Author: cdeline <chris.deline@nrel.gov>

    Standard BSD-3, remove special notice.

Deprecation warning on makeScene1axis has been there for a long time. Time to remove it. Addresses NREL#208 for next release.

modified sorting of tracker keys to demo.trackerdict since trackerdict is not being assigned on the first cell.

Also, modified enddate to 11/07, otherwise empty array.

_tempTMY saves a file with the daydate now if available so it doesnt get overwritten/overreda.

importnat fix to sky generation on gendaylit1axis, because the for loop was going to endindex+1 before.

analysis1axis added input for daydate, so cumulative file adds for hte daydate. The other option is to turn off the cumulative file saving option for daydate? discuss

Main has the script to run the runJOB on multiprocessing. It's not worknig super good though. Summary:
1) 8 cores on my computer: It uses all cores on the computer
2) HPC: seems to be using both Nodes (for a 60 day simulatoin), but only starts printing stuff for one of the cores... the other one appears some of the results but later, does that means it's being assigned afterwards to the same initial node?

test2 ist he most updated.
Delete this files when finishing with development....

fix orientation xdir ydir  NREL#226

This seems to solve issue NREL#226  for vertical modules.

Uses the code suggested on NREL#185 and PR NREL#186 , except for the xinc/2 and zinc/2. Does not seem to be necessary? At least for 4 sensors, it places it correctly at tilt = 0. Look at x,y and z rears (the front is hte one that has the offset of the module thickness). Also this particular fix would only work for E/W facing modules.

since orientations x and y changed did the updates.
also, xstart, ystart and zstart are slightly different now that they are closer to the module surface.

pytest still not passing because of modelchain.py though ~~ check

Added Mac OSX Instructions w Quartz from  notes on MacBook pro usage from and Alternative Installation with Windows Subsystem for Linux. from @mikofski , and @CameronTStark github and email threads.
This adds information of users who have bifacial_radiance on other platforms to address openjournals/joss-reviews#1865

Clarified that the gencumksy executable for linux is the one without the .exe that should be moved to the folder addressing issue on NREL#223

Fix contradiction on NREL#222.

I don't think this was the main issue with why the pytest was failing, but this helped in case the file can't be written for whatever reason (i.e. no trackerdict -- which was the issue.)

must assign z to be a smaller value otherwise it work weird. z= 0.0002 for example, for 200 nm

Added glass material description, stock_glass like in radiance guide example.
