[05956b5]37
38Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-04-03):
39
40        * buildmacosx.sh: Remove packaging of svxedit for OS X.
41        * survex.spec.in: Drop svxedit from RPM spec file.
42        * .gitignore,Makefile.am,configure.ac,lib/INSTALL.OSX,
43          lib/icons/Makefile.am,src/,survex.iss.in: Remove editwrap - while an
44          editor with built-in knowledge of survex would be nice to have,
45          svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly in a modern
46          desktop.
47
48        * lib/INSTALL.OSX,src/mainfrm.cc: Attempt to address the size of the
49          toolbar icons on Mac OS X.
50
51        * doc/manual.sgml: Fix bugs in the markup.
52        * .gitignore,configure.ac,doc/: Eliminate most of the SGML entities we
53          define.
[0476b10]54
55        * lib/icons/Makefile.am,lib/icons/solid-surface.png,
56          lib/icons/solid_surface.xpm,lib/survex.pot,src/: Add UI for toggling
57          terrain on and off.
58        * src/gfxcore.cc,src/gfxcore.h,src/mainfrm.h: Terrain data work in
59          progress.
[05956b5]60        * src/gfxcore.cc: Read terrain data directly from the zip file.
[0adeec6]61
[dd65182]62* aven: Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
63  currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
64  Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
65
[0adeec6]66* aven: Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
[dd65182]67
[2595419]68* aven: Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
[0adeec6]69
[dd65182]70* aven: Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
71  which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by pressing
72  "Escape".
73
74* aven: Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
75  exporting.
76
77* aven: In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
78  markers in orange.
79
80* aven: Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
81  print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due to
82  a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody has
83  ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should support
84  setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting them
85  would be better.
86
87* aven: Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
88  buffered I/O with select() on the file descriptor.
89
90* aven: Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
91  Gee.
92
93* aven: Add JSON export.
94
[0476b10]95* aven: Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
96  account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
97  won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
98
[a5670c7]99* cavern: Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
100  errors, and the stats at the end of the run.
101
[0476b10]102* cavern: Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
103
104* cavern: Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in
105  front of warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
106
[2595419]107* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
108
[a5670c7]109* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
110
111* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
112  lacks them.
113
114* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
115
116* cavern: Warn if fore and back measurements differ by more than 3 SDs, rather
117  than just by 2 SDs.
118
119* doc/manual.sgml: Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks
120  for Wookey for highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
121
122* doc/manual.sgml: Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
123
[0476b10]124* doc/manual.sgml: Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
[a5670c7]125
[0476b10]126* doc/manual.sgml: Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer
127  there.  Remove offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image
128  which isn't available for download.
[a5670c7]129
[0476b10]130* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
131  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
132  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
133
134* doc/TODO.htm: "Save cavern log from aven" now implemented.
[a5670c7]135
[dd65182]136* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
137  the filename in the error message.
138
139        * lib/: More translation updates.
140
141        * lib/el.po: Fix language code in file to be 'el'.
142
143        * lib/hu.po: Change '...' to ellipses.
144        * lib/hu.po: Add missing quotes.
145        * lib/hu.po: Use curly double quotes.
146        * lib/hu.po: Remove erroneous quotes from message.
147
148        * lib/ru.po: Merge more translation updates from "vsuhachev".
149
150        * lib/id.po: Merged translation updates from "Cave ID" - all messages
151          are now translated into Indonesian!
152
[2595419]153* doc/manual.sgml: Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
154
[dd65182]155        * doc/TODO.htm: Update.
156
[1646310]157Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
[a6064e2]158
159* MacOS X version:
160
161  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
162
[e067870]163  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
[9e053fc]164
[e067870]165  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
166
167  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
[9e053fc]168
169  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
170    currently do this for us.
171
[a6064e2]172  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
173
174  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
175
[9e053fc]176  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
177
178  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
179    OS X cursor.
180
[e067870]181  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
182    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
183    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
184    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
185    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
186    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
187    with TextEdit.app for example).
188
189  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
190    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
191
[a6064e2]192  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
193
[9e053fc]194  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
195    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
196
197  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
198    Riggs.
199
200  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
201    space.
202
[4baea3a]203  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
[9e053fc]204
205  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
206    10.10.1.
