RevLine 
[e53ec10]1Changes in 1.0.40 (all backported from 1.1.13):
2
3* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
4
5* Recognise .3d file format version 6 so you can load .3d files processed by
6  1.1.12 and later.
7
[0333b3b]8* Documentation: Tilt up in aven, xcaverot, and caverot is apostrophe, not
9  comma!
10
11* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
12  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
13  dialogs.
14
15* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.
16
17* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
18  and non-zero width lines.
19
20* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
21  was turned on.
22
[b95ba56]23* cad3d: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
24
[362f3fa]25* (Unix version): Fix \ to appear correctly in 'man print.ini'.
26
[0333b3b]27* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
28  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[be2ad0b]29
[0333b3b]30* (MS Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
[9faed96]31  version of InnoSetup, which gives a smaller download.
32
33* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
34  run by an unprivileged user.
35
36* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
37  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
38  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
39
40* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
41  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
42
[a3abbf1]43Changes in 1.0.39:
[de3a7e2]44
45* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
46
[cbb0e89]47* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
48  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[14410eb]49
[7f5fba3]50* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
51  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).  Bug introduced in 1.0.38.
52
[189b89e]53* (Unix version): Debian: Updated "Build-Depends:" for the new X library
[5ec105c]54  packaging; Upgrade to debhelper >= 4.
[189b89e]55
[168df28]56Changes in 1.0.38 (all backported from 1.1.7):
57
58* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
59  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
60
61* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
62  language to use for messages.
63
64* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
65  Martin Green).
66
67* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
68
[ad83822]69* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
70
[168df28]71* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
72  continental European countries).
73
74* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
75  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
76  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
77
78* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
79
80* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
81  in cave view.
82
83* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
84
85* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
86  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
87  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
88
89* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
90  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this backported in 1.0.36 failed because
91  __WXGTK12__ is set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so it is true for
92  GTK+ 2.0 too!
93
94* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
95  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
96
97* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
98  keyboard focus there.
99
100* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
101  with MS Windows).
102
103* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
104  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
105  several surveys in the same directory).
106
107* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
108  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
109  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
110
111* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
112  attached to the previous data.
113
114* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
115  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
116  them.
117
118* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
119
[ea4b2d5]120Changes in 1.0.37:
121
122* cavern: Also ignore any arguments after "*data passage" which makes this
123  feature actually useful as intended.
124
125* aven: Recognise .3d file format versions 4 and 5 so you can load .3d files
126  processed by 1.1.x test builds.
127
128* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
129  filename for file history and window title.
130
[a7267a7]131Changes in 1.0.36:
132
133* cavern: Ignore "*data passage" data style so you can process files containing
134  LRUD data for Survex 1.1.3 and later.
135
136* cavern: Fix assertion failure when handling a survey with a station only
137  attached by a nosurvey leg.
138
[ea4b2d5]139* aven: The bearing used for a printout now defaults to the current view.
140  (This feature was accidentally broken between 1.0.31 and 1.0.32).
141
[a7267a7]142* Changes backported from 1.1.3:
143
144  + aven: Improve initial window sizing and placement on multimonitor
145    displays when using wx2.4 or earlier.
146
147  + testsuite: Fix cavern.tst to report misspelled test names and
148    make badnewline test case actually run and actually pass.
149
150  + (Unix version): aven: Only add toolbar margins for gtk1.2
151
152  + (Unix version): configure: Updated check for wx version.
153
[9a959e5]154Changes in 1.0.35:
155
156* aven: Fix printing which was deciding how many pages to spread the plot over
157  by looking at the whole paper size, not the printable area.
158
159* aven: When exporting, omit surface data if it's not being shown at the
160  moment.  Also omit unnecessary MOVE ops from generated files (which saves
161  quite a lot of space when surface data is turned off).
162
163* (Unix Version): Set Aven's icon on non-Windows platforms too.
164
165* extend: Added documentation and test cases for the new extend features.
166
[53e9dd0]167* manual: Fix example of setting decimal separator.
[9a959e5]168
169* printxbm: Fixed test program printxbm to compile.
170
[53e9dd0]171* Include syntax colouring mode for .svx files for the vim editor, written
172  by David Loeffler.
173
[c94999e]174Changes in 1.0.34:
175
[863401f]176* extend: Added changes from John Pybus which allow you to specify a
177  configuration file to control how the centreline is extended - e.g.
178  where to fold and where to break loops.
179
[c94999e]180* (MS Windows version): Fixed detection of codepage 1250 (used for Slovak and
181  Romanian) - this should fix problems with missing accents.
182
[1d702fa]183Changes in 1.0.33:
184
185* aven,printwin: Fixed bug which would sometimes pick one too few pages
186  vertically resulting in the survey escaping off the top of the topmost
187  pages.
