As announced at the recent workshop, a new, official release of Radiance (5.1) is now available for download.
This release contains a number of important bug fixes:
• Fixed issue with multiple records on picture output in rcontrib & rfluxmtx
• Fixed Klems normalization (wrapBSDF)
• Fixed old bug: -aa 0 ignored textures

• Fixed orientation of Reinhart & Tregenza sampling in rfluxmtx
We also have a few new features, such as:
• New getinfo -a option
• Added genBSDF -recover option
• Rewrote bsdf2rad for better BSDF visualizatons
• Improved handling of “view” component in Klems & tensor tree BSDFs
Finally, we have some contribution updates:
• Roland Schregle added multiprocessing to photon-map routines
• Worked with Rob Guglielmetti to get it to compile smoothly under Windows (where MP is not supported)
• view360stereo.cal by Mark Stock
• evalglare fixes from Jan Wienold
