+discovered by Rob G.
+=================================
-<
+Version 5.1
->
+Version 5.1 (Released 8/17/2017)
+Fixed issue with vchars.mta and symbols.mta not being installed in
+the appropriate metafile library location, with help from Rob G.
+Thanks to Axel Jacobs for pointing out the problem.
+Added -v option to obj2mesh to print out mesh statistics.
-+
-+
+Rewrote bsdf2rad from ground up and made it a standard part of build.
-+
-+
+Fixed bug in orientation of Reinhart/Tregenza sample generator in rfluxmtx.
-+
-+
+Added ability to perform shadow-testing through unproxied BSDFs with strong
-+
+through (direct-direct) component.
-+
-+
+Added {+|-}a options to genBSDF and bsdf2ttree for switching off reciprocity
-+
+averaging.
-+
-+
+Added bias to see through BTDFs with a strong "through" component
-+
+rather than scattering view rays.  This is in lieu of peak extraction,
-+
+which looked to be too difficult from an implementation standpoint.
-+
-+
+Added bsdfview tool analogous to objview but for BSDF files (XML and SIR),
-+
+which calls bsdf2rad then rad with a few useful default views.
-+
-+
+=========================
-+
+Version 5.2 (Release October 8, 2018)
-+
-+
+Created psketch program to apply non-photorealistic rendering to selected
-+
+objects, identified by modifier name(s).
-+
-+
+Added '*' and '/' operations to rmtxop for element-wise multiplication and
-+
+division of same-sized matrices.
-+
-+
+Changed falsecolor so "-s" option is adjusted to match legend if one.
-+
-+
+Falsecolor legend changes and improvements by David G-M and Stephen W.
-+
-+
+Fixed bug in peak extraction code that generated
-+
+"Bad call to SDqueryTreProjSA" error, reported by Lars Grobe.
-+
-+
+Increased maximum luminance to 10^7 in pcond to fix issue noticed
-+
+by Axel Jacobs where veiling glare not added for the sun under
-+
+some conditions.
-+
-+
+Increased maximum number of open files in rcontrib to the system upper
-+
+limit of 2048 rather than the default 512 under Windows.
-+
-+
+Added top-level resources directory with files from Rob Guglielmetti.
-+
-+
+Improved accuracy for peaky BSDFs and small light sources.
-+
-+
+Fixed issue with pmapdump noted by Axel Jacobs.
-+
-+
+Improved accuracy of bsdf2ttree when converting scattering interpolation
-+
+representatons with strong peaks.
-+
-+
+Tweaked peak-extraction code to work more reliably.
-+
-+
+Georg Mischler updated SCons build system.
-+
-+
+Rob Guglielmetti and Alex Swindler updated CMake build system.
-+
-+
+Modified pcomb so the first view seen in the inputs is written into header.
-+
-+
+Wrote rtpict script to run rtrace in parallel mode and simulate rpict with
-+
+-n option.
-+
-+
+Added ability to move forwards/backwards specified distance in rvu "origin"
-+
+command.  Feature requested by John Mardaljevic, who essentially owns this
-+
+command, now.
-+
-+
+Reduced bias in ambient super-sampling method.
-+
-+
+Fixed bugs associated with zero transmission in chromatic tensor trees.
-+
+Thanks to Lars Grobe for pointing out issues.
-+
-+
+Added RAYPATH searching for -f options to genrev, gensurf, genworm,
-+
+bsdf2klems, bsdf2ttree, and pcomb.  This makes behavior consistent
-+
+with rcalc, calc, and rendering tools.
-+
-+
+Worked with Randolph Fritz to fix some issues with ies2rad and newer
-+
+IESNA63 standards.
-+
-+
+Resurrected original bsdf2rad test program, renaming it bsdf2rado. Still an
-+
+optional build in src/cv/.
-+
-+
+Fixed bug in rcontrib with virtual sources, where pretest was adding
-+
+to modifier accumulation buffers.  Reported by Mostapha.
-+
-+
+Added an "aBSDF" material type that explicitly checks for peak extraction.
-+
+Its arguments are the same as the original "BSDF" type, but without the
-+
+thickness parameter, as proxy geometry is not supported by this new type.
-+
+The old "BSDF" type no longer does peak extraction under any circumstances,
-+
+since this behavior is superfluous for proxied geometry.
-+
-+
+Added -r option to bsdf2rad (and bsdfview) to fix BSDF min and max range
-+
+for comparing BSDFs.
-+
-+
+Fixed issue with pfilt -m option and uneven image size changes pointed
-+
+out by Rob Shakespeare.
-+
-+
+Updates to evalglare and gendaylit from Jan Wienold, including new
-+
+colored sky option.
-+
-+
+=========================
-+
+Version 5.3
-+
-+
+Created radcompare program to compare Radiance tool output to reference outputs
-+
+during unit-testing.
-+
-+
+Fixed issue reading very large files (> 2 GBytes) in rcollate.
-+
-+
+Made picking function in rvu ignore transparent and void surfaces.
-+
-+
+Added -orRxX options to rtrace to enable output of mirrored and unmirrored
-+
+contributions and distances to enable new types of reprojections.  This also
-+
+cleaned up and unified handling of effective ray lengths throughout code.
-+
-+
+Bug fixes from Jan Wienold for evalglare.
-+
-+
+Changed indexed (numbered) output from dctimestep to start from 0 rather
-+
+than 1, to make it more consistent with expected input naming.
-+
-+
+Increased default sampling in bsdf2klems (-n option) to 1024.
-+
-+
+Fixed an issue noticed by David G-M that was causing genBSDF to bias
-+
+isotropic tensor tree samples resulting in subsequent failure of
-+
+peak extraction with "aBSDF" type.
-+
-+
+Introduced max() and min() functions to .cal library.
-+
-+
+Added random incident patch sampling to bsdf2klems to improve accuracy
-+
+with scattering interpolation representation input (e.g., from
-+
+pabopto2bsdf).  The other input types already sampled incident patch area.
-+
-+
+Added gendaymtx -A option to compute average sky over all the input
-+
+time steps.
-+
-+
+Added ability to output color image from rtrace with any of -ovrx options.
-+
-+
+Changed rlam behavior so -iaN reads N lines from a stream rather than N
-+
+characters.  This seems more useful, since -ibN is somewhat redundant with
-+
+the old behavior.
-+
-+
+Created rsplit program as compliment to rlam and to handle more complex
-+
+rtrace output into separate files or streams.
-+
-+
+Improved getinfo so that it can also hop over resolution string with -c
-+
+and header elide mode.
-+
-+
+Made pvalue -u option mean "uncompressed" with -r.  Also, allow skipping
-+
+bytes on standard input.
