 in many cases.
 
 New version of evalglare from Jan Wienold.
+
+Added -u option to gendaymtx to elide data columns (time steps) when
+the sun is not visible above the horizon.
+
+=========================
+Version 5.4
+
+Added rcollate -c option to force operation to continue even if it
+seems unnecessary.  Made tool more robust.
+
+Added -t option to rcontrib (and rfluxmtx) to report progress after the
+given number of seconds.
+
+Added "test" target to makeall to run unit tests.
+
+Modified bsdf2ttree to allow different parameters per input SIR file.
+
+Fixed issues with very large matrix files (> 2GB) in dctimestep, rmtxop,
+and rcollate.
+
+Added -rf and -rb options to rmtxop to load front or back reflectance
+matrix data from XML file rather than transmission.  (Lars Grobe suggested.)
+
+Improved behavior for coincident surfaces with different materials.
+Rather than returning one surface or the other based on floating-point
+vagaries, opaque materials are now preferred over transparent ones.
+If the materials are both transparent or both opaque, then whichever
+surface appeared later in the scene description will be selected.
+This came of a request for consistent behavior with legal CAD output
+from Peter Apian-Bennewitz.
+
+Added explicit tests for on-edge intersections with polygons.  This should
+eliminate stray rays and tiny light leaks that often appear even in
+well-constructed geometry.
+
+Added "-s up" option to pabopto2bsdf to allow for 180 degree symmetry,
+meaning that data repeats after 180 degree rotation (as distinguished
+from "-s bilateral" whose data is mirrored about a vertical plane).
+Thanks to Helen Rose Wilson for the suggestion and informing me that
+such a thing exists.