207
208  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
209    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
210    errors.
211
[4baea3a]212  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
213    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
214    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
215    wxWidgets build supports by default.
216
[e067870]217  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
218
[a6064e2]219* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
220  treat as a single leg.
221
[9e053fc]222* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
223
224* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
225
226* aven:
227
228  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
229    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
230
231  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
232    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
233    1:500).
234
235  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
236    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
237    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
238    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
239
240  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
241    there rather than the two animations fighting.
242
243  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
244    fast.
245
246  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
247    when rotating).
248
[1646310]249  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
250    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
251
252* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
253  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
254
255* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
256
257* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
258
259* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
260
261* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
[e067870]262
[a6064e2]263* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
264  we're using git.
265
[1646310]266* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
267
268  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
269    compass.
270
271  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
272
273  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
[a6064e2]274
[03d0e8b]275Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
[9aa10ad]276
277* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
278
[f480117d]279* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
280
[9aa10ad]281* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
282
283* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
284  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
285
286* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
287
288* tests/: Improve test coverage.
289
[7bd113b]290* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
291  Greek and Polish.
[9aa10ad]292
293* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
294  by Martin Sluka.
295
296* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
297  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
298
[44f51ca]299Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
300
301* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
302  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
303  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
304  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
305  for *cs has also been improved.
306
307* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
308  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
309  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
310  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
311
312* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
313  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
314  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
315  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
316  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
317
318* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
319  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
320  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
321
322* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
323
324* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
325
326* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
327  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
328  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
329
330* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
331  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
332
[6a87cce]333Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
[5c676e2]334
[1efeb6d]335* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
336  system in use in 3d v8 files.
337
338* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
339  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
[6a87cce]340  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
341  export dialog.
[1efeb6d]342
[ea59b58]343* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
344  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
345  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
346  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
347  rather than having one corner there.
348
[26e7fa4]349* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
350  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
351
[5c676e2]352* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
353  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
354
[515b83e]355* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
356  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
357  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
358
[5c676e2]359* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
360  such as 64-bit Linux.
361
[2c5ec88]362* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
363  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
364
[5c676e2]365* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
366  64-bit platforms.
367
[ea59b58]368* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
369  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
370  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
371
[2c5ec88]372* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
373  the space available in the aven UI.
374
[1efeb6d]375* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
376  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
377  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
[ea59b58]378
[515b83e]379* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
380  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
381
[6a87cce]382* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
383  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
384  about unconnected surveys.
385
386* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
387  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
388
[67a0fc6]389* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
390  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
391  freed memory.
392
[1efeb6d]393* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
394
395* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
396
[2c5ec88]397* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
398
[5c676e2]399* Fix a compiler warning.
400
401* Improve test coverage.
402
[0d365be]403Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
[acbb5b1]404
[8ccd1d8]405* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
406  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
407  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
408
[acbb5b1]409* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
410  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
411  Hugh St Lawrence.
412
[0d365be]413* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
[8ccd1d8]414  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
415  with using aven on a touch screen device.
416
[acbb5b1]417* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
418  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
419
420* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
421  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
422
423* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
424  off and back on.
425
426* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
427  up time a little.
428
429* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
430  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
431
432* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
433  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
434  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
435  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
436  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
437  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
438  situation too.
439
440* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
441  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
442  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
443
444* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
445
446* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
447
448* Minor translation updates to French.
449
450* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
451
452* Testsuite improvements:
453
454  + Test that "..." anon station works.
455
456  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
457    fail and give an error count.
458
459  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
460
[ad727d8]461Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
[46d12e9]462
[63e8642]463* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
464  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
465  Clipstone.
[46d12e9]466
[ad727d8]467* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
468
469* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
470
471  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
472    overlap the scale bar ticks.
473
474  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
475    clipping the border in print preview.
476
477  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
478
[63e8642]479* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
480  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
[46d12e9]481
[63e8642]482* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
483  available.
[46d12e9]484
[ad727d8]485* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
486
487* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
488
489* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
490  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
491
[63e8642]492* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
493  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
[46d12e9]494
[63e8642]495* Various translation updates.
