## Release notes
+### Version 0.6
+
+- Fix the integration for non parallel sun: the angle between the principal sun
+ direction and the sampled direction was not correctly taken into account
+ leading to a wrong initial weight for the optical paths.
+- Fix the integration with shapes having perturbed normals: perturbed normals
+ must be taken into account in the bounces of the optical paths only, not in
+ the energy computations.
+- Fix the distribution of the pillbox sun: the pdf was wrong.
+- Fix the `ssol_sun_pillbox_aperture` function and rename it in
+ `ssol_sun_pillbox_set_theta_max`. The submitted parameter, i.e. `theta_max`,
+ is the angular radius but was treated as the angular diameter.
+- Update the `ssol_solve` API: add a parameter that controls the number of
+ realisations than can fail before an error occurs.
+
### Version 0.5
- Improve the performances up to 50% by optimising the allocation of the BSDF
- during the radiative random walk. Performance gains are mainly observed in
- situations where the radiative paths are deep, i.e. when they bounce on many
- surfaces.

### Version 0.4.2
-- Energy conservation property might not be ensured when the radiative paths
- were fully absorbed.
-- Handle infinite radiative paths, i.e. paths that bounces infinitely due to
- the material properties and/or numerical inaccuracies. Use a Russian roulette
- to stop the radiative random walk without bias.
