3Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-??):
4
5* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
6
7* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
8
[48d5a6f]9* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
10  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
11
12* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
13  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
14  Patch from Thomas Holder.
15
16* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
17  string properly.
[d2b22b1]18
19* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
20  where the included filename is actually specified.
21
22* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
23  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
24
[48d5a6f]25* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
26  running on the Continuous Integration system.
27
[d2b22b1]28* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
29
[570b57d]30Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
31
32* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
33
34* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
35  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
36  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
37  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
38
39* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
40  in 1.4.0.
41
42* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
43
[67f9739]44Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
[3b69f29]45
46* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
[cccc545]47  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
48  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
49  Couwenberg.
[3b69f29]50
51  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
52  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
53  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
54  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
55
56  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
[e91c656]57  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
[3b69f29]58
59* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
60  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
61  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
62
63* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
64  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
65  strings is strongly discouraged.
66
67  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
68
69  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
70
[67f9739]71  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
72  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
[3b69f29]73
74* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
75  Green.
76
77* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
78  echarlie.
79
80* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
81  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
82  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
83
84* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
85
[67f9739]86* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
87
[3b69f29]88* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
89
90* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
91
92* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
93  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
94  stations not attached to a fixed point.
95
[738af38]96Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
97
98* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
99  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
100  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
101  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
102  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
103
104* aven:
105
106  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
107    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
108    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
109    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
110    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
111    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
112
113* testsuite:
114
115  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
116    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
117    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
118    process exits.
119
120* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
121
[38bc415]122Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
123
124* aven:
125
126  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
[f9de21a]127
128* cavern:
129
[66b477f]130  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
131
132  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
133    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
134    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
135
[f9de21a]136  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
137    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
138    until the next *data command with parameters.
139
140  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
141    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
142
143  * Improve test coverage.
144
145* survexport:
146
147  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
148    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
149
150  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
151    Batista.
152
153* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
154  Holder.
155
[66b477f]156* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
157  from Thomas Holder.
158
[f9de21a]159* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
160  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
161
162* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
163
164* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
165
166* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
167
168* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
169
170* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
171
[fe8a1b4]172Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
173
174* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
175  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
176  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
177
178* aven:
179
180  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
181    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
182    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
183
184  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
185    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
186    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
187    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
188
189  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
190    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
191    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
192
193  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
194
[040c02e]195Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
196
197* aven:
198
199  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
200
201  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
202    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
203    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
204
205  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
206    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
207    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
208    orientation.
209
210* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
211  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
212  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
213  Richard Knapp.
214
215* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
216  might still need to use them for.
217
218* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
219
220* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
221
222* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
223  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
224  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
225  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
226
227* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
228  is now the recommended approach.
229
[0957d63]230Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
231
232* aven:
233
234  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
235    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
236    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
237    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
238    Brian Clipstone.
239
240  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
241    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
242
[d034033]243Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
244
245* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
246  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
247  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
248
249* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
250  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
251  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
252  with some compilers.
253
254* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
255  installed.
256
[9fe70e44]257Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
258
259* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
260  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
261  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
262
263* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
264  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
265  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
266
267* aven:
268
269  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
270    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
271    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
272    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
273    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
274    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
275    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
276    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
277    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
278    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
279    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
280
281  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
282
283* Documentation:
284
285  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
286
287  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
288    placeholder.
289
290  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
291    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
292
293* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
294  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
295  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
296
297* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
298  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
299  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
300  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
301  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
302  location to avoid confusion.
303
304* Add a few more message translations.
305
306* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
307
[66b555d]308Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
309
310* cavern:
311
312  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
313    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
314    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
315    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
316    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
317
318  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
319    now reports "file not found" instead.
320
321  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
322    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
323    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
324
325* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
326
327* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
328  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
329  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
330  removed.
331
332* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
333  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
334  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
335  information.  Patch from James Begley.
336
[3147062]337Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
338
339* aven:
340
341  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
342    controllable.
343
344  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
345
346  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
347    Patch from Robert Jones.
348
349  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
350    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
351    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
352
[0482978]353  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
354    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
355
[3ed7da1]356* cavern:
[3147062]357
[3ed7da1]358  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
359    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
[3147062]360
[3ed7da1]361  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
362    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
363    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
364    go unnoticed.
[3147062]365
366* survexport:
367
368  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
369    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
370    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
371
372  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
373    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
374    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
375    Stephen Crabtree.
376
377* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
378
379* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
380  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
381
382* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
383  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
384  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
385  therion's team command.
386
[26ab0a7]387Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
388
389* aven:
390
391  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
392
393  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
394    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
395    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
396    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
397    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
398    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
399    for new entrances.
400
401  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
402    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
403    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
404    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
405
406  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
407
408  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
409    to show via the right-click menu.
410
411  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
412    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
413    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
414    child surveys of the parent.
415
416  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
417    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
418    survey.
419
420  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
421    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
422
423  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
424
425  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
426    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
427
428  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
429    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
430    filtering this matters more).
431
432* survexport:
433
434  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
435    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
436
437  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
438
439* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
440
441* Minor translation updates.
442
443* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
444
445* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
446
447* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
448
[facb636]449Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
450
451* aven:
452
453  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
454    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
455    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
456    on screen, printed and exported.
457
458  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
459    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
460    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
461    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
462    survey.
463
464  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
465    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
466    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
467    view.  Reported by Wookey.
468
469  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
470    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
471    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
472
473  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
474    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
475
476  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
477    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
478
479  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
480    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
481
482  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
483    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
484
485  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
486    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
487
488* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
489  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
490  tools could do, plus much more.
491
492* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
493
494* Minor updates to various other translations.
495
496* img library:
497
498  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
499
500  + Improve API documentation.
501
502* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
503  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
504  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
505
506* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
507  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
508  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
509  control what gets exported.
510
[5279c800]511Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
512
513* aven:
514
515  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
516    of 1.2.33.
517
518  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
519
[f057bc1]520Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
521
522* aven:
523
524  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
525    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
526    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
527    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
528
529  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
530    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
531    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
532    Erin Lynch.
533
534  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
535    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
536    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
537
538  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
539    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
540    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
541    unnecessarily.
542
543  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
544    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
545    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
546    for this control).
547
548  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
549    under GTK3.
550
551  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
552    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
553    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
554
555  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
556    current development version).
557
558  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
559    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
560    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
561
562* cavern:
563
564  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
565    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
566    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
567    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
568    "19".
569
570* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
571  Evaristo Quiroga.
572
573* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
574
575* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
576  milosch.
577
578* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
579  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
580  translated messages.
581
582* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
583  Indonesian and Polish.
584
585* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
586  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
587  Reported by Martin Sluka.
588
589* Fix a few compiler warnings.
590
591* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
592  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
593  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
594
595* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
596
597  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
598    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
599    but happens to fail if it isn't.