[a7267a7]188
[48f25f5]189* aven: Changed the toner-wasting, hard-to-measure-exactly alternately filled
190  scale bar to a simple line with ticks.
[1d702fa]191
192* aven: SVG export fixes: second and subsequent exports had bogus extra "</g>";
193  Fixed to invert all Y coordinates, not just some; Fixed tags for layers.
194
[301bbc1]195* aven: Added EPS export option.
196
[cb0fbf1]197* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed inverted icons.
[1d702fa]198
199* aven: Initial window size and position will not straddle monitors if you have
200  multiple monitors connected to one machine (needs wxWidgets 2.5 to work on
201  Unix).
202
203* (Unix version): aven: Fixed initial sizing problems when building with gtk2.
204
205* Minor documentation updates.
206
[5f7c674]207Changes in 1.0.32:
208
209* aven: Fixed font sizes in "Print Preview" and printouts.
210
211* aven: In the print setup dialog, replaced "Orientation" radio buttons with
212  "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons.
213
214* aven: Fixed info box on printouts of elevations, tilted views, and
215  extend elevations.
216
217* aven: Added "fit on one page" option, and make it the default.
218
219* aven: Reorder "Cancel", "Preview", "Print" buttons and make "Print" the
220  default button.
221
222* aven: Read settings back from the print dialog when the "Print" button is
223  pressed (was only done for "Preview" previously).
224
225* aven: Sorted out the initial size of the "Print Preview" window.
226
227* aven: Fixed the window manager's close button on the "Print Preview" window
228  - previously this was being ignored.
229
230* aven: Sorted out initial survey scaling when loading a survey at startup.
231
232* aven: Fixed the measuring line to work better when the survey tree is
233  manipulated with keys.  Tweaked redrawing of the measuring line to be a
234  smidgen more efficient.  Fixed the blob and ring size which were one
235  pixel too small on Windows.
236
237* aven: Added "System Information:" section to the "About" dialog to hold
238  information useful when reporting bugs.  Currently it contains the wxWindows
239  version, OS version, and colour depth information.
240
241* aven: Changed the "About" dialog's "Close" button to be "OK" for consistency
242  with pretty much every other application.
243
244* aven: Added "File->Export as..." which integrates cad3d's functionality
245  within aven.
246
247* aven: Updated a few icons.
248
249* cad3d: Added SVG export support from John Pybus
250
251* (Unix version): Fixed to allow compilation with GCC 3.4
252
253* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to using innosetup 4 for the installer
254  (we were using innosetup 2).  This results in a much smaller download
255  and the installer now translates itself into the currently set language.
256  The installer will no longer work on Windows NT 3.51, but I seriously
257  doubt anyone is still using that...
258
259* Updates to German translation.
260
[2f0e50b]261Changes in 1.0.31:
262
263* (MS Windows version): Fixed problems with the new printing code by building
264  with a newer version of wxWindows (2.5.2 instead of 2.4.1).
265
[bd17d3f2]266* aven: Fixed grid menu item so that it always correctly reflects whether the
267  grid is enabled or not.
268
[0569373]269* aven: Minor improvements to appearance of a few toolbar icons.
[2f0e50b]270
271* Updates to Catalan, French, Italian, Romanian, Slovak, and Spanish
272  translations.
[acf84e45]273
[2f0e50b]274* cavern: Fixed Romanian message which was appearing in English .err files.
[acf84e45]275
[9746d17]276Changes in 1.0.30:
277
[09d50cc]278* aven: Added printing directly from Aven!
[ce22892]279
[de3de7b]280* aven: Fixed memory leak when showing the "About" dialog.
281
[a822f1b]282* (MacOS X version): Now installable from a disk image package.
283
[09d50cc]284* cavern: Equates are no longer considered when deciding which stations are
285  flagged as surface and underground.
286
[1c0df96]287* Romanian translation mostly completed.
288
[9746d17]289* (Unix version): Debian: Minor packaging tweaks.
290
[76d6c16]291Changes in 1.0.29:
292
293* cad3d: Fixed problem with DXF files which stopped them loading with some
294  drawing packages (introduced in 1.0.27).
295
[ec63aac]296* aven: Changed File->Exit to File->Quit.
297
298* Removed some unused messages from the message files.
299
300* (Unix version): Fixed SRPMs to build on RedHat 9 and Fedora Core 1 (patch
301  from John Pybus).
302
[0818de5]303* Romanian translation started.
