The outputs now fully + describe the incoming and absorbed fluxes: overall flux, flux without + material loss, flux without atmospheric loss, material losses and atmospheric + losses. +- Rename the pillbox `aperture` parameter in `theta_max`. +- Fix the distribution of the pillbox sun: the pdf was wrong and its angular + parameter was internally used as an angular diameter while it is a angular + radius. +- Fix the solver for non parallel sun: the angle between the principal sun + direction and the sampled direction was not correctly taken into account + leading to a wrong initial weight for the optical paths. +- Fix the solver with shapes having perturbed normals: perturbed normals + must be taken into account in the bounces of the optical paths only, not in + the energy computations. + ### Version 0.5 - Improve the performances of the solver up to 50% in situations where the
