## Release notes
+### Version 0.4
+
+- Add support of infrared rendering: when defined, the new `-l` option setups
+ the range of long waves into which the rendering is performed. In infrared
+ rendering, each pixel stores the radiance per pixel and its associated
+ brightness temperature.
+- The ground geometry can now have several materials whose data vary over the
+ spectrum. These materials are listed in a new
+ [htrdr-materials](https://gitlab.com/meso-star/htrdr/-/blob/master/doc/htrdr-materials.5.txt)
+ file where each materials is defined by a name and a file storing its spectral
+ data with respect to the
+ [MruMtl](https://gitlab.com/meso-star/mrumtl/-/blob/master/doc/mrumtl.5.txt)
+ fileformat. A material is mapped to a part of the OBJ geometry by using the
+ `usemtl` directive of the
+ [OBJ fileformat](https://gitlab.com/meso-star/htrdr/-/blob/master/doc/htrdr-obj.5.txt).
+- Improve the sampling of the spectral dimension: the per wavelength
+ realisation is now precisely sampled rather than arbitrarly fixed to the
+ center of the sampled spectral band. Consequently, high
+ resolution data defined per wavelength (e.g. Mie's properties and the
+ reflectivity of the materials) are now fully taken into account.
+- Fix a deadlock when `htrdr` was run through MPI.
+- Fix a memory leak: the output file was not closed on exit.
+
### Version 0.3
- Add the `-O` option that defines the file where the sky data are cached. If
