What's new in POV-Ray 3.7.0
Jul 7, 2016
- Fix of formula to restore backward compatibility of heightfield on red+green non-indexed color image (not only backward compatible, but also correct formula to cover the full range as intended and documented).
- Added also a comment to explain why the indexed-image code should NOT be fixed: despite providing more range, index*257 would break the backward compatibility, so index*256 should remains (for historical reasons only).
- Updates to changes/revision files.
- Cleanup... updates and deletes.
- Delete outdated files.
- Add warranty disclaimer to console output.
- Remove outdated support header files for borland, mingw and watcom compilers. if support is needed for any of the above, it would be better to start a fresh header as the old ones have not been used since 3.6.
- Correct typo in rename.
- Remove old 4BPP toolbar icons as 16-color mode support isn't really relevant anymore.
- Rename a few files whose names were upper-case.
