RevLine 
[ad727d8]1Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
[46d12e9]2
[63e8642]3* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
4  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
5  Clipstone.
[46d12e9]6
[ad727d8]7* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
8
9* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
10
11  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
12    overlap the scale bar ticks.
13
14  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
15    clipping the border in print preview.
16
17  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
18
[63e8642]19* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
20  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
[46d12e9]21
[63e8642]22* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
23  available.
[46d12e9]24
[ad727d8]25* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
26
27* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
28
29* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
30  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
31
[63e8642]32* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
33  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
[46d12e9]34
[63e8642]35* Various translation updates.
[46d12e9]36
[aac3336]37Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
[fb941bfd]38
39* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
40  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
41
[aac3336]42* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
43  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
44  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
45  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
46
[ad3017d]47* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
48  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
49
[77bdacf]50* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
51  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
[ad3017d]52
53* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
54  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
55
56* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
57  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
58
59* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
60  box".
61
62* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
63
64* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
65  indicators.
66
67* aven: All length units are now translatable.
68
[fb941bfd]69* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
70  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
71  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
72
[ad3017d]73* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
74  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
75  measurably slower.
76
77* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
78  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
79
[77bdacf]80* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
81  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
82
[ad3017d]83* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
84  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
85  from Therion and elsewhere.
86
87* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
88  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
89  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
[fb941bfd]90
91* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
92  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
93
94* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
95  A. Riggs for his work on this.
96
97* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
98  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
99
100* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
101
[ad3017d]102* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
103  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
104  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
105  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
106  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
107  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
108
109* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
110
[0ecf3b1]111Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
112
113* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
114  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
115  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
116  Clipstone.
117
[53966d3]118* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
119  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
120
[6f0d0d8]121* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
122  exported SVG files.
123
124* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
125
126* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
127  file.
128
129* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
130  GPX files.
131
132* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
133
[0ecf3b1]134* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
135  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
136
137* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
138  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
139  on startup.
140
141* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
142
143* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
144  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
145  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
146  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
147  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
148  other extensions.
149
150* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
151  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
152  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
153  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
154  timezone wrong.
155
156* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
157
[6f0d0d8]158* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
159  'SURVEY DATE:'.
[0ecf3b1]160
[6f0d0d8]161* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
[0ecf3b1]162
[6f0d0d8]163* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
[0ecf3b1]164
[53966d3]165* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
166  enabled.
167
[6b6fb4d]168Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
169
170* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
171
172* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
173
174* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
175
176* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
177  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
178  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
179
180* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
181  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
182  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
183
184* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
185  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
186
187* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
188
189* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
190
191* Fix some compiler warnings.
192
[e1f27c4]193Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
[da65891]194
195* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
196  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
197  Holder.
198
[e1f27c4]199* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
[034141d]200  statistics when the value gets large.
201
[a4adf09]202* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
203  equations.
204
[e1f27c4]205* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
206  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
207  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
208  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
209  better when the "View" box is hidden.
210
[0056ee1]211* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
212  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
213
[e1f27c4]214* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
215  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
216  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
217  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
218  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
219  way is coming soon.
220
221* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
222  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
223
224* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
225  time ago, so update references.
226
227* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
228  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
229
230* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
231  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
232
233* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
234  Sebastian Ramacher.
235
236* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
237
238* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
239
240* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
241
242* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
243
244* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
245
246* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
247  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
248  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
249
250* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
251
252* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
[9fc1cac]253
[88b54df6]254* img library:
255
[e1f27c4]256  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
257    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
258    reading).
259
260  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
261    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
262
263  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
264    support these as an extension.
[88b54df6]265
[f807d8bf]266  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
267
[e1f27c4]268* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
269  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
270  itself has any translations for.
271
272* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
273
274* Minor translation updates.
275
276* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
277
[e34bebc]278Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
[65d9b6b]279
[e34bebc]280* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
281  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
282  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
283  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
284  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
285  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
286  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
287  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]288
[e34bebc]289* New version 8 of the 3d format:
[07beaa4]290
[e34bebc]291  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[07beaa4]292
[e34bebc]293  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
294    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
[da9d788]295
[e34bebc]296  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
297    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
[da9d788]298
[e34bebc]299  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
[da9d788]300
[e34bebc]301  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
302    human-readable string.