600
601  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
602
603  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
604
605  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
606
607* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
608  detected at run time on macOS.
609
610* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
611  by the homebrew formula.
612
613* buildmacosx.sh:
614
615  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
616    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
617
618  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
619
620* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
621  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
622
[66576b6]623Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
624
625* aven:
626
627  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
628    and Anthony Day.
629
630  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
631    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
632    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
633    Erin Lynch in #89.
634
635  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
636    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
637    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
638    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
639    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
640    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
641    elevations.
642
643  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
644    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
645    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
646
647  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
648    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
649    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
650    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
651    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
652    "on".
653
654  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
655    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
656
657  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
658    the display wouldn't update right away.
659
660* Manual:
661
662  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
663
664  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
665
666* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
667  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
668  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
669  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
670  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
671
[28695f1]672Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
[11c814b]673
674* aven:
675
676  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
677    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
678    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
679
680  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
681    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
682    before by others.
683
684  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
685
686  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
687    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
688    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
689    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
690    original change.
691
[28695f1]692  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
693    which extends beyond the end of the line).
[11c814b]694
695  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
696    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
697
698  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
699
[28695f1]700  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
[11c814b]701
[28695f1]702  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
703    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
704    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
705    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
706    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
707    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
708    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
[11c814b]709
710  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
711    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
712
[28695f1]713  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
714    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
715    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
716
717  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
718    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
719    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
720    much vertical range.
721
722  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
723    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
724    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
725    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
726    are drawn in this way.
727
728  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
729    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
730    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
731    centre should be a single pixel.
[11c814b]732
733* cavern:
734
[28695f1]735  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
736    entering passage data where there are side passages.
737
738  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
739    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
740
[11c814b]741  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
742    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
[28695f1]743    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
744    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
[11c814b]745
746  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
747    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
748    Reported by Erin Lynch.
749
750  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
751    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
752    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
753    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
754
755  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
756    other messages.
757
[28695f1]758* extend:
759
760  + Now runs a bit faster.
761
762  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
763    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
764    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
765    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
766    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
767    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
768    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
769    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
770    be handled better) most welcome.
771
772* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
773
774* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
775
776* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
777  translations from therion.
778
779* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
780  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
781
[11c814b]782* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
783  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
784  Footleg.
785
[28695f1]786* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
787
788* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
[11c814b]789
[56b37f3]790Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
791
792* aven:
793
794  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
795    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
796
797  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
798    Suggested by detrito.
799
800  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
801    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
802
803  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
804    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
805
806* Add man page for dump3d.
807
[d0418ac]808Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
809
810* aven:
811
812  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
813    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
814
815  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
[53c1e5d]816    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
[d0418ac]817
818* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
819  Lynch and "detrito".
820
821* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
822  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
823
[6897356]824Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
[0d8f67a]825
826* cavern:
827
828  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
829    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
830    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
831    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
832    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
833
834  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
835
836  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
837
838  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
839    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
840    degrees).
[99b3298]841
842* aven:
843
844  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
845    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
846    Day.
847
848  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
849    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
850
851  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
852    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
853
[0d8f67a]854  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
855    of the line in cavern log window.
856
[99b3298]857  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
858
859  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
860
[6897356]861  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
862    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
863    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
864    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
865    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
866
[0d8f67a]867  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
868    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
869    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
870
[99b3298]871  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
872
873  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
874
875  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
876    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
877    Atkinson and myself.
878
879  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
880
881  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
882    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
883    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
884    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
885    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
886    survey.
887
888  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
889    lines on my netbook.
890
891  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
892    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
893    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
894
[6897356]895  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
896    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
897    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
898    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
899    glitches.
900
901  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
902    we currently list, though slower to write.
903
904  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
905    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
906
907  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
908    warnings when building against a recent version.
909
[99b3298]910  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
911    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
912    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
913    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
914
[f55cbeb]915  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
916    movie export.
917
918  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
919    export.
920
[99b3298]921* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
922  James Begley.
923
[0d8f67a]924* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
925  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
926
[99b3298]927* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
928
[7333c2c]929* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
930  messages get used automatically.
931
932* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
933  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
934
[0d8f67a]935* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
936
937* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
938
939* Use https for more URLs which support it.
940
[690fdab]941Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
[dfe8d05]942
943* aven:
944
945  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
946    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
947    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
948    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
949    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
950    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
951    probably change in the future).
952
[690fdab]953  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
954    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
955    the survey tree root.
[dfe8d05]956
[690fdab]957  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
958    the view was recentred).
[dfe8d05]959
960  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
961    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
962    wrong direction).
963
964  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
965    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
966    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
967
[690fdab]968  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
969    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
970    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
971    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
[dfe8d05]972
973  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
974    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
975
[690fdab]976  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
977    addresses #60.
978
979  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
980
981  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
982    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
983    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
984
985  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
986
987  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
988    360 or down past 0.
989
990  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
991    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
992    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
993    real-valued ones.
[dfe8d05]994
995  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
996    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
997
[690fdab]998  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
999    Lynch.
[dfe8d05]1000
[690fdab]1001  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
1002
1003  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
1004    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
1005
1006  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
1007    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
1008    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
1009
1010  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
1011    should now work.
[dfe8d05]1012
1013* cavern:
1014
1015  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
1016
1017  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
1018    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
1019    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
1020
1021  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
1022    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
1023    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
1024
1025  + Fix check for end of version number array in *required.   We would check up
1026    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
1027    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
1028    issue.
1029
1030  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
1031    by patch from Colin Watson.
1032
[690fdab]1033  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
1034
[dfe8d05]1035* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1036
1037* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
1038  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
1039
[690fdab]1040* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
1041  used in the same dataset.
1042
[dfe8d05]1043* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
1044  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
1045
1046* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
1047  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
1048  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
1049
1050* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
1051
[cd746b9]1052Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
1053
1054* aven:
1055
1056  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
1057    cavern again.
1058
[8ee50db]1059* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
1060  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
1061  location and use the same start menu folder.
1062
1063* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
1064  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
1065
1066* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
1067  by James Begley.
1068
[cd5cd8f]1069Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
[4e92bec]1070
[cd5cd8f]1071* aven:
[4e92bec]1072
[cd5cd8f]1073  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
1074    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
1075    to address.
[4e92bec]1076
[cd5cd8f]1077  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
1078    over the survey tree.
[4e92bec]1079
[cd5cd8f]1080  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
[4e92bec]1081
[cd5cd8f]1082  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
1083    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]1084
[cd5cd8f]1085  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
1086    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
1087    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
1088    encoded.
[4e92bec]1089
[cd5cd8f]1090  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
1091    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
1092    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
1093    terminals which do still support this.
