[889f75e]1Changes in 1.4.18 (2025-11-04):
[f97d81e]2
3* aven: Fix "Enter" in search control to zoom to results.  This was broken
4  by the switch to wxSearchCtrl in 1.4.17.
5
[9af170f3]6* aven: Fix "Find stations" search box width with wxWidgets >= 3.2.7.  Patch
7  https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/15 from Thomas Holder.
8
9* aven: (Microsoft Windows version): Fix sizing of indicators (scalebar,
10  compass, clino, colour key) on HiDPI monitors.  Fixes #144, reported by Juan
11  Corrin.
12
[feedee2]13* aven/survexport: Set UTM zone and datum in exported Compass PLT.
14
[f97d81e]15* cavern: Avoid duplicate errors/warnings with unconnected data.  Since 1.4.10,
16  unconnected data is only a warning but that resulted in us running some
17  checks on the survey tree twice, which could result in duplicate
18  errors/warnings.
19
[feedee2]20* cavern: Fix parsing of hex digits in *set.  Hex digits a-f were incorrectly
21  being handled as 0-5, so 0x0a was byte 0 not byte 10.
22
[f97d81e]23* cavern: We now track the column as well as file:line where a station or
24  survey name was used, so diagnostics which use these locations now report
25  a column number too.
26
27* cavern: Show context if proj can't convert coords.  We only do this for .svx
28  files currently as it is more complex for Compass and Walls data.
29
[feedee2]30* cavern: Fix reported column for error for `-` for Walls tape field.
31  In this context, Walls requires 2 or more `-` to indicate an omitted field.
32
[2cca673a]33* cavern: Compass MAK file parsing improvements:
34
[8bf7831]35  + Comments are now skipped.  Previously a commented-out MAK file command
36    would still be interpreted by cavern, which was incorrect.
[2cca673a]37
[8bf7831]38  + Whitespace handling has been adjusted to more closely match Compass.
39
40  + Unknown commands are now warned about.  Compass seems to quietly ignore
41    unknown commands, but it seems helpful for cavern to report them as it
42    will help identify any bugs in Survex's parsing of MAK files, and any
43    new or undocumented MAK file commands which we don't support.  It can also
44    help detect typos in data entry.
[2cca673a]45
46  + We now skip to the closing `;` for unknown commands and commands we
[8bf7831]47    ignore as not relevant to us, whereas previously we're just skip the
48    initial character which gives the type of command and then look for
49    another command.  This doesn't seem to make any difference in practice as
50    none of these commands appear to be able to contain text which could be
51    interpreted as a different valid Compass MAK file command.
[2cca673a]52
[889f75e]53* (Microsoft Windows version): The toolchain we use to build this version
54  seems to have changed in an unhelpful way.  We've got the build working
55  again, but when aven is launched a black window opens first, then the
56  aven window opens over the top.  The black window stays around until
57  aven is closed.  This extra window doesn't really get in the way of using
58  aven, but it's not supposed to be there.  It doesn't seem to be due to a
59  change in the Survex code as the 1.2.17 build doesn't do this, but a
60  rebuild of 1.2.17 with just the minimum of build system changes does.
61  If you have suitable skills help fixing this would be much appreciated.
62
[2cca673a]63* (Microsoft Windows version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, like we
64  already do for Unix.  Unlocked file I/O can be much faster in some cases (we
65  don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file I/O).
66
67* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix compiler warning in wrapaven.c.
68
[889f75e]69* (Microsoft Windows version): Work around wx-config --rescomp no longer
70  working.  The mingw package of wxWidgets has started to return an empty
71  string here.  We don't support building with MSVC, so hardcoding `windres`
72  here isn't really a problem in practice.
73
[feedee2]74* Manual: Document that *set eol default includes x1A (Ctrl-Z) to provide
75  compatibility with old DOS text files (it always has done but was missing
76  from the documentation).
77
[f97d81e]78* Merge updates to Russian translation.
79
80* Add the start of a Czech translation.
81
82* Update unofficial Inno Setup translations for the installer.
83
84* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.2.  It is starting to become hard to keep
85  everything working with 3.0.0 and the time and effort seems better directed
86  to other things.  The last 3.0.x release was 3.0.5.1, released 2020-05-02.
87  3.2.0 was released 2022-07-06 and it seems everywhere with wxWidgets packages
88  upgraded to 3.2.x some time ago.
89
[889f75e]90* Test suite:
91
92  + cavern.tst: Test more mixed line ending cases.
93
94  + Turn off tests involving aven and survexport on mingw, as we can no longer
95    seem to run these programs during the build.  Rebuilding the last commit
96    that worked now fails, so this is not due to a change in the Survex code.
97    There is no error message, but bash shows exit code 127 which means it
98    failed to run the command.
99
100  + Improve handling of VERBOSE in tests.  Previously VERBOSE showed output
101    from all testcases, even ones which passed.  Now we only show output from
102    testcases which fail for VERBOSE=1.  Other non-empty values of VERBOSE
103    continue to show all output for cavern.tst and smoke.tst, but have the same
104    effect as VERBOSE=1 for other tests.
105
106  + compare.tst: Fix to actually work, support --help, and allow comparing
107    cavern runs which fail.  This script is not run as part of the automated
108    tests but assists manually comparing two versions of cavern on the same
109    data which can be helpful for debugging and during development.
110
[1ddd621]111Changes in 1.4.17 (2025-03-20):
[c27e518]112
113* aven: Add support for exaggerating Z.  You can now set a Z scale factor
114  from 0.1 to 10.0 via a new widget on the toolbar.  Fixes #49.
115
[c505ae0]116* aven: The cavern log window now chooses foreground and background colours
[6144c07a]117  based on the desktop's light mode/dark mode setting.  Previously it
[1ddd621]118  used the default window background colour but always used black text, which
119  made it hard to read with a dark desktop theme.  (The wxWidgets API to detect
[70c8a8c]120  dark mode is new in 3.2, so if built with wxWidgets 3.0 then we assume
121  light mode.)
[6144c07a]122
[c27e518]123* aven: The station search feature now uses the standard search
124  widget on GTK 3.6 or later and on macOS.  There's now a placeholder
125  text shown when there's no search to make it clearer what this
126  widget is for.
127
[6144c07a]128* aven: There's currently a cavern bug where it can fail to identify all
129  traverses which are not involved in loop closure, which results in the .3d
130  file contains error information for them (unfortunately this seems tricky to
131  fully fix).  This error information is always zero, so as a workaround aven
132  attempts to detect these so that "colour by error" shows them as "not in
133  loop".  This workaround previously only checked for E being zero, but now
134  H and V are both also required to be zero.  This should help avoid some very
135  low error traverses being incorrectly treated as "not in loop", although in
136  practice I've not yet found a real world case where this actually makes a
137  difference.
138
[c27e518]139* aven: Fix the output encoding of `aven --help`, `--version`, etc.
140  Previously these were always encoded as UTF-8 which is usually right
141  on a modern system, but the terminal could be using a different
142  encoding.
143
144* aven: Reduce startup overhead a little when the terminal has a UTF-8
145  locale (which is now the default on most Linux distros).
146
147* cavern: Fix an "assertion failed" error in some situations when
148  equating to a fixed point.  This bug was introduced by changes
149  in 1.4.13.  Fixes #143, reported by Juan Corrin.
150
151* cavern: The syntax of *copyright commands is now checked and a warning
152  issued for problems.  The information in the command is still not yet used.
153
154* cavern: The syntax of *team commands is now checked and a warning
155  issued for problems.  The information in the command is still not yet used.
156
157* cavern: Stop reporting node stats.  These are kind of interesting, but
158  with the widespread use of Disto-X and similar devices which can easily
159  shoot multiple splay legs from each station means the number of larger order
160  nodes has increased and this information is now quite verbose and any utility
161  it had has substantially declined.  If these statistics are still wanted then
162  they could make a reappearance in the future in aven, with splays excluded
163  when counting the number of legs at each station.  Fixes #86, reported by
164  Wookey.
165
166* cavern: Fix wrong "unused fixed point" warning with *solve.
167
168* cavern: Fix double counting of stations which are referenced both before and
169  after *solve.
170
171* cavern: Suppress loop and component counts if *solve is used.  Our component
172  count was often wrong in this case but this looks very hard to fix.  These
173  counts are not vital so better to omit than report wrong values.
174
175* cavern: The "Equating two equal fixed points" warning now lists the
176  stations on the same order as they are in the `.svx` file which
177  seems clearer.
178
179* Speed up reading and writing of .3d files.  The time to read a large .3d file
180  and just count the stations and legs was more than halved by this change.
181
182* Simplify handling of errors loading the messages file.  The error
183  messages for this case are now stored as separate ASCII strings in
184  the executables which reduces the startup overhead a little as we
185  no longer need to scan them and potentially reencode them.
186
187* img library: The img struct's filename_opened member was always NULL when
188  used outside of Survex (and set but never actually used inside of Survex)
189  so it has been removed.  If you are referencing it in your code then instead
190  use the filename you passed to img_open_survey() when opening the file.
191
[6144c07a]192* Documentation: Add details of warning about future dates in *date.
193
[c27e518]194* Documentation: Added new manual chapter on the img library.
195
196* Documentation: Improve comments document API in img.h.
197
[6144c07a]198* Testsuite: Add proper test coverage for `*ref`.
199
200* Merge updates to Russian translation from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
201
202* Portability: Eliminate unintended use of a C++17 feature (static_assert
[c27e518]203  with only one argument).
204
205* Portability: Avoid compiler warnings/errors in getopt code by properly
206  declaring getenv().
207
[a6a956a]208Changes in 1.4.16 (2025-02-21):
209
210* aven: Improve "Colour by Survey".  Surveys whose names only differ in the
211  final character tended to get visually similar colours (often
212  indistinguishable), but now should get very different colours.  Reported by
213  Eric C. Landgraf and Patrick Warren.
214
215* aven: Add "Find" item to right-click menu on survey tree which triggers a
216  search for the survey or station that was right-clicked on which highlights
217  with a yellow blob on each station, like double-clicking used to before
218  1.2.36.  Requested by Patrick Warren.
219
220* cavern: Fix calculation of convergence which could incorrectly give zero
221  with some PROJ versions < 9.3.0.  Unclear exactly which versions are
222  affected, but seen with PROJ 8.2 and can't affect PROJ >= 9.3.0.  Reported by
223  Eric C. Landgraf.
224
225* cavern: Report approximate true grid convergence range which provides a way
226  to assess if the representative location(s) specified by `*declination auto`
227  are suitable.  Fixes #141, reported by Eric C. Landgraf
228
229* cavern: Support Compass 'C' shot flag.  In Compass this causes flagged legs
230  to not be subject to loop closure.  Survex now sets the SDs of such legs to
231  1mm, so flagged legs can still move slightly during loop closure.  Previously
232  Survex ignore this flag entirely.
233
234* Document Microsoft Windows version requirements.
235
236* Enable SSE2 by default on 32-bit x86.  Intel CPUs without SSE2 were
237  discontinued ~18 years ago so it seems very unlikely anyone is actually still
238  using one for Survex.  We keep hitting testcase failures due to excess
239  precision from 387 FP instructions, and the time spent adjusting testcases to
240  avoid these would be better spent on new features, etc.
241
242* Tighten up charset name parsing a little.
243
244* Merge updates to Russian translation from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
245
246* Various minor improvements to documentation.
247
248* Various minor improvements to test coverage.
249
[3ca3814]250Changes in 1.4.15 (2024-12-24):
251
252* aven: Avoid infinite redraw loop if GDAL gives an error loading geodata to
253  overlay.
254
255* aven: Turn off full-screen mode bodges when running on macOS 10.7 or later.
256  Fixes #110
257
258* aven/survexport: (Microsoft Windows version): Enable GDAL support so you
259  can now overlay geodata (in aven) and export shapefiles.
260
261* cavern: Remove now-bogus assertion which can fire when there's a survey not
262  connected to any fixed points (since 1.4.10 made unconnected data a warning
263  instead of an error).  Reported by Philip Balister.
264
265* (Microsoft Windows version): Strip debug data from .exe and .dll files which
266  reduces the installer size by around 5%.
267
268* Testsuite: Normalise -0.00 in DXF bounds too to avoid possible test failures
269  on x86.
270
[7acaf87]271Changes in 1.4.14 (2024-12-11):
272
273* aven/survexport: Add support for exporting shapefiles.  This requires GDAL so
274  currently isn't enabled in the Microsoft Windows build.  Thanks to Eric C.
275  Landgraf for testing.  Fixes #87.
276
277* cavern: If *date with just year is followed by a blank, cavern expects a date
278  range and gives an error if another date doesn't follow.  Bug was introduced
279  in 1.4.13.
280
281* aven/cavern: Use ′ and ″ for feet and inches.
282
283* Documentation: Add some details on how to handle Toporobot "serie" station
284  naming.
285
[07e129c]286* Updates to Bulgarian, Hungarian, Russian and Slovak translations.
[7acaf87]287
288* Testsuite: Adjust lollipop testcase to pass on i386 where excess precision
289  was changing which station was reported as the southernmost of multiple
290  candidate stations).
291
[baf03ba]292Changes in 1.4.13 (2024-12-01):
[91f3c4c]293
294* aven:
295
296  + Don't show crosses on anonymous stations since they just clutter up the
297    display (especially for anonymous splays).  Suggested by Andrew Atkinson.
298
299  + Fix 1.4.10 regression in plotting of station names.  Each anonymous station
300    was blocking out a small rectangle which no actual station name could
301    overlap.  Reported by Špela Borko.