[da9d788]303
[e34bebc]304  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
305    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
[da9d788]306
[e34bebc]307* img library:
[da9d788]308
[e34bebc]309  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[da9d788]310
[e34bebc]311  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
312    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
[da9d788]313
[e34bebc]314  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
315    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
316    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
317    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
318    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
319    explicitly in the file.
[da9d788]320
[e34bebc]321  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
[da9d788]322
[e34bebc]323* aven:
[da9d788]324
[e34bebc]325  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
326    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
327    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
328    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
329    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
330    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
[da9d788]331
[e34bebc]332  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
333    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
334    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
335    queued up.
[da9d788]336
[e34bebc]337  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
338    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
339
340  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
341    them like other legs.
342
343  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
344    station names to positions.
345
346  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
347    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
348    wrongly.
349
350  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
351
352  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
353    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
354    that's used by the desktop).
355
356  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
[07beaa4]357
[e34bebc]358  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
359    error from cavern.
[07beaa4]360
[e34bebc]361  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
[da9d788]362
[e34bebc]363  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
364    in the dialog in sync.
[da9d788]365
[e34bebc]366* cavern:
[3dfffa2]367
[e34bebc]368  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
369    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
370    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
[3dfffa2]371
[e34bebc]372  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
373    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]374
[e34bebc]375  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
376    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
377    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
378    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
379    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
380    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
381    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
382    degrees.
[da9d788]383
[e34bebc]384  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
385    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
386    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
[da9d788]387
[e34bebc]388  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
[da9d788]389
[e34bebc]390  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
391    warnings.
[07beaa4]392
[e34bebc]393  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
394    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
[07beaa4]395
[e34bebc]396  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
397    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
[da9d788]398
[e34bebc]399  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
400    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
401    relevant.
[da9d788]402
[e34bebc]403  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
404    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
405    the same line.
[da9d788]406
[e34bebc]407  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
408    "End of line not blank" error.
[7f6250a]409
[e34bebc]410  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
411    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
[3dfffa2]412
[e34bebc]413  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
414    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
[07beaa4]415
[e34bebc]416  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
417    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
418    include that character in the token reported.
[3dfffa2]419
[e34bebc]420  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
421    first item.
[07beaa4]422
[e34bebc]423* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
[07beaa4]424
[e34bebc]425* dump3d:
[07beaa4]426
[e34bebc]427  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
428    info from 3d files in scripts.
[07beaa4]429
[e34bebc]430  + Add --show-dates option.
[07beaa4]431
[e34bebc]432  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
[07beaa4]433
[e34bebc]434  + Report the data style of legs.
[da9d788]435
[e34bebc]436  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
437
438  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
[3dfffa2]439
440* Test suite:
441
442  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
443    expected output so it passes reliably.
444
[e34bebc]445  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
446    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
447
[07beaa4]448  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
449    for more.
450
[e34bebc]451* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
452  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
453  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
[3dfffa2]454
455* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
456  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
457
458* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
459  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
460
[e34bebc]461* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
462  with SURVEX_LANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
463  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
464  settings.
465
466* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
467  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
468  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
469  set correctly.
470
471* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
472  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
473  them to translate.
474
[07beaa4]475* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
476  close to complete.
[3dfffa2]477
478* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
479
[07beaa4]480* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
481
[e34bebc]482* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
483
[c575465]484Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
[b081031]485
486* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
487
488* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
489  package (ticket#35).
490
491* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
492  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
493  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
494
495* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
496  Kahler.
497
498* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
[c575465]499  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
500  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
501  libproj and build survex with:
502
503      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
504      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
[b081031]505
506* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
507
508* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
509
510* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
511  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
512  file".
513
[685116f]514Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
515
516* aven:
517
518  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
519
520  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
521    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
522
523  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
524
525  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
526
527  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
528    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
529
530* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
531  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
532  error early on).
533
534* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
535  the man page source as well as in the filename.