[46d12e9]496
[aac3336]497Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
[fb941bfd]498
499* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
500  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
501
[aac3336]502* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
503  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
504  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
505  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
506
[ad3017d]507* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
508  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
509
[77bdacf]510* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
511  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
[ad3017d]512
513* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
514  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
515
516* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
517  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
518
519* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
520  box".
521
522* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
523
524* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
525  indicators.
526
527* aven: All length units are now translatable.
528
[fb941bfd]529* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
530  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
531  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
532
[ad3017d]533* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
534  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
535  measurably slower.
536
537* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
538  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
539
[77bdacf]540* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
541  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
542
[ad3017d]543* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
544  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
545  from Therion and elsewhere.
546
547* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
548  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
549  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
[fb941bfd]550
551* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
552  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
553
554* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
555  A. Riggs for his work on this.
556
557* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
558  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
559
560* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
561
[ad3017d]562* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
563  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
564  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
565  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
566  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
567  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
568
569* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
570
[0ecf3b1]571Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
572
573* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
574  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
575  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
576  Clipstone.
577
[53966d3]578* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
579  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
580
[6f0d0d8]581* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
582  exported SVG files.
583
584* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
585
586* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
587  file.
588
589* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
590  GPX files.
591
592* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
593
[0ecf3b1]594* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
595  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
596
597* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
598  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
599  on startup.
600
601* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
602
603* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
604  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
605  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
606  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
607  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
608  other extensions.
609
610* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
611  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
612  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
613  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
614  timezone wrong.
615
616* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
617
[6f0d0d8]618* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
619  'SURVEY DATE:'.
[0ecf3b1]620
[6f0d0d8]621* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
[0ecf3b1]622
[6f0d0d8]623* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
[0ecf3b1]624
[53966d3]625* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
626  enabled.
627
[6b6fb4d]628Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
629
630* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
631
632* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
633
634* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
635
636* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
637  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
638  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
639
640* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
641  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
642  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
643
644* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
645  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
646
647* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
648
649* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
650
651* Fix some compiler warnings.
652
[e1f27c4]653Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
[da65891]654
655* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
656  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
657  Holder.
658
[e1f27c4]659* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
[034141d]660  statistics when the value gets large.
661
[a4adf09]662* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
663  equations.
664
[e1f27c4]665* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
666  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
667  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
668  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
669  better when the "View" box is hidden.
670
[0056ee1]671* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
672  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
673
[e1f27c4]674* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
675  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
676  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
677  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
678  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
679  way is coming soon.
680
681* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
682  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
683
684* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
685  time ago, so update references.
686
687* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
688  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
689
690* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
691  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
692
693* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
694  Sebastian Ramacher.
695
696* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
697
698* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
699
700* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
701
702* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
703
704* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
705
706* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
707  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
708  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
709
710* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
711
712* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
[9fc1cac]713
[88b54df6]714* img library:
715
[e1f27c4]716  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
717    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
718    reading).
719
720  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
721    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
722
723  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
724    support these as an extension.
[88b54df6]725
[f807d8bf]726  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
727
[e1f27c4]728* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
729  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
730  itself has any translations for.
731
732* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
733
734* Minor translation updates.
735
736* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
737
[e34bebc]738Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
[65d9b6b]739
[e34bebc]740* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
741  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
742  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
743  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
744  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
745  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
746  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
747  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]748
[e34bebc]749* New version 8 of the 3d format:
[07beaa4]750
[e34bebc]751  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[07beaa4]752
[e34bebc]753  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
754    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
[da9d788]755
[e34bebc]756  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
757    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
[da9d788]758
[e34bebc]759  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
[da9d788]760
[e34bebc]761  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
762    human-readable string.
[da9d788]763
[e34bebc]764  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
765    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
[da9d788]766
[e34bebc]767* img library:
[da9d788]768
[e34bebc]769  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[da9d788]770
[e34bebc]771  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
772    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
[da9d788]773
[e34bebc]774  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
775    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
776    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
777    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
778    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
779    explicitly in the file.
[da9d788]780
[e34bebc]781  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
[da9d788]782
[e34bebc]783* aven:
[da9d788]784
[e34bebc]785  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
786    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
787    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
788    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
789    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
790    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
[da9d788]791
[e34bebc]792  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
793    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
794    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
795    queued up.
