+colored sky option.
+=========================
-<
+Version 5.3
->
+Version 5.3 (Released September 1, 2020)
+Created radcompare program to compare Radiance tool output to reference outputs
+during unit-testing.
+(-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.
-+
-+
+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.  A -M option was also added to output solar
-+
+modifiers for rcontrib.  Support also added for leap days in WEA input.
-+
+Enhancements sponsored by Ladybug Tools.
-+
-+
+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.
-+
-+
+Added robjutil utility to manipulate Wavefront .OBJ files.
-+
-+
+Fixed a crash related to rtrace -om or -oM with mesh instances containing
-+
+materials.
-+
-+
+Improved rtrace flushing function to handle any value for -x without
-+
+deadlock on controlling process.
-+
-+
+Eliminated unnecessary start-up procedures for rtrace when only ray-casting
-+
+is needed (i.e., no tracing or value output).
-+
-+
+Improved isotropic sampling method in bsdf2ttree using "zipper" approach
-+
+applied in genBSDF.
-+
-+
+Added limit to memory used by high-resolution tensor tree BSDFs for
-+
+cumulative cache during MC sampling (rendering).  Limit set to 250MBytes
-+
+per BSDF for standard architectures.
-+
-+
+Added -n and -s options to bsdf2ttree to provide some user control
-+
+over super-sampling.
-+
-+
+Improved surface normal codec used by ambient file to store orthonormal
-+
+directions exactly.
-+
-+
+Improved peak extraction method, which was undervaluing transmission
-+
+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.