[4e92bec]1094
[cd5cd8f]1095  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
1096    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
[4e92bec]1097
[cd5cd8f]1098* cavern:
[4e92bec]1099
[cd5cd8f]1100  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
1101    Edwards (see #78).
[4e92bec]1102
[cd5cd8f]1103  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
1104    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
1105    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
1106    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
[4e92bec]1107
[cd5cd8f]1108  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
1109    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
1110    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
[4e92bec]1111
[cd5cd8f]1112  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
1113    from Pete Smart (see #69).
[4e92bec]1114
[cd5cd8f]1115* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
1116  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
1117  Black.
[4e92bec]1118
[cd5cd8f]1119* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
[4e92bec]1120
[cd5cd8f]1121* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
1122  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
1123  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
1124  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
1125  Black.
[4e92bec]1126
[cd5cd8f]1127* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
1128  Black.
[4e92bec]1129
[cd5cd8f]1130* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
[4e92bec]1131
[cd5cd8f]1132* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
[4e92bec]1133
[cd5cd8f]1134* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]1135
[cd5cd8f]1136* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
[4e92bec]1137
[cd5cd8f]1138* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
[4e92bec]1139
[cd5cd8f]1140* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
1141  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
[4e92bec]1142
[cd5cd8f]1143* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
1144  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
1145  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
[4e92bec]1146
[cd5cd8f]1147* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
1148  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
1149  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
1150  privileges or not.
[4e92bec]1151
[52dad0e]1152Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
1153
1154* aven:
1155
1156  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
1157    Clipstone.
1158
1159  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
1160    Reported by Jenny Black.
1161
1162  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
1163    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
1164    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
1165
1166  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
1167    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
1168    messages.
1169
1170  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
1171    the terminal in 1.2.23.
1172
1173* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
1174  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
1175
1176* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
1177
1178* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
1179  by Wookey.
1180
[1ff33eb]1181Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
[1ed104f]1182
1183* aven:
1184
1185  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
1186    machines.
1187
1188  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
1189
1190  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
1191    already being processed.
1192
1193  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
1194    Reported by Martin Green.
1195
[d56a2d4]1196  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
1197
1198* cavern:
1199
1200  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
1201    find the original survey notes).
1202
1203  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
1204    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
1205    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
1206    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
1207    progress display to be useful.
[1ed104f]1208
1209* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
1210
[d56a2d4]1211* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
1212  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
1213
[1ed104f]1214* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
1215  running cavern.
1216
[53b6a5a]1217* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
1218  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
1219  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
1220
[7f7dbd5]1221Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
[d225571]1222
1223* aven:
1224
1225  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
1226    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
1227    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
1228    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
1229    finding this fix.
1230
1231* cavern:
1232
1233  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
1234
1235  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
1236    station.
1237
[7f7dbd5]1238  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
1239    *export.
1240
[2d865b7]1241Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
[31e9b72]1242
[03c259e]1243* aven:
1244
[2d865b7]1245  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
1246    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
1247    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
1248
[22f17f1]1249  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
1250
[03c259e]1251  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
1252    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
1253    does.
1254
[2d865b7]1255  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
1256    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
1257
1258  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
1259    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
1260
1261  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
1262    as appropriate.
1263
[03c259e]1264  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
1265    values on Windows.
1266
1267* cavern:
1268
[22f17f1]1269  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
1270    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
1271    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
1272
[2d865b7]1273  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
1274    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
1275
1276  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
1277    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
1278    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
[1687a13]1279    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
1280
1281  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
1282    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
1283    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
1284    Atkinson.
[2d865b7]1285
1286  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
1287    actual error rather than on a separate line.
[22f17f1]1288
[03c259e]1289  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
1290    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
1291    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
1292    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
1293
1294  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
1295    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
1296    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
1297
1298* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
1299  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
1300  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
1301  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
1302
1303* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
1304
[2d865b7]1305* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
1306  "*DECLINATION" command.
1307
[ab3b4a9]1308* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
1309  Reported by Jenny Black.
1310
1311* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
1312  documentation.
1313
[22f17f1]1314* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
1315  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
1316
1317* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
1318
[2d865b7]1319* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
1320
[7027ea1]1321Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
[0eaf4b1]1322
1323* aven:
1324
[6de8e942]1325  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
[31e9b72]1326    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
1327    the same or very similar by default.
[0eaf4b1]1328
1329  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
1330    Maynard.
1331
1332  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
1333
[7027ea1]1334  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
1335
1336  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
1337    away.
1338
1339  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
[6de8e942]1340
1341  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
1342    display it.
1343
1344* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
1345  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
1346  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
1347  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
1348
[0eaf4b1]1349* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
1350
1351* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
1352  before 1.2.19.
1353
1354* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
1355  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
1356
1357* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
1358
1359* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
1360  disk image.
1361
[6de8e942]1362* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
1363
[0eaf4b1]1364* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
1365  libav features we don't use.
1366
1367* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
1368  a load of libav features we don't use.
1369
1370* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
1371  message in the installer.
1372
[1dc99d1]1373Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
[f96ac93]1374
1375* aven:
1376
1377  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
1378    the exported file in 1.2.18.
1379
[2dac61e1]1380  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
1381
[4b67f71]1382  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
1383    exit full screen mode.
1384
1385  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
1386    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
1387    using since 1.2.7).
[2dac61e1]1388
[f96ac93]1389  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
1390    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
1391    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
1392    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
[2dac61e1]1393    St. Lawrence.
[f96ac93]1394
1395  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
1396    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
1397
1398  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
1399    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
1400    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
1401
1402  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
1403    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
1404    case like we do on other platforms.
1405
[739440f]1406  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
1407
[2dac61e1]1408  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
1409    support multi-monitor setups.
1410
[f96ac93]1411  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
1412    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
1413
[4b67f71]1414  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
1415    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
1416
[f96ac93]1417  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
1418    cases.
1419
[2dac61e1]1420  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
1421    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
1422    Erin Lynch)
1423
1424  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
1425    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
1426    items in in so it uses the full width.
[f96ac93]1427
1428  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
1429    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
1430    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
1431    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
1432    window.
1433
[2dac61e1]1434  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
1435    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
1436    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
1437    only relevant on the first ever run.
[f96ac93]1438
1439* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
1440
1441* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
1442  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
1443  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
1444  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
1445  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
1446  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
1447
[4b67f71]1448* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
1449  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
1450
[3f02aa4]1451Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
[2595419]1452
[4a8031f]1453* aven:
[a5670c7]1454
[4a8031f]1455  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
1456    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
1457    rendering it as a transparent surface.
[a5670c7]1458
[4a8031f]1459  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
1460    sanely want to perform from the menu.
[a5670c7]1461
[4a8031f]1462  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
1463    colouring options.
[a5670c7]1464
[4a8031f]1465  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
[a5670c7]1466
[4a8031f]1467  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
1468    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
1469    pressing "Escape".
