[Radiance-general] strange artifacts in rendering (and Yosemite bug)

[Greg Ward]

I have not tested all the programs fully under Yosemite to make sure there are no more deadlocks.  I would appreciate help on that from the user community ahead of the official 5.0 release, which I'm hoping to get out in the next week or so.  That means getting a 5.0a installer out or getting volunteers who don't mind compiling from source to run rvu, rtrace, rcontrib, genBSDF, etc. in -n >1 mode....

Cheers,
-Greg

I was just in the midst of re-making the Radiance packages (we need to support 32-bit Windows still), but I will *happily* reset the release tag to this commit and start over again, if it means I get to re-enable OpenStudio-Radiance multithreading on Yosemite!