304
[1adc3d0]305* (Unix version): Debian: Fixed new lintian warnings about missing quotes in
306  menu files.
[cb38b4f]307
[bac1c46]308Changes in 1.0.28:
309
[c46952f]310* Fixed 3d file reading code to fix incorrect unpacking of compressed station
311  names in a rare case.  Also checked other rare cases work correctly.
312
[2b12f6f]313Changes in 1.0.27:
314
[99ed515]315* cad3d: DXF output now puts surface legs, stations, and labels in separate
316  layers.
317
[13367e9]318* (Unix version): distribute desc-svxedit.txt.
319
[dd379cb]320Changes in 1.0.26:
[ef03ec7]321
[5a0f9cc]322* cavern: Fixed interleaved topofil data style - the length was always being
323  calculated as zero.
324
[d8fcdf9]325* (Unix version): aven: "All Files" now shows files without extensions too.
326
[2977340]327* aven: added Ctrl+Q as shortcut for File->Exit.
328
[5e2710c]329* aven: depth colouring now uses a proper colour gradient.
330
[8262132]331* (MacOS X version): aven: the keyboard and mouse now work!  It turns out that
332  we must apply resources *after* installing.
333
[3f9efe8]334* (MacOS X version): aven: now works when run from the MacOS X Finder.
335
[9584382]336* (MacOS X version): look for message files and other resources relative to the
337  binaries so that the user can install Survex from a disk image in the location
338  of their choice.
339
[fad11a6]340* (MacOS X version): fixed not to try to build aven if wxWindows isn't
341  installed.
342
[a7aab75a]343* cad3d: fixed -e and -r options to not crash (the long versions have always
344  worked).
[c45edc8c]345
[a03f5d1]346* extend: fixed to initialise an internal structure - failing to do so was
347  probably causing crashes on some platforms.
348
[c45edc8c]349* Fixed standard graphics for "Note", "Warning", etc in the PostScript manual.
350
351* Documentation updated.
352
[a7aab75a]353* (Unix version): fixed svxedit man page which previously contained xcaverot
[c45edc8c]354  documentation!
355
[b91bdce]356* test suite: check that cavern doesn't report "nan" or "NaN" for any values.
357
[a7aab75a]358* (Unix version): fixed configure --enable-defaultlang=XX to work.
[c45edc8c]359
[2dfd768]360* (Unix version): fixed configure code to turn on lots of GCC warnings and fixed
361  most of them.
362
[3d43425]363* (MS Windows version): assorted tweaks to allow building with MS Visual C/C++.
364
[b0e298e]365Changes in 1.0.25:
366
367* (MacOS X version): hopefully fixed building of aven.
368
369* (Unix version): updated config.guess and config.sub so should build out of
370  the box on more Unix platforms.
371
[b98055b]372* (Unix version): Debian: added missing Build-Depends on xlibs-dev.
373
374* (Unix version): RPMs: give up supplying binary RPMs due to apparently
375  insurmountable technical problems.
[b0e298e]376 
[9322708]377Changes in 1.0.24:
378
[34afc2d]379* cavern: fixed LEVEL (broken since around 1.0.8) and added test case.
380
[d8fcdf9]381* cavern: corrected handling of declination in Compass DAT files and added test
382  case; also added tests for other aspects of Compass DAT file reading.
[c4456f5]383
[6209cd3]384* printps/printpcl: fixed blank page detection in some obscure cases.
385
[46ceabd]386* Documentation: started manual section on working with Compass data files.
387
[60ca666]388* (Unix version): fixed compilation problems with aven and getopt.h on MacOS X
389  (and probably some other Unix versions).
390
[0b7ec6f]391* (Unix version): Debian package now Build-Depends on gcc-3.2 and g++-3.2.
392
[c0174c1]393Changes in 1.0.23:
394
[bb3a530]395* Documentation: include 3d v3 file format description on MS Windows, MS DOS,
[343ffd6]396  and RISC OS too; include PNG graphics for manual on MS Windows; minor updates
397  to manual.
[bb3a530]398
[24a8011]399* Prefer wxWindows 2.4 if it's available.
400
[7de388f]401* (MacOS X version): detect MacOS X and look for MacOS X build of wxWindows;
402  automatically add resource fork to aven binary.
[24a8011]403
[b011a3e]404* Disabled experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - it isn't currently
405  working and makes the printer drivers unusable on Chinese versions of MS
406  Windows.
407
[609320e]408* (Unix version): tweaked debian packaging.
409
[64a7e11]410* cavern: Handling of "*:" at start of file wasn't fully fixed in 1.0.19.