[a5670c7]1470
[38e5701]1471  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
1472    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
1473
[4a8031f]1474  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
1475    exporting.
[a5670c7]1476
[38e5701]1477  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
1478
1479  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
1480    is quite likely to change.
1481
[4a8031f]1482  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
1483    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
[a5670c7]1484
[4a8031f]1485  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
1486    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
1487    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
1488
1489  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
1490
1491  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
1492    markers in orange.
1493
1494  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
1495    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
1496
1497  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
1498    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
1499    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
1500    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
1501    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
1502    them would be better.
1503
1504  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
1505    Gee.
1506
1507  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
1508    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
1509    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
1510
1511  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
1512
1513* cavern:
[0476b10]1514
[38e5701]1515  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
1516    susscorfa).
1517
[4a8031f]1518  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
[38e5701]1519    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
[4a8031f]1520
1521  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
1522
1523  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
1524    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
1525
1526  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
1527    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
1528
1529* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
1530
1531* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
1532  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
1533  in a modern desktop.
[a5670c7]1534
[dd65182]1535* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
1536  the filename in the error message.
1537
[4a8031f]1538* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
1539  most complete translations.
[dd65182]1540
[4a8031f]1541* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
[dd65182]1542
[4a8031f]1543* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
1544  lacks them.
[dd65182]1545
[4a8031f]1546* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
1547
1548* Manual:
1549
1550  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
1551    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
1552
1553  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
[dd65182]1554
[4a8031f]1555  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
[dd65182]1556
[4a8031f]1557  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
1558    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
1559    available for download.
1560
1561* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
1562  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
1563  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
[2595419]1564
[4a8031f]1565* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
[dd65182]1566
[3f02aa4]1567* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
1568
[1646310]1569Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
[a6064e2]1570
1571* MacOS X version:
1572
1573  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
1574
[e067870]1575  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
[9e053fc]1576
[e067870]1577  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
1578
1579  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
[9e053fc]1580
1581  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
1582    currently do this for us.
1583
[a6064e2]1584  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
1585
1586  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
1587
[9e053fc]1588  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
1589
1590  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
1591    OS X cursor.
1592
[e067870]1593  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
1594    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
1595    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
1596    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
1597    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
1598    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
1599    with TextEdit.app for example).
1600
1601  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
1602    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
1603
[a6064e2]1604  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
1605
[9e053fc]1606  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
1607    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
1608
1609  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
1610    Riggs.
1611
1612  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
1613    space.
1614
[4baea3a]1615  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
[9e053fc]1616
1617  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
1618    10.10.1.
1619
1620  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
1621    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
1622    errors.
1623
[4baea3a]1624  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
1625    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
1626    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
1627    wxWidgets build supports by default.
1628
[e067870]1629  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
1630
[a6064e2]1631* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
1632  treat as a single leg.
1633
[9e053fc]1634* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
1635
1636* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
1637
1638* aven:
1639
1640  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
1641    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
1642
1643  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
1644    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
1645    1:500).
1646
1647  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
1648    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
1649    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
1650    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
1651
1652  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
1653    there rather than the two animations fighting.
1654
1655  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
1656    fast.
1657
1658  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
1659    when rotating).
1660
[1646310]1661  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
1662    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
1663
1664* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
1665  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
1666
1667* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
1668
1669* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
1670
1671* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
1672
1673* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
[e067870]1674
[a6064e2]1675* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
1676  we're using git.
1677
[1646310]1678* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
1679
1680  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
1681    compass.
1682
1683  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
1684
1685  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
[a6064e2]1686
[03d0e8b]1687Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
[9aa10ad]1688
1689* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
1690
[f480117d]1691* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
1692
[9aa10ad]1693* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
1694
1695* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
1696  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
1697
1698* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
1699
1700* tests/: Improve test coverage.
1701
[7bd113b]1702* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
1703  Greek and Polish.
[9aa10ad]1704
1705* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
1706  by Martin Sluka.
1707
1708* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
1709  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1710
[44f51ca]1711Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
1712
1713* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
1714  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
1715  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
1716  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
1717  for *cs has also been improved.
1718
1719* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
1720  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
1721  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
1722  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
1723
1724* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
1725  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
1726  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
1727  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
1728  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
1729
1730* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
1731  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
1732  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
1733
1734* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
1735
1736* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
1737
1738* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
1739  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
1740  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
1741
1742* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
1743  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
1744
[6a87cce]1745Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
[5c676e2]1746
[1efeb6d]1747* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
1748  system in use in 3d v8 files.
1749
1750* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
1751  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
[6a87cce]1752  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
1753  export dialog.
[1efeb6d]1754
[ea59b58]1755* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
1756  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
1757  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
1758  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
1759  rather than having one corner there.
1760
[26e7fa4]1761* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
1762  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
1763
[5c676e2]1764* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
1765  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
1766
[515b83e]1767* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
1768  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
1769  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
1770
[5c676e2]1771* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
1772  such as 64-bit Linux.
1773
[2c5ec88]1774* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
1775  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
1776
[5c676e2]1777* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
1778  64-bit platforms.
1779
[ea59b58]1780* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
1781  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
1782  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
1783
[2c5ec88]1784* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
1785  the space available in the aven UI.
1786
[1efeb6d]1787* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
1788  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
1789  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
[ea59b58]1790
[515b83e]1791* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
1792  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
1793
[6a87cce]1794* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
1795  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
1796  about unconnected surveys.
1797
1798* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
1799  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
1800
[67a0fc6]1801* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
1802  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
1803  freed memory.
1804
[1efeb6d]1805* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
1806
1807* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
1808
[2c5ec88]1809* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
1810
[5c676e2]1811* Fix a compiler warning.
1812
1813* Improve test coverage.
1814
[0d365be]1815Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
[acbb5b1]1816
[8ccd1d8]1817* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
1818  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
1819  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
1820
[acbb5b1]1821* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
1822  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
1823  Hugh St Lawrence.
1824
[0d365be]1825* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
[8ccd1d8]1826  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
1827  with using aven on a touch screen device.
1828
[acbb5b1]1829* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
1830  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
1831
1832* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
1833  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
1834
1835* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
1836  off and back on.
1837
1838* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
1839  up time a little.
1840
1841* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
1842  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
1843
1844* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
1845  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
1846  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
1847  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
1848  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
1849  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
1850  situation too.
1851
1852* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
1853  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
1854  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
1855
1856* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
1857
1858* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
1859
1860* Minor translation updates to French.
1861
1862* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
1863
1864* Testsuite improvements:
1865
1866  + Test that "..." anon station works.
1867
1868  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
1869    fail and give an error count.
