The dimmer bit is probably that the finish default for ambient was 
changed from 0.1 to 0.0 relatively late during v3.8 development. With 
assumed_gamma 1.0 the older default ambient of 0.1 was far too large. It 
should be something like 0.006 - if you want results as affected by the 
ambient finish default to act similar to the 0.1 at the old 
assumed_gamma of 2.2.

The greyer could be a lot of things including a little of the ambient 
default change above. The _maps with respect to color blend somewhat 
differently at an assumed_gamma of 1.0 than 2.2 - this a reason clipka 
added the blend_mode and blend_gamma options.
