@@ -2771,3 +2771,41 @@ used to compute a more accurate precipitable water con
 value.  It currently does not use these data directly from
 the EPW input, relying instead on a dew-point-to-W calculation.
 This follows the request and recommendations of David G-M.
+
+Removed limitation in rfluxmtx, which was disallowing distant
+and local receivers. Found this to be a perfectly valid approach
+for some annual daylighting scenarios.
+
+Wrote new pvsum tool to handle cases dctimestep can't, like
+spectral input pictures.  It also adds a -N option for multi-
+processing on Unix machines, which utilizes memory-mapped
+inputs for efficient i/o sharing.
+
+Made it so genBSDF can use spectral rendering for a
+more accurate photometric result.
+
+Changed default matrix representation to float rather than
+double, which uses less RAM and supports faster operations
+in general.  Build with compiler flag:
+	-DDTnativeDTrmx_native=DTdouble
+to get back higher precision representation.
+
+Taoning Wang updated genssky and gensdaymtx to provide illuminance
+calibration and accept EPW files directly as input.
+
+Added -e expr and -f file.cal options to all rendering tools, not
+just rcontrib/rxcontrib.  Feature request from Peter A-B.
+
+Fixed slight bias in indirect calculation caused by ambient
+collision detection, pointed out by Jon Sargent.  New code
+keeps track of rejected samples and sells them back to
+later calls to get something closer to a true Poisson
+sampling method.
+
+Altered rvu "origin" command to take shift amounts forward,
+right, and up rather than taking an explicit origin, which
+can be done easily enough with the "view" command.  Peter A-B
+requested (sort of).
+
+Added genglaze tool created by Taoning Wang to generate
+spectral glazing materials based on CGDB data and models.