[da9d788]796
[e34bebc]797  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
798    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
799
800  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
801    them like other legs.
802
803  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
804    station names to positions.
805
806  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
807    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
808    wrongly.
809
810  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
811
812  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
813    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
814    that's used by the desktop).
815
816  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
[07beaa4]817
[e34bebc]818  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
819    error from cavern.
[07beaa4]820
[e34bebc]821  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
[da9d788]822
[e34bebc]823  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
824    in the dialog in sync.
[da9d788]825
[e34bebc]826* cavern:
[3dfffa2]827
[e34bebc]828  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
829    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
830    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
[3dfffa2]831
[e34bebc]832  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
833    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]834
[e34bebc]835  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
836    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
837    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
838    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
839    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
840    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
841    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
842    degrees.
[da9d788]843
[e34bebc]844  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
845    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
846    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
[da9d788]847
[e34bebc]848  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
[da9d788]849
[e34bebc]850  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
851    warnings.
[07beaa4]852
[e34bebc]853  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
854    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
[07beaa4]855
[e34bebc]856  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
857    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
[da9d788]858
[e34bebc]859  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
860    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
861    relevant.
[da9d788]862
[e34bebc]863  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
864    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
865    the same line.
[da9d788]866
[e34bebc]867  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
868    "End of line not blank" error.
[7f6250a]869
[e34bebc]870  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
871    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
[3dfffa2]872
[e34bebc]873  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
874    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
[07beaa4]875
[e34bebc]876  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
877    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
878    include that character in the token reported.
[3dfffa2]879
[e34bebc]880  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
881    first item.
[07beaa4]882
[e34bebc]883* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
[07beaa4]884
[e34bebc]885* dump3d:
[07beaa4]886
[e34bebc]887  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
888    info from 3d files in scripts.
[07beaa4]889
[e34bebc]890  + Add --show-dates option.
[07beaa4]891
[e34bebc]892  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
[07beaa4]893
[e34bebc]894  + Report the data style of legs.
[da9d788]895
[e34bebc]896  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
897
898  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
[3dfffa2]899
900* Test suite:
901
902  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
903    expected output so it passes reliably.
904
[e34bebc]905  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
906    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
907
[07beaa4]908  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
909    for more.
910
[e34bebc]911* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
912  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
913  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
[3dfffa2]914
915* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
916  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
917
918* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
919  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
920
[e34bebc]921* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
[665183c]922  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
[e34bebc]923  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
924  settings.
925
926* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
927  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
928  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
929  set correctly.
930
931* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
932  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
933  them to translate.
934
[07beaa4]935* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
936  close to complete.
[3dfffa2]937
938* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
939
[07beaa4]940* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
941
[e34bebc]942* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
943
[c575465]944Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
[b081031]945
946* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
947
948* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
949  package (ticket#35).
950
951* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
952  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
953  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
954
955* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
956  Kahler.
957
958* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
[c575465]959  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
960  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
961  libproj and build survex with:
962
963      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
964      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
[b081031]965
966* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
967
968* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
969
970* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
971  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
972  file".
973
[685116f]974Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
975
976* aven:
977
978  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
979
980  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
981    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
982
983  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
984
985  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
986
987  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
988    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
989
990* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
991  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
992  error early on).
993
994* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
995  the man page source as well as in the filename.
996
[f15ca67f]997Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
998
999* aven:
1000
1001  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
1002    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
1003    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
1004    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
1005
1006  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
1007    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
1008
1009  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
1010
1011  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
1012
1013  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
1014
1015* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
1016
[5b9942e]1017Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
1018
1019* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
1020
1021* (Mac OS X version):
1022
1023  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
1024
1025  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
1026
1027  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
1028    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
1029
1030  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
1031
1032* aven:
1033
1034  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
1035
1036  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
1037
1038    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
1039      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
1040      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
1041      character.
1042
1043    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
1044      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
1045      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
1046      and two in a few cases.
1047
1048    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
1049      8 pixels.
1050
1051  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
1052    draw crosses.
1053
[3ea0178]1054  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
1055    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
1056    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
1057    is the start or end of a tube.
1058
[5b9942e]1059  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
1060    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
1061
1062  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
1063    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
1064    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
1065
[3ea0178]1066* extend:
1067
1068  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
[5b9942e]1069
[3ea0178]1070  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
1071    which means "no info").
