+		- linux daemon now sends stderr to errorlog.log
 		- added verbose option to linux superscript to allow for interactive output
 		- moved pymongo import to superscript.py
 		- added profile option to linux superscript to profile runtime of script
+		- reduced memory usage slightly by consolidating the unwrapped input data
+		- added debug option, which performs one loop of analysis and dumps results to local files
 	0.9.3:
 		- improved data loading performance by removing redundant PyMongo client creation (120s to 14s)
 		- passed singular instance of PyMongo client as standin for apikey parameter in all data.py functions