302
303  + Reduced start-up time by only initialising GDAL if we have overlays to
304    show.
305
306  + (Microsoft Windows version): Avoid recurring "GDAL support not enabled in
307    this build" message box.  This message is now only shown once if you try to
308    add an overlay.  Reported by Špela Borko.
309
310* cavern:
311
[baf03ba]312  + Update to use v14 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
313    This was issued in November 2024 and should give slightly more accurate
314    declinations for surveys made since 2015.  Fixes #137.
315
[91f3c4c]316  + The component count was wrong in some cases, and we calculate the number
317    of loops using this component count, so the loop count would also be wrong
318    by the same amount in these cases.
319
[282afeb]320  + The component count and loop count are now reported when there are
321    unconnected survey stations.
322
[54a3adc]323  + *date now supports ISO format dates.  Fixes #96, reported by Milosch.
[baf03ba]324
[54a3adc]325  + *date now supports date types "surveyed" and "explored" (existing usage
[baf03ba]326    without an explicit type is interpreted as "surveyed").
327
[91f3c4c]328  + If the output directory isn't writable or doesn't exist we would complain
329    that we can't create the .err file - now we try to create the .3d file
330    first so complain about that instead which seems more helpful.  Reported by
331    Eric C. Landgraf.
332
333  + When inventing a fixed point we now avoid picking a fixed point which is
334    only attached to nosurvey legs if there's another option.  The code was
335    already meant to do this but it was buggy and we lacked a testcase for this
336    situation.
337
338  + Survey network reduction now finds some delta-star opportunities which were
339    being overlooked.  This allows more complicated networks to be reduced
340    further so fewer and/or smaller matrices need solving, which is faster.
341
342  + Survey network reduction now handles a "lollipop" with a fixed stick end
343    specially which is a little bit faster.  A more visible consequence is
344    fewer "Solving one equation..." messages when solving a complex survey
345    network.
346
347  + Survey network reduction now makes use of articulating legs to split up the
348    problem a little more, so we will often now solve more but smaller matrices
349    which should be faster.
350
351  + Assigning matrix row numbers now identifies equated stations in a slightly
352    more efficient way.
353
[baf03ba]354* dump3d: Provide a way to get ISO format dates output.
355
356* Documentation:
357
358  + Improve documentation of *date in the manual.  When a partial date is
359    specified (just a year, or a year and month only) the documentation claimed
360    the centre of that year or month is used but actually this case is treated
361    as a date range covering the whole year or month (respectively).  The end
362    result is effectively the same as what was previously documented though
363    since the centre of a date range is used as the date for calculating
364    automatic declinations and is the date used by aven.
365
[91f3c4c]366* Test suite:
367
368  + Adjust hpglexport testcase to avoid i386 excess precision causing one of
369    the HPGL coordinates to differ by one from its value calculated without
370    excess precision.
371
372* Assorted translation updates.
373
[b9c665b]374Changes in 1.4.12 (2024-10-23):
375
376* aven:
377
378  + (Microsoft Windows version): Geodata overlays are (hopefully temporarily)
379    no longer available in the pre-built version of Survex installed by the
380    Microsoft Windows installer.  We use the GDAL library to load them and
381    there's a hard to debug problem during DLL initialisation somewhere in its
382    dependency tree.  If you really need geodata overlays, the 1.4.9 installer
383    still works.  Thanks to Wookey for extensive testing to investigate the
384    problem, and to everyone else who reported this.
385
386* cavern:
387
388  + A leg with the same station as from and to is now only a warning in
389    Compass data.  Compass itself seems to quietly ignore such legs, but
390    they seem worth warning about.  In native Survex data this is still
391    an error.
392
393  + Short survey and station names are now stored without an extra memory
394    allocation.  On a 64-bit platform (most modern computers) we can store
395    name components up to 7 characters in this way; on a 32-bit platform
396    up to 3 characters.  On a large dataset which needs large matrices
397    solving this reduces cavern's memory usage by 3.5MB (~4.5%).  It's
398    also fractionally faster (but only ~0.05% which is not normally even
399    measurable).
400
401  + Assigning matrix row numbers to stations is now faster and allocates
402    less memory.
403
404* (Microsoft Windows version): The Microsoft Windows installer is now
405  named `survex-microsoft-windows-1.4.12.exe`.  The old name was
406  `survex-win32-1.4.11.exe` but the "win32" is now misleading as it's been a
407  64-bit build since 1.4.9.  Reported by Wookey.
408
409* Testsuite:
410
411  + dump3d.tst: Add tests of img library's survey filtering.
412
413  + cavern.tst: Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in JSON test output before
414    comparing with expected output.  We can get -0.00 on x86 due to excess
415    precision.
416
417* img library:
418
419  + Survey filtering now works correctly for files which use a survey level
420    separator other than `.`.  Patch https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/14
421    from Thomas Holder.
422
423  + Reading a v7 or earlier .3d format extended elevation with survey filtering
424    was failing to set is_extended_elevation.
425
[0249518]426Changes in 1.4.11 (2024-08-14):
[92debc5]427
428* aven:
429
430  + Add imperial scales for export and printing.  Fixes #132, reported by Eric
431    C. Landgraf.
432
433* aven/survexport:
434
435  + HPGL export now uses pen 2 for splays and pen 3 for surface legs.  Partly
436    addresses #60.
437
438  + HPGL export now supports scaling (previous the scale was always
439    1:40000).
440
[0249518]441  + KML export now distinguishes surface legs and splays using different
442    line styles.  Partly addresses #60.
443
[92debc5]444  + Remove Skencil export support.  The last release of Skencil was in 2005.
445    There was an attempt to revive the project in 2010, but that didn't lead to
446    another release and seems to have petered out.  No current Linux distro (or
447    other package system) seems to have Skencil packages, and the current git
448    version still appears to require Python 2 which is being phased out.
449
450* cavern:
451
452  + Support `*data ignore` to allow ignoring a block of survey data lines.
453    Closes #114, reported by Alastair Gott.
454
455  + Report error for bad final reading in `*data` command (previously such a
456    bad reading was quietly ignored).
457
458  + If the survey in `*end` doesn't match that in `*begin` the location of
459    that `*begin` is now reported as well - the second message here is new
460    for example:
461
462     badbegin.svx:6:8: error: Survey name doesn't match BEGIN
463      *end   bar
464             ^~~
465     badbegin.svx:4:13: info: Corresponding BEGIN was here
466      *begin      foo
467                  ^~~
468
469  + Now shows a context line for a reading which was on the previous line,
470    which can happen for interleaved data styles.
471
472  + Warn when a token is not followed by a blank, comment or end of line.
473    This is an unintentional tokenisation oddity which has been present
474    for a really long time.  We don't want to break files that rely on this
475    (even if they likely only do accidentally) so emit a warning rather than
476    an error.
477
478    This warning can easily be eliminated by adding a space where indicated,
479    which will work with old and new Survex versions.  Fixes #135.
480
481  + Errors and warnings which report an unexpected token now report a
482    contiguous span of letters and numbers rather than just letters in cases
483    where a number can't follow (which is the majority of cases).
484
485  + If `*require` isn't satisfied, the `*require` line is now shown for
486    context (especially helpful if there's a comment after the command noting
487    the reason for the requirement, as we now suggest in the manual).
488
489  + `*require` version parsing improved - spaces are no longer tolerated in
490    a version number and trailing junk after the version number is now
491    handled more consistently.
492
493  + Fixed several situations in which the highlighting of the context for a
494    diagnostic was off by a small number of columns.
495
496  + Optimise building of matrix during network solving.
497
[0249518]498  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files:
[92debc5]499
500    - After reporting an error for an unsupported datum, we now set the datum
501      to WGS84 to prevent triggering further errors from code which tries to
502      use the datum.
503
504    - Parse Walls WPJ commands as alphanumeric rather than alphabetic tokens,
505      which better matches how Walls parses them.  This only makes a difference
506      in the error message when we don't recognise a WPJ command.
507
508* Documentation:
509
510  + Note `feet` are international feet and how to select a different
511    definition in `*units` docs.
512
513  + Document `grads` are also known as "neugrads" and "gons" in `*units` docs.
514
515* Assorted translation updates.
516
517* testsuite:
518
519  + Fix bug in normalisation of `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before
520    comparing with expected output.
521
522* Update and improve vim syntax highlighting:
523
524  + `*cartesian` added
[0249518]525
[92debc5]526  + `*data ignore` added
[0249518]527
[92debc5]528  + `mils` units now highlighted as deprecated
[0249518]529
[92debc5]530  + `UP` and `DOWN` are no longer highlighted anywhere in a command
[0249518]531
[92debc5]532  + `U`, `D`, `LEVEL`, `-V`, `+V`, `.`, `..` and `...` now highlighted in data
533    lines
[0249518]534
[92debc5]535  + Repeated `NOT` in `*flags` is now highlighted as an error
[0249518]536
[92debc5]537  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to not flag an error just
538    because there's a comment after the filename
[0249518]539
[92debc5]540  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to work when there's
541    whitespace between `*` and `include`
542
[63a37be]543Changes in 1.4.10 (2024-08-05):
[6082f2a]544
545* aven:
546
547  + Use a fixed rotation rate for rotating the view to North, South, East or
548    West (shortcut keys `N`, `S`, `E` and `W`).  We were using the same
549    variable rate which auto-rotation does for this case, but really these are
550    just animations to help the user see the change that's happening, so a
551    fixed rate makes more sense (and is what tilting to plan or elevation
552    does).  The new fixed rotation rate for this is double what the default
553    variable rate was, which means the longest rotation (e.g. from S to N)
554    takes 3 seconds rather than 6.
555
556* aven/survexport:
557
558  + Fix syntax of shot flags in PLT export (incorrect since introduced in
559    1.4.6).
560
561  + Map Survex duplicate flag to `L` shot flag in PLT export.
562
563  + Invent shorter names for anonymous stations in PLT export.  The PLT file
564    format documentation says station names can be up to 12 characters, but the
565    ones we generated were longer than this which is liable to trip up
566    consumers of this format that only allow for the specified length.
567    We now generate names using a sequential counter with a two character
568    prefix so they should fit in the 12 character limit for any cave
569    survey.
570
571  + 3D export now includes all leg and station flags.
572
573* cavern:
574
575  + Unconnected survey stations are now handled as a warning, whereas
576    previously this was an error.  This is necessary when processing Walls data
577    where it seems having hanging surveys is the norm, and Walls itself only
578    warns about them.
579
580    The support is also enabled for native Survex data since it allows viewing
581    the connected parts of a survey with missing connections without having to
582    comment out the unconnected parts (and then remember to fully uncomment
583    once connections are surveyed).  Fixes #16, reported by Duncan Collis.
584
585    Currently the component count and loop count are not shown in this case.
586
587  + Avoid multiple reports of an unconnected survey station.  This could happen
588    in some cases where a group of equated stations had more than four legs
589    connected to it.
590
591  + Fix missing report of unconnected survey station.  We aim to report at
592    least one station in every unconnected piece of survey, but if a piece had
593    been simplified to a single station which was anonymous (e.g. a disto splay
594    shot) then we wouldn't report anything for that piece.  Now we find the
595    traverse that was attached to it and report the next station along that
596    traverse.
597
598  + Report file and line location each unconnected survey station.
599
600  + This warning now says either `*entrance` or `*export` depending on which
601    it actually was:
602
603      Station "bar.1" referred to by *entrance or *export but never used
604
605  + Fix several cases of mishandling comments without blanks before them:
606
607    - After an anonymous station.
608
609    - After an ignored reading.  The `ignore` would incorrectly also skip the
610      comment character and any characters which followed up to the next blank
611      or end of line.
612
613    - In a `*alias` command.
614
615    - Diagnostic highlighting could continue into a comment.
616
617  + New `*cartesian` command which supports different orientations of
618    `cartesian` style data.
619
[b49bd46]620  + Anonymous stations are now supported in `cartesian` style data.
621
[6082f2a]622  + `*fix a reference` (without any coordinates) is now an error.  The
623    `reference` token provides a way to have a list of known fixed points which
624    are not expected to all be currently used, while omitting the coordinates
625    provides a way to specify a point to arbitrarily fix rather than rely on
626    cavern picking one.  Allowing both together doesn't really make sense.
627
628  + Improve check for 180° backclino to suppress the warning about a compass
629    reading on a plumbed leg (introduced in 1.4.8) to allow a small tolerance
630    on the value.  Previously the check wasn't working on x86 Linux for
631    example.
632
[b49bd46]633  + When showing a line as the location of a diagnostic we now render any
634    tab character as a single space which means the `^~~~~` highlight length
635    is now correct even when the highlighted part contains tabs.  This only
636    affects use from a terminal as the highlight was already correctly handled
637    when viewing the log in aven.
638
[9fcaec0]639  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files (thanks to Eric
640    C. Landgraf and Joe for a lot of great feedback from testing with large
641    datasets):
[6082f2a]642
[b49bd46]643    - The `RECT=` option is now fully supported.
[6082f2a]644
645    - Fix `#DATE` with an active `.REF` to act like `DECL=`.  This matches what
[9fcaec0]646      the documentation says and what Walls seems to actually do.
[6082f2a]647
648    - Allow completely omitting the clino on a wall shot (with `ORDER=DAV` or
[9fcaec0]649      `ORDER=ADV`).
[6082f2a]650
651    - Resolve WPJ `.PATH` relative to innermost containing book.