1072
1073* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
1074  was no longer used - it certainly is!
1075
1076* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
1077  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
1078  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
1079  current character set.
[5b9942e]1080
[3ea0178]1081* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
[5b9942e]1082
1083* Test suite:
1084
1085  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
1086
1087  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
1088
[94960ad]1089Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
1090
1091* aven:
1092
1093  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
1094    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
1095    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
1096    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
1097    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
1098    usable format.
1099
1100  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
1101    files.  (ticket#26)
1102
1103  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
1104    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
1105
[53f8a93]1106  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
1107    using lines.
1108
[94960ad]1109  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
1110    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
1111
1112  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
1113    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
1114    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
1115    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
1116
1117  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
1118    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
1119    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
1120
1121  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
1122    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
1123    in 1.2.1.
1124
[9704252]1125Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
[e3c58c3]1126
1127* Translation updates for US English.
1128
1129* aven:
1130
1131  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
1132    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
1133
1134  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
1135
1136  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
1137    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
1138    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
1139    visually similar to the survey legs.
1140
1141  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
1142    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
1143
[9704252]1144  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
1145    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
1146    does still provide some useful information).
1147
1148  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
1149    a depth band boundary.
[e3c58c3]1150
1151  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
[9704252]1152    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
1153    full-screen mode).
[e3c58c3]1154
1155  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
1156    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
1157    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
1158    are a little better, though still not perfect.
1159
1160  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
1161    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
1162
1163  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
1164    that station.
1165
1166  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
1167    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
1168
1169  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
1170    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
1171    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
[9704252]1172    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
1173    a case as it is a bug).
[e3c58c3]1174
[9704252]1175  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
1176    invalidated on window width or height changes.
[e3c58c3]1177
1178  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
1179    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
1180    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
1181    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
1182
[9704252]1183  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
1184    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
1185    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
1186    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
1187    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
1188    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
1189    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
[e3c58c3]1190
1191  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
1192    similarly for other compass points.
1193
1194  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
1195    info in the "About" dialog.
1196
1197  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
1198    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
1199
1200  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
1201    as well as still working with older versions.
1202
1203  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
1204    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
1205
1206  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
1207    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
1208    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
1209    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
1210    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
1211
1212  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
1213    nicer and make better use of the available space.
1214
1215  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
1216    dialog.
1217
1218  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
1219    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
1220
1221  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
1222    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
1223
[9704252]1224  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
1225
[e3c58c3]1226  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
1227
1228  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
1229    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
1230    being pressed and toggle full screen.
1231
1232* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
1233  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
1234
1235* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
1236
1237* More messages are now available to be translated.
1238
1239* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
1240  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
1241
1242* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
1243
1244* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
1245  sudo for installing on Unix.
1246
1247* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
1248  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
1249
1250* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
1251  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
1252
1253* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1254
[120c1c6]1255Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
[b4ac7007]1256
1257* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
1258  English.
1259
[9cfcb3f]1260* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
1261  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
1262  case.
1263
1264* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
1265  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
1266  these into Survex's .msg format.
1267
[b4ac7007]1268* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
1269  an actual command).
1270
[9cfcb3f]1271* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
1272  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
1273  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
1274  recurrence of that).
1275
[b4ac7007]1276* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
1277  than /usr/doc/survex.
1278
1279* aven:
1280
[120c1c6]1281  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
1282
[9cfcb3f]1283  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
1284    nicer at larger sizes.
1285
[b4ac7007]1286  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
1287    with GLX >= 1.3.
1288
1289  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
1290
1291  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
[4095cc0]1292    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
1293    required libraries set up for building releases.
[b4ac7007]1294
1295  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
1296
1297  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
1298
1299  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
1300    rendered with icons on some platforms.
1301
[9cfcb3f]1302  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
1303    ISO8859-1).
1304
1305  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
1306    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
1307
1308  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
1309    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
1310
[b4ac7007]1311* cavern:
1312
1313  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
1314    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
1315    fatal error!
