1Changes in 1.4.19 (2025-12-17):
2
3* aven/survexport: Rework PLT export to use 2 character escapes for spaces
4  and other characters which aren't valid in Compass station names.  We were
5  using 3 character escapes, but that's unhelpful since Compass has a 12
6  character station name limit.
7
8* cavern: The syntax of *instrument commands is now checked and a warning
9  issued for problems.  The information in the command is still not yet used.
10
11* cavern: Improve description of --quiet option.  Reported by Wookey.
12
13* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now always updates DLLs it
14  installs rather than skipping DLLs which declare the same version number.
15  This avoids problems when DLLs change in an upwardly but not downwardly
16  compatible way but keep the same version number.  It also means downgrading
17  now gives an install more like installing the older version from scratch
18  would.  Our DLLs are all private and installed into our own install directory
19  so there are no concerns with breaking other installed software.  Fixes #145.
20  Reported by Footleg and Juan Corrin.
21
22* Fill in some missing Czech translations.
23
24* Update unofficial Inno Setup translations for the installer.
25
26* We now require at least FFmpeg >= 3.2 to build Survex.  This version was
27  released in 2016 so should be easily available everywhere now.
28
29* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop workaround for wx-config --rescomp not
30  working as this has now been fixed in the mingw package of wxWidgets.
31
32* Test suite:
33
34  + Add test coverage for `*data normal` without `clino`.
35
36Changes in 1.4.18 (2025-11-04):
37
38* aven: Fix "Enter" in search control to zoom to results.  This was broken
39  by the switch to wxSearchCtrl in 1.4.17.
40
41* aven: Fix "Find stations" search box width with wxWidgets >= 3.2.7.  Patch
42  https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/15 from Thomas Holder.
43
44* aven: (Microsoft Windows version): Fix sizing of indicators (scalebar,
45  compass, clino, colour key) on HiDPI monitors.  Fixes #144, reported by Juan
46  Corrin.
47
48* aven/survexport: Set UTM zone and datum in exported Compass PLT.
49
50* cavern: Avoid duplicate errors/warnings with unconnected data.  Since 1.4.10,
51  unconnected data is only a warning but that resulted in us running some
52  checks on the survey tree twice, which could result in duplicate
53  errors/warnings.
54
55* cavern: Fix parsing of hex digits in *set.  Hex digits a-f were incorrectly
56  being handled as 0-5, so 0x0a was byte 0 not byte 10.
57
58* cavern: We now track the column as well as file:line where a station or
59  survey name was used, so diagnostics which use these locations now report
60  a column number too.
61
62* cavern: Show context if proj can't convert coords.  We only do this for .svx
63  files currently as it is more complex for Compass and Walls data.
64
65* cavern: Fix reported column for error for `-` for Walls tape field.
66  In this context, Walls requires 2 or more `-` to indicate an omitted field.
67
68* cavern: Compass MAK file parsing improvements:
69
70  + Comments are now skipped.  Previously a commented-out MAK file command
71    would still be interpreted by cavern, which was incorrect.
72
73  + Whitespace handling has been adjusted to more closely match Compass.
74
75  + Unknown commands are now warned about.  Compass seems to quietly ignore
76    unknown commands, but it seems helpful for cavern to report them as it
77    will help identify any bugs in Survex's parsing of MAK files, and any
78    new or undocumented MAK file commands which we don't support.  It can also
79    help detect typos in data entry.
80
81  + We now skip to the closing `;` for unknown commands and commands we
82    ignore as not relevant to us, whereas previously we're just skip the
83    initial character which gives the type of command and then look for
84    another command.  This doesn't seem to make any difference in practice as
85    none of these commands appear to be able to contain text which could be
86    interpreted as a different valid Compass MAK file command.
87
88* (Microsoft Windows version): The toolchain we use to build this version
89  seems to have changed in an unhelpful way.  We've got the build working
90  again, but when aven is launched a black window opens first, then the
91  aven window opens over the top.  The black window stays around until
92  aven is closed.  This extra window doesn't really get in the way of using
93  aven, but it's not supposed to be there.  It doesn't seem to be due to a
94  change in the Survex code as the 1.2.17 build doesn't do this, but a
95  rebuild of 1.2.17 with just the minimum of build system changes does.
96  If you have suitable skills help fixing this would be much appreciated.
97
98* (Microsoft Windows version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, like we
99  already do for Unix.  Unlocked file I/O can be much faster in some cases (we
100  don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file I/O).
101
102* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix compiler warning in wrapaven.c.
103
104* (Microsoft Windows version): Work around wx-config --rescomp no longer
105  working.  The mingw package of wxWidgets has started to return an empty
106  string here.  We don't support building with MSVC, so hardcoding `windres`
107  here isn't really a problem in practice.
108
109* Manual: Document that *set eol default includes x1A (Ctrl-Z) to provide
110  compatibility with old DOS text files (it always has done but was missing
111  from the documentation).
112
113* Merge updates to Russian translation.
114
115* Add the start of a Czech translation.
116
117* Update unofficial Inno Setup translations for the installer.
118
119* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.2.  It is starting to become hard to keep
120  everything working with 3.0.0 and the time and effort seems better directed
121  to other things.  The last 3.0.x release was 3.0.5.1, released 2020-05-02.
122  3.2.0 was released 2022-07-06 and it seems everywhere with wxWidgets packages
123  upgraded to 3.2.x some time ago.
124
125* Test suite:
126
127  + cavern.tst: Test more mixed line ending cases.
128
129  + Turn off tests involving aven and survexport on mingw, as we can no longer
130    seem to run these programs during the build.  Rebuilding the last commit
131    that worked now fails, so this is not due to a change in the Survex code.
132    There is no error message, but bash shows exit code 127 which means it
133    failed to run the command.
134
135  + Improve handling of VERBOSE in tests.  Previously VERBOSE showed output
136    from all testcases, even ones which passed.  Now we only show output from
137    testcases which fail for VERBOSE=1.  Other non-empty values of VERBOSE
138    continue to show all output for cavern.tst and smoke.tst, but have the same
139    effect as VERBOSE=1 for other tests.
140
141  + compare.tst: Fix to actually work, support --help, and allow comparing
142    cavern runs which fail.  This script is not run as part of the automated
143    tests but assists manually comparing two versions of cavern on the same
144    data which can be helpful for debugging and during development.
145
146Changes in 1.4.17 (2025-03-20):
147
148* aven: Add support for exaggerating Z.  You can now set a Z scale factor
149  from 0.1 to 10.0 via a new widget on the toolbar.  Fixes #49.
150
151* aven: The cavern log window now chooses foreground and background colours
152  based on the desktop's light mode/dark mode setting.  Previously it
153  used the default window background colour but always used black text, which
154  made it hard to read with a dark desktop theme.  (The wxWidgets API to detect
155  dark mode is new in 3.2, so if built with wxWidgets 3.0 then we assume
156  light mode.)
157
158* aven: The station search feature now uses the standard search
159  widget on GTK 3.6 or later and on macOS.  There's now a placeholder
160  text shown when there's no search to make it clearer what this
161  widget is for.
162
163* aven: There's currently a cavern bug where it can fail to identify all
164  traverses which are not involved in loop closure, which results in the .3d
165  file contains error information for them (unfortunately this seems tricky to
166  fully fix).  This error information is always zero, so as a workaround aven
167  attempts to detect these so that "colour by error" shows them as "not in
168  loop".  This workaround previously only checked for E being zero, but now
169  H and V are both also required to be zero.  This should help avoid some very
170  low error traverses being incorrectly treated as "not in loop", although in
171  practice I've not yet found a real world case where this actually makes a
172  difference.
173
174* aven: Fix the output encoding of `aven --help`, `--version`, etc.
175  Previously these were always encoded as UTF-8 which is usually right
176  on a modern system, but the terminal could be using a different
177  encoding.
178
179* aven: Reduce startup overhead a little when the terminal has a UTF-8
180  locale (which is now the default on most Linux distros).
181
182* cavern: Fix an "assertion failed" error in some situations when
183  equating to a fixed point.  This bug was introduced by changes
184  in 1.4.13.  Fixes #143, reported by Juan Corrin.
185
186* cavern: The syntax of *copyright commands is now checked and a warning
187  issued for problems.  The information in the command is still not yet used.
188
189* cavern: The syntax of *team commands is now checked and a warning
190  issued for problems.  The information in the command is still not yet used.
191
192* cavern: Stop reporting node stats.  These are kind of interesting, but
193  with the widespread use of Disto-X and similar devices which can easily
194  shoot multiple splay legs from each station means the number of larger order
195  nodes has increased and this information is now quite verbose and any utility
196  it had has substantially declined.  If these statistics are still wanted then
197  they could make a reappearance in the future in aven, with splays excluded
198  when counting the number of legs at each station.  Fixes #86, reported by
199  Wookey.
200
201* cavern: Fix wrong "unused fixed point" warning with *solve.
202
203* cavern: Fix double counting of stations which are referenced both before and
204  after *solve.
205
206* cavern: Suppress loop and component counts if *solve is used.  Our component
207  count was often wrong in this case but this looks very hard to fix.  These
208  counts are not vital so better to omit than report wrong values.
209
210* cavern: The "Equating two equal fixed points" warning now lists the
211  stations on the same order as they are in the `.svx` file which
212  seems clearer.
213
214* Speed up reading and writing of .3d files.  The time to read a large .3d file
215  and just count the stations and legs was more than halved by this change.
216
217* Simplify handling of errors loading the messages file.  The error
218  messages for this case are now stored as separate ASCII strings in
219  the executables which reduces the startup overhead a little as we
220  no longer need to scan them and potentially reencode them.
221
222* img library: The img struct's filename_opened member was always NULL when
223  used outside of Survex (and set but never actually used inside of Survex)
224  so it has been removed.  If you are referencing it in your code then instead
225  use the filename you passed to img_open_survey() when opening the file.
226
227* Documentation: Add details of warning about future dates in *date.
228
229* Documentation: Added new manual chapter on the img library.
230
231* Documentation: Improve comments document API in img.h.
232
233* Testsuite: Add proper test coverage for `*ref`.
234
235* Merge updates to Russian translation from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
236
237* Portability: Eliminate unintended use of a C++17 feature (static_assert
238  with only one argument).
239
240* Portability: Avoid compiler warnings/errors in getopt code by properly
241  declaring getenv().
242
243Changes in 1.4.16 (2025-02-21):
244
245* aven: Improve "Colour by Survey".  Surveys whose names only differ in the
246  final character tended to get visually similar colours (often
247  indistinguishable), but now should get very different colours.  Reported by
248  Eric C. Landgraf and Patrick Warren.
249
250* aven: Add "Find" item to right-click menu on survey tree which triggers a
251  search for the survey or station that was right-clicked on which highlights
252  with a yellow blob on each station, like double-clicking used to before
253  1.2.36.  Requested by Patrick Warren.
254
255* cavern: Fix calculation of convergence which could incorrectly give zero
256  with some PROJ versions < 9.3.0.  Unclear exactly which versions are
257  affected, but seen with PROJ 8.2 and can't affect PROJ >= 9.3.0.  Reported by
258  Eric C. Landgraf.
259
260* cavern: Report approximate true grid convergence range which provides a way
261  to assess if the representative location(s) specified by `*declination auto`
262  are suitable.  Fixes #141, reported by Eric C. Landgraf
263
264* cavern: Support Compass 'C' shot flag.  In Compass this causes flagged legs
265  to not be subject to loop closure.  Survex now sets the SDs of such legs to
266  1mm, so flagged legs can still move slightly during loop closure.  Previously
267  Survex ignore this flag entirely.
268
269* Document Microsoft Windows version requirements.
270
271* Enable SSE2 by default on 32-bit x86.  Intel CPUs without SSE2 were
272  discontinued ~18 years ago so it seems very unlikely anyone is actually still
273  using one for Survex.  We keep hitting testcase failures due to excess
274  precision from 387 FP instructions, and the time spent adjusting testcases to
275  avoid these would be better spent on new features, etc.
