# Line 2237 | Line 2237 | Updates to evalglare and gendaylit from Jan Wienold, i
2237   colored sky option.
2238  
2239   =========================
2240 < Version 5.3
2240 > Version 5.3 (Released September 1, 2020)
2241  
2242   Created radcompare program to compare Radiance tool output to reference outputs
2243   during unit-testing.
# Line 2314 | Line 2314 | column vector.  Also added ability to apply trailing u
2314   Added new depth, normal, and ID file types to radcompare.
2315  
2316   Added BigEndian= header line for automatic byte-swapping in rmtxop
2317 < and radcompare.  Doesn't work quite as automatically as it should
2318 < for pvalue -r, currently.
2317 > and radcompare.
2318  
2319   Added new "turbo" palette to falsecolor (thanks to Taoning).
2320  
2321   Nathaniel Jones created the "dcglare" program for annual glare
2322   simulations when the sun and sky are visible through the window.

2325 >
2326 > Added support for loading RGBE images into matrices in dctimestep.
2327 >
2328 > Added -y option to gensky and gendaylit to support more accurate Michalsky
2329 > solar position calculation.
2330 >
2331 > Changed rsplit, so specifying a space as the separator parses words
2332 > between whitespace.
2333 >
2334 > Added ability of vwrays, pinterp, and pmblur2 to read encoded depth files.
2335 >
2336 > Added -o RxCxR1xC1 facility to perform blocking in rcollate.
2337 >
2338 > Made it so number of segments in genworm, genrev, and gensurf can be
2339 > given as expressions of previously defined variables, etc.
2340 >
2341 > Added -D and -n option to gendaymtx to output sun description and skip
2342 > matrix output on request.  A -M option was also added to output solar
2343 > modifiers for rcontrib.  Support also added for leap days in WEA input.
2344 > Enhancements sponsored by Ladybug Tools.
2345 >
2346 > Updated eplus_uvf to work with IDF version 9.x, checking version number.
2347 >
2348 > Fix to glarendx issues with dgi calculation.
2349 >
2350 > Made it so rmtxop and dctimestep undo any exposure applied to Radiance
2351 > pictures they may load.
2352 >
2353 > Added robjutil utility to manipulate Wavefront .OBJ files.
2354 >
2355 > Fixed a crash related to rtrace -om or -oM with mesh instances containing
2356 > materials.
2357 >
2358 > Improved rtrace flushing function to handle any value for -x without
2359 > deadlock on controlling process.
2360 >
2361 > Eliminated unnecessary start-up procedures for rtrace when only ray-casting
2362 > is needed (i.e., no tracing or value output).
2363 >
2364 > Improved isotropic sampling method in bsdf2ttree using "zipper" approach
2365 > applied in genBSDF.
2366 >
2367 > Added limit to memory used by high-resolution tensor tree BSDFs for
2368 > cumulative cache during MC sampling (rendering).  Limit set to 250MBytes
2369 > per BSDF for standard architectures.
2370 >
2371 > Added -n and -s options to bsdf2ttree to provide some user control
2372 > over super-sampling.
2373 >
2374 > Improved surface normal codec used by ambient file to store orthonormal
2375 > directions exactly.
2376 >
2377 > Improved peak extraction method, which was undervaluing transmission
2378 > in many cases.
2379 >
2380 > New version of evalglare from Jan Wienold.
2381 >
2382 > Added -u option to gendaymtx to elide data columns (time steps) when
2383 > the sun is not visible above the horizon.
2384 >
2385 > =========================
2386 > Version 5.4
2387 >
2388 > Added rcollate -c option to force operation to continue even if it
2389 > seems unnecessary.  Made tool more robust.
2390 >
2391 > Added -t option to rcontrib (and rfluxmtx) to report progress after the
2392 > given number of seconds.
2393 >
2394 > Added "test" target to makeall to run unit tests.
2395 >
2396 > Modified bsdf2ttree to allow different parameters per input SIR file.