652
653    - Handle an empty Walls station name.  Walls allows a station with an
654      explicit prefix to have an empty name, e.g. `PEP:`.  The Walls
655      documentation doesn't mention this, though it also doesn't explicitly say
656      the name can't be empty.  This quirk seems unlikely to be intentionally
657      used and Survex doesn't allow an empty station name, so we issue a
658      warning and use the name `empty name` (which has a space in, so can't
659      collide with a real Walls station name which can't contain a space) - so
[9fcaec0]660      `PEP:` in Walls becomes `PEP.empty name` in Survex.
[6082f2a]661
[9fcaec0]662    - Flag stations with explicit Walls prefix as exported.
[6082f2a]663
664    - Fix setting empty Walls macro with a comment right after it.
665
666    - Walls quietly ignores junk after the numeric argument in `TYPEAB=`,
667      `TYPEVB=`, `UV=`, `UVH=`, and `UVV=`.  This seems to be an undocumented
[9fcaec0]668      feature/bug so Survex emits a warning and skips the junk.
[6082f2a]669
670    - After an unknown Walls option we now process the rest of the line.
671      Previously we were skipping the rest of the line.
672
673    - We no longer skip the rest of the line after a bad Walls `ORDER=` option.
674
675    - Correct the reported column for some Walls option diagnostics.
676
[9fcaec0]677    - Support explicit units on Walls clino readings.
[6082f2a]678
679    - Allow `#` in Walls station names.  This is explicitly documented as not
680      allowed, but the documentation doesn't match the implementation and `#`
[9fcaec0]681      is present in some real-world data.
[6082f2a]682
683    - Improve handling of Walls `RESTORE` error.  Highlight the position in the
684      line and don't skip the rest of the line.
685
686    - Don't warn about `INCH=` with a zero argument since that's the one case
687      of it we do handle!
688
689    - Fix not to skip the rest of the line after Walls `INCH=` option.
690      We currently don't support `INCH=` so we warn about it, but we were
691      skipping the rest of the line, then trying to read and discard the
[9fcaec0]692      argument to `INCH=` which gave an error.
[6082f2a]693
694    - Relax handling of Walls `CASE=`.  It's not documented, but Walls32.exe
[9fcaec0]695      quietly treats unknown values as "Mixed".
[6082f2a]696
[1f5f8c1]697    - Support DM and DMS format for latitude and longitude in Walls `#FIX`,
698      e.g. `W97:43.875` and `W97:43:52.5` .
699
700    - Treat a zero length leg with finite variance like a Survex `*equate`.
701
[b49bd46]702    - Apply Walls variance overrides to survey legs.
[1f5f8c1]703
704    - The optional instrument and target heights are now parsed, but their
705      values are currently ignored.
706
707    - The delimiters around LRUD data are now parsed, but the LRUD data between
708      them is currently ignored.
709
[5bf6f21]710    - If a `#SEGMENT` value looks like a set of Compass shot flags (i.e.
711      consists only of upper case characters from `CLPSX`, optionally prefixed
712      with a `/` or `\`) then we interpret them as Compass shot flags (except
713      that `X` is mapped the same way as `L`).  This is apparently a common way
714      to use `#SEGMENT`, and unlikely to be triggered accidentally.
[b49bd46]715
[9fcaec0]716    - Avoid a doubled directory separator when building Walls path names.
717
[6082f2a]718* documentation:
719
720  + The manual has been converted from DocBook to reStructured Text.  The
[1f5f8c1]721    plain-text format is much easier for making changes, and for users the
722    output from sphinx looks nicer and has extra features (like built-in
723    "Quick search" in the HTML output).
[6082f2a]724
725    The plain text version of the manual is no longer generated.  Sphinx can
726    produce one but the .rst sources actually seem more readable for anyone
727    wanting to read the manual in plain text.
728
729    The extra targets to generate the manual in RTF and PostScript
730    have been dropped as I doubt they are still used (we stopped
731    providing them on the website years ago).  They could probably be
732    reinstated if there's a demand for them.
733
[63a37be]734    The conversion was partly automated followed by a full pass over the
[6082f2a]735    result fixing issues with the automated conversion.  We took the
736    opportunity to also review the content and update or remove out of
737    date and other incorrect information, and to reorder some of the content.
738
[c4366d6]739  + Document all the statistics in the `.err` file
740
[6082f2a]741  + Document PLT export.
742
[b49bd46]743  + Minor improvements to --help output
744
[6082f2a]745  + The HTML version of the 1.4.9 manual was missing the Walls chapter
746    and had messed up paging links around it (due to the new CMAP chapter
747    accidentally also being given the filename `walls.htm`).  Reported by Eric
748    C. Landgraf.
749
750  + Document we don't enforce Walls' station or prefix length limits.
751
752  + Document handling of Walls `#NOTE`.
753
754  + Fix documentation of Walls `FLAG=` which is correctly handled, not skipped.
755
[b49bd46]756  + Document how to compare Walls and Survex output via Shapefile.
757
758  + Document how to suppress unused fixed point warning in Walls SRV.
[6082f2a]759
760* testsuite:
761
762  + Add testcase for Walls `#units order=da`.
763
764  + Add expected output for more testcases
765
766  + Add testcase for exporting .3d files.
767
[b49bd46]768  + Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before comparing to avoid bogus
769    test failures due to excess precision on x86 when using 387 FP
770    instructions.
771
772  + Add test of DXF export with full coordinates.
[6082f2a]773
774* translations:
775
776  + Diagnostics can now use positional arguments which sometimes allows a
[63a37be]777    more natural word order in a translated message.
[6082f2a]778
[532ff49]779Changes in 1.4.9 (2024-07-04):
[c009b32a]780
781* aven:
782
[532ff49]783  + Support showing geodata overlays in Aven.  We use the GDAL library to load
784    the data, so this should work for any format which GDAL supports so long as
785    it can be read from the filing system and is geo-referenced vector data -
786    see https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html for a list.  Currently the
787    dialog to select a file defaults to showing GPX, KML, GeoJSON and shape
[c505ae0]788    files - set the filter to "All Files" to choose other formats.
[c009b32a]789
790  + Reimplement display of cavern output.  The old version turned the log into
791    HTML and displayed it using wxHtmlWindow, but that adds a lot of overhead
792    and is especially inefficient if there are many diagnostics - cavern could
793    finish almost instantly yet aven could take many seconds to process the
794    output.  The new version renders directly from the log data.  It should
795    have most of the features from before - the only missing feature I'm
796    currently aware of is that you can't now select and copy text from the log
797    window, which wxHtmlWindow provided for free.  If people miss this feature,
798    we could add it to the new implementation.
799
[532ff49]800  + (Microsoft Windows version): Clicks in the cavern log window which load
801    files into an editor now protect the filename if it starts with a dash
802    to prevent it being interpreted as a command line option.  We already
803    do this for other platforms, but weren't on Microsoft Windows on the
804    assumption that it isn't needed because the filenames will be fully
805    qualified, but that may not be the case if aven if run by hand from the
806    command line or from some other launcher.
807
[c009b32a]808* cavern:
809
810  + Add support for processing Walls format survey data (.SRV and .WPJ files).
811    This support is somewhat experimental but at a point where it seems useful
812    to make it easier for people to try out.  See the manual for a list of
813    known shortcomings.  Thanks to Eric C. Landgraf for a lot of testing and
814    encouragement.
815
[26bdac6]816  + Fix bug with Compass DAT diving data.  If a survey uses the depth gauge
817    then since 1.4.6 we set its style to "diving", but we weren't clearing that
[7ff9e18]818    so all surveys after that in the same DAT file were also set as "diving".
[26bdac6]819
820  + When parsing of Compass DAT files we report errors in more cases if the
821    input doesn't conform to the format we expect, rather than potentially
822    quietly misinterpreting the data.
823
[c009b32a]824  + *entrance now suppresses "Unused fixed point" warning.  This warning is
825    intended to catch typos, which is much less likely for a station named
826    twice.  It's also reasonable to use only *fix and *entrance on a station at
827    the entrance of an unsurveyed cave.
828
829  + Highlight plumbed clino readings fully in diagnostics.  Now the full reading
830    is highlighted instead of just the first character.
831
832  + Report location of previous fix after "already fixed" error/warning.
833
834  + Use "info" diagnostic category for "Originally entered here" message.  This
835    is more logical as the original *begin isn't something to be warned about,
836    only the reentering is.  This was only a warning before because we didn't
837    used to have "info" diagnostics.
838
839  + Use "info" diagnostic category for message about not reporting further
840    uses of a deprecated feature.  Previously this was a warning, but the newer
841    "info" category is more appropriate here.
842
843  + The message about inventing a fixed point is now an "info" diagnostic which
844    allows us to report a location which is where that station is defined,
845    which may be useful to the user.
846
847  + Make highlighting position in error reporting more robust.  We no longer
848    try to highIight if we calculate a negative column offset, when previously
849    we would print billions of spaces.  As far as I know this has never
850    happened in a released version.
851
[532ff49]852  + Error messages which report the program name now remove any ".exe" suffix.
853    This helps the testsuite by making the expected output the same
854    cross-platform, but also seems slightly nicer for users.
855
856* dump3d:
857
858  + The timestamp reported by DATE_NUMERIC is now printed portably.  Previously
859    we were assuming that a time_t is the same size as a long int, which is not
860    true on all platforms.
861
[c009b32a]862* manual:
863
864  + (Microsoft Windows version): Update information about installation
865    with/without admin rights.
866
[26bdac6]867  + Summarise support for reading CMAP data and its assumptions and
868    limitations.
869
[c009b32a]870  + Mention Compass, Walls and CMAP support in the importing data howto
871    section.
872
873  + Drop mention of Rosetta Stal from the manual.  The referred to link from
874    our website was removed in 2015 because Rosetta Stal hadn't been updated
875    for 13.5 years at that point.  Now the domain it was available from has
876    lapsed and is a domain squatter "for sale" page.
877
[fa2c485d]878* img library:
879
880  + The coordinates in CMAP data are in feet but we were dividing rather
881    than multiplying by the conversion factor to get metres so all
882    coordinates were about 10.76 times too large.
883
[26bdac6]884  + Stations in CMAP "station" variant XYZ files are now flagged as
885    underground (as they always have been for "shot" variant XYZ files).
886
887  + When reading CMAP XYZ files, we no longer emit duplicate img_LABEL for
888    stations in loops.
889
890  + A CMAP XYZ file without a survey title is now handled correctly (this was
891    reporting a bogus "Out of memory" error).
892
[532ff49]893  + The img.h header now defines constants IMG_VERSION_SURVEX_POS, etc for the
894    values reported in the version field for non-.3d formats.
895
896  + (Microsoft Windows version): Workaround limitation of Microsoft's C
897    library so we handle dates before 1970 in Compass PLT files, CMAP XYZ
898    files, and older format .3d files.  Previously these were reported
899    as "unknown date".
900
901* We now support overriding the location of support files by setting the
902  SURVEXLIB environment variable.  We no longer look at the srcdir
903  environment variable for this.
904
905* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created automatically
906  on Github actions, which has required a few changes.  It now packages a
907  64-bit build, and is created with Innosetup 6.3.2 which no longer supports
908  Vista.  The installer is also now significantly larger, which is mostly
909  because we now need to include a large number of DLLs, most of which are
910  dependencies of the mingw64 FFmpeg and GDAL packages.
911
912* (Microsoft Windows version): If the directory where we expect the PROJ
913  support files to be does not exist for some reason we now avoid triggering
914  a segmentation fault in PROJ.
915
[c009b32a]916* Build system:
917
918  + The GDAL library is now required to build Survex.
919
[532ff49]920  + (Microsoft Windows version): The probe for GL and GLU libraries now also
921    checks for Microsoft's non-standard library names.
922
923  + Correct configure --help output for --enable-werror for which the default
924    is actually "no" rather than "maintainer-mode".
925
926* testsuite:
927
928  + aven.tst: Skip a testcase when running on mingw as it seems to hang there.
929    We already skip this testcase on macos for what appears to be the same
930    problem.
931
932  + Fix comparison of output to work on platforms using DOS line endings.
933
[ff1859c]934Changes in 1.4.8 (2024-04-23):
935
936* cavern:
937
938  + The warning for a compass reading on a plumbed leg was already suppressed
939    for a compass or backcompass reading of 0, but is now also suppressed for a
940    backcompass of 180° (or equivalent) which seems to be common in some Compass
941    datasets, but also seems sensible generally.  Thanks to Simeon Warner for
942    sharing some data which triggered such warnings.
943
944  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name is now also
945    emitted in the case where a name was used first for a station, and then as
946    a survey on an explicitly prefixed name.  Closes
947    https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4, reported by Thomas Holder.
948
949  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name now highlights
950    the problematic name within the line shown for context.
951
952  + Fix the reported token string reported by some errors with readings.  This
953    happened to work on at least x86-64 Linux, but the code was invalid and
954    failed on some architectures.
955
956* Fix to build with newer FFmpeg versions.
957
958* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now offers the choice to install
959  for just the current user, which allows installing Survex without admin
960  rights.
961
962* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix problems with valid coordinate systems being
963  rejected and aven's cavern log window not showing output.  Reported by
964  Peter Mašič, Špela Borko, Răzvan Dumbravă and detrito.  Thanks especially to
965  Špela Borko for a lot of testing to help track down the cause.
966
[cca63ece]967Changes in 1.4.7 (2024-04-07):
968
969* cavern:
970
971  + When using *declination auto we report the range of calculated declinations
972    for each location specified.  After doing this we now reset the range
973    information we're tracking.  Previously we'd misreport the range for
974    the second and subsequent locations.