276
277* Tighten up charset name parsing a little.
278
279* Merge updates to Russian translation from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
280
281* Various minor improvements to documentation.
282
283* Various minor improvements to test coverage.
284
285Changes in 1.4.15 (2024-12-24):
286
287* aven: Avoid infinite redraw loop if GDAL gives an error loading geodata to
288  overlay.
289
290* aven: Turn off full-screen mode bodges when running on macOS 10.7 or later.
291  Fixes #110
292
293* aven/survexport: (Microsoft Windows version): Enable GDAL support so you
294  can now overlay geodata (in aven) and export shapefiles.
295
296* cavern: Remove now-bogus assertion which can fire when there's a survey not
297  connected to any fixed points (since 1.4.10 made unconnected data a warning
298  instead of an error).  Reported by Philip Balister.
299
300* (Microsoft Windows version): Strip debug data from .exe and .dll files which
301  reduces the installer size by around 5%.
302
303* Testsuite: Normalise -0.00 in DXF bounds too to avoid possible test failures
304  on x86.
305
306Changes in 1.4.14 (2024-12-11):
307
308* aven/survexport: Add support for exporting shapefiles.  This requires GDAL so
309  currently isn't enabled in the Microsoft Windows build.  Thanks to Eric C.
310  Landgraf for testing.  Fixes #87.
311
312* cavern: If *date with just year is followed by a blank, cavern expects a date
313  range and gives an error if another date doesn't follow.  Bug was introduced
314  in 1.4.13.
315
316* aven/cavern: Use ′ and ″ for feet and inches.
317
318* Documentation: Add some details on how to handle Toporobot "serie" station
319  naming.
320
321* Updates to Bulgarian, Hungarian, Russian and Slovak translations.
322
323* Testsuite: Adjust lollipop testcase to pass on i386 where excess precision
324  was changing which station was reported as the southernmost of multiple
325  candidate stations).
326
327Changes in 1.4.13 (2024-12-01):
328
329* aven:
330
331  + Don't show crosses on anonymous stations since they just clutter up the
332    display (especially for anonymous splays).  Suggested by Andrew Atkinson.
333
334  + Fix 1.4.10 regression in plotting of station names.  Each anonymous station
335    was blocking out a small rectangle which no actual station name could
336    overlap.  Reported by Špela Borko.
337
338  + Reduced start-up time by only initialising GDAL if we have overlays to
339    show.
340
341  + (Microsoft Windows version): Avoid recurring "GDAL support not enabled in
342    this build" message box.  This message is now only shown once if you try to
343    add an overlay.  Reported by Špela Borko.
344
345* cavern:
346
347  + Update to use v14 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
348    This was issued in November 2024 and should give slightly more accurate
349    declinations for surveys made since 2015.  Fixes #137.
350
351  + The component count was wrong in some cases, and we calculate the number
352    of loops using this component count, so the loop count would also be wrong
353    by the same amount in these cases.
354
355  + The component count and loop count are now reported when there are
356    unconnected survey stations.
357
358  + *date now supports ISO format dates.  Fixes #96, reported by Milosch.
359
360  + *date now supports date types "surveyed" and "explored" (existing usage
361    without an explicit type is interpreted as "surveyed").
362
363  + If the output directory isn't writable or doesn't exist we would complain
364    that we can't create the .err file - now we try to create the .3d file
365    first so complain about that instead which seems more helpful.  Reported by
366    Eric C. Landgraf.
367
368  + When inventing a fixed point we now avoid picking a fixed point which is
369    only attached to nosurvey legs if there's another option.  The code was
370    already meant to do this but it was buggy and we lacked a testcase for this
371    situation.
372
373  + Survey network reduction now finds some delta-star opportunities which were
374    being overlooked.  This allows more complicated networks to be reduced
375    further so fewer and/or smaller matrices need solving, which is faster.
376
377  + Survey network reduction now handles a "lollipop" with a fixed stick end
378    specially which is a little bit faster.  A more visible consequence is
379    fewer "Solving one equation..." messages when solving a complex survey
380    network.
381
382  + Survey network reduction now makes use of articulating legs to split up the
383    problem a little more, so we will often now solve more but smaller matrices
384    which should be faster.
385
386  + Assigning matrix row numbers now identifies equated stations in a slightly
387    more efficient way.
388
389* dump3d: Provide a way to get ISO format dates output.
390
391* Documentation:
392
393  + Improve documentation of *date in the manual.  When a partial date is
394    specified (just a year, or a year and month only) the documentation claimed
395    the centre of that year or month is used but actually this case is treated
396    as a date range covering the whole year or month (respectively).  The end
397    result is effectively the same as what was previously documented though
398    since the centre of a date range is used as the date for calculating
399    automatic declinations and is the date used by aven.
400
401* Test suite:
402
403  + Adjust hpglexport testcase to avoid i386 excess precision causing one of
404    the HPGL coordinates to differ by one from its value calculated without
405    excess precision.
406
407* Assorted translation updates.
408
409Changes in 1.4.12 (2024-10-23):
410
411* aven:
412
413  + (Microsoft Windows version): Geodata overlays are (hopefully temporarily)
414    no longer available in the pre-built version of Survex installed by the
415    Microsoft Windows installer.  We use the GDAL library to load them and
416    there's a hard to debug problem during DLL initialisation somewhere in its
417    dependency tree.  If you really need geodata overlays, the 1.4.9 installer
418    still works.  Thanks to Wookey for extensive testing to investigate the
419    problem, and to everyone else who reported this.
420
421* cavern:
422
423  + A leg with the same station as from and to is now only a warning in
424    Compass data.  Compass itself seems to quietly ignore such legs, but
425    they seem worth warning about.  In native Survex data this is still
426    an error.
427
428  + Short survey and station names are now stored without an extra memory
429    allocation.  On a 64-bit platform (most modern computers) we can store
430    name components up to 7 characters in this way; on a 32-bit platform
431    up to 3 characters.  On a large dataset which needs large matrices
432    solving this reduces cavern's memory usage by 3.5MB (~4.5%).  It's
433    also fractionally faster (but only ~0.05% which is not normally even
434    measurable).
435
436  + Assigning matrix row numbers to stations is now faster and allocates
437    less memory.
438
439* (Microsoft Windows version): The Microsoft Windows installer is now
440  named `survex-microsoft-windows-1.4.12.exe`.  The old name was
441  `survex-win32-1.4.11.exe` but the "win32" is now misleading as it's been a
442  64-bit build since 1.4.9.  Reported by Wookey.
443
444* Testsuite:
445
446  + dump3d.tst: Add tests of img library's survey filtering.
447
448  + cavern.tst: Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in JSON test output before
449    comparing with expected output.  We can get -0.00 on x86 due to excess
450    precision.
451
452* img library:
453
454  + Survey filtering now works correctly for files which use a survey level
455    separator other than `.`.  Patch https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/14
456    from Thomas Holder.
457
458  + Reading a v7 or earlier .3d format extended elevation with survey filtering
459    was failing to set is_extended_elevation.
460
461Changes in 1.4.11 (2024-08-14):
462
463* aven:
464
465  + Add imperial scales for export and printing.  Fixes #132, reported by Eric
466    C. Landgraf.
467
468* aven/survexport:
469
470  + HPGL export now uses pen 2 for splays and pen 3 for surface legs.  Partly
471    addresses #60.
472
473  + HPGL export now supports scaling (previous the scale was always
474    1:40000).
475
476  + KML export now distinguishes surface legs and splays using different
477    line styles.  Partly addresses #60.
478
479  + Remove Skencil export support.  The last release of Skencil was in 2005.
480    There was an attempt to revive the project in 2010, but that didn't lead to
481    another release and seems to have petered out.  No current Linux distro (or
482    other package system) seems to have Skencil packages, and the current git
483    version still appears to require Python 2 which is being phased out.
484
485* cavern:
486
487  + Support `*data ignore` to allow ignoring a block of survey data lines.
488    Closes #114, reported by Alastair Gott.
489
490  + Report error for bad final reading in `*data` command (previously such a
491    bad reading was quietly ignored).
492
493  + If the survey in `*end` doesn't match that in `*begin` the location of
494    that `*begin` is now reported as well - the second message here is new
495    for example:
496
497     badbegin.svx:6:8: error: Survey name doesn't match BEGIN
498      *end   bar
499             ^~~
500     badbegin.svx:4:13: info: Corresponding BEGIN was here
501      *begin      foo
502                  ^~~
503
504  + Now shows a context line for a reading which was on the previous line,
505    which can happen for interleaved data styles.
506
507  + Warn when a token is not followed by a blank, comment or end of line.
508    This is an unintentional tokenisation oddity which has been present
509    for a really long time.  We don't want to break files that rely on this
510    (even if they likely only do accidentally) so emit a warning rather than
511    an error.
512
513    This warning can easily be eliminated by adding a space where indicated,
514    which will work with old and new Survex versions.  Fixes #135.
515
516  + Errors and warnings which report an unexpected token now report a
517    contiguous span of letters and numbers rather than just letters in cases
518    where a number can't follow (which is the majority of cases).
519
520  + If `*require` isn't satisfied, the `*require` line is now shown for
521    context (especially helpful if there's a comment after the command noting
522    the reason for the requirement, as we now suggest in the manual).
523
524  + `*require` version parsing improved - spaces are no longer tolerated in
525    a version number and trailing junk after the version number is now
526    handled more consistently.
527
528  + Fixed several situations in which the highlighting of the context for a
529    diagnostic was off by a small number of columns.
530
531  + Optimise building of matrix during network solving.
532
533  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files:
534
535    - After reporting an error for an unsupported datum, we now set the datum
536      to WGS84 to prevent triggering further errors from code which tries to
537      use the datum.
538
539    - Parse Walls WPJ commands as alphanumeric rather than alphabetic tokens,
540      which better matches how Walls parses them.  This only makes a difference
541      in the error message when we don't recognise a WPJ command.
542
543* Documentation:
544
545  + Note `feet` are international feet and how to select a different
546    definition in `*units` docs.
547
548  + Document `grads` are also known as "neugrads" and "gons" in `*units` docs.
549
550* Assorted translation updates.
551
552* testsuite:
553
554  + Fix bug in normalisation of `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before
555    comparing with expected output.
556
557* Update and improve vim syntax highlighting:
558
559  + `*cartesian` added
560
561  + `*data ignore` added
562
563  + `mils` units now highlighted as deprecated
564
565  + `UP` and `DOWN` are no longer highlighted anywhere in a command
566
567  + `U`, `D`, `LEVEL`, `-V`, `+V`, `.`, `..` and `...` now highlighted in data
568    lines
569
570  + Repeated `NOT` in `*flags` is now highlighted as an error
571
572  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to not flag an error just
573    because there's a comment after the filename
574
575  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to work when there's
576    whitespace between `*` and `include`
577
578Changes in 1.4.10 (2024-08-05):
579
580* aven:
581
582  + Use a fixed rotation rate for rotating the view to North, South, East or
583    West (shortcut keys `N`, `S`, `E` and `W`).  We were using the same
584    variable rate which auto-rotation does for this case, but really these are
585    just animations to help the user see the change that's happening, so a
586    fixed rate makes more sense (and is what tilting to plan or elevation
587    does).  The new fixed rotation rate for this is double what the default
588    variable rate was, which means the longest rotation (e.g. from S to N)
589    takes 3 seconds rather than 6.
590
591* aven/survexport:
592
593  + Fix syntax of shot flags in PLT export (incorrect since introduced in
594    1.4.6).
595
596  + Map Survex duplicate flag to `L` shot flag in PLT export.
597
598  + Invent shorter names for anonymous stations in PLT export.  The PLT file
599    format documentation says station names can be up to 12 characters, but the
600    ones we generated were longer than this which is liable to trip up
601    consumers of this format that only allow for the specified length.
602    We now generate names using a sequential counter with a two character
603    prefix so they should fit in the 12 character limit for any cave
604    survey.
605
606  + 3D export now includes all leg and station flags.