1870
1871  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
1872
[ad727d8]1873Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
[46d12e9]1874
[63e8642]1875* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
1876  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
1877  Clipstone.
[46d12e9]1878
[ad727d8]1879* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
1880
1881* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
1882
1883  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
1884    overlap the scale bar ticks.
1885
1886  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
1887    clipping the border in print preview.
1888
1889  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
1890
[63e8642]1891* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
1892  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
[46d12e9]1893
[63e8642]1894* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
1895  available.
[46d12e9]1896
[ad727d8]1897* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
1898
1899* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
1900
1901* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
1902  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
1903
[63e8642]1904* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
1905  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
[46d12e9]1906
[63e8642]1907* Various translation updates.
[46d12e9]1908
[aac3336]1909Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
[fb941bfd]1910
1911* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
1912  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
1913
[aac3336]1914* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
1915  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
1916  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
1917  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
1918
[ad3017d]1919* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
1920  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
1921
[77bdacf]1922* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
1923  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
[ad3017d]1924
1925* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
1926  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
1927
1928* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
1929  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1930
1931* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
1932  box".
1933
1934* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
1935
1936* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
1937  indicators.
1938
1939* aven: All length units are now translatable.
1940
[fb941bfd]1941* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
1942  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
1943  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
1944
[ad3017d]1945* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
1946  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
1947  measurably slower.
1948
1949* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
1950  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
1951
[77bdacf]1952* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
1953  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
1954
[ad3017d]1955* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
1956  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
1957  from Therion and elsewhere.
1958
1959* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
1960  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
1961  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
[fb941bfd]1962
1963* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
1964  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
1965
1966* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
1967  A. Riggs for his work on this.
1968
1969* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
1970  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
1971
1972* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
1973
[ad3017d]1974* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
1975  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
1976  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
1977  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
1978  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
1979  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1980
1981* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
1982
[0ecf3b1]1983Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
1984
1985* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
1986  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
1987  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
1988  Clipstone.
1989
[53966d3]1990* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
1991  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
1992
[6f0d0d8]1993* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
1994  exported SVG files.
1995
1996* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
1997
1998* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
1999  file.
2000
2001* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
2002  GPX files.
2003
2004* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
2005
[0ecf3b1]2006* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
2007  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
2008
2009* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
2010  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
2011  on startup.
2012
2013* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
2014
2015* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
2016  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
2017  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
2018  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
2019  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
2020  other extensions.
2021
2022* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
2023  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
2024  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
2025  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
2026  timezone wrong.
2027
2028* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
2029
[6f0d0d8]2030* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
2031  'SURVEY DATE:'.
[0ecf3b1]2032
[6f0d0d8]2033* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
[0ecf3b1]2034
[6f0d0d8]2035* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
[0ecf3b1]2036
[53966d3]2037* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
2038  enabled.
2039
[6b6fb4d]2040Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
2041
2042* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
2043
2044* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
2045
2046* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
2047
2048* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
2049  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
2050  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
2051
2052* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
2053  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
2054  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
2055
2056* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
2057  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
2058
2059* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
2060
2061* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
2062
2063* Fix some compiler warnings.
2064
[e1f27c4]2065Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
[da65891]2066
2067* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
2068  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
2069  Holder.
2070
[e1f27c4]2071* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
[034141d]2072  statistics when the value gets large.
2073
[a4adf09]2074* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
2075  equations.
2076
[e1f27c4]2077* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
2078  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
2079  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
2080  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
2081  better when the "View" box is hidden.
2082
[0056ee1]2083* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
2084  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
2085
[e1f27c4]2086* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
2087  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
2088  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
2089  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
2090  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
2091  way is coming soon.
2092
2093* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
2094  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
2095
2096* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
2097  time ago, so update references.
2098
2099* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
2100  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2101
2102* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
2103  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
2104
2105* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
2106  Sebastian Ramacher.
2107
2108* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
2109
2110* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
2111
2112* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
2113
2114* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
2115
2116* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
2117
2118* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
2119  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
2120  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
2121
2122* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
2123
2124* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
[9fc1cac]2125
[88b54df6]2126* img library:
2127
[e1f27c4]2128  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
2129    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
2130    reading).
2131
2132  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
2133    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
2134
2135  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
2136    support these as an extension.
[88b54df6]2137
[f807d8bf]2138  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
2139
[e1f27c4]2140* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
2141  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
2142  itself has any translations for.
2143
2144* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
2145
2146* Minor translation updates.
2147
2148* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
2149
[e34bebc]2150Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
[65d9b6b]2151
[e34bebc]2152* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
2153  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
2154  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
2155  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
[a5c74f2]2156  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
2157  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
[e34bebc]2158  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
2159  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]2160
[e34bebc]2161* New version 8 of the 3d format:
[07beaa4]2162
[e34bebc]2163  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[07beaa4]2164
[e34bebc]2165  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
2166    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
[da9d788]2167
[e34bebc]2168  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
2169    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
[da9d788]2170
[e34bebc]2171  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
[da9d788]2172
[e34bebc]2173  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
2174    human-readable string.
[da9d788]2175
[e34bebc]2176  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
2177    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
[da9d788]2178
[e34bebc]2179* img library:
[da9d788]2180
[e34bebc]2181  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[da9d788]2182
[e34bebc]2183  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
2184    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
[da9d788]2185
[e34bebc]2186  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
2187    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
2188    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
2189    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
2190    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
2191    explicitly in the file.
[da9d788]2192
[e34bebc]2193  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
[da9d788]2194
[e34bebc]2195* aven:
[da9d788]2196
[e34bebc]2197  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
2198    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
2199    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
2200    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
2201    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
2202    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
[da9d788]2203
[e34bebc]2204  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
2205    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
2206    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
2207    queued up.
[da9d788]2208
[e34bebc]2209  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
2210    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
2211
2212  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
2213    them like other legs.
2214
2215  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
2216    station names to positions.
2217
2218  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
2219    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
2220    wrongly.
2221
2222  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
2223
2224  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
2225    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
2226    that's used by the desktop).
2227
2228  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
[07beaa4]2229
[e34bebc]2230  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
2231    error from cavern.
[07beaa4]2232
[e34bebc]2233  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
[da9d788]2234
[e34bebc]2235  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
2236    in the dialog in sync.
[da9d788]2237
[e34bebc]2238* cavern:
[3dfffa2]2239
[e34bebc]2240  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
2241    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
2242    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
[3dfffa2]2243
[e34bebc]2244  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
2245    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]2246
[e34bebc]2247  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
2248    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
2249    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
2250    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
2251    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
2252    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
2253    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
2254    degrees.
[da9d788]2255
[e34bebc]2256  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
2257    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
2258    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
[da9d788]2259
[e34bebc]2260  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
[da9d788]2261
[e34bebc]2262  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
2263    warnings.
