NEWS: Remove inaccurate claim for 1.4.2

We said "now supports installing as a non-admin user" as a benefit
of the innosetup version upgrade, but actually an option needs to
be set for this, so this wasn't the case until 1.4.8 added that
option.

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