607
608* cavern:
609
610  + Unconnected survey stations are now handled as a warning, whereas
611    previously this was an error.  This is necessary when processing Walls data
612    where it seems having hanging surveys is the norm, and Walls itself only
613    warns about them.
614
615    The support is also enabled for native Survex data since it allows viewing
616    the connected parts of a survey with missing connections without having to
617    comment out the unconnected parts (and then remember to fully uncomment
618    once connections are surveyed).  Fixes #16, reported by Duncan Collis.
619
620    Currently the component count and loop count are not shown in this case.
621
622  + Avoid multiple reports of an unconnected survey station.  This could happen
623    in some cases where a group of equated stations had more than four legs
624    connected to it.
625
626  + Fix missing report of unconnected survey station.  We aim to report at
627    least one station in every unconnected piece of survey, but if a piece had
628    been simplified to a single station which was anonymous (e.g. a disto splay
629    shot) then we wouldn't report anything for that piece.  Now we find the
630    traverse that was attached to it and report the next station along that
631    traverse.
632
633  + Report file and line location each unconnected survey station.
634
635  + This warning now says either `*entrance` or `*export` depending on which
636    it actually was:
637
638      Station "bar.1" referred to by *entrance or *export but never used
639
640  + Fix several cases of mishandling comments without blanks before them:
641
642    - After an anonymous station.
643
644    - After an ignored reading.  The `ignore` would incorrectly also skip the
645      comment character and any characters which followed up to the next blank
646      or end of line.
647
648    - In a `*alias` command.
649
650    - Diagnostic highlighting could continue into a comment.
651
652  + New `*cartesian` command which supports different orientations of
653    `cartesian` style data.
654
655  + Anonymous stations are now supported in `cartesian` style data.
656
657  + `*fix a reference` (without any coordinates) is now an error.  The
658    `reference` token provides a way to have a list of known fixed points which
659    are not expected to all be currently used, while omitting the coordinates
660    provides a way to specify a point to arbitrarily fix rather than rely on
661    cavern picking one.  Allowing both together doesn't really make sense.
662
663  + Improve check for 180° backclino to suppress the warning about a compass
664    reading on a plumbed leg (introduced in 1.4.8) to allow a small tolerance
665    on the value.  Previously the check wasn't working on x86 Linux for
666    example.
667
668  + When showing a line as the location of a diagnostic we now render any
669    tab character as a single space which means the `^~~~~` highlight length
670    is now correct even when the highlighted part contains tabs.  This only
671    affects use from a terminal as the highlight was already correctly handled
672    when viewing the log in aven.
673
674  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files (thanks to Eric
675    C. Landgraf and Joe for a lot of great feedback from testing with large
676    datasets):
677
678    - The `RECT=` option is now fully supported.
679
680    - Fix `#DATE` with an active `.REF` to act like `DECL=`.  This matches what
681      the documentation says and what Walls seems to actually do.
682
683    - Allow completely omitting the clino on a wall shot (with `ORDER=DAV` or
684      `ORDER=ADV`).
685
686    - Resolve WPJ `.PATH` relative to innermost containing book.
687
688    - Handle an empty Walls station name.  Walls allows a station with an
689      explicit prefix to have an empty name, e.g. `PEP:`.  The Walls
690      documentation doesn't mention this, though it also doesn't explicitly say
691      the name can't be empty.  This quirk seems unlikely to be intentionally
692      used and Survex doesn't allow an empty station name, so we issue a
693      warning and use the name `empty name` (which has a space in, so can't
694      collide with a real Walls station name which can't contain a space) - so
695      `PEP:` in Walls becomes `PEP.empty name` in Survex.
696
697    - Flag stations with explicit Walls prefix as exported.
698
699    - Fix setting empty Walls macro with a comment right after it.
700
701    - Walls quietly ignores junk after the numeric argument in `TYPEAB=`,
702      `TYPEVB=`, `UV=`, `UVH=`, and `UVV=`.  This seems to be an undocumented
703      feature/bug so Survex emits a warning and skips the junk.
704
705    - After an unknown Walls option we now process the rest of the line.
706      Previously we were skipping the rest of the line.
707
708    - We no longer skip the rest of the line after a bad Walls `ORDER=` option.
709
710    - Correct the reported column for some Walls option diagnostics.
711
712    - Support explicit units on Walls clino readings.
713
714    - Allow `#` in Walls station names.  This is explicitly documented as not
715      allowed, but the documentation doesn't match the implementation and `#`
716      is present in some real-world data.
717
718    - Improve handling of Walls `RESTORE` error.  Highlight the position in the
719      line and don't skip the rest of the line.
720
721    - Don't warn about `INCH=` with a zero argument since that's the one case
722      of it we do handle!
723
724    - Fix not to skip the rest of the line after Walls `INCH=` option.
725      We currently don't support `INCH=` so we warn about it, but we were
726      skipping the rest of the line, then trying to read and discard the
727      argument to `INCH=` which gave an error.
728
729    - Relax handling of Walls `CASE=`.  It's not documented, but Walls32.exe
730      quietly treats unknown values as "Mixed".
731
732    - Support DM and DMS format for latitude and longitude in Walls `#FIX`,
733      e.g. `W97:43.875` and `W97:43:52.5` .
734
735    - Treat a zero length leg with finite variance like a Survex `*equate`.
736
737    - Apply Walls variance overrides to survey legs.
738
739    - The optional instrument and target heights are now parsed, but their
740      values are currently ignored.
741
742    - The delimiters around LRUD data are now parsed, but the LRUD data between
743      them is currently ignored.
744
745    - If a `#SEGMENT` value looks like a set of Compass shot flags (i.e.
746      consists only of upper case characters from `CLPSX`, optionally prefixed
747      with a `/` or `\`) then we interpret them as Compass shot flags (except
748      that `X` is mapped the same way as `L`).  This is apparently a common way
749      to use `#SEGMENT`, and unlikely to be triggered accidentally.
750
751    - Avoid a doubled directory separator when building Walls path names.
752
753* documentation:
754
755  + The manual has been converted from DocBook to reStructured Text.  The
756    plain-text format is much easier for making changes, and for users the
757    output from sphinx looks nicer and has extra features (like built-in
758    "Quick search" in the HTML output).
759
760    The plain text version of the manual is no longer generated.  Sphinx can
761    produce one but the .rst sources actually seem more readable for anyone
762    wanting to read the manual in plain text.
763
764    The extra targets to generate the manual in RTF and PostScript
765    have been dropped as I doubt they are still used (we stopped
766    providing them on the website years ago).  They could probably be
767    reinstated if there's a demand for them.
768
769    The conversion was partly automated followed by a full pass over the
770    result fixing issues with the automated conversion.  We took the
771    opportunity to also review the content and update or remove out of
772    date and other incorrect information, and to reorder some of the content.
773
774  + Document all the statistics in the `.err` file
775
776  + Document PLT export.
777
778  + Minor improvements to --help output
779
780  + The HTML version of the 1.4.9 manual was missing the Walls chapter
781    and had messed up paging links around it (due to the new CMAP chapter
782    accidentally also being given the filename `walls.htm`).  Reported by Eric
783    C. Landgraf.
784
785  + Document we don't enforce Walls' station or prefix length limits.
786
787  + Document handling of Walls `#NOTE`.
788
789  + Fix documentation of Walls `FLAG=` which is correctly handled, not skipped.
790
791  + Document how to compare Walls and Survex output via Shapefile.
792
793  + Document how to suppress unused fixed point warning in Walls SRV.
794
795* testsuite:
796
797  + Add testcase for Walls `#units order=da`.
798
799  + Add expected output for more testcases
800
801  + Add testcase for exporting .3d files.
802
803  + Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before comparing to avoid bogus
804    test failures due to excess precision on x86 when using 387 FP
805    instructions.
806
807  + Add test of DXF export with full coordinates.
808
809* translations:
810
811  + Diagnostics can now use positional arguments which sometimes allows a
812    more natural word order in a translated message.
813
814Changes in 1.4.9 (2024-07-04):
815
816* aven:
817
818  + Support showing geodata overlays in Aven.  We use the GDAL library to load
819    the data, so this should work for any format which GDAL supports so long as
820    it can be read from the filing system and is geo-referenced vector data -
821    see https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html for a list.  Currently the
822    dialog to select a file defaults to showing GPX, KML, GeoJSON and shape
823    files - set the filter to "All Files" to choose other formats.
824
825  + Reimplement display of cavern output.  The old version turned the log into
826    HTML and displayed it using wxHtmlWindow, but that adds a lot of overhead
827    and is especially inefficient if there are many diagnostics - cavern could
828    finish almost instantly yet aven could take many seconds to process the
829    output.  The new version renders directly from the log data.  It should
830    have most of the features from before - the only missing feature I'm
831    currently aware of is that you can't now select and copy text from the log
832    window, which wxHtmlWindow provided for free.  If people miss this feature,
833    we could add it to the new implementation.
834
835  + (Microsoft Windows version): Clicks in the cavern log window which load
836    files into an editor now protect the filename if it starts with a dash
837    to prevent it being interpreted as a command line option.  We already
838    do this for other platforms, but weren't on Microsoft Windows on the
839    assumption that it isn't needed because the filenames will be fully
840    qualified, but that may not be the case if aven if run by hand from the
841    command line or from some other launcher.
842
843* cavern:
844
845  + Add support for processing Walls format survey data (.SRV and .WPJ files).
846    This support is somewhat experimental but at a point where it seems useful
847    to make it easier for people to try out.  See the manual for a list of
848    known shortcomings.  Thanks to Eric C. Landgraf for a lot of testing and
849    encouragement.
850
851  + Fix bug with Compass DAT diving data.  If a survey uses the depth gauge
852    then since 1.4.6 we set its style to "diving", but we weren't clearing that
853    so all surveys after that in the same DAT file were also set as "diving".
854
855  + When parsing of Compass DAT files we report errors in more cases if the
856    input doesn't conform to the format we expect, rather than potentially
857    quietly misinterpreting the data.
858
859  + *entrance now suppresses "Unused fixed point" warning.  This warning is
860    intended to catch typos, which is much less likely for a station named
861    twice.  It's also reasonable to use only *fix and *entrance on a station at
862    the entrance of an unsurveyed cave.
863
864  + Highlight plumbed clino readings fully in diagnostics.  Now the full reading
865    is highlighted instead of just the first character.
866
867  + Report location of previous fix after "already fixed" error/warning.
868
869  + Use "info" diagnostic category for "Originally entered here" message.  This
870    is more logical as the original *begin isn't something to be warned about,
871    only the reentering is.  This was only a warning before because we didn't
872    used to have "info" diagnostics.
873
874  + Use "info" diagnostic category for message about not reporting further
875    uses of a deprecated feature.  Previously this was a warning, but the newer
876    "info" category is more appropriate here.
877
878  + The message about inventing a fixed point is now an "info" diagnostic which
879    allows us to report a location which is where that station is defined,
880    which may be useful to the user.
881
882  + Make highlighting position in error reporting more robust.  We no longer
883    try to highIight if we calculate a negative column offset, when previously
884    we would print billions of spaces.  As far as I know this has never
885    happened in a released version.
886
887  + Error messages which report the program name now remove any ".exe" suffix.
888    This helps the testsuite by making the expected output the same
889    cross-platform, but also seems slightly nicer for users.
890
891* dump3d:
892
893  + The timestamp reported by DATE_NUMERIC is now printed portably.  Previously
894    we were assuming that a time_t is the same size as a long int, which is not
895    true on all platforms.
896
897* manual:
898
899  + (Microsoft Windows version): Update information about installation
900    with/without admin rights.
901
902  + Summarise support for reading CMAP data and its assumptions and
903    limitations.
904
905  + Mention Compass, Walls and CMAP support in the importing data howto
906    section.
907
908  + Drop mention of Rosetta Stal from the manual.  The referred to link from
909    our website was removed in 2015 because Rosetta Stal hadn't been updated
910    for 13.5 years at that point.  Now the domain it was available from has
911    lapsed and is a domain squatter "for sale" page.
