 ------------
 
+**version 0.5.6**
+
+Calls to the stats command will now respect your config files, including loading all the variable information and pass/fail settings from config file when you provide one. (To turn on pass/fail testing in stats you will need to include the “-x” or “--doPassFail” option on the command line.)
+
+The custom ranges, custom range colors, and custom range names are working again for all kinds of plots they apply to (or for the first time ever in some cases like quiver plots). 
+
+The GUI now has more informational tooltips explaining the various controls.
+
+The GUI will now more accurately guess what navigation variables to use when opening a file. 
+
+The GUI will now display an error message instead of a blank figure if you try to create a histogram with too little data. 
+
+When you give the GUI a nonexistent file to load on the command line it will now correctly detect that it shouldn't open something that doesn't exist, rather than trying to load and crashing. 
+
+When creating comparison reports for variables with only 1 data point, the report will now correctly show no figures rather than showing broken figure images because we tried to image link figures that we couldn’t create with so little data. 
+
+The documentation for comparison reports will now describe the actual stats that show up on the reports, rather than the stats we were displaying before the page was restyled... a while ago. 
+
+The links to the documentation page in reports have been restyled to link with small ?’s, offer hover text with the stat description, and link to the specific stat entry rather than just the documentation page. 
+
+Glance plots have moved to a slightly tighter layout to minimize unneeded whitespace and fix a bug with very long user provided category names going off the edge of the plot. 
+
+Got rid of some old unused code and moved to newer versions of some deprecated python methods that Glance calls.

 **version 0.5.5**
 
 Glance now has a --warnmissingvars command line option that will cause it to emit warnings when variables the user specifically requested are not present in the input files.