[07beaa4]2264
[e34bebc]2265  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
2266    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
[07beaa4]2267
[e34bebc]2268  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
2269    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
[da9d788]2270
[e34bebc]2271  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
2272    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
2273    relevant.
[da9d788]2274
[e34bebc]2275  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
2276    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
2277    the same line.
[da9d788]2278
[e34bebc]2279  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
2280    "End of line not blank" error.
[7f6250a]2281
[e34bebc]2282  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
2283    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
[3dfffa2]2284
[e34bebc]2285  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
2286    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
[07beaa4]2287
[e34bebc]2288  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
2289    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
2290    include that character in the token reported.
[3dfffa2]2291
[e34bebc]2292  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
2293    first item.
[07beaa4]2294
[e34bebc]2295* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
[07beaa4]2296
[e34bebc]2297* dump3d:
[07beaa4]2298
[e34bebc]2299  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
2300    info from 3d files in scripts.
[07beaa4]2301
[e34bebc]2302  + Add --show-dates option.
[07beaa4]2303
[e34bebc]2304  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
[07beaa4]2305
[e34bebc]2306  + Report the data style of legs.
[da9d788]2307
[e34bebc]2308  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
2309
2310  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
[3dfffa2]2311
2312* Test suite:
2313
2314  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
2315    expected output so it passes reliably.
2316
[e34bebc]2317  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
2318    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
2319
[07beaa4]2320  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
2321    for more.
2322
[e34bebc]2323* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
2324  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
2325  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
[3dfffa2]2326
2327* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
2328  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
2329
2330* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
2331  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
2332
[e34bebc]2333* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
[665183c]2334  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
[e34bebc]2335  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
2336  settings.
2337
2338* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
2339  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
2340  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
2341  set correctly.
2342
2343* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
2344  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
2345  them to translate.
2346
[07beaa4]2347* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
2348  close to complete.
[3dfffa2]2349
2350* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
2351
[07beaa4]2352* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
2353
[e34bebc]2354* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
2355
[c575465]2356Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
[b081031]2357
2358* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
2359
2360* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
2361  package (ticket#35).
2362
2363* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
2364  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
2365  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
2366
2367* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
2368  Kahler.
2369
2370* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
[c575465]2371  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
2372  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
2373  libproj and build survex with:
2374
2375      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
2376      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
[b081031]2377
2378* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
2379
2380* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
2381
2382* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
2383  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
2384  file".
2385
[685116f]2386Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
2387
2388* aven:
2389
2390  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
2391
2392  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
2393    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
2394
2395  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
2396
2397  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
2398
2399  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
2400    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
2401
2402* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
2403  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
2404  error early on).
2405
2406* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
2407  the man page source as well as in the filename.
2408
[f15ca67f]2409Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
2410
2411* aven:
2412
2413  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
2414    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
2415    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
2416    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
2417
2418  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
2419    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
2420
2421  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
2422
2423  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
2424
2425  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
2426
2427* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
2428
[5b9942e]2429Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
2430
2431* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
2432
2433* (Mac OS X version):
2434
2435  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
2436
2437  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
2438
2439  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
2440    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
2441
2442  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
2443
2444* aven:
2445
2446  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
2447
2448  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
2449
2450    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
2451      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
2452      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
2453      character.
2454
2455    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
2456      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
2457      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
2458      and two in a few cases.
2459
2460    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
2461      8 pixels.
2462
2463  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
2464    draw crosses.
2465
[3ea0178]2466  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
2467    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
2468    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
2469    is the start or end of a tube.
2470
[5b9942e]2471  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
2472    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
2473
2474  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
2475    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
2476    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
2477
[3ea0178]2478* extend:
2479
2480  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
[5b9942e]2481
[3ea0178]2482  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
2483    which means "no info").
2484
2485* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
2486  was no longer used - it certainly is!
2487
2488* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
2489  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
2490  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
2491  current character set.
[5b9942e]2492
[3ea0178]2493* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
[5b9942e]2494
2495* Test suite:
2496
2497  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
2498
2499  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
2500
[94960ad]2501Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
2502
2503* aven:
2504
2505  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
2506    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
2507    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
2508    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
2509    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
2510    usable format.
2511
2512  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
2513    files.  (ticket#26)
2514
2515  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
2516    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
2517
[53f8a93]2518  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
2519    using lines.
2520
[94960ad]2521  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
2522    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
2523
2524  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
2525    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
2526    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
2527    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
2528
2529  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
2530    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
2531    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
2532
2533  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
2534    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
2535    in 1.2.1.
2536
[9704252]2537Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
[e3c58c3]2538
2539* Translation updates for US English.
2540
2541* aven:
2542
2543  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
2544    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
2545
2546  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
2547
2548  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
2549    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
2550    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
2551    visually similar to the survey legs.
2552
2553  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
2554    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
2555
[9704252]2556  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
2557    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
2558    does still provide some useful information).
2559
2560  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
2561    a depth band boundary.
[e3c58c3]2562
2563  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
[9704252]2564    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
2565    full-screen mode).
[e3c58c3]2566
2567  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
2568    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
2569    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
2570    are a little better, though still not perfect.
2571
2572  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
2573    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
2574
2575  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
2576    that station.
2577
2578  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
2579    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
2580
2581  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
2582    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
2583    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
[9704252]2584    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
2585    a case as it is a bug).
[e3c58c3]2586
[9704252]2587  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
2588    invalidated on window width or height changes.
[e3c58c3]2589
2590  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
2591    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
2592    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
2593    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
2594
[9704252]2595  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
2596    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
2597    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
2598    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
2599    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
2600    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
2601    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
[e3c58c3]2602
2603  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
2604    similarly for other compass points.
2605
2606  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
2607    info in the "About" dialog.
2608
2609  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
2610    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
2611
2612  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
2613    as well as still working with older versions.
2614
2615  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
2616    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
2617
2618  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
2619    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
2620    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
2621    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
2622    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
2623
2624  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
2625    nicer and make better use of the available space.
2626
2627  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
2628    dialog.
2629
2630  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
2631    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
2632
2633  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
2634    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
2635
[9704252]2636  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
2637
[e3c58c3]2638  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
2639
2640  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
2641    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
2642    being pressed and toggle full screen.
2643
2644* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
2645  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
2646
2647* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
2648
2649* More messages are now available to be translated.
2650
2651* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
2652  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
2653
2654* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
2655
2656* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
2657  sudo for installing on Unix.
2658
2659* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
2660  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
2661
2662* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
2663  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
2664
2665* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2666
[120c1c6]2667Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
[b4ac7007]2668
2669* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
2670  English.
2671
[9cfcb3f]2672* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
2673  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
2674  case.
2675
2676* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
2677  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
2678  these into Survex's .msg format.
2679
[b4ac7007]2680* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
2681  an actual command).