912
913* img library:
914
915  + The coordinates in CMAP data are in feet but we were dividing rather
916    than multiplying by the conversion factor to get metres so all
917    coordinates were about 10.76 times too large.
918
919  + Stations in CMAP "station" variant XYZ files are now flagged as
920    underground (as they always have been for "shot" variant XYZ files).
921
922  + When reading CMAP XYZ files, we no longer emit duplicate img_LABEL for
923    stations in loops.
924
925  + A CMAP XYZ file without a survey title is now handled correctly (this was
926    reporting a bogus "Out of memory" error).
927
928  + The img.h header now defines constants IMG_VERSION_SURVEX_POS, etc for the
929    values reported in the version field for non-.3d formats.
930
931  + (Microsoft Windows version): Workaround limitation of Microsoft's C
932    library so we handle dates before 1970 in Compass PLT files, CMAP XYZ
933    files, and older format .3d files.  Previously these were reported
934    as "unknown date".
935
936* We now support overriding the location of support files by setting the
937  SURVEXLIB environment variable.  We no longer look at the srcdir
938  environment variable for this.
939
940* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created automatically
941  on Github actions, which has required a few changes.  It now packages a
942  64-bit build, and is created with Innosetup 6.3.2 which no longer supports
943  Vista.  The installer is also now significantly larger, which is mostly
944  because we now need to include a large number of DLLs, most of which are
945  dependencies of the mingw64 FFmpeg and GDAL packages.
946
947* (Microsoft Windows version): If the directory where we expect the PROJ
948  support files to be does not exist for some reason we now avoid triggering
949  a segmentation fault in PROJ.
950
951* Build system:
952
953  + The GDAL library is now required to build Survex.
954
955  + (Microsoft Windows version): The probe for GL and GLU libraries now also
956    checks for Microsoft's non-standard library names.
957
958  + Correct configure --help output for --enable-werror for which the default
959    is actually "no" rather than "maintainer-mode".
960
961* testsuite:
962
963  + aven.tst: Skip a testcase when running on mingw as it seems to hang there.
964    We already skip this testcase on macos for what appears to be the same
965    problem.
966
967  + Fix comparison of output to work on platforms using DOS line endings.
968
969Changes in 1.4.8 (2024-04-23):
970
971* cavern:
972
973  + The warning for a compass reading on a plumbed leg was already suppressed
974    for a compass or backcompass reading of 0, but is now also suppressed for a
975    backcompass of 180° (or equivalent) which seems to be common in some Compass
976    datasets, but also seems sensible generally.  Thanks to Simeon Warner for
977    sharing some data which triggered such warnings.
978
979  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name is now also
980    emitted in the case where a name was used first for a station, and then as
981    a survey on an explicitly prefixed name.  Closes
982    https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4, reported by Thomas Holder.
983
984  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name now highlights
985    the problematic name within the line shown for context.
986
987  + Fix the reported token string reported by some errors with readings.  This
988    happened to work on at least x86-64 Linux, but the code was invalid and
989    failed on some architectures.
990
991* Fix to build with newer FFmpeg versions.
992
993* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now offers the choice to install
994  for just the current user, which allows installing Survex without admin
995  rights.
996
997* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix problems with valid coordinate systems being
998  rejected and aven's cavern log window not showing output.  Reported by
999  Peter Mašič, Špela Borko, Răzvan Dumbravă and detrito.  Thanks especially to
1000  Špela Borko for a lot of testing to help track down the cause.
1001
1002Changes in 1.4.7 (2024-04-07):
1003
1004* cavern:
1005
1006  + When using *declination auto we report the range of calculated declinations
1007    for each location specified.  After doing this we now reset the range
1008    information we're tracking.  Previously we'd misreport the range for
1009    the second and subsequent locations.
1010
1011  + Avoid undefined behaviour on handling filename fallback for filenames
1012    containing non-ASCII characters.
1013
1014  + Show context line with relevant item highlighted for more errors and
1015    warnings.
1016
1017  + The dynamic string handling routines are now more efficient.
1018
1019  + Fix memory leak if a Compass MAK file opens folders it doesn't close.
1020
1021  + Fix handling of clino-less legs in Compass DAT.  These would cause cavern
1022    to fail with a lot of "NaN" messages.  Now they're treated as having a zero
1023    clino with a standard deviation based on the leg length, just like in .svx
1024    files.
1025
1026* img library:
1027
1028  + Compass PLT: Treat LRUD readings > 900 as omitted readings, which matches
1029    what Compass does.  Thanks to Larry Fish for clarifying this.
1030
1031  + Avoid undefined behaviour after realloc().  We were adjusting a pointer
1032    within the reallocated block by subtracting the old block address and
1033    adding on the new one.  Technically this is undefined behaviour, although
1034    in practice it seems likely it'll work and we've not seen misbehaviour due
1035    to it.  However it's easy to avoid by calculating the offset before the
1036    realloc().
1037
1038* Portability:
1039
1040  + Provide prototype for getopt() to avoid warnings with very recent compiler
1041    versions.
1042
1043  + Avoid using sprintf(), which now triggers warnings on some platforms.
1044
1045* Build system:
1046
1047  + Add configure --enable-werror option to turn compiler warnings into errors.
1048
1049* Manual:
1050
1051  + Expand details of Compass MAK CRS support.
1052
1053  + Replace very out of date information about binary RPM packages.
1054
1055* Minor translation updates.
1056
1057* (Microsoft Windows version): Now uses PROJ 9.3.0 and ships all of the
1058  ancillary files that PROJ comes with.  Hoping this fixes use of coordinate
1059  system EPSG:3912 failing, which was reported by Peter Mašič but I've not
1060  managed to reproduce.
1061
1062Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-03-07):
1063
1064* cavern:
1065
1066  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
1067    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
1068    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
1069    mailing list.
1070
1071  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
1072    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
1073    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
1074    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
1075
1076  + When opening a file, cavern has fallback handling if the file isn't found
1077    to help people processing datasets from platforms with case-insensitive
1078    file systems.  Previously cavern would fold the filename to lowercase and
1079    retry.  Now if this fails, it will also try the lower case version but
1080    with the initial character of the leaf in upper case, and finally folding
1081    the whole specified filename to upper case.
1082
1083  + Dynamically pick a suitable level separator character and store it in .3d
1084    file, instead of it being hard-coded to '.' (we still use '.' unless it
1085    has been *set as a "name" character, or for Compass DAT/MAK files unless it
1086    has been used in a station name).  This is a step towards addressing the
1087    situations raised by Thomas Holder in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4
1088    and https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/5 .
1089
1090  + Compass DAT files:
1091
1092    - The shot flag S is now understood to indicate a splay.
1093
1094    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
1095      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
1096      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
1097      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
1098      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
1099      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
1100
1101    - Surveys which indicate a depth gauge was used for azimuth readings are
1102      now marked as STYLE_DIVING in the 3d file.
1103
1104    - Compass and clino corrections are now implemented for backsights.
1105
1106    - The tape correction in Compass DAT files is now handled correctly.  The
1107      specified value is in feet, but cavern was incorrectly treating it as
1108      being in metres.
1109
1110    - We now handle the newer 15 character "FORMAT:" encoding.  Previously
1111      cavern wouldn't detect when there were backsights in this case.
1112
1113    - We now treat survey date January 1st 1901 as "no date specified" since
1114      this is the date Compass stores in this situation, and it seems very
1115      unlikely to occur in real data.
1116
1117    - In Compass DAT files a dummy zero-length leg from a station to itself is
1118      used to provide a place to specify LRUD for the start or end of a
1119      traverse (depending if dimensions are measured at the from or to
1120      station), and so we no longer issue a warning about equating a station to
1121      itself for DAT files.
1122
1123  + Compass MAK files:
1124
1125    - The base location command is now understood.  This is how Compass
1126      specifies a location to calculate magnetic declination at, and we
1127      now handle this like Survex's native "*declination auto X Y Z".
1128
1129    - Survex uses the specified UTM zone and datum provided the combination can
1130      be expressed as an EPSG code (lack of any EPSG codes for a datum suggests
1131      it's obsolete; lack of a code for a particular datum+zone combination
1132      suggests the zone is outside of the defined area of use of the datum).
1133      Example Compass files we've seen use "North American 1927" outside of
1134      where it's defined for use, presumably because some users fail to change
1135      the datum from Compass' default.  To enable reading such files we return
1136      a PROJ4 string of the form "+proj=utm ..." for "North American 1927" and
1137      "North American 1983" for UTM zones which don't have an EPSG code.
1138      Please let us know if support for additional cases which aren't currently
1139      supported would be useful to you.
1140
1141    - Folder commands are now understood.
1142
1143    - Flag fixed stations as entrances.  Experimentation with Compass shows
1144      this is how it treats them ("distance from entrance" in a .DAT file
1145      counts from 0 at these points).
1146
1147  + We now support reading Compass CLP files.  These are very like DAT files,
1148    except they contain loop-closed data.  You might find this useful if you
1149    want to keep existing stations at the same adjusted positions Compass gave
1150    (for example to be able to draw extensions on an existing drawn-up survey),
1151    or if the original DAT file has been lost but you still have the CLP file.
1152
1153* aven:
1154
1155  + Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
1156    Philip Balister.
1157
1158  + Split the filters for DAT and MAK files in the File->Open drop down list.
1159    It seems more likely you'd want to see one type or the other, not both
1160    together.
1161
1162* aven/survexport:
1163
1164  + Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
1165
1166  + .json,.kml: Enable export of surface legs.  Currently surface and
1167    underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats when both
1168    are enabled.
1169
1170  + .3d: The coordinate system is now set.
1171
1172  + .svg: Equated stations now get their correct names in the id attribute
1173    of <circle> tags.  Previously one of the names would be repeated for
1174    all of a set of equated stations.
1175
1176  + .plt:
1177
1178    - Anonymous stations previously resulted in an empty name in the PLT
1179      file.  This isn't explicitly disallowed by the PLT format description,
1180      but Compass' viewer gives an error for such lines.  Now we invent names
1181      by encoding the station coordinates which should be unique.
1182
1183    - The S shot flag is now set for splays, and the P shot flag (hide from
1184      plotting) is set for surface legs (which matches the use suggested in the
1185      Compass docs).
1186
1187* img library:
1188
1189  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
1190    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
1191    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
1192    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
1193    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
1194    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
1195    default).
1196
1197  + Improve Compass PLT support (many of these are Compass features added
1198    since Survex's support for Compass was originally added):
1199
1200    - Survey dates are now handled fully.  We treat survey date January 1st
1201      1901 as "no date specified" since this is the date Compass stores in this
1202      situation, and it seems very unlikely to occur in real data.
1203
1204    - LRUD data is now translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END.
1205
1206    - We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE for stations where the "Distance From
1207      Entrance" field is present and zero.
1208
1209    - The shot flag L is now translated to img_FLAG_DUPLICATE.
1210
1211    - The shot flag S is now translated to img_FLAG_SPLAY.  A station at the
1212      far end of a shot flagged S gets img_SFLAG_WALL set since the Compass PLT
1213      format specification says:
1214
1215          The shot is a "splay" shot, which is a shot from a station to the
1216          wall to define the passage shape.
1217
1218    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
1219      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
1220      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
1221      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
1222      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
1223      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
1224
1225    - The d plot command is now supported (previously img failed to parse
1226      PLT files using this command) - it's like D but implies the P shot flag.
1227
1228    - If a PLT file only uses one datum and it is "WGS 1984" then the UTM zone
1229      is converted to the appropriate EPSG code and this is reported as the
1230      coordinate system.  Other datums could be handled, but the mapping to
1231      EPSG code is less simple.  Also it seems Compass supports at least
1232      24 datums but it doesn't document all the strings it uses for them.
1233      Files with multiple datums could be handled too, but we'd need to convert
1234      coordinates to a common coordinate system in the img library, which would
1235      need it to depend on PROJ.  Please let us know if support for more and/or
1236      mixed datums would be useful to you.
