 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.
+
+Fix to glarendx issues with dgi calculation.
+
+Made it so rmtxop and dctimestep undo any exposure applied to Radiance
+pictures they may load.