2682
[9cfcb3f]2683* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
2684  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
2685  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
2686  recurrence of that).
2687
[b4ac7007]2688* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
2689  than /usr/doc/survex.
2690
2691* aven:
2692
[120c1c6]2693  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
2694
[9cfcb3f]2695  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
2696    nicer at larger sizes.
2697
[b4ac7007]2698  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
2699    with GLX >= 1.3.
2700
2701  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
2702
2703  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
[4095cc0]2704    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
2705    required libraries set up for building releases.
[b4ac7007]2706
2707  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
2708
2709  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
2710
2711  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
2712    rendered with icons on some platforms.
2713
[9cfcb3f]2714  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
2715    ISO8859-1).
2716
2717  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
2718    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
2719
2720  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
2721    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
2722
[b4ac7007]2723* cavern:
2724
2725  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
2726    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
2727    fatal error!
2728
[9cfcb3f]2729  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
2730    format to output.  (ticket#21)
2731
2732* img library:
2733
2734  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
2735    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
2736
[b4ac7007]2737* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
[120c1c6]2738  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
[b4ac7007]2739
[8f9b0b6d]2740Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]2741
2742* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
2743  Portuguese, and US English.
2744
2745* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]2746  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]2747
2748* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
2749  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
2750
2751* img.c:
2752
2753  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
2754
2755  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
2756
2757* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
2758
[8f9b0b6d]2759* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
2760  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
2761  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
2762  translated.
2763
[f5e3521]2764Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]2765
2766* aven:
2767
2768  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
2769    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
2770
2771  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
2772    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
2773    addresses ticket#12.
2774
2775  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
2776    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
2777    consistent shape.
2778
2779  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
2780    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
2781    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
2782    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
2783
2784  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
2785    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
2786
2787  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
2788
2789  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
2790    more places.
2791
2792  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]2793    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
2794
2795* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
2796
2797* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
2798  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
2799
2800* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]2801
2802* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
2803  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
2804  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
2805  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
2806  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
2807  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
2808
2809* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
2810  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
2811  redirecting to it.
2812
2813* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
2814  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
2815  I/O).
2816
2817* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
2818  headers.
2819
2820* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
2821
2822* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
2823  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
2824
2825* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
2826
[f9473ab]2827Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
2828
2829* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
2830
2831* aven:
2832
2833  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
2834    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
2835    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
2836    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
2837
2838  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
2839
2840  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
2841    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
2842    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
2843    a number.
2844
2845  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
2846    log window.
2847
2848  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
2849    various cases.
2850
2851  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
2852    (ticket#9)
2853
2854  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
2855    namespace with its own "Point" class.
2856
2857  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
2858    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
2859
2860  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
2861
2862  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
2863    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
2864
2865* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
2866  give them before.
2867
2868* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
2869  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
2870  point looking for them now.
2871
2872* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
2873  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
2874  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
2875  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
2876
2877* manual:
2878
2879  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
2880
2881  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
2882    (change taken from 1.0).
2883
2884* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
2885
[0bd49eb]2886Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]2887
2888* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
2889
[739b92c]2890* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]2891
2892* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]2893
2894* aven:
2895
[90d0d71]2896  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
2897
2898  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
2899    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
2900    seem to be Unicode now).
2901
2902  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
2903    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
2904
[e4bfd2f]2905  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
2906    text on the survey pane:
2907
2908    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
2909
2910    - Character spacing is improved.
2911
2912    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]2913
2914  + "About" dialog:
2915
2916    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
2917      bug reporting.
2918
2919    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
2920      modern gfx card.
2921
2922    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
2923
2924  + Processing .svx files:
2925
2926    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]2927
[739b92c]2928    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
2929      than opening a separate frame for it.
2930
[90d0d71]2931    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
2932
2933    - Fix small memory leak.
2934
2935  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
2936    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
2937    such a name.
2938
2939  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
2940
[e4bfd2f]2941  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
2942    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
2943    invocations.
2944
[90d0d71]2945  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
2946
2947  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
2948
[739b92c]2949  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
2950
[90d0d71]2951* Documentation:
2952
[e4bfd2f]2953  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
2954
2955  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
2956    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
2957    together isn't very useful.
2958
[90d0d71]2959  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
2960
2961  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
2962    the FSF website.
2963
2964  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
2965    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
2966    the source code.
2967
2968* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
2969  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]2970
[e4bfd2f]2971* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
2972  package from the source tarball.
2973
[739b92c]2974* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
2975  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
2976
[2e12f8c]2977Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]2978
2979* aven:
2980
[3db0798]2981  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
2982
[5940815]2983  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
2984
[6b2113d]2985  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
2986    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
2987    names/crosses).
2988
[920b066]2989Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
2990
2991* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
2992
[99d8798]2993* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
2994
[920b066]2995* aven:
[78c67a6]2996
[920b066]2997  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]2998
[920b066]2999  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]3000
[920b066]3001  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
3002    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]3003
[920b066]3004  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
3005    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]3006
[920b066]3007  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]3008
[920b066]3009  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
3010    depth colouring.
[99d8798]3011
[920b066]3012  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]3013
[920b066]3014  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]3015
[920b066]3016  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]3017
[920b066]3018  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]3019
[920b066]3020  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]3021
[920b066]3022  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]3023
[920b066]3024  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]3025
[920b066]3026  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]3027
[920b066]3028  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
3029    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]3030
[920b066]3031  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]3032
[920b066]3033  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
3034    default.
[99d8798]3035
[920b066]3036* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
3037  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]3038
[920b066]3039* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
3040  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]3041
[920b066]3042* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]3043
[920b066]3044* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]3045
[920b066]3046Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]3047
3048* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
3049  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
3050  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
3051  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
3052  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
3053
3054* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
3055  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
3056  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]3057
[ac3f376]3058* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
3059  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
3060  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
3061
3062* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
3063  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
3064  allowed).
3065
3066* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
3067
3068* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3069
3070* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3071
[920b066]3072Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]3073
3074* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
3075  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
3076
3077* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
3078  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
3079  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
3080
3081* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
3082  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
3083  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
3084  the new "*data passage" style.
3085
3086* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
3087  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
3088
3089* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
3090  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
3091  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
3092  some cases.
3093
3094* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
3095  with no survey loaded.
3096
3097* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
3098
3099* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
3100  loaded a survey.
3101
3102* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
3103
3104* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
3105
3106* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
3107  doesn't exist.
3108
3109* Updated French and Italian translations.
3110
3111* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]3112  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
3113
[6a2594be]3114* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
3115  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
3116  update their copy).
3117
3118* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
3119  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
3120  trying to compile).
3121
[920b066]3122Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]3123
[c988ae4]3124* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
3125  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
3126
[9577fcc]3127* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
3128  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
3129  has been disabled.
