2015-03-27	Cycles: Code cleanup, prepare for strict C++ flags	Sergey Sharybin

2015-01-21	Cycles: Optimization for black world backgrounds	Thomas Dinges
	* If a Background node is set to a black color or zero strength, it now gets removed from the shader graph. * In case the graph is empty (no background node), the kernel will skip evaluating it and save some rendertime. This can help quite a bit in scenes, where the majority of the image consists of a black background. Example: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=82650 In this case the render is ~16% faster.

2014-12-25	Cleanup: Fix Cycles Apache header.	Thomas Dinges
	This was already mixed a bit, but the dot belongs there.
2014-09-05	Cycles: Initial support for volume ray visibility.	Thomas Dinges
	This adds a new "Volume Scatter" option to the "Ray Visibility" panels and can be used to e.g. exclude lamps from having an influence on the volume. See release logs for an example: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.72/Cycles Differential revision: https://developer.blender.org/D771
2014-03-29	Cycles code refactor: replace magic ~0 values in the code with defines.	Brecht Van Lommel

2013-12-28	Cycles Volume Render: add flags to quickly detect when objects have a volume ↵	Brecht Van Lommel
	shader.
2013-08-18	Cycles: relicense GNU GPL source code to Apache version 2.0.	Brecht Van Lommel
	More information in this post: http://code.blender.org/ Thanks to all contributes for giving their permission!
2013-06-28	Fix #35896: cycles crash with OSL image textures and viewport + preview render	Brecht Van Lommel
	running at the same time.
2013-06-11	Cycles: ray visibility panel is now also available for the world, works same as	Brecht Van Lommel
	meshes and lamps. The light path node already made this possible but it's a bit faster to render this way and convenient.
2012-04-13	Cycles: add render layer use environment option to disable world lighting on	Brecht Van Lommel
	individual render layers.
2012-02-28	Cycles: fix AO pass not rendering with AO enabled for world, and make mask	Brecht Van Lommel
	layers work more like blender internal.
2012-02-28	Cycles: ambient occlusion support, with AO factor and distance, and a render ↵	Brecht Van Lommel
	pass. http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/World#Ambient_Occlusion http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Passes#Lighting_Passes
2011-08-28	Cycles:	Brecht Van Lommel
	* Add alpha pass output, to use set Transparent option in Film panel. * Add Holdout closure (OSL terminology), this is like the Sky option in the internal renderer, objects with this closure show the background / zero alpha. * Add option to use Gaussian instead of Box pixel filter in the UI. * Remove camera response curves for now, they don't really belong here in the pipeline, should be moved to compositor. * Output full float values for rendering now, previously was only byte precision. * Add a patch from Thomas to get a preview passes option, but still disabled because it isn't quite working right yet. * CUDA: don't compile shader graph evaluation inline. * Convert tabs to spaces in python files.
2011-04-27	Cycles render engine, initial commit. This is the engine itself, blender ↵	Ton Roosendaal
	modifications and build instructions will follow later. Cycles uses code from some great open source projects, many thanks them: * BVH building and traversal code from NVidia's "Understanding the Efficiency of Ray Traversal on GPUs": http://code.google.com/p/understanding-the-efficiency-of-ray-traversal-on-gpus/ * Open Shading Language for a large part of the shading system: http://code.google.com/p/openshadinglanguage/ * Blender for procedural textures and a few other nodes. * Approximate Catmull Clark subdivision from NVidia Mesh tools: http://code.google.com/p/nvidia-mesh-tools/ * Sobol direction vectors from: http://web.maths.unsw.edu.au/~fkuo/sobol/ * Film response functions from: http://www.cs.columbia.edu/CAVE/software/softlib/dorf.php