975
976  + Avoid undefined behaviour on handling filename fallback for filenames
977    containing non-ASCII characters.
978
979  + Show context line with relevant item highlighted for more errors and
980    warnings.
981
982  + The dynamic string handling routines are now more efficient.
983
984  + Fix memory leak if a Compass MAK file opens folders it doesn't close.
985
986  + Fix handling of clino-less legs in Compass DAT.  These would cause cavern
987    to fail with a lot of "NaN" messages.  Now they're treated as having a zero
988    clino with a standard deviation based on the leg length, just like in .svx
989    files.
990
991* img library:
992
993  + Compass PLT: Treat LRUD readings > 900 as omitted readings, which matches
994    what Compass does.  Thanks to Larry Fish for clarifying this.
995
996  + Avoid undefined behaviour after realloc().  We were adjusting a pointer
997    within the reallocated block by subtracting the old block address and
998    adding on the new one.  Technically this is undefined behaviour, although
999    in practice it seems likely it'll work and we've not seen misbehaviour due
1000    to it.  However it's easy to avoid by calculating the offset before the
1001    realloc().
1002
1003* Portability:
1004
1005  + Provide prototype for getopt() to avoid warnings with very recent compiler
1006    versions.
1007
1008  + Avoid using sprintf(), which now triggers warnings on some platforms.
1009
1010* Build system:
1011
1012  + Add configure --enable-werror option to turn compiler warnings into errors.
1013
[1fbe219e]1014* Manual:
1015
1016  + Expand details of Compass MAK CRS support.
1017
1018  + Replace very out of date information about binary RPM packages.
[cca63ece]1019
1020* Minor translation updates.
1021
1022* (Microsoft Windows version): Now uses PROJ 9.3.0 and ships all of the
1023  ancillary files that PROJ comes with.  Hoping this fixes use of coordinate
1024  system EPSG:3912 failing, which was reported by Peter Mašič but I've not
1025  managed to reproduce.
1026
[bad7f1a]1027Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-03-07):
[752a9f5]1028
1029* cavern:
1030
1031  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
1032    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
1033    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
1034    mailing list.
[7bc4300]1035
[752a9f5]1036  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
1037    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
1038    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
1039    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
1040
[bad7f1a]1041  + When opening a file, cavern has fallback handling if the file isn't found
1042    to help people processing datasets from platforms with case-insensitive
1043    file systems.  Previously cavern would fold the filename to lowercase and
1044    retry.  Now if this fails, it will also try the lower case version but
1045    with the initial character of the leaf in upper case, and finally folding
1046    the whole specified filename to upper case.
1047
1048  + Dynamically pick a suitable level separator character and store it in .3d
1049    file, instead of it being hard-coded to '.' (we still use '.' unless it
1050    has been *set as a "name" character, or for Compass DAT/MAK files unless it
1051    has been used in a station name).  This is a step towards addressing the
1052    situations raised by Thomas Holder in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4
1053    and https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/5 .
1054
[9e62108]1055  + Compass DAT files:
[e5e93f9]1056
[bad7f1a]1057    - The shot flag S is now understood to indicate a splay.
1058
1059    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
1060      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
1061      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
1062      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
1063      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
1064      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
1065
[9e62108]1066    - Surveys which indicate a depth gauge was used for azimuth readings are
1067      now marked as STYLE_DIVING in the 3d file.
[e5e93f9]1068
[bad7f1a]1069    - Compass and clino corrections are now implemented for backsights.
[e5e93f9]1070
[9e62108]1071    - The tape correction in Compass DAT files is now handled correctly.  The
1072      specified value is in feet, but cavern was incorrectly treating it as
1073      being in metres.
1074
1075    - We now handle the newer 15 character "FORMAT:" encoding.  Previously
1076      cavern wouldn't detect when there were backsights in this case.
1077
1078    - We now treat survey date January 1st 1901 as "no date specified" since
1079      this is the date Compass stores in this situation, and it seems very
1080      unlikely to occur in real data.
1081
1082    - In Compass DAT files a dummy zero-length leg from a station to itself is
1083      used to provide a place to specify LRUD for the start or end of a
1084      traverse (depending if dimensions are measured at the from or to
1085      station), and so we no longer issue a warning about equating a station to
1086      itself for DAT files.
1087
1088  + Compass MAK files:
1089
[bad7f1a]1090    - The base location command is now understood.  This is how Compass
1091      specifies a location to calculate magnetic declination at, and we
1092      now handle this like Survex's native "*declination auto X Y Z".
1093
[9d6646a]1094    - Survex uses the specified UTM zone and datum provided the combination can
1095      be expressed as an EPSG code (lack of any EPSG codes for a datum suggests
1096      it's obsolete; lack of a code for a particular datum+zone combination
1097      suggests the zone is outside of the defined area of use of the datum).
1098      Example Compass files we've seen use "North American 1927" outside of
1099      where it's defined for use, presumably because some users fail to change
1100      the datum from Compass' default.  To enable reading such files we return
1101      a PROJ4 string of the form "+proj=utm ..." for "North American 1927" and
1102      "North American 1983" for UTM zones which don't have an EPSG code.
1103      Please let us know if support for additional cases which aren't currently
1104      supported would be useful to you.
[e5e93f9]1105
[bad7f1a]1106    - Folder commands are now understood.
[7bc4300]1107
[bad7f1a]1108    - Flag fixed stations as entrances.  Experimentation with Compass shows
1109      this is how it treats them ("distance from entrance" in a .DAT file
1110      counts from 0 at these points).
[9e62108]1111
[bad7f1a]1112  + We now support reading Compass CLP files.  These are very like DAT files,
1113    except they contain loop-closed data.  You might find this useful if you
1114    want to keep existing stations at the same adjusted positions Compass gave
1115    (for example to be able to draw extensions on an existing drawn-up survey),
1116    or if the original DAT file has been lost but you still have the CLP file.
[9e62108]1117
[bad7f1a]1118* aven:
[7bc4300]1119
[bad7f1a]1120  + Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
1121    Philip Balister.
[7bc4300]1122
[bad7f1a]1123  + Split the filters for DAT and MAK files in the File->Open drop down list.
1124    It seems more likely you'd want to see one type or the other, not both
1125    together.
[7bc4300]1126
[bad7f1a]1127* aven/survexport:
[7bc4300]1128
[bad7f1a]1129  + Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
[b1c66e1]1130
[bad7f1a]1131  + .json,.kml: Enable export of surface legs.  Currently surface and
1132    underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats when both
1133    are enabled.
[7bc4300]1134
[bad7f1a]1135  + .3d: The coordinate system is now set.
1136
1137  + .svg: Equated stations now get their correct names in the id attribute
1138    of <circle> tags.  Previously one of the names would be repeated for
1139    all of a set of equated stations.
1140
1141  + .plt:
1142
1143    - Anonymous stations previously resulted in an empty name in the PLT
1144      file.  This isn't explicitly disallowed by the PLT format description,
1145      but Compass' viewer gives an error for such lines.  Now we invent names
1146      by encoding the station coordinates which should be unique.
1147
1148    - The S shot flag is now set for splays, and the P shot flag (hide from
1149      plotting) is set for surface legs (which matches the use suggested in the
1150      Compass docs).
[e5e93f9]1151
[752a9f5]1152* img library:
1153
1154  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
1155    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
1156    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
1157    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
1158    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
1159    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
1160    default).
1161
[9e62108]1162  + Improve Compass PLT support (many of these are Compass features added
1163    since Survex's support for Compass was originally added):
1164
1165    - Survey dates are now handled fully.  We treat survey date January 1st
1166      1901 as "no date specified" since this is the date Compass stores in this
1167      situation, and it seems very unlikely to occur in real data.
1168
1169    - LRUD data is now translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END.
1170
1171    - We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE for stations where the "Distance From
1172      Entrance" field is present and zero.
1173
1174    - The shot flag L is now translated to img_FLAG_DUPLICATE.
1175
1176    - The shot flag S is now translated to img_FLAG_SPLAY.  A station at the
1177      far end of a shot flagged S gets img_SFLAG_WALL set since the Compass PLT
1178      format specification says:
1179
1180          The shot is a "splay" shot, which is a shot from a station to the
1181          wall to define the passage shape.
1182
1183    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
1184      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
1185      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
1186      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
1187      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
1188      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
1189
1190    - The d plot command is now supported (previously img failed to parse
1191      PLT files using this command) - it's like D but implies the P shot flag.
1192
1193    - If a PLT file only uses one datum and it is "WGS 1984" then the UTM zone
1194      is converted to the appropriate EPSG code and this is reported as the
1195      coordinate system.  Other datums could be handled, but the mapping to
1196      EPSG code is less simple.  Also it seems Compass supports at least
1197      24 datums but it doesn't document all the strings it uses for them.
1198      Files with multiple datums could be handled too, but we'd need to convert
1199      coordinates to a common coordinate system in the img library, which would
1200      need it to depend on PROJ.  Please let us know if support for more and/or
1201      mixed datums would be useful to you.
1202
1203    - Duplicate img_LABEL items are no longer returned - this used to happen
1204      for stations where more than two shots met within a single survey.
1205
1206    - We now infer img_SFLAG_EXPORTED for any station that appears in more
1207      than one survey in the PLT file.
1208
1209    - We now set flag img_SFLAG_FIXED for any station which is listed as
1210      a fixed point in the PLT file.
1211
1212    - If there's only one non-empty section name in a PLT file and we aren't
1213      filtering by survey, we now report that section name as the title.  If
1214      there are multiple different non-empty section names, we still report the
1215      basename of the file as before.  If we're filtering by survey, we report
1216      the comment for that survey as before.
1217
1218    - Fix bug handling PLT with omitted LRUD.  The format specification
1219      documents that LRUD may be omitted, though it seems Compass never
1220      actually omits it and at least some versions of Compass failed to handle
1221      it being omitted too.
1222
[bad7f1a]1223* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
1224
1225* manual:
1226
1227  + Document Compass support in detail.
1228
1229  + Improve NATO mils example.
1230
1231* INSTALL:
1232
1233  + Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by Andrew
1234    Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
1235
1236  + Document the requirement for a C99 compiler for building from source.
1237    We made this a requirement in 1.4.2, but only noted it in NEWS.
1238
1239* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1240
1241* Replace references to "libav" with "FFmpeg" since the libav project seems to
1242  now be defunct, and we've always supported using either.
1243
1244* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros and drop
1245  probes for features that we can safely assume now we require a C99 compiler
1246  and workarounds for obsolete platforms.
1247
1248* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
1249
[a30f7d0]1250Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
[1a67f93]1251
1252* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
1253
1254* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
[a30f7d0]1255  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
[1a67f93]1256
1257* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
1258
1259* Minor translation updates.
1260
[269106c]1261Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
1262
1263* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
1264  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
1265
1266* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
1267  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
1268  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
1269  checks that were rejecting this.
1270
1271  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
1272  really do that's better than that.
1273
1274  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
1275
1276* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
1277  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
1278  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
1279  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
1280  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
1281
1282* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
1283  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
1284
1285* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
1286  bearing spin control.
1287
1288* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
1289  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
1290  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
1291  currently but please report issues.
1292
1293* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
1294  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
1295  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
1296  position".
1297
1298* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
1299  Reported by echarlie
1300
1301* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
1302
[fcf3d2e]1303Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
[4c0900b]1304
[4659b8a]1305* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
[4c0900b]1306
1307* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
1308  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
1309
1310* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
1311  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
1312
1313* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
1314  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
1315
[4659b8a]1316* Minor translation updates.
[4c0900b]1317
[4659b8a]1318* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
1319  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
1320  works on Wayland).
[4c0900b]1321
1322* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
1323  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
1324
[fcf3d2e]1325* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
1326
[4659b8a]1327* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
1328  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
1329  Requested by Martin Budaj.
1330
[a33237fd]1331Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
[d2b22b1]1332
1333* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
1334
1335* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
1336
[48d5a6f]1337* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
1338  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
1339
[a33237fd]1340* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
1341  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
1342  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
1343  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
1344
[48d5a6f]1345* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
1346  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
1347  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1348
1349* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
1350  string properly.
[d2b22b1]1351
[a33237fd]1352* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
1353  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
1354  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
1355  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
1356  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
1357  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
1358  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
1359
1360* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
1361  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
1362
1363  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
1364
[d2b22b1]1365* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
1366  where the included filename is actually specified.
1367
1368* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
1369  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
1370
[a33237fd]1371* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
1372  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
1373  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
1374
[48d5a6f]1375* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
1376  running on the Continuous Integration system.
1377
[a33237fd]1378* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
[84c4a07]1379  newer version of Innosetup.  This means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the
1380  minimum supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support
1381  anyway.
[a33237fd]1382
1383* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
1384  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
1385
[d2b22b1]1386* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1387
[d8f00a9]1388* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
1389  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
1390  inconvenience anyone.
1391
[570b57d]1392Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
1393
1394* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
1395
1396* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
1397  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
1398  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
1399  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
1400
1401* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
1402  in 1.4.0.
1403
1404* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
1405
[67f9739]1406Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
[3b69f29]1407
1408* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
[cccc545]1409  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
1410  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
1411  Couwenberg.
[3b69f29]1412
1413  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
1414  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
1415  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
1416  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
1417
1418  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
[e91c656]1419  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
[3b69f29]1420
1421* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
1422  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
1423  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
1424
1425* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
1426  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
1427  strings is strongly discouraged.
1428
1429  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
1430
1431  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
1432
[67f9739]1433  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
1434  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
[3b69f29]1435
1436* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
1437  Green.
1438
1439* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
1440  echarlie.