3130
[ecf2d23]3131* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
3132  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
3133  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
3134  time.
3135
[d1628e8e]3136* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
3137  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
3138  highlighted stations.
3139
[e67ed1b]3140* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
3141
[3ddd351]3142* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
3143  the tilt from plan to elevation.
3144
[c988ae4]3145* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
3146  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
3147
3148* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
3149  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
3150  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
3151
3152* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
3153  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
3154
3155* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
3156
[84f1ed1]3157* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
3158
[a884696]3159* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
3160
[9fe7af4f]3161* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
3162  run by an unprivileged user.
3163
3164* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
3165  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
3166  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
3167
3168* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
3169  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
3170
[cd39f67]3171* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
3172
[afffec4]3173* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]3174  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]3175
[38a192d]3176* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
3177  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
3178
[5892e08]3179* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
3180  if it isn't.
3181
[879e9c3]3182* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
3183  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
3184
[c8f929b]3185* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
3186  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
3187
3188* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
3189  reset to default view as well).
3190
3191* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
3192  empty.
3193
3194* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
3195  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
3196
[9ad92cc]3197* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]3198  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
3199  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]3200
3201* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
3202  and non-zero width lines.
3203
3204* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
3205  was turned on.
3206
3207* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
3208  not always being fully written.
3209
[920b066]3210Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]3211
3212* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
3213  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
3214  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
3215  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]3216
[8add4c9]3217* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
3218  with MS Windows).
3219
[9f524ee]3220* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
3221  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
3222  several surveys in the same directory).
3223
[185d793]3224* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]3225  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]3226
[3515947]3227* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
3228
[1235f9b]3229* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
3230  moved off a station.
3231
[4299674]3232* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]3233  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]3234
[60dbe70]3235* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
3236
[125c9ea]3237* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
3238  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
3239
[ec58e3d3]3240* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
3241  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
3242  dialogs.
3243
[8add4c9]3244* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
3245  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
3246
[6662d02]3247* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
3248  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]3249  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]3250
[b65c13f]3251* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
3252  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
3253  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
3254
[17cce5f]3255* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
3256  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
3257
[affaeee]3258* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
3259
[618b01f]3260* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
3261
[920b066]3262Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]3263
3264* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
3265  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
3266
[b88b171]3267* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
3268  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
3269  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
3270  3d file.
3271
[7e01c87]3272* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
3273
3274* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
3275
3276* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
3277  Instead turn off depth colouring.
3278
[8ea82aa]3279* aven: Export as HPGL added.
3280
[887c26e]3281* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
3282  Martin Green).
3283
[7c29c976]3284* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
3285  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
3286  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
3287
[7e01c87]3288* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]3289
[7e01c87]3290* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
3291  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
3292
3293* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
3294  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
3295  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
3296  of everything else.
3297
3298* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
3299  presentation icons.
3300
3301* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
3302  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]3303
[b46bf92]3304* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
3305
[796d7bf]3306* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
3307
[7e01c87]3308* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
3309
3310* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
3311
[b88b171]3312* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
3313  language to use for messages.
3314
[7c29c976]3315* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
3316  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
3317
[8ea82aa]3318* Removed old printer drivers.
3319
[7e01c87]3320* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
3321  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]3322
[920b066]3323Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]3324
3325* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
3326
[4ba80e0]3327* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
3328
3329* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
3330  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
3331
[95ce35f]3332* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
3333  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]3334
[95ce35f]3335* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
3336
[cd78148]3337* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
3338  underground legs is toggled.
3339
[f5627353]3340* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
3341  attached to the previous data.
3342
[dfe4a520]3343* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
3344  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
3345  them.
3346
[920b066]3347Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]3348
3349* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
3350
3351* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
3352  continental European countries).
3353
3354* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
3355  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
3356  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
3357
3358* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
3359
3360* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
3361  they're needed.
3362
3363* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
3364
3365* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
3366
3367* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
3368
3369* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
3370  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
3371  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
3372
3373* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
3374
[920b066]3375Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]3376
3377* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
3378
3379* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
3380
3381* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
3382
3383* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
3384
3385* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
3386
3387* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
3388
3389* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
3390  when there's a presentation loaded.
3391
3392* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
3393  in cave view.
3394
3395* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
3396
3397* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
3398  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
3399  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
3400
3401* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
3402  filename for file history and window title.
3403
3404* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
3405  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
3406  only needed with GTK1.2.
3407
3408* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
3409
3410* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
3411
3412* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
3413
3414* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
3415
3416Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]3417
3418* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
3419  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
3420  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
3421
3422* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
3423  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
3424
3425* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
3426  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
3427  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
3428  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]3429
[0e558e5]3430* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]3431
3432* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
3433  with --help and --version.
3434
3435* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
3436  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]3437  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]3438  Fixed all these problems.
3439
3440* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
3441  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
3442  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
3443
3444* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]3445  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
3446  sources.
[8faa5d8]3447
[0e558e5]3448* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]3449
3450* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
3451
3452* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
3453  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
3454
3455* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
3456  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
3457  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
3458  animating.
3459
3460* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
3461
3462* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
3463
3464* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
3465  to this branch.
3466
3467* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
3468
3469  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
3470
3471  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
3472
3473  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
3474
3475* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]3476
[8faa5d8]3477* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
3478  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
3479
3480* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
3481
3482* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]3483  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]3484
3485* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
3486
3487* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
3488  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
3489  for anyone building from CVS).
3490
3491* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
3492
[4855072]3493* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]3494
3495* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
3496
3497* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
3498
[0e558e5]3499* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
3500  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]3501  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
3502
3503* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
3504  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
3505
3506* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
3507
3508* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]3509  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
3510  loaded).
[8faa5d8]3511
3512* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
3513
[920b066]3514Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]3515
3516* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]3517  startup.
[a7aa27d9]3518
3519* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
3520  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
3521
[920b066]3522Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]3523
[91e416e]3524* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
3525  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
3526  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]3527
[91e416e]3528* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
3529  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
3530  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]3531
[91e416e]3532* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
3533  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
3534  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]3535
[91e416e]3536* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]3537
[0580c6a]3538* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
3539  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
3540
[4261983]3541* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
3542  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
3543
3544* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
3545  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]3546
[f80077a]3547* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]3548
[6abab84]3549* aven: Perspective view.
3550
[91e416e]3551* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]3552
[91e416e]3553* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
3554  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]3555
[1690fa9]3556* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
3557  and load/save/run them.
3558
[0580c6a]3559* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
3560
[045e2af]3561* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
3562
[c60062d]3563* aven: Depth fogging option.
3564
[0580c6a]3565* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
3566
3567* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
3568
[f433fda]3569* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
3570  showing the surface legs.
3571
[0580c6a]3572* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
Note: See TracBrowser for help on using the repository browser.