536
[f15ca67f]537Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
538
539* aven:
540
541  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
542    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
543    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
544    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
545
546  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
547    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
548
549  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
550
551  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
552
553  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
554
555* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
556
[5b9942e]557Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
558
559* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
560
561* (Mac OS X version):
562
563  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
564
565  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
566
567  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
568    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
569
570  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
571
572* aven:
573
574  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
575
576  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
577
578    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
579      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
580      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
581      character.
582
583    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
584      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
585      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
586      and two in a few cases.
587
588    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
589      8 pixels.
590
591  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
592    draw crosses.
593
[3ea0178]594  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
595    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
596    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
597    is the start or end of a tube.
598
[5b9942e]599  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
600    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
601
602  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
603    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
604    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
605
[3ea0178]606* extend:
607
608  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
[5b9942e]609
[3ea0178]610  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
611    which means "no info").
612
613* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
614  was no longer used - it certainly is!
615
616* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
617  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
618  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
619  current character set.
[5b9942e]620
[3ea0178]621* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
[5b9942e]622
623* Test suite:
624
625  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
626
627  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
628
[94960ad]629Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
630
631* aven:
632
633  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
634    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
635    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
636    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
637    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
638    usable format.
639
640  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
641    files.  (ticket#26)
642
643  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
644    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
645
[53f8a93]646  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
647    using lines.
648
[94960ad]649  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
650    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
651
652  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
653    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
654    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
655    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
656
657  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
658    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
659    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
660
661  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
662    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
663    in 1.2.1.
664
[9704252]665Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
[e3c58c3]666
667* Translation updates for US English.
668
669* aven:
670
671  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
672    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
673
674  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
675
676  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
677    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
678    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
679    visually similar to the survey legs.
680
681  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
682    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
683
[9704252]684  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
685    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
686    does still provide some useful information).
687
688  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
689    a depth band boundary.
[e3c58c3]690
691  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
[9704252]692    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
693    full-screen mode).
[e3c58c3]694
695  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
696    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
697    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
698    are a little better, though still not perfect.
699
700  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
701    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
702
703  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
704    that station.
705
706  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
707    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
708
709  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
710    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
711    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
[9704252]712    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
713    a case as it is a bug).
[e3c58c3]714
[9704252]715  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
716    invalidated on window width or height changes.
[e3c58c3]717
718  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
719    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
720    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
721    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
722
[9704252]723  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
724    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
725    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
726    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
727    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
728    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
729    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
[e3c58c3]730
731  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
732    similarly for other compass points.
733
734  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
735    info in the "About" dialog.
736
737  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
738    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
739
740  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
741    as well as still working with older versions.
742
743  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
744    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
745
746  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
747    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
748    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
749    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
750    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
751
752  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
753    nicer and make better use of the available space.
754
755  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
756    dialog.
757
758  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
759    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
760
761  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
762    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
763
[9704252]764  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
765
[e3c58c3]766  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
767
768  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
769    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
770    being pressed and toggle full screen.
771
772* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
773  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
774
775* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
776
777* More messages are now available to be translated.
778
779* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
780  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
781
782* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
783
784* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
785  sudo for installing on Unix.
786
787* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
788  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
789
790* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
791  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
792
793* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
794
[120c1c6]795Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
[b4ac7007]796
797* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
798  English.
799
[9cfcb3f]800* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
801  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
802  case.
803
804* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
805  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
806  these into Survex's .msg format.
807
[b4ac7007]808* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
809  an actual command).
810
[9cfcb3f]811* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
812  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
813  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
814  recurrence of that).
815
[b4ac7007]816* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
817  than /usr/doc/survex.
818
819* aven:
820
[120c1c6]821  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
822
[9cfcb3f]823  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
824    nicer at larger sizes.
825
[b4ac7007]826  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
827    with GLX >= 1.3.
828
829  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
830
831  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
[4095cc0]832    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
833    required libraries set up for building releases.
[b4ac7007]834
835  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
836
837  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
838
839  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
840    rendered with icons on some platforms.
841
[9cfcb3f]842  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
843    ISO8859-1).
844
845  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
846    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
847
848  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
849    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
850
[b4ac7007]851* cavern:
852
853  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
854    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
855    fatal error!
