->
+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.
-+
+Also fixed inconsistency of -oN output when ray casting versus full trace.
-+
+Before, it would flip normal to front side unless ray casting.  Now, -oN
-+
+always reports the unflipped normal.
-+
-+
+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.  Use +d to include resolution string in output,
-+
+and -d to elide with - and -c options.
-+
-+
+Made pvalue -u option mean "uncompressed" with -r.  Also, allow skipping
-+
+bytes on standard input.
-+
-+
+Created rcode_depth tool to convert to and from a 16-bit/pixel portable
-+
+depth image encoding that uses a mix of linear and reciprocal distance
-+
+with explicit representations of 0 and infinity.  Code for loading these
-+
+depth maps is in src/common/depthcodec.{h,c}.
-+
-+
+Created rcode_norm tool to convert to and from 32-bit/pixel portable
-+
+surface normal representation, matching the one in src/common/dircode.c.
-+
+Code for loading normal maps is in src/common/normcodec.{h,c}.
-+
-+
+Created rcode_ident tool to create indexed identifier files.
-+
+Code for loading these files is in src/common/idmap.{h,c}.
-+
-+
+Added -o* option to rtpict to produce layered images that handle most
-+
+output types from rtrace (colors, surface normals, distances, IDs).
-+
-+
+Created rcode2bmp script to create images from new rcode_* output maps.
-+
-+
+Improved efficiency of rmtxop in cases where matrix multiplication is
-+
+faster evaluated right-to-left, as when the final component is a
-+
+column vector.  Also added ability to apply trailing unary operators
-+
+(-t, and -s or -c) to resulting matrix.
-+
-+
+Added new depth, normal, and ID file types to radcompare.
-+
-+
+Added BigEndian= header line for automatic byte-swapping in rmtxop
-+
+and radcompare.  Doesn't work quite as automatically as it should
-+
+for pvalue -r, currently.
-+
-+
+Added new "turbo" palette to falsecolor (thanks to Taoning).
-+
-+
+Nathaniel Jones created the "dcglare" program for annual glare
-+
+simulations when the sun and sky are visible through the window.
-+
+Tutorial is posted at
-+
+"https://github.com/nljones/Accelerad/wiki/The-Imageless-Method-for-Spatial-and-Annual-Glare-Analysis".
-+
-+
+Added support for loading RGBE images into matrices in dctimestep.
-+
-+
+Added -y option to gensky and gendaylit to support more accurate Michalsky
-+
+solar position calculation.
-+
-+
+Changed rsplit so specifying a space as the separator parses words
-+
+between whitespace.
-+
-+
+Added ability of vwrays, pinterp, and pmblur2 to read encoded depth files.
-+
-+
+Added -o RxCxR1xC1 facility to perform blocking in rcollate.
-+
-+
+Made it so number of segments in genworm, genrev, and gensurf can be
-+
+given as expressions of previously defined variables, etc.
-+
-+
+Added -D and -n option to gendaymtx to output sun description and skip
-+
+matrix output on request.
-+
-+
+Updated eplus_uvf to work with IDF version 9.x, checking version number.