1316
[9cfcb3f]1317  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
1318    format to output.  (ticket#21)
1319
1320* img library:
1321
1322  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
1323    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
1324
[b4ac7007]1325* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
[120c1c6]1326  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
[b4ac7007]1327
[8f9b0b6d]1328Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]1329
1330* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
1331  Portuguese, and US English.
1332
1333* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]1334  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]1335
1336* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
1337  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
1338
1339* img.c:
1340
1341  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
1342
1343  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
1344
1345* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
1346
[8f9b0b6d]1347* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
1348  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
1349  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
1350  translated.
1351
[f5e3521]1352Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]1353
1354* aven:
1355
1356  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
1357    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
1358
1359  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
1360    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
1361    addresses ticket#12.
1362
1363  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
1364    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
1365    consistent shape.
1366
1367  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
1368    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
1369    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
1370    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
1371
1372  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
1373    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
1374
1375  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
1376
1377  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
1378    more places.
1379
1380  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]1381    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
1382
1383* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
1384
1385* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
1386  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
1387
1388* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]1389
1390* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
1391  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
1392  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
1393  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
1394  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
1395  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
1396
1397* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
1398  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
1399  redirecting to it.
1400
1401* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
1402  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
1403  I/O).
1404
1405* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
1406  headers.
1407
1408* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
1409
1410* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
1411  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
1412
1413* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
1414
[f9473ab]1415Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
1416
1417* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
1418
1419* aven:
1420
1421  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
1422    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
1423    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
1424    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
1425
1426  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
1427
1428  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
1429    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
1430    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
1431    a number.
1432
1433  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
1434    log window.
1435
1436  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
1437    various cases.
1438
1439  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
1440    (ticket#9)
1441
1442  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
1443    namespace with its own "Point" class.
1444
1445  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
1446    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
1447
1448  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
1449
1450  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
1451    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
1452
1453* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
1454  give them before.
1455
1456* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
1457  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
1458  point looking for them now.
1459
1460* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
1461  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
1462  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
1463  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
1464
1465* manual:
1466
1467  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
1468
1469  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
1470    (change taken from 1.0).
1471
1472* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
1473
[0bd49eb]1474Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]1475
1476* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
1477
[739b92c]1478* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]1479
1480* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]1481
1482* aven:
1483
[90d0d71]1484  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
1485
1486  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
1487    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
1488    seem to be Unicode now).
1489
1490  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
1491    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
1492
[e4bfd2f]1493  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
1494    text on the survey pane:
1495
1496    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
1497
1498    - Character spacing is improved.
1499
1500    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]1501
1502  + "About" dialog:
1503
1504    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
1505      bug reporting.
1506
1507    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
1508      modern gfx card.
1509
1510    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
1511
1512  + Processing .svx files:
1513
1514    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]1515
[739b92c]1516    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
1517      than opening a separate frame for it.
1518
[90d0d71]1519    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
1520
1521    - Fix small memory leak.
1522
1523  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
1524    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
1525    such a name.
1526
1527  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
1528
[e4bfd2f]1529  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
1530    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
1531    invocations.
1532
[90d0d71]1533  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
1534
1535  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
1536
[739b92c]1537  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
1538
[90d0d71]1539* Documentation:
1540
[e4bfd2f]1541  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
1542
1543  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
1544    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
1545    together isn't very useful.
1546
[90d0d71]1547  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
1548
1549  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
1550    the FSF website.
1551
1552  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
1553    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
1554    the source code.
1555
1556* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
1557  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]1558
[e4bfd2f]1559* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
1560  package from the source tarball.
1561
[739b92c]1562* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
1563  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
1564
[2e12f8c]1565Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]1566
1567* aven:
1568
[3db0798]1569  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
1570
[5940815]1571  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
1572
[6b2113d]1573  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
1574    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
1575    names/crosses).
1576
[920b066]1577Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
1578
1579* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
1580
[99d8798]1581* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
1582
[920b066]1583* aven:
[78c67a6]1584
[920b066]1585  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]1586
[920b066]1587  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]1588
[920b066]1589  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
1590    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]1591
[920b066]1592  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
1593    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]1594
[920b066]1595  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]1596
[920b066]1597  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
1598    depth colouring.