1441
1442* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
1443  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
1444  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
1445
1446* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
1447
[67f9739]1448* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
1449
[3b69f29]1450* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
1451
1452* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
1453
1454* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
1455  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
1456  stations not attached to a fixed point.
1457
[738af38]1458Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
1459
1460* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
1461  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
1462  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
1463  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
1464  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
1465
1466* aven:
1467
1468  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
1469    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
1470    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
1471    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
1472    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
1473    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
1474
1475* testsuite:
1476
1477  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
1478    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
1479    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
1480    process exits.
1481
1482* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
1483
[38bc415]1484Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
1485
1486* aven:
1487
1488  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
[f9de21a]1489
1490* cavern:
1491
[66b477f]1492  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
1493
1494  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
1495    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
1496    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
1497
[f9de21a]1498  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
1499    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
1500    until the next *data command with parameters.
1501
1502  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
1503    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
1504
1505  * Improve test coverage.
1506
1507* survexport:
1508
1509  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
1510    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
1511
1512  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
1513    Batista.
1514
1515* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
1516  Holder.
1517
[66b477f]1518* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
1519  from Thomas Holder.
1520
[f9de21a]1521* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
1522  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
1523
1524* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
1525
1526* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1527
1528* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
1529
1530* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
1531
1532* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
1533
[fe8a1b4]1534Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
1535
1536* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
1537  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
1538  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
1539
1540* aven:
1541
1542  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
1543    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
1544    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
1545
1546  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
1547    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
1548    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
1549    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
1550
1551  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
1552    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
1553    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
1554
1555  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
1556
[040c02e]1557Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
1558
1559* aven:
1560
1561  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
1562
1563  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
1564    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
1565    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
1566
1567  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
1568    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
1569    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
1570    orientation.
1571
1572* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
1573  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
1574  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
1575  Richard Knapp.
1576
1577* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
1578  might still need to use them for.
1579
1580* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
1581
1582* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
1583
1584* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
1585  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
1586  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
1587  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
1588
1589* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
1590  is now the recommended approach.
1591
[0957d63]1592Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
1593
1594* aven:
1595
1596  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1597    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
1598    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
1599    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
1600    Brian Clipstone.
1601
1602  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
1603    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
1604
[d034033]1605Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
1606
1607* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
1608  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
1609  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
1610
1611* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
1612  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
1613  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
1614  with some compilers.
1615
1616* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
1617  installed.
1618
[9fe70e44]1619Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
1620
1621* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
1622  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
1623  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
1624
1625* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
1626  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
1627  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
1628
1629* aven:
1630
1631  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
1632    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
1633    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
1634    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
1635    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
1636    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
1637    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
1638    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
1639    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
1640    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
1641    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
1642
1643  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
1644
1645* Documentation:
1646
1647  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
1648
1649  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
1650    placeholder.
1651
1652  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
1653    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
1654
1655* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
1656  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
1657  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
1658
1659* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
1660  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
1661  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
1662  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
1663  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
1664  location to avoid confusion.
1665
1666* Add a few more message translations.
1667
1668* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
1669
[66b555d]1670Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
1671
1672* cavern:
1673
1674  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
1675    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
1676    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
1677    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
1678    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
1679
1680  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
1681    now reports "file not found" instead.
1682
1683  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
1684    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
1685    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
1686
1687* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
1688
1689* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
1690  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
1691  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
1692  removed.
1693
1694* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
1695  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
1696  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
1697  information.  Patch from James Begley.
1698
[3147062]1699Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
1700
1701* aven:
1702
1703  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
1704    controllable.
1705
1706  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1707
1708  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
1709    Patch from Robert Jones.
1710
1711  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
1712    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
1713    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
1714
[0482978]1715  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
1716    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
1717
[3ed7da1]1718* cavern:
[3147062]1719
[3ed7da1]1720  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
1721    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
[3147062]1722
[3ed7da1]1723  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
1724    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
1725    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
1726    go unnoticed.
[3147062]1727
1728* survexport:
1729
1730  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
1731    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
1732    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
1733
1734  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
1735    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
1736    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
1737    Stephen Crabtree.
1738
1739* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1740
1741* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
1742  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
1743
1744* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
1745  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
1746  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
1747  therion's team command.
1748
[26ab0a7]1749Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
1750
1751* aven:
1752
1753  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
1754
1755  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
1756    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
1757    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
1758    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
1759    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
1760    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
1761    for new entrances.
1762
1763  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
1764    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
1765    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
1766    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
1767
1768  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
1769
1770  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
1771    to show via the right-click menu.
1772
1773  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
1774    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
1775    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
1776    child surveys of the parent.
1777
1778  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
1779    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
1780    survey.
1781
1782  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
1783    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
1784
1785  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
1786
1787  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
1788    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
1789
1790  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
1791    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
1792    filtering this matters more).
1793
1794* survexport:
1795
1796  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
1797    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
1798
1799  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
1800
1801* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
1802
1803* Minor translation updates.
1804
1805* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
1806
1807* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
1808
1809* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
1810
[facb636]1811Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
1812
1813* aven:
1814
1815  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
1816    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
1817    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
1818    on screen, printed and exported.
1819
1820  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
1821    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
1822    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
1823    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
1824    survey.
1825
1826  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
1827    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
1828    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
1829    view.  Reported by Wookey.
1830
1831  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
1832    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
1833    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
1834
1835  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
1836    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
1837
1838  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
1839    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
1840
1841  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
1842    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
1843
1844  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
1845    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
1846
1847  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
1848    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
1849
1850* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
1851  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
1852  tools could do, plus much more.
1853
1854* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
1855
1856* Minor updates to various other translations.
1857
1858* img library:
1859
1860  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
1861
1862  + Improve API documentation.
1863
1864* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
1865  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
1866  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
1867
1868* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
1869  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
1870  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
1871  control what gets exported.
1872
[5279c800]1873Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
1874
1875* aven:
1876
1877  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1878    of 1.2.33.
1879
1880  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
1881
[f057bc1]1882Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
1883
1884* aven:
1885
1886  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
1887    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
1888    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
1889    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
1890
1891  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
1892    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
1893    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
1894    Erin Lynch.
1895
1896  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
1897    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
1898    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
1899
1900  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
1901    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
1902    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
1903    unnecessarily.
1904
1905  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
1906    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
1907    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
1908    for this control).
1909
1910  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
1911    under GTK3.
1912
1913  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
1914    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
1915    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
1916
1917  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
1918    current development version).
1919
1920  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
1921    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
1922    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
1923
1924* cavern:
1925
1926  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
1927    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
1928    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
1929    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
1930    "19".
1931
1932* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
1933  Evaristo Quiroga.
1934
1935* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1936
1937* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
1938  milosch.
1939
1940* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
1941  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
1942  translated messages.
1943
1944* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
1945  Indonesian and Polish.
1946
1947* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
1948  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
1949  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1950
1951* Fix a few compiler warnings.
1952
1953* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
1954  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
1955  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
1956
1957* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
1958
1959  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
1960    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
1961    but happens to fail if it isn't.
1962
1963  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
1964
1965  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
1966
1967  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
1968
1969* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
1970  detected at run time on macOS.
1971
1972* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
1973  by the homebrew formula.
1974
1975* buildmacosx.sh:
1976
1977  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
1978    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
1979
1980  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
1981
1982* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
1983  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
1984
[66576b6]1985Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
1986
1987* aven:
1988
1989  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
1990    and Anthony Day.
1991
1992  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
1993    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
1994    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1995    Erin Lynch in #89.
1996
1997  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
1998    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
1999    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
2000    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
2001    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
2002    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
2003    elevations.
2004
2005  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
2006    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
2007    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
2008
2009  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
2010    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
2011    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
2012    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
2013    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
2014    "on".
2015
2016  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
2017    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
2018
2019  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
2020    the display wouldn't update right away.
2021
2022* Manual:
2023
2024  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
2025
2026  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
2027
2028* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
2029  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
2030  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
2031  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
2032  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
2033
[28695f1]2034Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
[11c814b]2035
2036* aven:
2037
2038  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
2039    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
2040    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
2041
2042  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
2043    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
2044    before by others.
2045
2046  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
2047
2048  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
2049    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
2050    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
2051    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
2052    original change.
2053
[28695f1]2054  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
2055    which extends beyond the end of the line).
[11c814b]2056
2057  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
2058    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
2059
2060  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
2061
[28695f1]2062  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
[11c814b]2063
[28695f1]2064  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
2065    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
2066    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
2067    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
2068    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
2069    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
2070    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
[11c814b]2071
2072  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
2073    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
2074
[28695f1]2075  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
2076    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
2077    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
2078
2079  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
2080    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
2081    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
2082    much vertical range.
2083
2084  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
2085    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
2086    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
2087    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
2088    are drawn in this way.
2089
2090  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
2091    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
2092    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
2093    centre should be a single pixel.
[11c814b]2094
2095* cavern:
2096
[28695f1]2097  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
2098    entering passage data where there are side passages.
2099
2100  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
2101    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
2102
[11c814b]2103  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
2104    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
[28695f1]2105    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
2106    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
[11c814b]2107
2108  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
2109    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
2110    Reported by Erin Lynch.
2111
2112  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
2113    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
2114    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
2115    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
2116
2117  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
2118    other messages.
2119
[28695f1]2120* extend:
2121
2122  + Now runs a bit faster.
2123
2124  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
2125    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
2126    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
2127    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
2128    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
2129    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
2130    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
2131    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
2132    be handled better) most welcome.
2133
2134* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
2135
2136* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
2137
2138* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
2139  translations from therion.
2140
2141* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
2142  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
2143
[11c814b]2144* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
2145  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
2146  Footleg.
2147
[28695f1]2148* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
2149
2150* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
[11c814b]2151
[56b37f3]2152Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
2153
2154* aven:
2155
2156  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
2157    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2158
2159  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
2160    Suggested by detrito.
2161
2162  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
2163    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
2164
2165  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
2166    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
2167
2168* Add man page for dump3d.
2169
[d0418ac]2170Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
2171
2172* aven:
2173
2174  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
2175    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
2176
2177  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
[53c1e5d]2178    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
[d0418ac]2179
2180* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
2181  Lynch and "detrito".
2182
2183* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
2184  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
2185
[6897356]2186Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
[0d8f67a]2187
2188* cavern:
2189
2190  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
2191    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
2192    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
2193    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
2194    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
2195
2196  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
2197
2198  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
2199
2200  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
2201    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
2202    degrees).
[99b3298]2203
2204* aven:
2205
2206  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
2207    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
2208    Day.
2209
2210  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
2211    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
2212
2213  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
2214    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
2215
[0d8f67a]2216  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
2217    of the line in cavern log window.
2218
[99b3298]2219  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
2220
2221  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
2222
[6897356]2223  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
2224    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
2225    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
2226    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
2227    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
2228
[0d8f67a]2229  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
2230    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
2231    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
2232
[99b3298]2233  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
2234
2235  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
2236
2237  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
2238    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
2239    Atkinson and myself.
2240
2241  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
2242
2243  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
2244    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
2245    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
2246    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
2247    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
2248    survey.
2249
2250  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
2251    lines on my netbook.
2252
2253  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
2254    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
2255    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
2256
[6897356]2257  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
2258    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
2259    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
2260    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
2261    glitches.
2262
2263  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
2264    we currently list, though slower to write.
2265
2266  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
2267    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
2268
2269  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
2270    warnings when building against a recent version.
2271
[99b3298]2272  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
2273    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
2274    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
2275    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
2276
[f55cbeb]2277  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
2278    movie export.
2279
2280  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
2281    export.
2282
[99b3298]2283* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
2284  James Begley.
2285
[0d8f67a]2286* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
2287  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
2288
[99b3298]2289* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
2290
[7333c2c]2291* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
2292  messages get used automatically.
2293
2294* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
2295  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
2296
[0d8f67a]2297* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
2298
2299* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
2300
2301* Use https for more URLs which support it.
2302
[690fdab]2303Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
[dfe8d05]2304
2305* aven:
2306
2307  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
2308    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
2309    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
2310    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
2311    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
2312    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
2313    probably change in the future).
2314
[690fdab]2315  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
2316    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
2317    the survey tree root.
[dfe8d05]2318
[690fdab]2319  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
2320    the view was recentred).
[dfe8d05]2321
2322  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
2323    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
2324    wrong direction).
2325
2326  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
2327    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
2328    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
2329
[690fdab]2330  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
2331    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
2332    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
2333    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
[dfe8d05]2334
2335  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
2336    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
2337
[690fdab]2338  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
2339    addresses #60.
2340
2341  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
2342
2343  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
2344    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
2345    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
2346
2347  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
2348
2349  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
2350    360 or down past 0.
2351
2352  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
2353    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
2354    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
2355    real-valued ones.
[dfe8d05]2356
2357  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
2358    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
2359
[690fdab]2360  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
2361    Lynch.
[dfe8d05]2362
[690fdab]2363  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
2364
2365  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
2366    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
2367
2368  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
2369    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
2370    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
2371
2372  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
2373    should now work.
[dfe8d05]2374
2375* cavern:
2376
2377  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
2378
2379  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
2380    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
2381    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
2382
2383  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
2384    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
2385    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
2386
[3ca8ad2]2387  + Fix check for end of version number array in *require.  We would check up
[dfe8d05]2388    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
2389    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
2390    issue.
2391
2392  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
2393    by patch from Colin Watson.
2394
[690fdab]2395  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
2396
[dfe8d05]2397* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
2398
2399* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
2400  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
2401
[690fdab]2402* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
2403  used in the same dataset.