1237
1238    - Duplicate img_LABEL items are no longer returned - this used to happen
1239      for stations where more than two shots met within a single survey.
1240
1241    - We now infer img_SFLAG_EXPORTED for any station that appears in more
1242      than one survey in the PLT file.
1243
1244    - We now set flag img_SFLAG_FIXED for any station which is listed as
1245      a fixed point in the PLT file.
1246
1247    - If there's only one non-empty section name in a PLT file and we aren't
1248      filtering by survey, we now report that section name as the title.  If
1249      there are multiple different non-empty section names, we still report the
1250      basename of the file as before.  If we're filtering by survey, we report
1251      the comment for that survey as before.
1252
1253    - Fix bug handling PLT with omitted LRUD.  The format specification
1254      documents that LRUD may be omitted, though it seems Compass never
1255      actually omits it and at least some versions of Compass failed to handle
1256      it being omitted too.
1257
1258* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
1259
1260* manual:
1261
1262  + Document Compass support in detail.
1263
1264  + Improve NATO mils example.
1265
1266* INSTALL:
1267
1268  + Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by Andrew
1269    Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
1270
1271  + Document the requirement for a C99 compiler for building from source.
1272    We made this a requirement in 1.4.2, but only noted it in NEWS.
1273
1274* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1275
1276* Replace references to "libav" with "FFmpeg" since the libav project seems to
1277  now be defunct, and we've always supported using either.
1278
1279* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros and drop
1280  probes for features that we can safely assume now we require a C99 compiler
1281  and workarounds for obsolete platforms.
1282
1283* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
1284
1285Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
1286
1287* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
1288
1289* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
1290  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
1291
1292* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
1293
1294* Minor translation updates.
1295
1296Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
1297
1298* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
1299  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
1300
1301* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
1302  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
1303  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
1304  checks that were rejecting this.
1305
1306  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
1307  really do that's better than that.
1308
1309  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
1310
1311* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
1312  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
1313  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
1314  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
1315  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
1316
1317* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
1318  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
1319
1320* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
1321  bearing spin control.
1322
1323* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
1324  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
1325  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
1326  currently but please report issues.
1327
1328* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
1329  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
1330  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
1331  position".
1332
1333* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
1334  Reported by echarlie
1335
1336* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
1337
1338Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
1339
1340* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
1341
1342* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
1343  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
1344
1345* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
1346  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
1347
1348* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
1349  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
1350
1351* Minor translation updates.
1352
1353* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
1354  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
1355  works on Wayland).
1356
1357* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
1358  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
1359
1360* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
1361
1362* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
1363  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
1364  Requested by Martin Budaj.
1365
1366Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
1367
1368* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
1369
1370* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
1371
1372* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
1373  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
1374
1375* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
1376  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
1377  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
1378  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
1379
1380* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
1381  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
1382  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1383
1384* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
1385  string properly.
1386
1387* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
1388  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
1389  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
1390  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
1391  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
1392  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
1393  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
1394
1395* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
1396  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
1397
1398  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
1399
1400* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
1401  where the included filename is actually specified.
1402
1403* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
1404  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
1405
1406* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
1407  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
1408  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
1409
1410* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
1411  running on the Continuous Integration system.
1412
1413* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
1414  newer version of Innosetup.  This means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the
1415  minimum supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support
1416  anyway.
1417
1418* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
1419  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
1420
1421* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1422
1423* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
1424  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
1425  inconvenience anyone.
1426
1427Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
1428
1429* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
1430
1431* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
1432  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
1433  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
1434  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
1435
1436* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
1437  in 1.4.0.
1438
1439* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
1440
1441Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
1442
1443* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
1444  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
1445  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
1446  Couwenberg.
1447
1448  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
1449  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
1450  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
1451  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
1452
1453  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
1454  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
1455
1456* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
1457  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
1458  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
1459
1460* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
1461  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
1462  strings is strongly discouraged.
1463
1464  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
1465
1466  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
1467
1468  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
1469  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
1470
1471* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
1472  Green.
1473
1474* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
1475  echarlie.
1476
1477* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
1478  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
1479  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
1480
1481* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
1482
1483* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
1484
1485* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
1486
1487* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
1488
1489* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
1490  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
1491  stations not attached to a fixed point.
1492
1493Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
1494
1495* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
1496  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
1497  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
1498  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
1499  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
1500
1501* aven:
1502
1503  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
1504    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
1505    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
1506    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
1507    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
1508    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
1509
1510* testsuite:
1511
1512  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
1513    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
1514    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
1515    process exits.
1516
1517* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
1518
1519Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
1520
1521* aven:
1522
1523  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
1524
1525* cavern:
1526
1527  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
1528
1529  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
1530    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
1531    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
1532
1533  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
1534    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
1535    until the next *data command with parameters.
1536
1537  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
1538    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
1539
1540  * Improve test coverage.
1541
1542* survexport:
1543
1544  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
1545    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
1546
1547  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
1548    Batista.
1549
1550* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
1551  Holder.
1552
1553* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
1554  from Thomas Holder.
1555
1556* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
1557  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
1558
1559* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
1560
1561* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1562
1563* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
1564
1565* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
1566
1567* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
1568
1569Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
1570
1571* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
1572  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
1573  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
1574
1575* aven:
1576
1577  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
1578    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
1579    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
1580
1581  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
1582    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
1583    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
1584    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
1585
1586  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
1587    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
1588    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
1589
1590  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
1591
1592Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
1593
1594* aven:
1595
1596  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
1597
1598  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
1599    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
1600    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
1601
1602  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
1603    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
1604    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
1605    orientation.
1606
1607* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
1608  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
1609  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
1610  Richard Knapp.
1611
1612* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
1613  might still need to use them for.
1614
1615* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
1616
1617* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
1618
1619* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
1620  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
1621  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
1622  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
1623
1624* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
1625  is now the recommended approach.
1626
1627Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
1628
1629* aven:
1630
1631  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1632    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
1633    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
1634    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
1635    Brian Clipstone.
1636
1637  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
1638    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
1639
1640Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
1641
1642* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
1643  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
1644  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
1645
1646* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
1647  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
1648  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
1649  with some compilers.
1650
1651* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
1652  installed.
1653
1654Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
1655
1656* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
1657  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
1658  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
1659
1660* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
1661  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
1662  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
1663
1664* aven:
1665
1666  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
1667    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
1668    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
1669    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
1670    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
1671    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
1672    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
1673    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
1674    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
1675    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
1676    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
1677
1678  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
1679
1680* Documentation:
1681
1682  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
1683
1684  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
1685    placeholder.
1686
1687  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
1688    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
1689
1690* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
1691  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
1692  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
1693
1694* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
1695  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
1696  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
1697  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
1698  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
1699  location to avoid confusion.
1700
1701* Add a few more message translations.
1702
1703* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
1704
1705Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
1706
1707* cavern:
1708
1709  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
1710    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
1711    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
1712    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
1713    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
1714
1715  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
1716    now reports "file not found" instead.
1717
1718  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
1719    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
1720    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
1721
1722* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
1723
1724* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
1725  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
1726  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
1727  removed.
1728
1729* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
1730  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
1731  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
1732  information.  Patch from James Begley.
1733
1734Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
1735
1736* aven:
1737
1738  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
1739    controllable.
1740
1741  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1742
1743  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
1744    Patch from Robert Jones.
1745
1746  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
1747    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
1748    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
1749
1750  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
1751    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
1752
1753* cavern:
1754
1755  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
1756    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
1757
1758  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
1759    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
1760    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
1761    go unnoticed.
1762
1763* survexport:
1764
1765  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
1766    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
1767    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
1768
1769  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
1770    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
1771    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
1772    Stephen Crabtree.
1773
1774* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1775
1776* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
1777  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
1778
1779* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
1780  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
1781  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
1782  therion's team command.
1783
1784Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
1785
1786* aven:
1787
1788  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
1789
1790  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
1791    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
1792    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
1793    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
1794    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
1795    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
1796    for new entrances.
1797
1798  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
1799    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
1800    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
1801    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
1802
1803  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
1804
1805  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
1806    to show via the right-click menu.
1807
1808  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
1809    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
1810    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
1811    child surveys of the parent.
1812
1813  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
1814    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
1815    survey.
1816
1817  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
1818    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
1819
1820  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
1821
1822  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
1823    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
1824
1825  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
1826    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
1827    filtering this matters more).
1828
1829* survexport:
1830
1831  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
1832    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
1833
1834  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
1835
1836* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
1837
1838* Minor translation updates.
1839
1840* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
1841
1842* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
1843
1844* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
1845
1846Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
1847
1848* aven:
1849
1850  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
1851    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
1852    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
1853    on screen, printed and exported.
1854
1855  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
1856    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
1857    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
1858    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
1859    survey.
1860
1861  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
1862    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
1863    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
1864    view.  Reported by Wookey.
1865
1866  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
1867    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
1868    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
1869
1870  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
1871    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
1872
1873  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
1874    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
1875
1876  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
1877    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
1878
1879  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
1880    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
1881
1882  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
1883    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
1884
1885* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
1886  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
1887  tools could do, plus much more.
1888
1889* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
1890
1891* Minor updates to various other translations.
1892
1893* img library:
1894
1895  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
1896
1897  + Improve API documentation.
1898
1899* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
1900  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
1901  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
1902
1903* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
1904  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
1905  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
1906  control what gets exported.
1907
1908Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
1909
1910* aven:
1911
1912  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1913    of 1.2.33.
1914
1915  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
1916
1917Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
1918
1919* aven:
1920
1921  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
1922    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
1923    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
1924    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
1925
1926  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
1927    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
1928    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
1929    Erin Lynch.
1930
1931  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
1932    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
1933    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
1934
1935  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
1936    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
1937    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
1938    unnecessarily.
1939
1940  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
1941    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
1942    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
1943    for this control).
1944
1945  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
1946    under GTK3.
1947
1948  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
1949    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
1950    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
1951
1952  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
1953    current development version).
1954
1955  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
1956    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
1957    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
1958
1959* cavern:
1960
1961  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
1962    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
1963    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
1964    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
1965    "19".
1966
1967* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
1968  Evaristo Quiroga.
1969
1970* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1971
1972* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
1973  milosch.
1974
1975* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
1976  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
1977  translated messages.
1978
1979* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
1980  Indonesian and Polish.
1981
1982* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
1983  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
1984  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1985
1986* Fix a few compiler warnings.
1987
1988* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
1989  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
1990  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
1991
1992* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
1993
1994  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
1995    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
1996    but happens to fail if it isn't.
1997
1998  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
1999
2000  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
2001
2002  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
2003
2004* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
2005  detected at run time on macOS.
2006
2007* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
2008  by the homebrew formula.
2009
2010* buildmacosx.sh:
2011
2012  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
2013    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
2014
2015  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
2016
2017* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
2018  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
2019
2020Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
2021
2022* aven:
2023
2024  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
2025    and Anthony Day.
2026
2027  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
2028    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
2029    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
2030    Erin Lynch in #89.
2031
2032  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
2033    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
2034    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
2035    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
2036    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
2037    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
2038    elevations.
2039
2040  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
2041    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
2042    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
2043
2044  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
2045    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
2046    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
2047    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
2048    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
2049    "on".
2050
2051  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
2052    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
2053
2054  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
2055    the display wouldn't update right away.
2056
2057* Manual:
2058
2059  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
2060
2061  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
2062
2063* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
2064  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
2065  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
2066  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
2067  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
2068
2069Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
2070
2071* aven:
2072
2073  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
2074    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
2075    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
2076
2077  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
2078    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
2079    before by others.
2080
2081  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
2082
2083  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
2084    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
2085    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
2086    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
2087    original change.
2088
2089  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
2090    which extends beyond the end of the line).
2091
2092  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
2093    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
2094
2095  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
2096
2097  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
2098
2099  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
2100    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
2101    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
2102    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
2103    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
2104    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
2105    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
2106
2107  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
2108    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
2109
2110  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
2111    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
2112    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
2113
2114  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
2115    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
2116    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
2117    much vertical range.