411
[5d77e43]412Changes in 1.0.22:
413
414* aven: Fixed handling of extended elevations (and other flat surveys) -
415  they are meant to be "locked flat" but this wasn't fully working before.
416
417* Documentation: 3d v3 file format description: fixed error in description of
418  codes 0x01-0x0e; include it in binary packages (not only with the source
419  code).
420
[26085f5]421Changes in 1.0.21:
422
[bd1eb1a]423* cavern: when reading Compass DAT files, we now processes compass and clino
424  backsights, and recognise the "X" flag which indicates a leg should be
[26085f5]425  entirely ignored.  And we now report correct line number with errors in
426  Compass .MAK files.
[8a40902]427
[ae3f2ff]428* cavern: if "*infer plumbs on", don't infer a plumb if the clino is
429  +/- 90 degrees, but the backclino isn't (and vice versa).
430
[b60659c]431* cavern: fixed 3dx output so it actually works with Chasm once more.
432
[ef3c9e2]433* cavern: don't allocate extra space needed for producing 3dx output for
434  Chasm unless we're actually producing that output - saves about 8 bytes
435  per station.
436
[a49b4493]437* cavern: removed slightly too keen sanity check which could misfire in very
438  unusual circumstances.
439
[24a8011]440* (MS Windows version): all .ico files except 3d.ico have been missing since
[41d3795]441  1.0.17 (or maybe 1.0.16) - fixed.  You wouldn't notice this if you installed
442  over an previous version.
443
[8f33d2b6]444Changes in 1.0.20:
445
446* aven: update display when "Metric" or "Degrees" is toggled.
[7b86ec9]447
[9df78d0]448* cavern: fixed handling of compass and clino corrections in Compass survey
449  data - these were interpreted as radians rather than degrees so the
450  correction was about 57 times too large!)
451
452* Improved handling of Compass PLT files - if the survey name is empty, don't
453  insert a survey separator character.
454
[befff52]455* Documentation: fixed incorrect markup which resulted in a bogus footnote.
456
[4b3b917]457Changes in 1.0.19:
458
[a903c03]459* cavern: you can now process Compass format survey data (.DAT and .MAK files) -
[fee123d]460  these can even be linked into a Survex dataset with "*include fulford.dat" or
461  "*include lech.mak" to allow processing of mixed datasets.
462
[4b3b917]463* cavern: major speedup (up to 60%) when reading in survey data containing
464  a lot of stations in the same survey hierarchy level (which is how Compass
465  files are handled).
[1cbf5a1]466
[8cc41db]467* cavern: don't warn about a compass reading on a plumbed leg if the
468  plumb was inferred and the compass reading is zero.
469
[a903c03]470* cavern: reduced memory usage in code which reads a survey station name.
[804e539]471
[b6746ee]472* cavern: reported CPU time would go negative if cavern ran for more than
473  about 36 minutes (highly unlikely but not impossible on a slow machine
474  with a large, highly interconnect survey) - fixed.
475
[0ae1f1a]476* cavern: avoid unnecessary work when --percentage isn't specified.
477
[fee123d]478* cavern: Writing "*:" at the start of a .svx file would crash cavern - fixed
[4b3b917]479  and added test case.  This is an error anyway, but it shouldn't cause a
480  crash.
[22b85ce6]481
[a903c03]482* Don't distribute unused toolbar icons.
483
[e24af91]484* Documentation: minor updates.
485
[ea3ff04]486Changes in 1.0.18:
487
[24a8011]488* (Unix version): Fixed "Process" action on .svx files.
[ea3ff04]489
[24a8011]490* (Unix version): File associations: if svxedit isn't installed, run gnome-edit
[be518f3]491  instead.
[ea3ff04]492
[24a8011]493* (Unix version): In Debian packages, now include file associations and file
[ea3ff04]494  icons in the survex package rather than survex-aven.
495
[24a8011]496* (Unix version): File associations were missing from RPM packages; moved
[ea3ff04]497  aven and svxedit man pages to their respective subpackages; moved aven icons
498  to the aven subpackage.
499
[0ab9f44]500* Documentation: added details of the 3d file format (version 3).
501
[ea3ff04]502* Updated TODO list.
503
[d8f76a8]504Changes in 1.0.17:
505
[24a8011]506* (MS Windows version): Fixed "Open in SvxEdit" to work (and if tcl isn't
[b2aa99b]507  install this action now falls back to using notepad).  SvxEdit now has
508  its own icon.
509
[24a8011]510* (Unix version): Install mime types, icons, and file associations for Gnome.
[d8006b6]511  Note: at present GMC doesn't seem to notice new files being created (e.g.