2404
[dfe8d05]2405* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
2406  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
2407
2408* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
2409  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
2410  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
2411
2412* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
2413
[cd746b9]2414Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
2415
2416* aven:
2417
2418  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
2419    cavern again.
2420
[8ee50db]2421* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
2422  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
2423  location and use the same start menu folder.
2424
2425* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
2426  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
2427
2428* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
2429  by James Begley.
2430
[cd5cd8f]2431Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
[4e92bec]2432
[cd5cd8f]2433* aven:
[4e92bec]2434
[cd5cd8f]2435  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
2436    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
2437    to address.
[4e92bec]2438
[cd5cd8f]2439  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
2440    over the survey tree.
[4e92bec]2441
[cd5cd8f]2442  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
[4e92bec]2443
[cd5cd8f]2444  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
2445    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]2446
[cd5cd8f]2447  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
2448    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
2449    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
2450    encoded.
[4e92bec]2451
[cd5cd8f]2452  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
2453    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
2454    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
2455    terminals which do still support this.
[4e92bec]2456
[cd5cd8f]2457  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
2458    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
[4e92bec]2459
[cd5cd8f]2460* cavern:
[4e92bec]2461
[cd5cd8f]2462  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
2463    Edwards (see #78).
[4e92bec]2464
[cd5cd8f]2465  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
2466    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
2467    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
2468    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
[4e92bec]2469
[cd5cd8f]2470  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
2471    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
2472    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
[4e92bec]2473
[cd5cd8f]2474  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
2475    from Pete Smart (see #69).
[4e92bec]2476
[cd5cd8f]2477* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
2478  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
2479  Black.
[4e92bec]2480
[cd5cd8f]2481* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
[4e92bec]2482
[cd5cd8f]2483* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
2484  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
2485  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
2486  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
2487  Black.
[4e92bec]2488
[cd5cd8f]2489* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
2490  Black.
[4e92bec]2491
[cd5cd8f]2492* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
[4e92bec]2493
[cd5cd8f]2494* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
[4e92bec]2495
[cd5cd8f]2496* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]2497
[cd5cd8f]2498* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
[4e92bec]2499
[cd5cd8f]2500* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
[4e92bec]2501
[cd5cd8f]2502* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
2503  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
[4e92bec]2504
[cd5cd8f]2505* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
2506  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
2507  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
[4e92bec]2508
[cd5cd8f]2509* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
2510  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
2511  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
2512  privileges or not.
[4e92bec]2513
[52dad0e]2514Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
2515
2516* aven:
2517
2518  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
2519    Clipstone.
2520
2521  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
2522    Reported by Jenny Black.
2523
2524  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
2525    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
2526    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
2527
2528  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
2529    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
2530    messages.
2531
2532  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
2533    the terminal in 1.2.23.
2534
2535* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
2536  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
2537
2538* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
2539
2540* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
2541  by Wookey.
2542
[1ff33eb]2543Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
[1ed104f]2544
2545* aven:
2546
2547  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
2548    machines.
2549
2550  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
2551
2552  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
2553    already being processed.
2554
2555  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
2556    Reported by Martin Green.
2557
[d56a2d4]2558  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
2559
2560* cavern:
2561
2562  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
2563    find the original survey notes).
2564
2565  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
2566    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
2567    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
2568    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
2569    progress display to be useful.
[1ed104f]2570
2571* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
2572
[d56a2d4]2573* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
2574  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
2575
[1ed104f]2576* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
2577  running cavern.
2578
[53b6a5a]2579* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
2580  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
2581  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
2582
[7f7dbd5]2583Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
[d225571]2584
2585* aven:
2586
2587  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
2588    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
2589    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
2590    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
2591    finding this fix.
2592
2593* cavern:
2594
2595  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
2596
2597  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
2598    station.
2599
[7f7dbd5]2600  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
2601    *export.
2602
[2d865b7]2603Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
[31e9b72]2604
[03c259e]2605* aven:
2606
[2d865b7]2607  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
2608    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
2609    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
2610
[22f17f1]2611  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
2612
[03c259e]2613  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
2614    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
2615    does.
2616
[2d865b7]2617  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
2618    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
2619
2620  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
2621    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
2622
2623  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
2624    as appropriate.
2625
[03c259e]2626  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
2627    values on Windows.
2628
2629* cavern:
2630
[22f17f1]2631  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
2632    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
2633    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
2634
[2d865b7]2635  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
2636    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
2637
2638  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
2639    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
2640    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
[1687a13]2641    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
2642
2643  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
2644    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
2645    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
2646    Atkinson.
[2d865b7]2647
2648  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
2649    actual error rather than on a separate line.
[22f17f1]2650
[03c259e]2651  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
2652    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
2653    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
2654    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
2655
2656  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
2657    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
2658    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
2659
2660* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
2661  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
2662  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
2663  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
2664
2665* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
2666
[2d865b7]2667* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
2668  "*DECLINATION" command.
2669
[ab3b4a9]2670* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
2671  Reported by Jenny Black.
2672
2673* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
2674  documentation.
2675
[22f17f1]2676* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
2677  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
2678
2679* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
2680
[2d865b7]2681* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
2682
[7027ea1]2683Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
[0eaf4b1]2684
2685* aven:
2686
[6de8e942]2687  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
[31e9b72]2688    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
2689    the same or very similar by default.
[0eaf4b1]2690
2691  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
2692    Maynard.
2693
2694  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
2695
[7027ea1]2696  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
2697
2698  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
2699    away.
2700
2701  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
[6de8e942]2702
2703  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
2704    display it.
2705
2706* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
2707  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
2708  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
2709  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
2710
[0eaf4b1]2711* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
2712
2713* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
2714  before 1.2.19.
2715
2716* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
2717  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
2718
2719* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
2720
2721* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
2722  disk image.
2723
[6de8e942]2724* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
2725
[0eaf4b1]2726* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
2727  libav features we don't use.
2728
2729* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
2730  a load of libav features we don't use.
2731
2732* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
2733  message in the installer.
2734
[1dc99d1]2735Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
[f96ac931]2736
2737* aven:
2738
2739  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
2740    the exported file in 1.2.18.
2741
[2dac61e1]2742  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
2743
[4b67f71]2744  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
2745    exit full screen mode.
2746
2747  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
2748    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
2749    using since 1.2.7).
[2dac61e1]2750
[f96ac931]2751  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
2752    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
2753    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
2754    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
[2dac61e1]2755    St. Lawrence.
[f96ac931]2756
2757  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
2758    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
2759
2760  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
2761    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
2762    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
2763
2764  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
2765    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
2766    case like we do on other platforms.
2767
[739440f]2768  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
2769
[2dac61e1]2770  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
2771    support multi-monitor setups.
2772
[f96ac931]2773  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
2774    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
2775
[4b67f71]2776  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
2777    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
2778
[f96ac931]2779  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
2780    cases.
2781
[2dac61e1]2782  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
2783    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
2784    Erin Lynch)
2785
2786  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
2787    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
2788    items in in so it uses the full width.
[f96ac931]2789
2790  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
2791    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
2792    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
2793    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
2794    window.
2795
[2dac61e1]2796  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
2797    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
2798    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
2799    only relevant on the first ever run.
[f96ac931]2800
2801* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
2802
2803* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
2804  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
2805  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
2806  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
2807  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
2808  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
2809
[4b67f71]2810* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
2811  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
2812
[3f02aa4]2813Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
[2595419]2814
[4a8031f]2815* aven:
[a5670c7]2816
[4a8031f]2817  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
2818    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
2819    rendering it as a transparent surface.
[a5670c7]2820
[4a8031f]2821  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
2822    sanely want to perform from the menu.
[a5670c7]2823
[4a8031f]2824  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
2825    colouring options.
[a5670c7]2826
[4a8031f]2827  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
[a5670c7]2828
[4a8031f]2829  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
2830    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
2831    pressing "Escape".
[a5670c7]2832
[38e5701]2833  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
2834    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
2835
[4a8031f]2836  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
2837    exporting.
[a5670c7]2838
[38e5701]2839  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
2840
2841  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
2842    is quite likely to change.
2843
[4a8031f]2844  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
2845    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
[a5670c7]2846
[4a8031f]2847  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
2848    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
2849    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
2850
2851  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
2852
2853  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
2854    markers in orange.
2855
2856  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
2857    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
2858
2859  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
2860    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
2861    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
2862    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
2863    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
2864    them would be better.
2865
2866  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
2867    Gee.
2868
2869  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
2870    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
2871    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
2872
2873  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
2874
2875* cavern:
[0476b10]2876
[38e5701]2877  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
2878    susscorfa).
2879
[4a8031f]2880  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
[38e5701]2881    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
[4a8031f]2882
2883  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
2884
2885  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
2886    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
2887
2888  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
2889    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
2890
2891* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
2892
2893* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
2894  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
2895  in a modern desktop.
[a5670c7]2896
[dd65182]2897* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
2898  the filename in the error message.
2899
[4a8031f]2900* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
2901  most complete translations.
[dd65182]2902
[4a8031f]2903* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
[dd65182]2904
[4a8031f]2905* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
2906  lacks them.
[dd65182]2907
[4a8031f]2908* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
2909
2910* Manual:
2911
2912  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
2913    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
2914
2915  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
[dd65182]2916
[4a8031f]2917  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
[dd65182]2918
[4a8031f]2919  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
2920    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
2921    available for download.
2922
2923* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
2924  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
2925  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
[2595419]2926
[4a8031f]2927* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
[dd65182]2928
[3f02aa4]2929* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
2930
[1646310]2931Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
[a6064e2]2932
2933* MacOS X version:
2934
2935  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
2936
[e067870]2937  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
[9e053fc]2938
[e067870]2939  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
2940
2941  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
[9e053fc]2942
2943  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
2944    currently do this for us.
2945
[a6064e2]2946  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
2947
2948  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
2949
[9e053fc]2950  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
2951
2952  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
2953    OS X cursor.
2954
[e067870]2955  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
2956    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
2957    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
2958    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
2959    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
2960    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
2961    with TextEdit.app for example).
2962
2963  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
2964    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
2965
[a6064e2]2966  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
2967
[9e053fc]2968  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
2969    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
2970
2971  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
2972    Riggs.
2973
2974  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
2975    space.
2976
[4baea3a]2977  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
[9e053fc]2978
2979  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
2980    10.10.1.
2981
2982  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
2983    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
2984    errors.
2985
[4baea3a]2986  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
2987    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
2988    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
2989    wxWidgets build supports by default.
2990
[e067870]2991  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
2992
[a6064e2]2993* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
2994  treat as a single leg.
2995
[9e053fc]2996* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
2997
2998* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
2999
3000* aven:
3001
3002  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
3003    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
3004
3005  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
3006    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
3007    1:500).
3008
3009  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
3010    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
3011    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
3012    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
3013
3014  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
3015    there rather than the two animations fighting.
3016
3017  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
3018    fast.
3019
3020  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
3021    when rotating).
3022
[1646310]3023  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
3024    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
3025
3026* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
3027  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
3028
3029* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
3030
3031* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
3032
3033* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
3034
3035* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
[e067870]3036
[a6064e2]3037* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
3038  we're using git.
3039
[1646310]3040* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
3041
3042  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
3043    compass.
3044
3045  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
3046
3047  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
[a6064e2]3048
[03d0e8b]3049Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
[9aa10ad]3050
3051* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
3052
[f480117d]3053* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
3054
[9aa10ad]3055* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
3056
3057* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
3058  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
3059
3060* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
3061
3062* tests/: Improve test coverage.
3063
[7bd113b]3064* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
3065  Greek and Polish.
[9aa10ad]3066
3067* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
3068  by Martin Sluka.
3069
3070* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
3071  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
3072
[44f51ca]3073Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
3074
3075* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
3076  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
3077  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
3078  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
3079  for *cs has also been improved.
3080
3081* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
3082  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
3083  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
3084  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
3085
3086* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
3087  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
3088  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
3089  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
3090  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
3091
3092* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
3093  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
3094  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
3095
3096* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
3097
3098* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
3099
3100* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
3101  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
3102  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
3103
3104* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
3105  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
3106
[6a87cce]3107Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
[5c676e2]3108
[1efeb6d]3109* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
3110  system in use in 3d v8 files.
3111
3112* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
3113  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
[6a87cce]3114  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
3115  export dialog.
[1efeb6d]3116
[ea59b58]3117* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
3118  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
3119  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
3120  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
3121  rather than having one corner there.
3122
[26e7fa4]3123* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
3124  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
3125
[5c676e2]3126* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
3127  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
3128
[515b83e]3129* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
3130  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
3131  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
3132
[5c676e2]3133* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
3134  such as 64-bit Linux.
3135
[2c5ec88]3136* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
3137  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
3138
[5c676e2]3139* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
3140  64-bit platforms.
3141
[ea59b58]3142* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
3143  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
3144  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
3145
[2c5ec88]3146* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
3147  the space available in the aven UI.
3148
[1efeb6d]3149* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
3150  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
3151  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
[ea59b58]3152
[515b83e]3153* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
3154  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
3155
[6a87cce]3156* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
3157  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
3158  about unconnected surveys.
3159
3160* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
3161  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
3162
[67a0fc6]3163* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
3164  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
3165  freed memory.
3166
[1efeb6d]3167* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
3168
3169* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
3170
[2c5ec88]3171* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
3172
[5c676e2]3173* Fix a compiler warning.
3174
3175* Improve test coverage.
3176
[0d365be]3177Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
[acbb5b1]3178
[8ccd1d8]3179* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
3180  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
3181  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
3182
[acbb5b1]3183* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
3184  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
3185  Hugh St Lawrence.
3186
[0d365be]3187* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
[8ccd1d8]3188  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
3189  with using aven on a touch screen device.