2118
2119  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
2120    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
2121    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
2122    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
2123    are drawn in this way.
2124
2125  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
2126    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
2127    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
2128    centre should be a single pixel.
2129
2130* cavern:
2131
2132  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
2133    entering passage data where there are side passages.
2134
2135  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
2136    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
2137
2138  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
2139    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
2140    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
2141    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
2142
2143  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
2144    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
2145    Reported by Erin Lynch.
2146
2147  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
2148    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
2149    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
2150    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
2151
2152  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
2153    other messages.
2154
2155* extend:
2156
2157  + Now runs a bit faster.
2158
2159  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
2160    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
2161    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
2162    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
2163    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
2164    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
2165    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
2166    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
2167    be handled better) most welcome.
2168
2169* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
2170
2171* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
2172
2173* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
2174  translations from therion.
2175
2176* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
2177  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
2178
2179* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
2180  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
2181  Footleg.
2182
2183* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
2184
2185* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
2186
2187Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
2188
2189* aven:
2190
2191  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
2192    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2193
2194  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
2195    Suggested by detrito.
2196
2197  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
2198    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
2199
2200  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
2201    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
2202
2203* Add man page for dump3d.
2204
2205Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
2206
2207* aven:
2208
2209  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
2210    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
2211
2212  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
2213    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2214
2215* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
2216  Lynch and "detrito".
2217
2218* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
2219  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
2220
2221Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
2222
2223* cavern:
2224
2225  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
2226    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
2227    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
2228    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
2229    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
2230
2231  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
2232
2233  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
2234
2235  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
2236    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
2237    degrees).
2238
2239* aven:
2240
2241  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
2242    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
2243    Day.
2244
2245  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
2246    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
2247
2248  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
2249    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
2250
2251  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
2252    of the line in cavern log window.
2253
2254  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
2255
2256  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
2257
2258  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
2259    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
2260    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
2261    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
2262    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
2263
2264  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
2265    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
2266    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
2267
2268  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
2269
2270  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
2271
2272  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
2273    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
2274    Atkinson and myself.
2275
2276  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
2277
2278  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
2279    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
2280    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
2281    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
2282    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
2283    survey.
2284
2285  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
2286    lines on my netbook.
2287
2288  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
2289    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
2290    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
2291
2292  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
2293    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
2294    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
2295    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
2296    glitches.
2297
2298  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
2299    we currently list, though slower to write.
2300
2301  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
2302    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
2303
2304  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
2305    warnings when building against a recent version.
2306
2307  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
2308    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
2309    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
2310    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
2311
2312  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
2313    movie export.
2314
2315  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
2316    export.
2317
2318* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
2319  James Begley.
2320
2321* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
2322  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
2323
2324* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
2325
2326* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
2327  messages get used automatically.
2328
2329* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
2330  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
2331
2332* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
2333
2334* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
2335
2336* Use https for more URLs which support it.
2337
2338Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
2339
2340* aven:
2341
2342  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
2343    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
2344    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
2345    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
2346    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
2347    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
2348    probably change in the future).
2349
2350  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
2351    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
2352    the survey tree root.
2353
2354  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
2355    the view was recentred).
2356
2357  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
2358    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
2359    wrong direction).
2360
2361  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
2362    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
2363    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
2364
2365  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
2366    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
2367    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
2368    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
2369
2370  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
2371    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
2372
2373  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
2374    addresses #60.
2375
2376  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
2377
2378  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
2379    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
2380    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
2381
2382  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
2383
2384  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
2385    360 or down past 0.
2386
2387  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
2388    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
2389    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
2390    real-valued ones.
2391
2392  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
2393    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
2394
2395  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
2396    Lynch.
2397
2398  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
2399
2400  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
2401    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
2402
2403  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
2404    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
2405    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
2406
2407  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
2408    should now work.
2409
2410* cavern:
2411
2412  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
2413
2414  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
2415    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
2416    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
2417
2418  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
2419    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
2420    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
2421
2422  + Fix check for end of version number array in *require.  We would check up
2423    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
2424    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
2425    issue.
2426
2427  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
2428    by patch from Colin Watson.
2429
2430  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
2431
2432* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
2433
2434* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
2435  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
2436
2437* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
2438  used in the same dataset.
2439
2440* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
2441  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
2442
2443* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
2444  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
2445  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
2446
2447* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
2448
2449Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
2450
2451* aven:
2452
2453  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
2454    cavern again.
2455
2456* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
2457  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
2458  location and use the same start menu folder.
2459
2460* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
2461  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
2462
2463* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
2464  by James Begley.
2465
2466Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
2467
2468* aven:
2469
2470  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
2471    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
2472    to address.
2473
2474  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
2475    over the survey tree.
2476
2477  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
2478
2479  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
2480    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
2481
2482  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
2483    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
2484    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
2485    encoded.
2486
2487  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
2488    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
2489    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
2490    terminals which do still support this.
2491
2492  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
2493    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
2494
2495* cavern:
2496
2497  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
2498    Edwards (see #78).
2499
2500  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
2501    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
2502    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
2503    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
2504
2505  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
2506    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
2507    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
2508
2509  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
2510    from Pete Smart (see #69).
2511
2512* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
2513  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
2514  Black.
2515
2516* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
2517
2518* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
2519  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
2520  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
2521  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
2522  Black.
2523
2524* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
2525  Black.
2526
2527* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
2528
2529* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
2530
2531* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
2532
2533* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
2534
2535* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
2536
2537* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
2538  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
2539
2540* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
2541  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
2542  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
2543
2544* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
2545  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
2546  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
2547  privileges or not.
2548
2549Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
2550
2551* aven:
2552
2553  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
2554    Clipstone.
2555
2556  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
2557    Reported by Jenny Black.
2558
2559  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
2560    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
2561    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
2562
2563  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
2564    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
2565    messages.
2566
2567  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
2568    the terminal in 1.2.23.
2569
2570* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
2571  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
2572
2573* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
2574
2575* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
2576  by Wookey.
2577
2578Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
2579
2580* aven:
2581
2582  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
2583    machines.
2584
2585  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
2586
2587  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
2588    already being processed.
2589
2590  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
2591    Reported by Martin Green.
2592
2593  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
2594
2595* cavern:
2596
2597  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
2598    find the original survey notes).
2599
2600  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
2601    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
2602    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
2603    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
2604    progress display to be useful.
2605
2606* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
2607
2608* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
2609  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
2610
2611* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
2612  running cavern.
2613
2614* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
2615  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
2616  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
2617
2618Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
2619
2620* aven:
2621
2622  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
2623    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
2624    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
2625    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
2626    finding this fix.
2627
2628* cavern:
2629
2630  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
2631
2632  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
2633    station.
2634
2635  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
2636    *export.
2637
2638Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
2639
2640* aven:
2641
2642  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
2643    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
2644    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
2645
2646  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
2647
2648  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
2649    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
2650    does.
2651
2652  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
2653    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
2654
2655  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
2656    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
2657
2658  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
2659    as appropriate.
2660
2661  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
2662    values on Windows.
2663
2664* cavern:
2665
2666  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
2667    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
2668    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
2669
2670  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
2671    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
2672
2673  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
2674    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
2675    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
2676    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
2677
2678  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
2679    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
2680    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
2681    Atkinson.
2682
2683  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
2684    actual error rather than on a separate line.
2685
2686  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
2687    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
2688    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
2689    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
2690
2691  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
2692    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
2693    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
2694
2695* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
2696  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
2697  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
2698  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
2699
2700* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
2701
2702* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
2703  "*DECLINATION" command.
2704
2705* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
2706  Reported by Jenny Black.
2707
2708* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
2709  documentation.
2710
2711* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
2712  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
2713
2714* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
2715
2716* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
2717
2718Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
2719
2720* aven:
2721
2722  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
2723    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
2724    the same or very similar by default.
2725
2726  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
2727    Maynard.
2728
2729  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
2730
2731  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
2732
2733  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
2734    away.
2735
2736  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
2737
2738  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
2739    display it.
2740
2741* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
2742  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
2743  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
2744  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
2745
2746* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
2747
2748* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
2749  before 1.2.19.
2750
2751* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
2752  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
2753
2754* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
2755
2756* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
2757  disk image.
2758
2759* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
2760
2761* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
2762  libav features we don't use.
2763
2764* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
2765  a load of libav features we don't use.
2766
2767* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
2768  message in the installer.
2769
2770Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
2771
2772* aven:
2773
2774  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
2775    the exported file in 1.2.18.
2776
2777  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
2778
2779  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
2780    exit full screen mode.
2781
2782  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
2783    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
2784    using since 1.2.7).
2785
2786  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
2787    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
2788    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
2789    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
2790    St. Lawrence.
2791
2792  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
2793    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
2794
2795  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
2796    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
2797    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
2798
2799  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
2800    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
2801    case like we do on other platforms.
2802
2803  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
2804
2805  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
2806    support multi-monitor setups.
2807
2808  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
2809    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
2810
2811  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
2812    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
2813
2814  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
2815    cases.
2816
2817  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
2818    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
2819    Erin Lynch)
2820
2821  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
2822    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
2823    items in in so it uses the full width.
2824
2825  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
2826    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
2827    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
2828    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
2829    window.
2830
2831  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
2832    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
2833    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
2834    only relevant on the first ever run.
2835
2836* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
2837
2838* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
2839  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
2840  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
2841  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
2842  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
2843  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
2844
2845* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
2846  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
2847
2848Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
2849
2850* aven:
2851
2852  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
2853    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
2854    rendering it as a transparent surface.
2855
2856  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
2857    sanely want to perform from the menu.
2858
2859  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
2860    colouring options.
2861
2862  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
2863
2864  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
2865    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
2866    pressing "Escape".
2867
2868  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
2869    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
2870
2871  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
2872    exporting.
2873
2874  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
2875
2876  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
2877    is quite likely to change.
2878
2879  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
2880    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
2881
2882  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
2883    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
2884    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
2885
2886  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
2887
2888  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
2889    markers in orange.
2890
2891  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
2892    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
2893
2894  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
2895    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
2896    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
2897    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
2898    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
2899    them would be better.
2900
2901  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
2902    Gee.
2903
2904  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
2905    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
2906    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
2907
2908  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
2909
2910* cavern:
2911
2912  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
2913    susscorfa).
2914
2915  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
2916    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
2917
2918  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
2919
2920  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
2921    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
2922
2923  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
2924    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
2925
2926* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
2927
2928* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
2929  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
2930  in a modern desktop.
2931
2932* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
2933  the filename in the error message.
2934
2935* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
2936  most complete translations.
2937
2938* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
2939
2940* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
2941  lacks them.
2942
2943* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
2944
2945* Manual:
2946
2947  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
2948    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
2949
2950  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
2951
2952  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
2953
2954  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
2955    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
2956    available for download.
2957
2958* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
2959  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
2960  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
2961
2962* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2963
2964* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
2965
2966Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
2967
2968* MacOS X version:
2969
2970  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
2971
2972  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
2973
2974  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
2975
2976  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
2977
2978  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
2979    currently do this for us.
2980
2981  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
2982
2983  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
2984
2985  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
2986
2987  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
2988    OS X cursor.
2989
2990  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
2991    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
2992    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
2993    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
2994    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
2995    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
2996    with TextEdit.app for example).
2997
2998  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
2999    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
3000
3001  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
3002
3003  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
3004    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
3005
3006  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
3007    Riggs.
3008
3009  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
3010    space.
3011
3012  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
3013
3014  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
3015    10.10.1.
3016
3017  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
3018    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
3019    errors.
3020
3021  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
3022    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
3023    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
3024    wxWidgets build supports by default.
3025
3026  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
3027
3028* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
3029  treat as a single leg.
3030
3031* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
3032
3033* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
3034
3035* aven:
3036
3037  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
3038    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
3039
3040  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
3041    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
3042    1:500).
3043
3044  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
3045    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
3046    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
3047    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
3048
3049  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
3050    there rather than the two animations fighting.
3051
3052  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
3053    fast.
