When using xml export, yafray will now render the alpha channel as well when 'RGBA' button in blender is enabled (Plugin does this automatically).
In plugin code, fixed smooth shading bug for non-mesh objects.
Relative paths for textures are now recognized (plugin & xml).
Fixed problem with duplicate objects (plugin & xml).
Really old bug, sun position is now correct (plugin & xml).
World background now can also be a regular image texture (jpeg & tga), but for now always assumes spheremapping, which is not the same as Blender either. In yafray the texture is assumed to be a full 360 (panorama type) map.
convertBlenderScene.c cleanup, the identity transform 'hack' is removed.
THIS AFFECTS ALL EXTERNAL RENDERERS (Aqsis and others) WHICH RELY ON THE RENDERDATA OUTPUT, VERTICES AND LAMPCOORDINATES/VECTORS NOW NEED TO BE TRANSFORMED BACK TO WORLD COORDINATES. See yafray plugin/export code.
Add an image texture to the world (in any channel, the first one with an image will be used) and it will be exported as an image background
The texture 'bright' slider is connected to the 'power' variable
If the image selected ends in hdr, it will be exported into an HDRI block.
The texture 'bright' slider effects exposure adjust (it is slider value - 1) so a value of 1 == no expousre adjust. (this needs a better solution in a later implementation)
Blender 'sphere' mode lights in yafray should now have more similar light levels
render shadow button in Blender must now be enabled to render shadows in yafray too
some other minor shadow related corrections