3190
[acbb5b1]3191* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
3192  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
3193
3194* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
3195  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
3196
3197* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
3198  off and back on.
3199
3200* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
3201  up time a little.
3202
3203* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
3204  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
3205
3206* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
3207  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
3208  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
3209  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
3210  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
3211  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
3212  situation too.
3213
3214* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
3215  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
3216  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
3217
3218* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
3219
3220* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
3221
3222* Minor translation updates to French.
3223
3224* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
3225
3226* Testsuite improvements:
3227
3228  + Test that "..." anon station works.
3229
3230  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
3231    fail and give an error count.
3232
3233  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
3234
[ad727d8]3235Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
[46d12e9]3236
[63e8642]3237* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
3238  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
3239  Clipstone.
[46d12e9]3240
[ad727d8]3241* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
3242
3243* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
3244
3245  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
3246    overlap the scale bar ticks.
3247
3248  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
3249    clipping the border in print preview.
3250
3251  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
3252
[63e8642]3253* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
3254  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
[46d12e9]3255
[63e8642]3256* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
3257  available.
[46d12e9]3258
[ad727d8]3259* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
3260
3261* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
3262
3263* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
3264  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
3265
[63e8642]3266* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
3267  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
[46d12e9]3268
[63e8642]3269* Various translation updates.
[46d12e9]3270
[aac3336]3271Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
[fb941bfd]3272
3273* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
3274  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
3275
[aac3336]3276* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
3277  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
3278  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
3279  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
3280
[ad3017d]3281* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
3282  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
3283
[77bdacf]3284* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
3285  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
[ad3017d]3286
3287* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
3288  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
3289
3290* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
3291  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
3292
3293* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
3294  box".
3295
3296* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
3297
3298* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
3299  indicators.
3300
3301* aven: All length units are now translatable.
3302
[fb941bfd]3303* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
3304  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
3305  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
3306
[ad3017d]3307* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
3308  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
3309  measurably slower.
3310
3311* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
3312  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
3313
[77bdacf]3314* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
3315  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
3316
[ad3017d]3317* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
3318  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
3319  from Therion and elsewhere.
3320
3321* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
3322  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
3323  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
[fb941bfd]3324
3325* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
3326  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
3327
3328* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
3329  A. Riggs for his work on this.
3330
3331* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
3332  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
3333
3334* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
3335
[ad3017d]3336* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
3337  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
3338  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
3339  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
3340  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
3341  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
3342
3343* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
3344
[0ecf3b1]3345Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
3346
3347* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
3348  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
3349  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
3350  Clipstone.
3351
[53966d3]3352* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
3353  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
3354
[6f0d0d8]3355* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
3356  exported SVG files.
3357
3358* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
3359
3360* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
3361  file.
3362
3363* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
3364  GPX files.
3365
3366* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
3367
[0ecf3b1]3368* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
3369  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
3370
3371* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
3372  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
3373  on startup.
3374
3375* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
3376
3377* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
3378  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
3379  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
3380  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
3381  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
3382  other extensions.
3383
3384* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
3385  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
3386  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
3387  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
3388  timezone wrong.
3389
3390* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
3391
[6f0d0d8]3392* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
3393  'SURVEY DATE:'.
[0ecf3b1]3394
[6f0d0d8]3395* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
[0ecf3b1]3396
[6f0d0d8]3397* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
[0ecf3b1]3398
[53966d3]3399* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
3400  enabled.
3401
[6b6fb4d]3402Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
3403
3404* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
3405
3406* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
3407
3408* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
3409
3410* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
3411  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
3412  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
3413
3414* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
3415  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
3416  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
3417
3418* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
3419  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
3420
3421* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
3422
3423* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
3424
3425* Fix some compiler warnings.
3426
[e1f27c4]3427Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
[da65891]3428
3429* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
3430  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
3431  Holder.
3432
[e1f27c4]3433* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
[034141d]3434  statistics when the value gets large.
3435
[a4adf09]3436* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
3437  equations.
3438
[e1f27c4]3439* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
3440  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
3441  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
3442  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
3443  better when the "View" box is hidden.
3444
[0056ee1]3445* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
3446  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
3447
[e1f27c4]3448* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
3449  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
3450  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
3451  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
3452  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
3453  way is coming soon.
3454
3455* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
3456  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
3457
3458* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
3459  time ago, so update references.
3460
3461* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
3462  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
3463
3464* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
3465  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
3466
3467* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
3468  Sebastian Ramacher.
3469
3470* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
3471
3472* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
3473
3474* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
3475
3476* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
3477
3478* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
3479
3480* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
3481  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
3482  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
3483
3484* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
3485
3486* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
[9fc1cac]3487
[88b54df6]3488* img library:
3489
[e1f27c4]3490  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
3491    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
3492    reading).
3493
3494  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
3495    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
3496
3497  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
3498    support these as an extension.
[88b54df6]3499
[f807d8bf]3500  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
3501
[e1f27c4]3502* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
3503  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
3504  itself has any translations for.
3505
3506* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
3507
3508* Minor translation updates.
3509
3510* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
3511
[e34bebc]3512Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
[65d9b6b]3513
[e34bebc]3514* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
3515  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
3516  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
3517  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
[a5c74f2]3518  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
3519  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
[e34bebc]3520  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
3521  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]3522
[e34bebc]3523* New version 8 of the 3d format:
[07beaa4]3524
[e34bebc]3525  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[07beaa4]3526
[e34bebc]3527  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
3528    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
[da9d788]3529
[e34bebc]3530  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
3531    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
[da9d788]3532
[e34bebc]3533  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
[da9d788]3534
[e34bebc]3535  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
3536    human-readable string.
[da9d788]3537
[e34bebc]3538  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
3539    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
[da9d788]3540
[e34bebc]3541* img library:
[da9d788]3542
[e34bebc]3543  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[da9d788]3544
[e34bebc]3545  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
3546    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
[da9d788]3547
[e34bebc]3548  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
3549    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
3550    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
3551    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
3552    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
3553    explicitly in the file.
[da9d788]3554
[e34bebc]3555  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
[da9d788]3556
[e34bebc]3557* aven:
[da9d788]3558
[e34bebc]3559  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
3560    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
3561    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
3562    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
3563    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
3564    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
[da9d788]3565
[e34bebc]3566  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
3567    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
3568    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
3569    queued up.
[da9d788]3570
[e34bebc]3571  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
3572    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
3573
3574  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
3575    them like other legs.
3576
3577  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
3578    station names to positions.
3579
3580  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
3581    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
3582    wrongly.
3583
3584  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
3585
3586  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
3587    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
3588    that's used by the desktop).
3589
3590  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
[07beaa4]3591
[e34bebc]3592  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
3593    error from cavern.
[07beaa4]3594
[e34bebc]3595  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
[da9d788]3596
[e34bebc]3597  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
3598    in the dialog in sync.
[da9d788]3599
[e34bebc]3600* cavern:
[3dfffa2]3601
[e34bebc]3602  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
3603    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
3604    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
[3dfffa2]3605
[e34bebc]3606  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
3607    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]3608
[e34bebc]3609  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
3610    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
3611    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
3612    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
3613    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
3614    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
3615    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
3616    degrees.
[da9d788]3617
[e34bebc]3618  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
3619    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
3620    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
[da9d788]3621
[e34bebc]3622  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
[da9d788]3623
[e34bebc]3624  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
3625    warnings.
[07beaa4]3626
[e34bebc]3627  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
3628    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
[07beaa4]3629
[e34bebc]3630  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
3631    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
[da9d788]3632
[e34bebc]3633  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
3634    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
3635    relevant.
[da9d788]3636
[e34bebc]3637  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
3638    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
3639    the same line.
[da9d788]3640
[e34bebc]3641  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
3642    "End of line not blank" error.
[7f6250a]3643
[e34bebc]3644  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
3645    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
[3dfffa2]3646
[e34bebc]3647  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
3648    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
[07beaa4]3649
[e34bebc]3650  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
3651    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
3652    include that character in the token reported.
[3dfffa2]3653
[e34bebc]3654  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
3655    first item.
[07beaa4]3656
[e34bebc]3657* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
[07beaa4]3658
[e34bebc]3659* dump3d:
[07beaa4]3660
[e34bebc]3661  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
3662    info from 3d files in scripts.
[07beaa4]3663
[e34bebc]3664  + Add --show-dates option.
[07beaa4]3665
[e34bebc]3666  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
[07beaa4]3667
[e34bebc]3668  + Report the data style of legs.
[da9d788]3669
[e34bebc]3670  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
3671
3672  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
[3dfffa2]3673
3674* Test suite:
3675
3676  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
3677    expected output so it passes reliably.
3678
[e34bebc]3679  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
3680    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
3681
[07beaa4]3682  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
3683    for more.
3684
[e34bebc]3685* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
3686  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
3687  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
[3dfffa2]3688
3689* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
3690  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
3691
3692* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
3693  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
3694
[e34bebc]3695* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
[665183c]3696  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
[e34bebc]3697  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
3698  settings.
3699
3700* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
3701  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
3702  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
3703  set correctly.
3704
3705* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
3706  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
3707  them to translate.
3708
[07beaa4]3709* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
3710  close to complete.
[3dfffa2]3711
3712* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
3713
[07beaa4]3714* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
3715
[e34bebc]3716* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
3717
[c575465]3718Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
[b081031]3719
3720* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
3721
3722* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
3723  package (ticket#35).
3724
3725* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
3726  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
3727  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
3728
3729* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
3730  Kahler.
3731
3732* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
[c575465]3733  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
3734  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
3735  libproj and build survex with:
3736
3737      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3738      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
[b081031]3739
3740* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
3741
3742* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
3743
3744* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
3745  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
3746  file".
3747
[685116f]3748Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
3749
3750* aven:
3751
3752  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
3753
3754  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
3755    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
3756
3757  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
3758
3759  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
3760
3761  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
3762    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
3763
3764* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
3765  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
3766  error early on).
3767
3768* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
3769  the man page source as well as in the filename.
3770
[f15ca67f]3771Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
3772
3773* aven:
3774
3775  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
3776    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
3777    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
3778    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
3779
[c505ae0]3780  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and choose a consistent
[f15ca67f]3781    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
3782
3783  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
3784
3785  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
3786
3787  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
3788
3789* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
3790
[5b9942e]3791Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
3792
3793* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
3794
3795* (Mac OS X version):
3796
3797  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
3798
3799  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
3800
3801  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
3802    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
3803
3804  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
3805
3806* aven:
3807
3808  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
3809
3810  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
3811
3812    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
3813      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
3814      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
3815      character.
3816
3817    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
3818      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
3819      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
3820      and two in a few cases.
3821
3822    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
3823      8 pixels.
3824
3825  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
3826    draw crosses.
3827
[3ea0178]3828  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
3829    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
3830    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
3831    is the start or end of a tube.
3832
[5b9942e]3833  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
3834    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
3835
3836  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
3837    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
3838    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
3839
[3ea0178]3840* extend:
3841
3842  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
[5b9942e]3843
[3ea0178]3844  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
3845    which means "no info").
3846
3847* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
3848  was no longer used - it certainly is!
3849
3850* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
3851  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
3852  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
3853  current character set.
[5b9942e]3854
[3ea0178]3855* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
[5b9942e]3856
3857* Test suite:
3858
3859  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
3860
3861  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
3862
[94960ad]3863Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
3864
3865* aven:
3866
3867  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
3868    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
3869    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
3870    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
3871    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
3872    usable format.
3873
3874  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
3875    files.  (ticket#26)
3876
3877  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
3878    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
3879
[53f8a93]3880  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
3881    using lines.
3882
[94960ad]3883  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
3884    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
3885
3886  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
3887    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
3888    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
3889    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
3890
3891  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
3892    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
3893    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
3894
3895  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
3896    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
3897    in 1.2.1.
3898
[9704252]3899Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
[e3c58c3]3900
3901* Translation updates for US English.
3902
3903* aven:
3904
3905  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
3906    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
3907
3908  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
3909
3910  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
3911    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
3912    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
3913    visually similar to the survey legs.
3914
3915  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
3916    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
3917
[9704252]3918  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
3919    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
3920    does still provide some useful information).
3921
3922  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
3923    a depth band boundary.
[e3c58c3]3924
3925  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
[9704252]3926    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
3927    full-screen mode).
[e3c58c3]3928
3929  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
3930    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
3931    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
3932    are a little better, though still not perfect.
3933
3934  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
3935    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
3936
3937  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
3938    that station.
3939
3940  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
3941    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
3942
3943  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
3944    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
3945    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
[9704252]3946    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
3947    a case as it is a bug).
[e3c58c3]3948
[9704252]3949  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
3950    invalidated on window width or height changes.
[e3c58c3]3951
3952  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
3953    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
3954    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
3955    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
3956
[9704252]3957  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
3958    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
3959    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
3960    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
3961    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
3962    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
3963    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
[e3c58c3]3964
3965  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
3966    similarly for other compass points.
3967
3968  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
3969    info in the "About" dialog.
3970
3971  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
3972    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
3973
3974  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
3975    as well as still working with older versions.
3976
3977  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
3978    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
3979
3980  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
3981    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
3982    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
3983    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
3984    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
3985
3986  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
3987    nicer and make better use of the available space.
3988
3989  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
3990    dialog.
3991
3992  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
3993    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
3994
3995  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
3996    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
3997
[9704252]3998  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
3999
[e3c58c3]4000  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
4001
4002  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
4003    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
4004    being pressed and toggle full screen.
