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