 Created psketch program to apply non-photorealistic rendering to selected
 objects, identified by modifier name(s).
@@ -2226,3 +2226,66 @@ Its arguments are the same as the original "BSDF" type
 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.
+
+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.
+
+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/util/depthcodec.{h,c}.
