[Radiance-general] strange artifacts in rendering (and Yosemite bug)

[Guglielmetti, Robert]

To that end, I just moved the NREL 5.0.a.4 release tag up to Greg's latest
commit, and have posted a fresh Mac installer on there, so now you don't
even have to be able to compile from source to help Greg test this out!
Come and get it:

https://github.com/NREL/Radiance/releases/tag/5.0.a.4


Windows (including 32-bit!) and Linux packages will be re-made and
re-posted to this release page shortly.
