[Radiance-general] Official RADIANCE 3.6 release

[Greg Ward]

Well, it's about time.

With Georg Mischler's and Peter Apian-Bennewitz's help, we now have a 
new, official release of Radiance: Version 3.6.  This is essentially 
the HEAD release with an official designation, so the only real benefit 
to installing it is knowing where you stand in relation to other users 
of the system.  Also, we have made Linux and Mac OS X binaries 
available for your convenience, and with the generous help of our 
community, will hopefully be adding to this list in the days and weeks 
ahead.

 From the U.S., the new distribution may be downloaded from the LBNL 
Radiance website:

 From Europe, it will be closer to use Peter's radiance-online server:

Note that the links to binaries may not be updated immediately for the 
new release.  To find out what release you have installed, "rpict 
-version" should tell you.  The official 3.6 version will say:

Incidentally, I have a number of CDs leftover from the workshop.  If 
anyone wants to send me a self-addressed, stamped envelope, I'll be 
happy to mail one out to them.  The postage is probably a dollar or so, 
and the envelope has to fit a CD.  Probably most of you who have an 
interest have already downloaded a copy from radiance-online, but in 
case there are some folks stuck with a 56K modem, this is your chance.
