Hi, there is a new release 6.0.0 of Therion.
Release notes:

v6.0.0          Therion 6.0.0 (2021-07-13):
    
    therion:
     * support for colour models: cmyk, rgb, grayscale (see the color-model layout
       option in the Thbook)
     * support for colour management (see the color-profile layout option)
     * support for linear and radial shading (colour gradients) in MetaPost
       (withlinearshading and withradialshading options)
     * support for smooth colour transitions of scrap backgrounds in PDF maps
       if the map-fg is coloured by altitude
     * added smooth-shading <off/quick> layout switch – quick is the default
     * reimplemented internal processing of patterns and transparent colors in
       MetaPost (incompatible changes: the drawing option 'withtransparentcolor',
       macro 'def_transparent_rgb' and predefined transparent colors tr_bg,
       tr_white, tr_black were removed; use the drawing option
       'withcolor <color> withalpha <number>' instead)

       MetaPost limits; see the chapter Limitations in the Appendix of the Thbook)

       chapters Initialization files and Limitations in the Appendix of the Thbook)
