## Release notes
+### Version 0.9
+
+#### Adds simulation of radiative transfer in 3D planetary atmosphere
+
+The new `htrdr-planeto` command simulates radiative transfer in planetology
+context, i.e. in a 3D atmosphere of a terrestrial planet. Both infrared and
+visible computations are supported. `htrdr-planeto` is actually a renderer that
+calculates an image for a given observation position. Its internal rendering
+algorithm is based on Monte-Carlo integration, which consists for each pixel of
+simulating a given number of optical paths from the sensor, taking into account
+the phenomena of light absorption and scattering.
+
+The planet's soil can be any set of triangles with BRDFs and temperatures
+defined per triangle. The atmosphere is composed of a gas mixture and a
+potentially empty set of aerosols. Both can have arbitrary tetrahedral meshes
+with per-node radiative properties.
+
+#### Miscellaneous
+
+- Use scdoc rather than asciidoc as file format for man sources.
+- Update all dependencies. More notably, use
+ [MruMtl 0.1](https://gitlab.com/meso-star/mrumtl/-/tree/0.1) which introduces
+ API breaks.
+- Add the discrete wavelength distribution currently used in `htrdr-planeto` only.