856
[9cfcb3f]857  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
858    format to output.  (ticket#21)
859
860* img library:
861
862  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
863    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
864
[b4ac7007]865* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
[120c1c6]866  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
[b4ac7007]867
[8f9b0b6d]868Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]869
870* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
871  Portuguese, and US English.
872
873* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]874  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]875
876* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
877  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
878
879* img.c:
880
881  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
882
883  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
884
885* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
886
[8f9b0b6d]887* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
888  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
889  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
890  translated.
891
[f5e3521]892Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]893
894* aven:
895
896  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
897    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
898
899  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
900    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
901    addresses ticket#12.
902
903  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
904    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
905    consistent shape.
906
907  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
908    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
909    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
910    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
911
912  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
913    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
914
915  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
916
917  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
918    more places.
919
920  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]921    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
922
923* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
924
925* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
926  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
927
928* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]929
930* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
931  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
932  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
933  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
934  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
935  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
936
937* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
938  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
939  redirecting to it.
940
941* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
942  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
943  I/O).
944
945* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
946  headers.
947
948* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
949
950* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
951  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
952
953* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
954
[f9473ab]955Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
956
957* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
958
959* aven:
960
961  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
962    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
963    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
964    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
965
966  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
967
968  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
969    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
970    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
971    a number.
972
973  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
974    log window.
975
976  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
977    various cases.
978
979  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
980    (ticket#9)
981
982  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
983    namespace with its own "Point" class.
984
985  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
986    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
987
988  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
989
990  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
991    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
992
993* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
994  give them before.
995
996* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
997  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
998  point looking for them now.
999
1000* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
1001  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
1002  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
1003  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
1004
1005* manual:
1006
1007  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
1008
1009  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
1010    (change taken from 1.0).
1011
1012* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
1013
[0bd49eb]1014Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]1015
1016* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
1017
[739b92c]1018* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]1019
1020* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]1021
1022* aven:
1023
[90d0d71]1024  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
1025
1026  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
1027    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
1028    seem to be Unicode now).
1029
1030  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
1031    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
1032
[e4bfd2f]1033  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
1034    text on the survey pane:
1035
1036    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
1037
1038    - Character spacing is improved.
1039
1040    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]1041
1042  + "About" dialog:
1043
1044    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
1045      bug reporting.
1046
1047    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
1048      modern gfx card.
1049
1050    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
1051
1052  + Processing .svx files:
1053
1054    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]1055
[739b92c]1056    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
1057      than opening a separate frame for it.
1058
[90d0d71]1059    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
1060
1061    - Fix small memory leak.
1062
1063  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
1064    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
1065    such a name.
1066
1067  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
1068
[e4bfd2f]1069  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
1070    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
1071    invocations.
1072
[90d0d71]1073  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
1074
1075  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
1076
[739b92c]1077  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
1078
[90d0d71]1079* Documentation:
1080
[e4bfd2f]1081  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
1082
1083  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
1084    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
1085    together isn't very useful.
1086
[90d0d71]1087  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
1088
1089  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
1090    the FSF website.
1091
1092  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
1093    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
1094    the source code.
1095
1096* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
1097  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]1098
[e4bfd2f]1099* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
1100  package from the source tarball.
1101
[739b92c]1102* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
1103  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
1104
[2e12f8c]1105Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]1106
1107* aven:
1108
[3db0798]1109  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
1110
[5940815]1111  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
1112
[6b2113d]1113  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
1114    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
1115    names/crosses).
1116
[920b066]1117Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
1118
1119* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
1120
[99d8798]1121* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
1122
[920b066]1123* aven:
[78c67a6]1124
[920b066]1125  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]1126
[920b066]1127  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]1128
[920b066]1129  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
1130    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]1131
[920b066]1132  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
1133    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]1134
[920b066]1135  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]1136
[920b066]1137  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
1138    depth colouring.
[99d8798]1139
[920b066]1140  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]1141
[920b066]1142  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]1143
[920b066]1144  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]1145
[920b066]1146  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]1147
[920b066]1148  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]1149
[920b066]1150  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]1151
[920b066]1152  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]1153
[920b066]1154  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]1155
[920b066]1156  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
1157    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]1158
[920b066]1159  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]1160
[920b066]1161  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
1162    default.
