 Added options to dctimestep to allow multiple time steps (-n)
 and multiple output pictures or sensor files (-o).  Also added -i
 option to specify float (-if) or double (-id) input for sky matrix.
+
+Created gendaymtx program to compute annual sky patch matrix based
+on Ian Ashdown's implementation of Perez all-weather sky model.
+Output can be sent directly to dctimestep in ASCII or binary stream.
+
+Replaced existing gendaylit.c with improved version from Wendelin Sprenger
+and Jan Wienold of ISE.
+
+Improved accuracy of ambient calculation for large -ad settings.  Thanks
+to Lars Grobe for noticing the problem.
+
+Added -r option to gendaymtx to rotate the sky the specified number of
+degrees about the zenith as suggested by A. McNeil.
+
+Axel Jacobs added -pal eco color map that does a blue-red-yellow scale.
+
+Created bsdf2klems tool to convert from various BSDF representations to
+Klems basis matrix in XML file.
+
+Fixed problem with inappropriate reciprocity enforcement on tensor
+tree reduction in genBSDF.  (Thanks to A.McNeil for discovering issue.)
+
+Fixed bug in isotropic tensor tree sampling for impinging rays
+exactly normal to surface.  Thanks to Peter Apian-Bennewitz for
+discovering and pointing out the error.
+
+Fixed double-counting bug in mirror material with alternate type.
+Thanks to David Geisler-Moroder for spotting the problem and helping
+to fix it.
+
+Created rcollate program to resize and transpose matrix data for Andy
+McNeil's 5-phase annual simulation method.
+
+Added epw2wea conversion program by Christoph Reinhart.
+
+Implemented Perlin's improved noise function with help from Rahul Narain.
+This will change the appearance of renderings using this function.
+
+Added "origin" command to rvu as requested by John Mardaljevic
+to place view origin at selected point in scene.
+
+Switch to Perl versions of objview and objpict written by Axel Jacobs.
+
+Improved rendering speed of scenes with aliases by not entering new
+modifiers into table if they are the same as the previously defined
+modifier for that name.
+
+Made it so icalc and rcalc search RAYPATH directories for *.cal files
+given on command line.  This simplifies script writing and makes these
+utilities consistent with other tools in Radiance.
+
+Added triangulation routine to handle convex polygons in obj2mesh.
+
+****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
+Made backface visibility apply to all material types, including
+transparent and translucent materials (except dielectric and interface).
+This makes the option useful in cases where adjacent trans surfaces
+are placed next to each other by a modeler that only understands
+volumetric objects.
+
+Changed dctimestep so that output matrices (-n > 1) are preceded by a
+header, and added support for float and double output formats with -o[fd].
+
+Introduced eplus_adduvf program to compute user view factors for EnergyPlus.
+
+Changed image-plane sampling in rpict to use Hilbert curve, which gives
+less of a brushed/striped appearance to output pixels with -u- (default).
+
+Added ltview and ltpict Perl scripts contributed by Axel Jacobs, inspired
+by Rob Guglielmetti.
+
+Added header variables for NROWS, NCOLS and NCOMP to help standardize
+matrix files.  This functionality has been incorporated into
+rcollate, gendaymtx, and dctimestep.
+
+Created rmtxop utility to operate on multi-component matrices.  This
+facilitates some daylight matrix calculations, and provides a general
+tool for manipulating matrix data.