512  Process on a .svx file creates .3d and .err files) - you have to manually
513  refresh the view.
[a243fc5]514
[b2aa99b]515* Minor update to manual.
[d8f76a8]516
[d4ed5e6]517Changes in 1.0.16:
518
[24a8011]519* (MS Windows version): Really fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
[d4ed5e6]520  programs from finding the message files.
521
[24a8011]522* (MS Windows version): Remove any existing "Open" file association for .svx
[8f7eee6]523  files.
524
[0e3ccf6]525Changes in 1.0.15:
526
[24a8011]527* (MS Windows version): Fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
[0e3ccf6]528  programs from finding the message files.
529
[24a8011]530* (MS Windows version): "Open in Notepad" is now the double-click action
[76abbdc]531  for .svx files once again, "Open in SvxEdit" is an action in the menu
532  obtained with the right mouse button.
533
[0810c70]534Changes in 1.0.14:
535
[750a2dd]536* svxedit: This is a Survex data entry editor from the therion team.  It needs
537  tcl and wish installed - for MS Windows an installer is available for free
538  from Activeware.
539
[9f9c05e]540* Improved handling of Compass PLT files and CMAP xyz files - no longer change
541  dots to spaces in survey and station names - instead use a space as the
542  separator between survey name and station name.
543
[b451f1c]544* aven: when picking non-overlapping labels, show a slight preference to shorter
545  labels with the aim of displaying more labels.
546
[f3ddc29]547* aven: fixed hard to notice problem which could cause the cave to appear
548  tilted sideways after a lot of manipulation.
549
[949c90b]550* cavern: Modest speed improvement (0.5% for sample dataset).
551
[f3ddc29]552* cavern: fixed a rarely sighted bug which caused erroneous error about some
[4b8cab4]553  stations not being attached to a fixed point.
[0aa72ab]554
[defb715]555* cavern: fixed clino readings and DIRECTION to work in interleaved data.
[fbafe28]556
[31f7c7d]557* cavern: improved error reporting when an invalid value is given for a
558  DIRECTION reading.
559
[cc6857f]560* cavern: fixed "singular matrix" error when very low SDs were specified.
561
[c5850207]562* print*: if the --raw is used, the survey can now use the space this would
563  have taken up.
564
565* Reading of ASCII 3d files now copes with MSDOS/MS Windows line endings
566  once again.  Added regression test for this.
567
[24a8011]568* (MS Windows version): Programs run from the command line now find message
[a6847f71]569  files without SURVEXHOME needing to be set.
[949c90b]570
[57063af]571* Updated documentation.
572
[88db994]573Changes in 1.0.13:
574
[97d3ab9]575* aven: Fixed bug which caused the occasional spurious leg to be shown
576  connecting arbitrary stations.
[cc6857f]577
[b39c5f6]578* extend: try to extend along a survey, and make breaks where other surveys
579  join.
580
[5bcd880]581* cavern: Number reading code reworked to allow repeat readings to be
582  supported, but the actual repeat reading code is currently disabled,
583  and everything should work exactly as before.
584
[fe1f251]585* Experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - only a few messages are
586  currently translated.
587
[50b0c7f]588Changes in 1.0.12:
589
[950e261]590* diffpos: fixed to work on 64bit architectures.
591
[dd5a89c]592* sorterr: fixed to work with more than 1024 traverses.
593
[abd126e]594* Fixed handling of iso-8859-2 character set and MS Windows code page 1250
595  (both cover Eastern European languages).
[cc6857f]596
[24a8011]597* (MS Windows version): install file associations for Compass .plt and .plf
[f3d5b20]598  files and for CMAP .xyz files.  Also install the file icon for .plt and
599  .plf files in case Compass isn't installed (thanks to Larry Fish for
600  permission to include the icon).
601
602* (Unix version): running an installed program with an explicit path works
603  again.
604
605* (Unix version): xcaverot: automatically switch on PDA mode if the screen is
[15d7cc1]606  less than 640 pixels wide or less than 480 pixels high.
[f3d5b20]607
608* (Unix version): minor portability improvements.
609
[50b0c7f]610* Updates to Portuguese translation - all translations are now up-to-date.
611
[b8c4913]612Changes in 1.0.11:
613
[496a208]614* aven: improvements in 1.0.10 to the file type selector only work properly
615  on MS Windows, and with wxGtk >= 2.3 on Unix (the latest stable release is
616  2.2.9 where this doesn't work).  Fixed to work as well as possible on 2.2.9,
617  and as intended on 2.3.
618
[52634cc]619* aven: fixed so that loading PLT files works regardless of the current locale
620  (previously it would fail for locales where the decimal character wasn't
621  '.').