[99d8798]1163
[920b066]1164* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
1165  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]1166
[920b066]1167* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
1168  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]1169
[920b066]1170* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]1171
[920b066]1172* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]1173
[920b066]1174Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]1175
1176* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
1177  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
1178  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
1179  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
1180  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
1181
1182* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
1183  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
1184  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]1185
[ac3f376]1186* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
1187  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
1188  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
1189
1190* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
1191  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
1192  allowed).
1193
1194* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
1195
1196* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1197
1198* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1199
[920b066]1200Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]1201
1202* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
1203  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
1204
1205* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
1206  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
1207  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
1208
1209* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
1210  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
1211  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
1212  the new "*data passage" style.
1213
1214* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
1215  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
1216
1217* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
1218  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
1219  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
1220  some cases.
1221
1222* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
1223  with no survey loaded.
1224
1225* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
1226
1227* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
1228  loaded a survey.
1229
1230* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
1231
1232* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
1233
1234* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
1235  doesn't exist.
1236
1237* Updated French and Italian translations.
1238
1239* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]1240  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
1241
[6a2594be]1242* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
1243  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
1244  update their copy).
1245
1246* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
1247  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
1248  trying to compile).
1249
[920b066]1250Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]1251
[c988ae4]1252* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
1253  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
1254
[9577fcc]1255* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
1256  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
1257  has been disabled.
1258
[ecf2d23]1259* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
1260  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
1261  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
1262  time.
1263
[d1628e8e]1264* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
1265  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
1266  highlighted stations.
1267
[e67ed1b]1268* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
1269
[3ddd351]1270* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
1271  the tilt from plan to elevation.
1272
[c988ae4]1273* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
1274  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
1275
1276* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
1277  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
1278  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
1279
1280* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
1281  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
1282
1283* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
1284
[84f1ed1]1285* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
1286
[a884696]1287* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
1288
[9fe7af4f]1289* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
1290  run by an unprivileged user.
1291
1292* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
1293  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
1294  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
1295
1296* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
1297  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
1298
[cd39f67]1299* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
1300
[afffec4]1301* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]1302  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]1303
[38a192d]1304* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
1305  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
1306
[5892e08]1307* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
1308  if it isn't.
1309
[879e9c3]1310* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
1311  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
1312
[c8f929b]1313* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
1314  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
1315
1316* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
1317  reset to default view as well).
1318
1319* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
1320  empty.
1321
1322* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
1323  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
1324
[9ad92cc]1325* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]1326  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
1327  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]1328
1329* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
1330  and non-zero width lines.
1331
1332* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
1333  was turned on.
1334
1335* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
1336  not always being fully written.
1337
[920b066]1338Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]1339
1340* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
1341  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
1342  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
1343  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]1344
[8add4c9]1345* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
1346  with MS Windows).
1347
[9f524ee]1348* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
1349  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
1350  several surveys in the same directory).
1351
[185d793]1352* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]1353  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]1354
[3515947]1355* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
1356
[1235f9b]1357* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
1358  moved off a station.
1359
[4299674]1360* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]1361  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]1362
[60dbe70]1363* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
1364
[125c9ea]1365* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
1366  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
1367
[ec58e3d3]1368* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
1369  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
1370  dialogs.
1371
[8add4c9]1372* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
1373  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
1374
[6662d02]1375* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
1376  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]1377  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]1378
[b65c13f]1379* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
1380  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
1381  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
1382
[17cce5f]1383* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
1384  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
1385
[affaeee]1386* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
1387
[618b01f]1388* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
1389
[920b066]1390Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]1391
1392* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
1393  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
1394
[b88b171]1395* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
1396  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
1397  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
1398  3d file.
1399
[7e01c87]1400* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
1401
1402* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
1403
1404* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
1405  Instead turn off depth colouring.
1406
[8ea82aa]1407* aven: Export as HPGL added.
1408
[887c26e]1409* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
1410  Martin Green).
1411
[7c29c976]1412* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
1413  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
1414  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
1415
[7e01c87]1416* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]1417
[7e01c87]1418* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
1419  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
1420
1421* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
1422  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
1423  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
1424  of everything else.