3054
3055  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
3056    when rotating).
3057
3058  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
3059    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
3060
3061* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
3062  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
3063
3064* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
3065
3066* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
3067
3068* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
3069
3070* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
3071
3072* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
3073  we're using git.
3074
3075* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
3076
3077  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
3078    compass.
3079
3080  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
3081
3082  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
3083
3084Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
3085
3086* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
3087
3088* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
3089
3090* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
3091
3092* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
3093  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
3094
3095* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
3096
3097* tests/: Improve test coverage.
3098
3099* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
3100  Greek and Polish.
3101
3102* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
3103  by Martin Sluka.
3104
3105* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
3106  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
3107
3108Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
3109
3110* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
3111  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
3112  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
3113  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
3114  for *cs has also been improved.
3115
3116* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
3117  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
3118  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
3119  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
3120
3121* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
3122  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
3123  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
3124  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
3125  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
3126
3127* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
3128  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
3129  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
3130
3131* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
3132
3133* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
3134
3135* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
3136  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
3137  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
3138
3139* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
3140  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
3141
3142Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
3143
3144* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
3145  system in use in 3d v8 files.
3146
3147* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
3148  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
3149  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
3150  export dialog.
3151
3152* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
3153  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
3154  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
3155  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
3156  rather than having one corner there.
3157
3158* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
3159  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
3160
3161* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
3162  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
3163
3164* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
3165  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
3166  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
3167
3168* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
3169  such as 64-bit Linux.
3170
3171* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
3172  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
3173
3174* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
3175  64-bit platforms.
3176
3177* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
3178  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
3179  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
3180
3181* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
3182  the space available in the aven UI.
3183
3184* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
3185  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
3186  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
3187
3188* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
3189  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
3190
3191* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
3192  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
3193  about unconnected surveys.
3194
3195* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
3196  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
3197
3198* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
3199  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
3200  freed memory.
3201
3202* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
3203
3204* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
3205
3206* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
3207
3208* Fix a compiler warning.
3209
3210* Improve test coverage.
3211
3212Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
3213
3214* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
3215  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
3216  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
3217
3218* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
3219  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
3220  Hugh St Lawrence.
3221
3222* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
3223  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
3224  with using aven on a touch screen device.
3225
3226* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
3227  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
3228
3229* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
3230  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
3231
3232* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
3233  off and back on.
3234
3235* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
3236  up time a little.
3237
3238* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
3239  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
3240
3241* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
3242  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
3243  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
3244  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
3245  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
3246  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
3247  situation too.
3248
3249* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
3250  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
3251  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
3252
3253* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
3254
3255* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
3256
3257* Minor translation updates to French.
3258
3259* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
3260
3261* Testsuite improvements:
3262
3263  + Test that "..." anon station works.
3264
3265  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
3266    fail and give an error count.
3267
3268  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
3269
3270Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
3271
3272* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
3273  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
3274  Clipstone.
3275
3276* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
3277
3278* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
3279
3280  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
3281    overlap the scale bar ticks.
3282
3283  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
3284    clipping the border in print preview.
3285
3286  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
3287
3288* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
3289  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
3290
3291* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
3292  available.
3293
3294* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
3295
3296* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
3297
3298* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
3299  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
3300
3301* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
3302  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
3303
3304* Various translation updates.
3305
3306Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
3307
3308* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
3309  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
3310
3311* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
3312  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
3313  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
3314  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
3315
3316* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
3317  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
3318
3319* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
3320  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
3321
3322* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
3323  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
3324
3325* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
3326  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
3327
3328* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
3329  box".
3330
3331* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
3332
3333* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
3334  indicators.
3335
3336* aven: All length units are now translatable.
3337
3338* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
3339  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
3340  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
3341
3342* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
3343  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
3344  measurably slower.
3345
3346* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
3347  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
3348
3349* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
3350  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
3351
3352* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
3353  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
3354  from Therion and elsewhere.
3355
3356* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
3357  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
3358  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
3359
3360* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
3361  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
3362
3363* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
3364  A. Riggs for his work on this.
3365
3366* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
3367  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
3368
3369* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
3370
3371* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
3372  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
3373  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
3374  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
3375  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
3376  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
3377
3378* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
3379
3380Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
3381
3382* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
3383  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
3384  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
3385  Clipstone.
3386
3387* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
3388  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
3389
3390* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
3391  exported SVG files.
3392
3393* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
3394
3395* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
3396  file.
3397
3398* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
3399  GPX files.
3400
3401* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
3402
3403* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
3404  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
3405
3406* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
3407  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
3408  on startup.
3409
3410* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
3411
3412* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
3413  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
3414  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
3415  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
3416  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
3417  other extensions.
3418
3419* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
3420  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
3421  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
3422  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
3423  timezone wrong.
3424
3425* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
3426
3427* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
3428  'SURVEY DATE:'.
3429
3430* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
3431
3432* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
3433
3434* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
3435  enabled.
3436
3437Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
3438
3439* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
3440
3441* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
3442
3443* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
3444
3445* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
3446  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
3447  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
3448
3449* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
3450  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
3451  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
3452
3453* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
3454  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
3455
3456* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
3457
3458* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
3459
3460* Fix some compiler warnings.
3461
3462Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
3463
3464* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
3465  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
3466  Holder.
3467
3468* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
3469  statistics when the value gets large.
3470
3471* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
3472  equations.
3473
3474* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
3475  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
3476  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
3477  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
3478  better when the "View" box is hidden.
3479
3480* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
3481  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
3482
3483* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
3484  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
3485  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
3486  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
3487  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
3488  way is coming soon.
3489
3490* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
3491  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
3492
3493* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
3494  time ago, so update references.
3495
3496* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
3497  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
3498
3499* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
3500  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
3501
3502* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
3503  Sebastian Ramacher.
3504
3505* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
3506
3507* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
3508
3509* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
3510
3511* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
3512
3513* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
3514
3515* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
3516  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
3517  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
3518
3519* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
3520
3521* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
3522
3523* img library:
3524
3525  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
3526    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
3527    reading).
3528
3529  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
3530    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
3531
3532  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
3533    support these as an extension.
3534
3535  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
3536
3537* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
3538  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
3539  itself has any translations for.
3540
3541* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
3542
3543* Minor translation updates.
3544
3545* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
3546
3547Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
3548
3549* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
3550  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
3551  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
3552  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
3553  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
3554  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
3555  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
3556  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
3557
3558* New version 8 of the 3d format:
3559
3560  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
3561
3562  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
3563    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
3564
3565  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
3566    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
3567
3568  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
3569
3570  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
3571    human-readable string.
3572
3573  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
3574    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
3575
3576* img library:
3577
3578  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
3579
3580  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
3581    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
3582
3583  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
3584    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
3585    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
3586    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
3587    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
3588    explicitly in the file.
3589
3590  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
3591
3592* aven:
3593
3594  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
3595    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
3596    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
3597    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
3598    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
3599    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
3600
3601  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
3602    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
3603    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
3604    queued up.
3605
3606  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
3607    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
3608
3609  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
3610    them like other legs.
3611
3612  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
3613    station names to positions.
3614
3615  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
3616    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
3617    wrongly.
3618
3619  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
3620
3621  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
3622    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
3623    that's used by the desktop).
3624
3625  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
3626
3627  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
3628    error from cavern.
3629
3630  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
3631
3632  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
3633    in the dialog in sync.
3634
3635* cavern:
3636
3637  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
3638    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
3639    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
3640
3641  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
3642    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
3643
3644  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
3645    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
3646    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
3647    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
3648    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
3649    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
3650    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
3651    degrees.
3652
3653  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
3654    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
3655    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
3656
3657  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
3658
3659  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
3660    warnings.
3661
3662  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
3663    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
3664
3665  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
3666    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
3667
3668  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
3669    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
3670    relevant.
3671
3672  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
3673    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
3674    the same line.
3675
3676  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
3677    "End of line not blank" error.
3678
3679  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
3680    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
3681
3682  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
3683    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
3684
3685  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
3686    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
3687    include that character in the token reported.
3688
3689  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
3690    first item.
3691
3692* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
3693
3694* dump3d:
3695
3696  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
3697    info from 3d files in scripts.
3698
3699  + Add --show-dates option.
3700
3701  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
3702
3703  + Report the data style of legs.
3704
3705  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
3706
3707  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
3708
3709* Test suite:
3710
3711  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
3712    expected output so it passes reliably.
3713
3714  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
3715    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
3716
3717  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
3718    for more.
3719
3720* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
3721  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
3722  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
3723
3724* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
3725  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
3726
3727* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
3728  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
3729
3730* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
3731  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
3732  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
3733  settings.
3734
3735* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
3736  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
3737  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
3738  set correctly.
3739
3740* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
3741  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
3742  them to translate.
3743
3744* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
3745  close to complete.
3746
3747* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
3748
3749* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
3750
3751* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
3752
3753Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
3754
3755* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
3756
3757* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
3758  package (ticket#35).
3759
3760* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
3761  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
3762  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
3763
3764* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
3765  Kahler.
3766
3767* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
3768  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
3769  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
3770  libproj and build survex with:
3771
3772      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3773      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3774
3775* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
3776
3777* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
3778
3779* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
3780  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
3781  file".
3782
3783Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
3784
3785* aven:
3786
3787  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
3788
3789  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
3790    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
3791
3792  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
3793
3794  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
3795
3796  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
3797    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
3798
3799* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
3800  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
3801  error early on).
3802
3803* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
3804  the man page source as well as in the filename.
3805
3806Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
3807
3808* aven:
3809
3810  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
3811    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
3812    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
3813    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
3814
3815  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and choose a consistent
3816    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
3817
3818  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
3819
3820  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
3821
3822  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
3823
3824* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
3825
3826Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
3827
3828* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
3829
3830* (Mac OS X version):
3831
3832  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
3833
3834  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
3835
3836  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
3837    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
3838
3839  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
3840
3841* aven:
3842
3843  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
3844
3845  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
3846
3847    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
3848      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
3849      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
3850      character.
3851
3852    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
3853      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
3854      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
3855      and two in a few cases.
3856
3857    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
3858      8 pixels.
3859
3860  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
3861    draw crosses.
3862
3863  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
3864    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
3865    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
3866    is the start or end of a tube.
3867
3868  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
3869    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
3870
3871  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
3872    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
3873    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
3874
3875* extend:
3876
3877  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
3878
3879  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
3880    which means "no info").
3881
3882* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
3883  was no longer used - it certainly is!
3884
3885* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
3886  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
3887  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
3888  current character set.
3889
3890* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
3891
3892* Test suite:
3893
3894  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
3895
3896  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
3897
3898Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
3899
3900* aven:
3901
3902  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
3903    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
3904    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
3905    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
3906    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
3907    usable format.
3908
3909  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
3910    files.  (ticket#26)
3911
3912  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
3913    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
3914
3915  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
3916    using lines.
3917
3918  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
3919    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
3920
3921  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
3922    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
3923    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
3924    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
3925
3926  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
3927    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
3928    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
3929
3930  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
3931    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
3932    in 1.2.1.
3933
3934Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
3935
3936* Translation updates for US English.
3937
3938* aven:
3939
3940  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
3941    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
3942
3943  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
3944
3945  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
3946    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
3947    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
3948    visually similar to the survey legs.
3949
3950  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
3951    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
3952
3953  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
3954    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
3955    does still provide some useful information).
3956
3957  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
3958    a depth band boundary.
3959
3960  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
3961    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
3962    full-screen mode).
3963
3964  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
3965    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
3966    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
3967    are a little better, though still not perfect.
3968
3969  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
3970    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
3971
3972  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
3973    that station.
3974
3975  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
3976    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
3977
3978  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
3979    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
3980    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
3981    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
3982    a case as it is a bug).
3983
3984  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
3985    invalidated on window width or height changes.
3986
3987  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
3988    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
3989    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
3990    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
3991
3992  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
3993    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
3994    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
3995    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
3996    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
3997    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
3998    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
3999
4000  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
4001    similarly for other compass points.
4002
4003  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
4004    info in the "About" dialog.