622
[7757a4ed]623* aven: key actions during autorotation no longer temporarily pause
624  autorotation.
625
[cc9150c]626* aven: switching to plan or elevation while rotating is now smooth.
627
628* aven: removed undocumented and confusing "free rotation mode".
629
630* (MS Windows version): aven: focus now set correctly after loading a file by
631  double-clicking or from the command line.
632
[a3326288]633* cad3d: write dummy passage dimensions to .plt files to avoid Compass bug.
634
[ca4058d]635* printwin/printps: now support coloured printouts.
636
[a3326288]637* print*: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
638
639* extend: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
[388ad50]640
[d275723]641* Updates to Italian translation.
642
[0f125da]643* Minor documentation updates.
644
[5215b99]645Changes in 1.0.10:
646
[6097cd2]647* (MS Windows version): aven: fixed assert failure upon turning on station
648  names.
649
[c01c332]650* aven: only add a file to the list of recently used files if it was opened
651  successfully.
652
[d16db18]653* aven: recognise ".plf" as a Compass PLT file too; and on Unix list "*.PLT",
654  "*.PLF", "*.XYZ", and "*.3D" as well as the lowercase versions to help people
655  who transfer files from MSDOS/MS Windows.
656
[cfcfd28]657* cavern: fixed bogus warning triggered by "*begin abc.def" (I'm not sure
658  that this should be valid, but the warning given wasn't appropriate).
659
[a9ab65a]660* Fixed scaling problem when reading PLT file (feet->metres conversion
661  factor was being applied backwards!)
662
[47e4a2e]663* Fixed potential problem when reading or writing a 3d file which couldn't
664  be opened.
665
[5215b99]666* Translate dots to spaces in survey names in Compass PLT files.
667
[ef59f5e]668* Better handling of PLT files which have a D command before any M command.
669
[c01c332]670* Updates to German and Italian translations.
[3bf737e]671
[f4276af]672Changes in 1.0.9:
673
[e3dfce4]674* aven: Fixed jerky start when auto-rotation begins.
675
676* cavern: Fixed Direction reading - bug previously made it unusable.
[f4276af]677
[6317ee2]678* (MS Windows version): cad3d: fixed broken PLT output (had a double CR at the
679  end of each line).
680
[161e268]681* (Unix version): RPMs now have the docs in /usr/share/doc and the man pages
682  in /usr/share/man to conform with the FHS (and where RedHat packages put
683  them).
684
[06e94a8]685* Updates to French, Spanish, Catalan, and Slovak translations.
[b10788f]686
[732b9b0]687Changes in 1.0.8:
688
[b6de07d]689* Slovak translation added; updated German, Catalan, and Spanish translations.
690
[fa42426]691* aven: reduced memory usage by around 25% and increased speed and
692  responsiveness.
[cd6ea75]693
[a8e9fde]694* aven: rate of rotation and switching between plan and elevation now adjusted
695  to the speed of redraw, so aven behaves in a similar way independent of the
696  speed of the computer or size of the survey.
697
[75993b9]698* aven: provide list of most recently loaded files (preserved between runs of
699  the program).
[6804731]700
701* aven: settings for "Metric" and "Degrees" are preserved between runs.
[732b9b0]702
[8ac4406]703* aven: moved some menu items from "View" to "Controls" as they probably
704  belong there and the "View" menu was getting out of hand.
705
[c8c116c]706* aven: cursor keys now translate cave in the same way the mouse does (i.e. now
707  work as in caverot and xcaverot).
708
[6df24ee]709* aven: eliminated the "twinkling label" effect when dragging the cave with the
710  right mouse button.
711
[fa42426]712* aven: the measuring line moves much more smoothly now: the mouse cursor now
713  snaps to the nearest station, rather than just a near station; and when the
714  line moves, we now only redraw the affected area of the window.
[2173dbd]715
[b6de07d]716* aven: resolved annoying limit on zooming in on large surveys.  This was a
717  crude way of preventing random lines due to overflow in the windowing system.
718  Aven now clips lines itself at high zoom levels, and limits zoom in to
719  approximately 1mm/pixel.
720
721* aven: zoom in/out with keyboard wasn't subject to any limits - now restricted
722  to sane values as with zoom in/out with the mouse.
723
[5fa68cc5]724* print*: added --raw switch to turn of info box, scale bar, and page footer.
725  This can be useful if you want to import the output into another application.
726 
[5b7c1b7]727* print*: improved output when --no-border is used.