1425
1426* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
1427  presentation icons.
1428
1429* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
1430  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]1431
[b46bf92]1432* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
1433
[796d7bf]1434* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
1435
[7e01c87]1436* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
1437
1438* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
1439
[b88b171]1440* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
1441  language to use for messages.
1442
[7c29c976]1443* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
1444  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
1445
[8ea82aa]1446* Removed old printer drivers.
1447
[7e01c87]1448* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
1449  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]1450
[920b066]1451Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]1452
1453* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
1454
[4ba80e0]1455* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
1456
1457* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
1458  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
1459
[95ce35f]1460* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
1461  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]1462
[95ce35f]1463* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
1464
[cd78148]1465* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
1466  underground legs is toggled.
1467
[f5627353]1468* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
1469  attached to the previous data.
1470
[dfe4a520]1471* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
1472  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
1473  them.
1474
[920b066]1475Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]1476
1477* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
1478
1479* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
1480  continental European countries).
1481
1482* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
1483  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
1484  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
1485
1486* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
1487
1488* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
1489  they're needed.
1490
1491* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
1492
1493* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
1494
1495* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
1496
1497* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
1498  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
1499  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
1500
1501* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
1502
[920b066]1503Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]1504
1505* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
1506
1507* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
1508
1509* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
1510
1511* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
1512
1513* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
1514
1515* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
1516
1517* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
1518  when there's a presentation loaded.
1519
1520* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
1521  in cave view.
1522
1523* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
1524
1525* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
1526  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
1527  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
1528
1529* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
1530  filename for file history and window title.
1531
1532* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
1533  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
1534  only needed with GTK1.2.
1535
1536* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
1537
1538* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
1539
1540* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
1541
1542* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
1543
1544Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]1545
1546* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
1547  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
1548  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
1549
1550* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
1551  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
1552
1553* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
1554  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
1555  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
1556  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]1557
[0e558e5]1558* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]1559
1560* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
1561  with --help and --version.
1562
1563* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
1564  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]1565  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]1566  Fixed all these problems.
1567
1568* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
1569  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
1570  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
1571
1572* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]1573  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
1574  sources.
[8faa5d8]1575
[0e558e5]1576* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]1577
1578* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
1579
1580* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
1581  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
1582
1583* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
1584  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
1585  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
1586  animating.
1587
1588* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
1589
1590* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
1591
1592* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
1593  to this branch.
1594
1595* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
1596
1597  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
1598
1599  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
1600
1601  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
1602
1603* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]1604
[8faa5d8]1605* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
1606  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
1607
1608* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
1609
1610* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]1611  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]1612
1613* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
1614
1615* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
1616  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
1617  for anyone building from CVS).
1618
1619* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
1620
[4855072]1621* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]1622
1623* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
1624
1625* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
1626
[0e558e5]1627* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
1628  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]1629  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
1630
1631* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
1632  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
1633
1634* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
1635
1636* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]1637  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
1638  loaded).
[8faa5d8]1639
1640* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
1641
[920b066]1642Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]1643
1644* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]1645  startup.
[a7aa27d9]1646
1647* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
1648  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
1649
[920b066]1650Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]1651
[91e416e]1652* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
1653  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
1654  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]1655
[91e416e]1656* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
1657  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
1658  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]1659
[91e416e]1660* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
1661  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
1662  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]1663
[91e416e]1664* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]1665
[0580c6a]1666* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
1667  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
1668
[4261983]1669* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
1670  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
1671
1672* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
1673  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]1674
[f80077a]1675* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]1676
[6abab84]1677* aven: Perspective view.
1678
[91e416e]1679* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]1680
[91e416e]1681* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
1682  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]1683
[1690fa9]1684* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
1685  and load/save/run them.
1686
[0580c6a]1687* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
1688
[045e2af]1689* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
1690
[c60062d]1691* aven: Depth fogging option.
1692
[0580c6a]1693* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
1694
1695* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
1696
[f433fda]1697* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
1698  showing the surface legs.
1699
[0580c6a]1700* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