4005
4006  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
4007    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
4008
4009  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
4010    as well as still working with older versions.
4011
4012  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
4013    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
4014
4015  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
4016    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
4017    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
4018    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
4019    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
4020
4021  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
4022    nicer and make better use of the available space.
4023
4024  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
4025    dialog.
4026
4027  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
4028    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
4029
4030  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
4031    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
4032
4033  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
4034
4035  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
4036
4037  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
4038    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
4039    being pressed and toggle full screen.
4040
4041* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
4042  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
4043
4044* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
4045
4046* More messages are now available to be translated.
4047
4048* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
4049  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
4050
4051* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
4052
4053* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
4054  sudo for installing on Unix.
4055
4056* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
4057  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
4058
4059* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
4060  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
4061
4062* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
4063
4064Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
4065
4066* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
4067  English.
4068
4069* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
4070  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
4071  case.
4072
4073* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
4074  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
4075  these into Survex's .msg format.
4076
4077* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
4078  an actual command).
4079
4080* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
4081  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
4082  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
4083  recurrence of that).
4084
4085* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
4086  than /usr/doc/survex.
4087
4088* aven:
4089
4090  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
4091
4092  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
4093    nicer at larger sizes.
4094
4095  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
4096    with GLX >= 1.3.
4097
4098  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
4099
4100  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
4101    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
4102    required libraries set up for building releases.
4103
4104  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
4105
4106  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
4107
4108  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
4109    rendered with icons on some platforms.
4110
4111  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
4112    ISO8859-1).
4113
4114  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
4115    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
4116
4117  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
4118    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
4119
4120* cavern:
4121
4122  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
4123    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
4124    fatal error!
4125
4126  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
4127    format to output.  (ticket#21)
4128
4129* img library:
4130
4131  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
4132    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
4133
4134* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
4135  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
4136
4137Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
4138
4139* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
4140  Portuguese, and US English.
4141
4142* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
4143  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
4144
4145* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
4146  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
4147
4148* img.c:
4149
4150  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
4151
4152  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
4153
4154* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
4155
4156* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
4157  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
4158  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
4159  translated.
4160
4161Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
4162
4163* aven:
4164
4165  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
4166    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
4167
4168  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
4169    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
4170    addresses ticket#12.
4171
4172  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
4173    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
4174    consistent shape.
4175
4176  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
4177    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
4178    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
4179    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
4180
4181  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
4182    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
4183
4184  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
4185
4186  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
4187    more places.
4188
4189  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
4190    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
4191
4192* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
4193
4194* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
4195  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
4196
4197* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
4198
4199* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
4200  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
4201  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
4202  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
4203  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
4204  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
4205
4206* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
4207  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
4208  redirecting to it.
4209
4210* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
4211  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
4212  I/O).
4213
4214* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
4215  headers.
4216
4217* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
4218
4219* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
4220  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
4221
4222* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
4223
4224Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
4225
4226* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
4227
4228* aven:
4229
4230  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
4231    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
4232    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
4233    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
4234
4235  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
4236
4237  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
4238    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
4239    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
4240    a number.
4241
4242  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
4243    log window.
4244
4245  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
4246    various cases.
4247
4248  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
4249    (ticket#9)
4250
4251  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
4252    namespace with its own "Point" class.
4253
4254  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
4255    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
4256
4257  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
4258
4259  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
4260    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
4261
4262* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
4263  give them before.
4264
4265* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
4266  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
4267  point looking for them now.
4268
4269* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
4270  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
4271  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
4272  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
4273
4274* manual:
4275
4276  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
4277
4278  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
4279    (change taken from 1.0).
4280
4281* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
4282
4283Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
4284
4285* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
4286
4287* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
4288
4289* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
4290
4291* aven:
4292
4293  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
4294
4295  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
4296    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
4297    seem to be Unicode now).
4298
4299  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
4300    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
4301
4302  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
4303    text on the survey pane:
4304
4305    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
4306
4307    - Character spacing is improved.
4308
4309    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
4310
4311  + "About" dialog:
4312
4313    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
4314      bug reporting.
4315
4316    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
4317      modern gfx card.
4318
4319    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
4320
4321  + Processing .svx files:
4322
4323    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
4324
4325    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
4326      than opening a separate frame for it.
4327
4328    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
4329
4330    - Fix small memory leak.
4331
4332  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
4333    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
4334    such a name.
4335
4336  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
4337
4338  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
4339    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
4340    invocations.
4341
4342  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
4343
4344  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
4345
4346  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
4347
4348* Documentation:
4349
4350  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
4351
4352  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
4353    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
4354    together isn't very useful.
4355
4356  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
4357
4358  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
4359    the FSF website.
4360
4361  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
4362    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
4363    the source code.
4364
4365* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
4366  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
4367
4368* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
4369  package from the source tarball.
4370
4371* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
4372  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
4373
4374Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
4375
4376* aven:
4377
4378  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
4379
4380  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
4381
4382  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
4383    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
4384    names/crosses).
4385
4386Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
4387
4388* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
4389
4390* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
4391
4392* aven:
4393
4394  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
4395
4396  + Fix character spacing.
4397
4398  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
4399    proportional fonts.
4400
4401  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
4402    rather than the filename.
4403
4404  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
4405
4406  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
4407    depth colouring.
4408
4409  + Add "Colour by Error".
4410
4411  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
4412
4413  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
4414
4415  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
4416
4417  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
4418
4419  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
4420
4421  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
4422
4423  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
4424
4425  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
4426    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
4427
4428  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
4429
4430  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
4431    default.
4432
4433* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
4434  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
4435
4436* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
4437  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
4438
4439* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
4440
4441* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
4442
4443Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
4444
4445* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
4446  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
4447  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
4448  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
4449  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
4450
4451* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
4452  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
4453  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
4454
4455* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
4456  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
4457  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
4458
4459* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
4460  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
4461  allowed).
4462
4463* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
4464
4465* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4466
4467* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4468
4469Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
4470
4471* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
4472  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
4473
4474* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
4475  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
4476  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
4477
4478* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
4479  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
4480  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
4481  the new "*data passage" style.
4482
4483* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
4484  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
4485
4486* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
4487  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
4488  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
4489  some cases.
4490
4491* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
4492  with no survey loaded.
4493
4494* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
4495
4496* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
4497  loaded a survey.
4498
4499* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
4500
4501* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
4502
4503* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
4504  doesn't exist.
4505
4506* Updated French and Italian translations.
4507
4508* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
4509  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
4510
4511* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
4512  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
4513  update their copy).
4514
4515* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
4516  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
4517  trying to compile).
4518
4519Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
4520
4521* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
4522  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
4523
4524* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
4525  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
4526  has been disabled.
4527
4528* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
4529  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
4530  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
4531  time.
4532
4533* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
4534  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
4535  highlighted stations.
4536
4537* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
4538
4539* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
4540  the tilt from plan to elevation.
4541
4542* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
4543  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
4544
4545* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
4546  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
4547  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
4548
4549* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
4550  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
4551
4552* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
4553
4554* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
4555
4556* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
4557
4558* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
4559  run by an unprivileged user.
4560
4561* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
4562  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
4563  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
4564
4565* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
4566  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
4567
4568* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
4569
4570* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
4571  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
4572
4573* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
4574  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
4575
4576* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
4577  if it isn't.
4578
4579* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
4580  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
4581
4582* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
4583  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
4584
4585* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
4586  reset to default view as well).
4587
4588* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
4589  empty.
4590
4591* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
4592  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
4593
4594* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
4595  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
4596  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
4597
4598* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
4599  and non-zero width lines.
4600
4601* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
4602  was turned on.
4603
4604* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
4605  not always being fully written.
4606
4607Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
4608
4609* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
4610  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
4611  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
4612  date near the middle of that period).
4613
4614* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
4615  with MS Windows).
4616
4617* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
4618  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
4619  several surveys in the same directory).
4620
4621* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
4622  our check for them to include that knowledge.
4623
4624* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
4625
4626* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
4627  moved off a station.
4628
4629* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
4630  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
4631
4632* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
4633
4634* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
4635  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
4636
4637* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
4638  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
4639  dialogs.
4640
4641* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
4642  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
4643
4644* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
4645  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
4646  introduced in 1.1.6).
4647
4648* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
4649  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
4650  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
4651
4652* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
4653  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
4654
4655* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
4656
4657* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
4658
4659Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
4660
4661* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
4662  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
4663
4664* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
4665  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
4666  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
4667  3d file.
4668
4669* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
4670
4671* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
4672
4673* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
4674  Instead turn off depth colouring.
4675
4676* aven: Export as HPGL added.
4677
4678* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
4679  Martin Green).
4680
4681* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
4682  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
4683  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
4684
4685* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
4686
4687* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
4688  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
4689
4690* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
4691  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
4692  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
4693  of everything else.
4694
4695* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
4696  presentation icons.
4697
4698* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
4699  keyboard focus there.
4700
4701* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
4702
4703* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
4704
4705* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
4706
4707* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
4708
4709* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
4710  language to use for messages.
4711
4712* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
4713  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
4714
4715* Removed old printer drivers.
4716
4717* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
4718  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
4719
4720Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
4721
4722* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
4723
4724* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
4725
4726* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
4727  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
4728
4729* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
4730  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
4731
4732* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
4733
4734* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
4735  underground legs is toggled.
4736
4737* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
4738  attached to the previous data.
4739
4740* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
4741  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
4742  them.
4743
4744Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
4745
4746* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
4747
4748* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
4749  continental European countries).
4750
4751* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
4752  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
4753  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
4754
4755* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
4756
4757* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
4758  they're needed.
4759
4760* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
4761
4762* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
4763
4764* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
4765
4766* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
4767  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
4768  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
4769
4770* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
4771
4772Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
4773
4774* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
4775
4776* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
4777
4778* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
4779
4780* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
4781
4782* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
4783
4784* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
4785
4786* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
4787  when there's a presentation loaded.
4788
4789* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
4790  in cave view.
4791
4792* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
4793
4794* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
4795  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
4796  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
4797
4798* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
4799  filename for file history and window title.
4800
4801* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
4802  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
4803  only needed with GTK1.2.
4804
4805* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
4806
4807* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
4808
4809* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
4810
4811* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
4812
4813Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
4814
4815* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
4816  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
4817  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
4818
4819* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
4820  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
4821
4822* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
4823  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
4824  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
4825  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
4826
4827* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
4828
4829* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
4830  with --help and --version.
4831
4832* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
4833  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
4834  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
4835  Fixed all these problems.
4836
4837* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
4838  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
4839  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
4840
4841* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
4842  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
4843  sources.
4844
4845* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
4846
4847* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
4848
4849* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
4850  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
4851
4852* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
4853  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
4854  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
4855  animating.
4856
4857* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
4858
4859* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
4860
4861* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
4862  to this branch.
4863
4864* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
4865
4866  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
4867
4868  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
4869
4870  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
4871
4872* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
4873
4874* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
4875  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
4876
4877* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
4878
4879* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
4880  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
4881
4882* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
4883
4884* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
4885  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
4886  for anyone building from CVS).
4887
4888* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
4889
4890* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
4891
4892* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
4893
4894* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
4895
4896* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
4897  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
4898  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
4899
4900* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
4901  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
4902
4903* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
4904
4905* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
4906  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
4907  loaded).
4908
4909* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
4910
4911Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
4912
4913* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
4914  startup.
4915
4916* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
4917  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
4918
4919Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
4920
4921* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
4922  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
4923  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
4924
4925* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
4926  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
4927  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
4928
4929* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
4930  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
4931  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
4932
4933* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
4934
4935* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
4936  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
4937
4938* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
4939  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
4940
4941* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
4942  better use of screen space.
4943
4944* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
4945
4946* aven: Perspective view.
4947
4948* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
4949
4950* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
4951  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
4952
4953* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
4954  and load/save/run them.
4955
4956* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
4957
4958* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
4959
4960* aven: Depth fogging option.
4961
4962* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
4963
4964* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
4965
4966* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
4967  showing the surface legs.
4968
4969* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