[3fb572e]728
[2001db9]729* printpcl/printdm: Added new .ini setting "font_bitmap" which allows the user
730  to choose between alternative fonts.  Current we supply "default" and "bold".
731
[fa42426]732* printps/printhpgl: Fixed --skip-blanks which would incorrectly skip non-blank
733  pages on rare occasions.
734
[11e919a]735* cavern: added support for BackCompass and BackClino.
[5b7c1b7]736
[fa42426]737* cavern: implemented "*units clino percent".
[c9eb197]738
[6770637]739* cavern: added "*infer exports on".  Any stations seen while this is on will
[c00c74a9]740  have the necessary *export-s inferred when accessed from outside their
741  own survey.  This allows linking a survey which uses *export to one which
742  doesn't.  It's also useful for a maze cave where so many stations can
743  be linked to that listing them explicitly isn't desirable.
744
[fa42426]745* cavern: N-S, E-W, and vertical ranges now only count stations which are in
746  underground surveys.
747
[0b71cfc]748* cavern: *infer plumbs wasn't inferring -90 to be DOWN - fixed.
749
[c00c74a9]750* cavern: *infer was giving an internal error if the argument was unknown -
751  now it gives the correct error message.
752
[fa42426]753* cavern: fixed handling of omitted clino readings when OMIT is *set to be
754  different from MINUS and PLUS (new test omitclino).
755
[b14f44f]756* cavern: fixed a bogus warning for any station which was only used in a line
757  of data which was rejected because of an error.
758
[fa42426]759* cavern: added error if the *units factor is zero (e.g. "*units tape 0 feet").
760
[b14f44f]761* cavern: removed the ill-thought-out and never implemented LENGTHOUTPUT
762  and ANGLEOUTPUT quantities.
763
[770157e]764* cavern: resolved mismatch between bcra5.svx and the default SDs, and the
765  odd values in bcra3.svx.  We are now interpreting the BCRA limits as 2
766  standard deviations (previously bcra5.svx used 3 sds, bcra3 used 3.33 sds for
767  tape and position, and .75 sds for compass and clino, and cavern used 1 sd
768  by default).
769
[a20b208]770* ChangeLog now only includes entries since the previous release (the full file
[9cc3854]771  is 220K or so, and of interest to very few people).  MSDOS and MS Windows
[b14f44f]772  versions now comfortably fit on a 1.44M floppy once again.
[9cc3854]773
[b6de07d]774* Test suite now checks that all programs will run successfully with "--help"
775  and with "--version".  This should avoid problems such as that which broke
776  the printer drivers in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
[a20b208]777
[fa42426]778* (Unix version): uninstalled binaries now use the path they are run with to
779  find support files, which means SURVEXHOME is no longer required, and has
780  been removed.
781
[7c41b21]782Changes in 1.0.7:
783
784* print*: halted with a failed assertion in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
785
[cd8d79a]786Changes in 1.0.6:
787
788* aven: "Reverse Controls" now works as in xcaverot and caverot.
789
790* aven: free rotation mode (engage by pressing control while left dragging,
791  exit with Delete) improved.
792
[30987bd]793* aven: using File->Open when a file was already loaded caused a crash
794  if a station was "grey highlighted" in the survey tree - fixed.
795
[e98af57]796* aven: added hourglass for "find" operation.
797
[0edb0d0]798* aven: reenabled loading of files by drag-and-drop (accidentally disabled
799  in 1.0.4 and 1.0.5).
800
[303a525]801* aven: improved handling of flat surveys (e.g. output of extend, surveys
802  with no clino information).
803
[12d0d1b]804* aven: surveys with stations but no legs no longer cause the labels and
805  crosses buttons to behave oddly.
806
[2c30188]807* aven: removed quite a bit of unused and superfluous code.
808
[3d5fb53]809* Spell-checked documentation.
810
[c637fad]811Changes in 1.0.5:
812
813* Fixed bug in img_open_survey() which could cause a crash if you tried to
[88c780d]814  open an unrecognised file (i.e. not .3d, .pos, .plt, or .xyz format).
815
816* North and East were the wrong way round when reading in .plt files.
[c637fad]817
[5173649]818* cad3d: Improved .plt file output a little - there's probably enough file
819  structure for Compass to read them now.
820
[f9dc4a0]821* Documentation updates.
822
[ea1c342]823Changes in 1.0.4:
824
[64511c0]825* extend: previously only kept one name for an equated group of stations in the
826  extended .3d file; now keeps all the names.
827
[b387524]828* cad3d: if an output filename is given, use its extension to pick the default
829  output format.
830
[ba2c5b1]831* aven: movement with keyboard is now accelerated by Shift as in caverot.