[99d8798]1599
[920b066]1600  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]1601
[920b066]1602  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]1603
[920b066]1604  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]1605
[920b066]1606  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]1607
[920b066]1608  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]1609
[920b066]1610  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]1611
[920b066]1612  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]1613
[920b066]1614  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]1615
[920b066]1616  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
1617    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]1618
[920b066]1619  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]1620
[920b066]1621  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
1622    default.
[99d8798]1623
[920b066]1624* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
1625  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]1626
[920b066]1627* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
1628  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]1629
[920b066]1630* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]1631
[920b066]1632* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]1633
[920b066]1634Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]1635
1636* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
1637  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
1638  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
1639  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
1640  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
1641
1642* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
1643  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
1644  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]1645
[ac3f376]1646* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
1647  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
1648  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
1649
1650* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
1651  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
1652  allowed).
1653
1654* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
1655
1656* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1657
1658* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1659
[920b066]1660Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]1661
1662* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
1663  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
1664
1665* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
1666  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
1667  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
1668
1669* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
1670  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
1671  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
1672  the new "*data passage" style.
1673
1674* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
1675  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
1676
1677* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
1678  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
1679  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
1680  some cases.
1681
1682* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
1683  with no survey loaded.
1684
1685* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
1686
1687* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
1688  loaded a survey.
1689
1690* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
1691
1692* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
1693
1694* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
1695  doesn't exist.
1696
1697* Updated French and Italian translations.
1698
1699* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]1700  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
1701
[6a2594be]1702* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
1703  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
1704  update their copy).
1705
1706* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
1707  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
1708  trying to compile).
1709
[920b066]1710Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]1711
[c988ae4]1712* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
1713  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
1714
[9577fcc]1715* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
1716  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
1717  has been disabled.
1718
[ecf2d23]1719* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
1720  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
1721  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
1722  time.
1723
[d1628e8e]1724* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
1725  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
1726  highlighted stations.
1727
[e67ed1b]1728* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
1729
[3ddd351]1730* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
1731  the tilt from plan to elevation.
1732
[c988ae4]1733* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
1734  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
1735
1736* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
1737  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
1738  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
1739
1740* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
1741  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
1742
1743* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
1744
[84f1ed1]1745* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
1746
[a884696]1747* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
1748
[9fe7af4f]1749* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
1750  run by an unprivileged user.
1751
1752* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
1753  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
1754  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
1755
1756* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
1757  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
1758
[cd39f67]1759* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
1760
[afffec4]1761* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]1762  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]1763
[38a192d]1764* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
1765  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
1766
[5892e08]1767* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
1768  if it isn't.
1769
[879e9c3]1770* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
1771  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
1772
[c8f929b]1773* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
1774  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
1775
1776* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
1777  reset to default view as well).
1778
1779* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
1780  empty.
1781
1782* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
1783  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
1784
[9ad92cc]1785* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]1786  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
1787  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]1788
1789* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
1790  and non-zero width lines.
1791
1792* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
1793  was turned on.
1794
1795* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
1796  not always being fully written.
1797
[920b066]1798Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]1799
1800* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
1801  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
1802  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
1803  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]1804
[8add4c9]1805* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
1806  with MS Windows).
1807
[9f524ee]1808* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
1809  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
1810  several surveys in the same directory).
1811
[185d793]1812* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]1813  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]1814
[3515947]1815* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
1816
[1235f9b]1817* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
1818  moved off a station.
1819
[4299674]1820* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]1821  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]1822
[60dbe70]1823* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
1824
[125c9ea]1825* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
1826  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
1827
[ec58e3d3]1828* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
1829  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
1830  dialogs.
1831
[8add4c9]1832* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
1833  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
1834
[6662d02]1835* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
1836  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]1837  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]1838
[b65c13f]1839* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
1840  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
1841  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
1842
[17cce5f]1843* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
1844  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
1845
[affaeee]1846* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
1847
[618b01f]1848* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
1849
[920b066]1850Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]1851
1852* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
1853  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
1854
[b88b171]1855* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
1856  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
1857  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
1858  3d file.
1859
[7e01c87]1860* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
1861
1862* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
1863
1864* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
1865  Instead turn off depth colouring.
1866
[8ea82aa]1867* aven: Export as HPGL added.