4005
4006* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
4007  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
4008
4009* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
4010
4011* More messages are now available to be translated.
4012
4013* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
4014  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
4015
4016* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
4017
4018* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
4019  sudo for installing on Unix.
4020
4021* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
4022  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
4023
4024* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
4025  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
4026
4027* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
4028
[120c1c6]4029Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
[b4ac7007]4030
4031* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
4032  English.
4033
[9cfcb3f]4034* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
4035  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
4036  case.
4037
4038* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
4039  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
4040  these into Survex's .msg format.
4041
[b4ac7007]4042* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
4043  an actual command).
4044
[9cfcb3f]4045* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
4046  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
4047  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
4048  recurrence of that).
4049
[b4ac7007]4050* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
4051  than /usr/doc/survex.
4052
4053* aven:
4054
[120c1c6]4055  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
4056
[9cfcb3f]4057  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
4058    nicer at larger sizes.
4059
[b4ac7007]4060  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
4061    with GLX >= 1.3.
4062
4063  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
4064
4065  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
[4095cc0]4066    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
4067    required libraries set up for building releases.
[b4ac7007]4068
4069  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
4070
4071  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
4072
4073  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
4074    rendered with icons on some platforms.
4075
[9cfcb3f]4076  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
4077    ISO8859-1).
4078
4079  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
4080    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
4081
4082  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
4083    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
4084
[b4ac7007]4085* cavern:
4086
4087  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
4088    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
4089    fatal error!
4090
[9cfcb3f]4091  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
4092    format to output.  (ticket#21)
4093
4094* img library:
4095
4096  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
4097    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
4098
[b4ac7007]4099* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
[120c1c6]4100  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
[b4ac7007]4101
[8f9b0b6d]4102Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]4103
4104* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
4105  Portuguese, and US English.
4106
4107* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]4108  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]4109
4110* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
4111  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
4112
4113* img.c:
4114
4115  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
4116
4117  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
4118
4119* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
4120
[8f9b0b6d]4121* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
4122  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
4123  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
4124  translated.
4125
[f5e3521]4126Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]4127
4128* aven:
4129
4130  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
4131    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
4132
4133  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
4134    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
4135    addresses ticket#12.
4136
4137  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
4138    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
4139    consistent shape.
4140
4141  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
4142    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
4143    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
4144    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
4145
4146  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
4147    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
4148
4149  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
4150
4151  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
4152    more places.
4153
4154  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]4155    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
4156
4157* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
4158
4159* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
4160  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
4161
4162* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]4163
4164* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
4165  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
4166  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
4167  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
4168  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
4169  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
4170
4171* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
4172  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
4173  redirecting to it.
4174
4175* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
4176  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
4177  I/O).
4178
4179* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
4180  headers.
4181
4182* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
4183
4184* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
4185  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
4186
4187* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
4188
[f9473ab]4189Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
4190
4191* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
4192
4193* aven:
4194
4195  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
4196    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
4197    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
4198    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
4199
4200  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
4201
4202  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
4203    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
4204    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
4205    a number.
4206
4207  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
4208    log window.
4209
4210  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
4211    various cases.
4212
4213  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
4214    (ticket#9)
4215
4216  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
4217    namespace with its own "Point" class.
4218
4219  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
4220    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
4221
4222  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
4223
4224  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
4225    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
4226
4227* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
4228  give them before.
4229
4230* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
4231  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
4232  point looking for them now.
4233
4234* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
4235  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
4236  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
4237  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
4238
4239* manual:
4240
4241  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
4242
4243  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
4244    (change taken from 1.0).
4245
4246* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
4247
[0bd49eb]4248Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]4249
4250* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
4251
[739b92c]4252* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]4253
4254* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]4255
4256* aven:
4257
[90d0d71]4258  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
4259
4260  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
4261    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
4262    seem to be Unicode now).
4263
4264  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
4265    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
4266
[e4bfd2f]4267  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
4268    text on the survey pane:
4269
4270    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
4271
4272    - Character spacing is improved.
4273
4274    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]4275
4276  + "About" dialog:
4277
4278    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
4279      bug reporting.
4280
4281    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
4282      modern gfx card.
4283
4284    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
4285
4286  + Processing .svx files:
4287
4288    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]4289
[739b92c]4290    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
4291      than opening a separate frame for it.
4292
[90d0d71]4293    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
4294
4295    - Fix small memory leak.
4296
4297  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
4298    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
4299    such a name.
4300
4301  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
4302
[e4bfd2f]4303  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
4304    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
4305    invocations.
4306
[90d0d71]4307  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
4308
4309  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
4310
[739b92c]4311  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
4312
[90d0d71]4313* Documentation:
4314
[e4bfd2f]4315  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
4316
4317  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
4318    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
4319    together isn't very useful.
4320
[90d0d71]4321  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
4322
4323  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
4324    the FSF website.
4325
4326  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
4327    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
4328    the source code.
4329
4330* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
4331  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]4332
[e4bfd2f]4333* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
4334  package from the source tarball.
4335
[739b92c]4336* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
4337  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
4338
[2e12f8c]4339Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]4340
4341* aven:
4342
[3db0798]4343  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
4344
[5940815]4345  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
4346
[6b2113d]4347  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
4348    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
4349    names/crosses).
4350
[920b066]4351Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
4352
4353* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
4354
[99d8798]4355* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
4356
[920b066]4357* aven:
[78c67a6]4358
[920b066]4359  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]4360
[920b066]4361  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]4362
[920b066]4363  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
4364    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]4365
[920b066]4366  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
4367    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]4368
[920b066]4369  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]4370
[920b066]4371  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
4372    depth colouring.
[99d8798]4373
[920b066]4374  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]4375
[920b066]4376  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]4377
[920b066]4378  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]4379
[920b066]4380  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]4381
[920b066]4382  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]4383
[920b066]4384  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]4385
[920b066]4386  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]4387
[920b066]4388  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]4389
[920b066]4390  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
4391    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]4392
[920b066]4393  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]4394
[920b066]4395  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
4396    default.
[99d8798]4397
[920b066]4398* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
4399  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]4400
[920b066]4401* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
4402  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]4403
[920b066]4404* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]4405
[920b066]4406* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]4407
[920b066]4408Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]4409
4410* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
4411  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
4412  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
4413  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
4414  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
4415
4416* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
4417  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
4418  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]4419
[ac3f376]4420* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
4421  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
4422  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
4423
4424* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
4425  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
4426  allowed).
4427
4428* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
4429
4430* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4431
4432* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4433
[920b066]4434Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]4435
4436* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
4437  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
4438
4439* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
4440  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
4441  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
4442
4443* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
4444  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
4445  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
4446  the new "*data passage" style.
4447
4448* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
4449  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
4450
4451* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
4452  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
4453  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
4454  some cases.
4455
4456* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
4457  with no survey loaded.
4458
4459* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
4460
4461* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
4462  loaded a survey.
4463
4464* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
4465
4466* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
4467
4468* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
4469  doesn't exist.
4470
4471* Updated French and Italian translations.
4472
4473* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]4474  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
4475
[6a2594be]4476* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
4477  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
4478  update their copy).
4479
4480* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
4481  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
4482  trying to compile).
4483
[920b066]4484Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]4485
[c988ae4]4486* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
4487  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
4488
[9577fcc]4489* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
4490  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
4491  has been disabled.
4492
[ecf2d23]4493* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
4494  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
4495  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
4496  time.
4497
[d1628e8e]4498* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
4499  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
4500  highlighted stations.
4501
[e67ed1b]4502* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
4503
[3ddd351]4504* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
4505  the tilt from plan to elevation.
4506
[c988ae4]4507* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
4508  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
4509
4510* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
4511  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
4512  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
4513
4514* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
4515  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
4516
4517* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
4518
[84f1ed1]4519* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
4520
[a884696]4521* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
4522
[9fe7af4f]4523* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
4524  run by an unprivileged user.
4525
4526* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
4527  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
4528  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
4529
4530* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
4531  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
4532
[cd39f67]4533* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
4534
[afffec4]4535* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]4536  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]4537
[38a192d]4538* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
4539  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
4540
[5892e08]4541* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
4542  if it isn't.
4543
[879e9c3]4544* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
4545  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
4546
[c8f929b]4547* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
4548  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
4549
4550* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
4551  reset to default view as well).
4552
4553* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
4554  empty.
4555
4556* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
4557  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
4558
[9ad92cc]4559* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]4560  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
4561  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]4562
4563* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
4564  and non-zero width lines.
4565
4566* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
4567  was turned on.
4568
4569* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
4570  not always being fully written.
4571
[920b066]4572Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]4573
4574* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
4575  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
4576  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
4577  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]4578
[8add4c9]4579* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
4580  with MS Windows).
4581
[9f524ee]4582* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
4583  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
4584  several surveys in the same directory).
4585
[185d793]4586* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]4587  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]4588
[3515947]4589* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
4590
[1235f9b]4591* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
4592  moved off a station.
4593
[4299674]4594* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]4595  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]4596
[60dbe70]4597* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
4598
[125c9ea]4599* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
4600  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
4601
[ec58e3d3]4602* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
4603  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
4604  dialogs.
4605
[8add4c9]4606* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
4607  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
4608
[6662d02]4609* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
4610  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]4611  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]4612
[b65c13f]4613* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
4614  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
4615  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
4616
[17cce5f]4617* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
4618  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
4619
[affaeee]4620* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
4621
[618b01f]4622* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
4623
[920b066]4624Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]4625
4626* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
4627  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
4628
[b88b171]4629* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
4630  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
4631  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
4632  3d file.
4633
[7e01c87]4634* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
4635
4636* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
4637
4638* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
4639  Instead turn off depth colouring.
4640
[8ea82aa]4641* aven: Export as HPGL added.
4642
[887c26e]4643* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
4644  Martin Green).
4645
[7c29c976]4646* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
4647  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
4648  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
4649
[7e01c87]4650* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]4651
[7e01c87]4652* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
4653  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
4654
4655* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
4656  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
4657  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
4658  of everything else.
4659
4660* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
4661  presentation icons.
4662
4663* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
4664  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]4665
[b46bf92]4666* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
4667
[796d7bf]4668* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
4669
[7e01c87]4670* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
4671
4672* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
4673
[b88b171]4674* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
4675  language to use for messages.
4676
[7c29c976]4677* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
4678  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
4679
[8ea82aa]4680* Removed old printer drivers.
4681
[7e01c87]4682* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
4683  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]4684
[920b066]4685Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]4686
4687* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
4688
[4ba80e0]4689* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
4690
4691* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
4692  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
4693
[95ce35f]4694* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
4695  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]4696
[95ce35f]4697* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
4698
[cd78148]4699* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
4700  underground legs is toggled.
4701
[f5627353]4702* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
4703  attached to the previous data.
4704
[dfe4a520]4705* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
4706  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
4707  them.
4708
[920b066]4709Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]4710
4711* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
4712
4713* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
4714  continental European countries).
4715
4716* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
4717  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
4718  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
4719
4720* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
4721
4722* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
4723  they're needed.
4724
4725* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
4726
4727* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
4728
4729* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
4730
4731* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
4732  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
4733  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
4734
4735* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
4736
[920b066]4737Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]4738
4739* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
4740
4741* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
4742
4743* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
4744
4745* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
4746
4747* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
4748
4749* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
4750
4751* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
4752  when there's a presentation loaded.
4753
4754* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
4755  in cave view.
4756
4757* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
4758
4759* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
4760  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
4761  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
4762
4763* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
4764  filename for file history and window title.
4765
4766* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
4767  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
4768  only needed with GTK1.2.
4769
4770* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
4771
4772* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
4773
4774* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
4775
4776* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
4777
4778Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]4779
4780* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
4781  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
4782  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
4783
4784* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
4785  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
4786
4787* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
4788  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
4789  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
4790  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]4791
[0e558e5]4792* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]4793
4794* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
4795  with --help and --version.
4796
4797* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
4798  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]4799  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]4800  Fixed all these problems.
4801
4802* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
4803  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
4804  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
4805
4806* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]4807  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
4808  sources.
[8faa5d8]4809
[0e558e5]4810* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]4811
4812* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
4813
4814* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
4815  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
4816
4817* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
4818  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
4819  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
4820  animating.
4821
4822* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
4823
4824* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
4825
4826* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
4827  to this branch.
4828
4829* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
4830
4831  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
4832
4833  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
4834
4835  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
4836
4837* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]4838
[8faa5d8]4839* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
4840  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
4841
4842* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
4843
4844* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]4845  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]4846
4847* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
4848
4849* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
4850  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
4851  for anyone building from CVS).
4852
4853* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
4854
[4855072]4855* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]4856
4857* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
4858
4859* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
4860
[0e558e5]4861* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
4862  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]4863  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
4864
4865* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
4866  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
4867
4868* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
4869
4870* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]4871  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
4872  loaded).
[8faa5d8]4873
4874* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
4875
[920b066]4876Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]4877
4878* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]4879  startup.
[a7aa27d9]4880
4881* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
4882  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
4883
[920b066]4884Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]4885
[91e416e]4886* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
4887  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
4888  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]4889
[91e416e]4890* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
4891  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
4892  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]4893
[91e416e]4894* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
4895  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
4896  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]4897
[91e416e]4898* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]4899
[0580c6a]4900* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
4901  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
4902
[4261983]4903* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
4904  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
4905
4906* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
4907  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]4908
[f80077a]4909* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]4910
[6abab84]4911* aven: Perspective view.
4912
[91e416e]4913* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]4914
[91e416e]4915* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
4916  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]4917
[1690fa9]4918* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
4919  and load/save/run them.
4920