832
[f3ed07f]833* print*: --no-borders fixed to work as documented; --no-cutlines added to
834  turn off the dashed lines where pages join on multi-page printouts.
[80f17e0]835
[189f179]836* aven: tracked down two uninitialised variables which seems to fix the
837  failure to load a survey on startup which some people have been experiencing
838  on Microsoft Windows.
839
840* aven: code cleaned up - should improve performance a little.
[9f3e5df]841
842* img routines: img_rewind() now returns a value indicating success/failure.
843
[f1c7c9c7]844* Improvements to .plt file reading, notably that distances in the file are
845  now interpreted as being in feet rather than metres.  Also .plt files should
846  now be recognised even with a different extension, and we cope with an odd
847  special case better.
848
849* Added support for reading CMAP XYZ files.  There are two variants of these
850  - the "shot" format is fully implemented, the "station" format currently
851  just reads the station names and positions - the legs are ignored (sadly
852  the sample files I have do not match the format specification).
[4ebc557]853
[80f17e0]854* (MacOS X version): aven: aven now builds on MacOS X - we just need to sort
[64511c0]855  out packaging now...
[ea1c342]856
[be48ac6]857* (MSDOS version): upgraded graphics library used to Allegro 4.0.1.
858
[fe16ba3]859* Documentation updates.
[a7e3295]860
[febe041]861Changes in 1.0.3:
862
[7a89dc2]863* aven: you can now select distances to be displayed in feet (or miles when
864  you zoom right out) instead of metres, and angles to be in grads instead
865  of degrees.
866
867* aven: show altitude of mouse pointer when in elevation view.
868
[febe041]869* cad3d: fixed bug which caused --plt to crash on some platforms.
870
[3857e321]871* print*: added "Printing to `XXX'..." message to say where output is being
872  written.
873
[a8fa00a]874* Updated French translation; minor updates to other translations (mostly
875  sorting out clashing menu shortcuts in aven).
[e3a14ae]876
[43db339]877* (Unix version): assorted portability tweaks.
878
[745433f]879Changes in 1.0.2:
880
[4783405]881* printdm/printpcl/printwin: take notice of font_size_labels setting in
882  print.ini etc.
883
[107b8bd]884* cavern: Topofil can now be used with DIVING and CYLPOLAR styles; TOPOFIL
885  style is now synonymous with NORMAL.
886
887* cavern: *INFER EQUATES and *DATA TOPOFIL now work together correctly.
888
[c2211a5]889* cavern: *FIX with 3 standard deviations but no covariances now works.
890
[f73bb48]891* (MacOS X version): command line programs now build.  We're working on Aven.
[745433f]892
[7fc1465]893* Updates to the Catalan and Spanish translations.
894
[4783405]895* xcaverot: documented environmental variables XCAVEROT_INDICATOR_RADIUS and
896  XCAVEROT_FONTNAME.
897
[e1b99fc]898* cad3d: added --plt option to produce crude approximation to Compass .plt
899  files - should be good enough for reading into Carto.
900
[ad4eaf3f]901* img library enhanced to allow Compass .plt files to be read as if they were
902  .3d files.
903
[3217572]904Changes in 1.0.1:
905
[7fc1465]906* (MS Windows version): printwin: fixed sizes of cross and page alignment
[de5f18d]907  ticks.
[7be0ba8]908
[5d38036]909* Updates to the Portuguese and Italian translations.
910
[c51c50a]911Changes in 1.0.0:
[4b4bd47]912
[4d3dfdf]913* Fixed --survey option supported by many programs which was broken in 0.99.
914
[c51c50a]915* aven: altered colours of "fixed points" and "entrances" buttons to match
916  the coloured blobs used to indicate them.
917
[de5f18d]918* (MS Windows version): aven: changed current point highlighting in the
[35001ee]919  survey tree to use a light grey background rather than bold (bold causes
920  the text to "wriggle" as the highlight runs up or down).
921
[1cc6cc5]922* (MS Windows version): file icons now have transparent backgrounds.
923
[c51c50a]924* survex: removed conversion wrapper - you should use "cavern file.svx"
925  instead of "survex file.svx".
926
[fe282c2]927* (Unix version): GCC 2.95 sometimes fails with an internal error when trying
928  to compile gfxcore.cc - if it does, the Makefile will now try recompiling
929  with a lower optimisation level.
930
[8f2c870]931* (Unix version): when doing an "in directory" build from source, the HTML
932  manual is now installed in its own subdirectory as when doing a non
933  "in directory" build.
934
[c51c50a]935* German translation now completely up-to-date.
Note: See TracBrowser for help on using the repository browser.
