- Adds support for Mar counting visibiliy heuristic - "Mar (Barrel) Contrast Count".
- Gamma-correction and 2-point normalization have been disabled. These options should not be used in any version until further notice.
Aliasing causes too much degradation in intermediate steps of the analysis. This degradation causes too much loss of information in color space for these options to be useful.
