 Improved ambient extrapolation to avoid zero values.  Actual
 threshold set to 5% of recorded value.
+
+Changed anisotropic Gaussian and Ashikhmin models so that
+illegal orientation vectors are dealt with more gracefully.
+
+Created wrapBSDF tool and incorporated into genBSDF along
+with new rfluxmtx computation.
+
+Initial check-in of Roland Schregle's photon map integration.
+New 5.0a version designation as suggested by Andy McNeil.
+
+Added left-hand coordinate sytems to rfluxmtx to correct
+problems with coordinate axis orientations pointed out by
+David Geisler-Moroder.
+
+Added color output to genBSDF (+C option) and support for
+color rendering of Klems and tensor tree data.
+
+Fixed another bug in rsensor that caused rays to be generated
+on opposite side of hemisphere even where sensitivity was zero.
+
+Fixed bug discovered by Jacob Jonsson in Klems BSDF
+interpolator that caused it to over-predict normal
+transmittance and reflectance.
+
+Added ability to read input from commands in dctimestep
+and rmtxop.
+
+Added photon map support to rad.  Fixed some double-counting
+issues in photon-mapping spotted by David Geisler-Moroder.
+
+Added photon map support to trad.
+
+Fixed bug in antimatter source testing when antimatter
+definition follows potential obstructor in input.
+
+Fixed issue with missing character type identifier at head
+of genBSDF XML output.
+
+Prompted by Roland S., added option to have pcompos -a order
+rows from top rather than bottom of image.
+
+Changed dctimestep to accept matrix as well as BTDF input
+in the VTDs invocation mode.  This permits the output of
+rmtxop to be used in a pinch when combining multiple BTDF
+layers, although interreflection between layers is not
+accounted for properly as it is in the WINDOW program.
+
+Added Jan Wienold et al.'s evalglare to distribution.
+
+Hopeful fix to deadlock issue under Mac OS X 10.10.x (Yosemite).
+
+Fixed early exit of rcontrib with internal error (sample behind sender)
+discovered by Rob G.
+
+=================================
+Version 5.1
+
+Fixed issue with vchars.mta and symbols.mta not being installed in
+the appropriate metafile library location, with help from Rob G.
+
+Added ability to give quoted strings to output= directive in rfluxmtx.
+
+****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
+Added ability to digest color (CIE-XYZ) input in pabopto2bsdf.
+This change alters the .sir (interpolant) format, so these files
+will need to be regenerated.  Use the new "#colorimetry: CIE-XYZ" tag
+to enable on input.
+
+Rewrote bsdf2klems to support tristimulus color and call wrapBSDF.
+Did the same for bsdf2ttree.  Function specifications still gray only.
+
+Reduced a problem where rvu or rholo would be slow to quit when
+run with many processes on a large model or one with a large
+ambient file (taking lots of memory).  We were waiting for
+processes to quit one-by-one, which takes some time for each
+process as it disentangles its shared memory.  We now
+wait for all the processes together, so they can disentangle
+in parallel.  It can still take up to a minute in some cases,
+but not 10 minutes like it was taking before the fix.