1868
[887c26e]1869* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
1870  Martin Green).
1871
[7c29c976]1872* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
1873  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
1874  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
1875
[7e01c87]1876* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]1877
[7e01c87]1878* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
1879  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
1880
1881* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
1882  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
1883  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
1884  of everything else.
1885
1886* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
1887  presentation icons.
1888
1889* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
1890  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]1891
[b46bf92]1892* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
1893
[796d7bf]1894* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
1895
[7e01c87]1896* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
1897
1898* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
1899
[b88b171]1900* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
1901  language to use for messages.
1902
[7c29c976]1903* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
1904  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
1905
[8ea82aa]1906* Removed old printer drivers.
1907
[7e01c87]1908* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
1909  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]1910
[920b066]1911Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]1912
1913* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
1914
[4ba80e0]1915* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
1916
1917* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
1918  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
1919
[95ce35f]1920* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
1921  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]1922
[95ce35f]1923* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
1924
[cd78148]1925* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
1926  underground legs is toggled.
1927
[f5627353]1928* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
1929  attached to the previous data.
1930
[dfe4a520]1931* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
1932  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
1933  them.
1934
[920b066]1935Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]1936
1937* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
1938
1939* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
1940  continental European countries).
1941
1942* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
1943  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
1944  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
1945
1946* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
1947
1948* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
1949  they're needed.
1950
1951* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
1952
1953* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
1954
1955* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
1956
1957* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
1958  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
1959  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
1960
1961* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
1962
[920b066]1963Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]1964
1965* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
1966
1967* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
1968
1969* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
1970
1971* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
1972
1973* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
1974
1975* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
1976
1977* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
1978  when there's a presentation loaded.
1979
1980* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
1981  in cave view.
1982
1983* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
1984
1985* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
1986  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
1987  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
1988
1989* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
1990  filename for file history and window title.
1991
1992* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
1993  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
1994  only needed with GTK1.2.
1995
1996* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
1997
1998* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
1999
2000* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
2001
2002* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
2003
2004Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]2005
2006* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
2007  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
2008  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
2009
2010* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
2011  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
2012
2013* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
2014  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
2015  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
2016  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]2017
[0e558e5]2018* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]2019
2020* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
2021  with --help and --version.
2022
2023* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
2024  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]2025  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]2026  Fixed all these problems.
2027
2028* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
2029  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
2030  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
2031
2032* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]2033  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
2034  sources.
[8faa5d8]2035
[0e558e5]2036* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]2037
2038* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
2039
2040* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
2041  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
2042
2043* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
2044  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
2045  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
2046  animating.
2047
2048* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
2049
2050* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
2051
2052* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
2053  to this branch.
2054
2055* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
2056
2057  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
2058
2059  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
2060
2061  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
2062
2063* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]2064
[8faa5d8]2065* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
2066  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
2067
2068* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
2069
2070* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]2071  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]2072
2073* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
2074
2075* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
2076  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
2077  for anyone building from CVS).
2078
2079* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
2080
[4855072]2081* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]2082
2083* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
2084
2085* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
2086
[0e558e5]2087* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
2088  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]2089  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
2090
2091* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
2092  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
2093
2094* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
2095
2096* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]2097  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
2098  loaded).
[8faa5d8]2099
2100* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
2101
[920b066]2102Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]2103
2104* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]2105  startup.
[a7aa27d9]2106
2107* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
2108  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
2109
[920b066]2110Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]2111
[91e416e]2112* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
2113  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
2114  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]2115
[91e416e]2116* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
2117  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
2118  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]2119
[91e416e]2120* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
2121  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
2122  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]2123
[91e416e]2124* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]2125
[0580c6a]2126* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
2127  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
2128
[4261983]2129* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
2130  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
2131
2132* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
2133  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]2134
[f80077a]2135* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]2136
[6abab84]2137* aven: Perspective view.
2138
[91e416e]2139* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]2140
[91e416e]2141* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
2142  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]2143
[1690fa9]2144* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
2145  and load/save/run them.
2146
[0580c6a]2147* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
2148
[045e2af]2149* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
2150
[c60062d]2151* aven: Depth fogging option.
2152
[0580c6a]2153* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
2154
2155* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
2156
[f433fda]2157* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
2158  showing the surface legs.
2159
[0580c6a]2160* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
