 1551 | > |  | 
| 1552 | > | Removed NICE macro settings in rpict and rtrace, which was slowing down | 
| 1553 | > | the processes under Mac OS X (10.4) by about 60% due to processor napping. |
