[7bc4300]2
3Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-02-??):
4
[752a9f5]5* aven,survexport: Enable export of surface legs for KML and JSON.  Currently
6  surface and underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats
7  when both are enabled.
[7bc4300]8
[752a9f5]9* aven,survexport: Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
10
11* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros.
12
13* cavern:
14
15  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
16    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
17    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
18    mailing list.
[7bc4300]19
[752a9f5]20  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
21    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
22    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
23    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
24
25* aven: Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
26  Philip Balister.
[7bc4300]27
28* manual: Improve NATO mils example.
29
30* INSTALL: Clean up text re -dev packages
31
32* INSTALL: Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by
33  Andrew Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
34
[752a9f5]35* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
[7bc4300]36
[b1c66e1]37* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
38
[7bc4300]39* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
40
[752a9f5]41* img library:
42
43  + Improve Compass PLT support: Survey dates are now handled; LRUD data is now
44    translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END; We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE
45    for stations where the "Distance From Entrance" field is present and zero.
46
47  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
48    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
49    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
50    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
51    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
52    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
53    default).
54
[a30f7d0]55Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
[1a67f93]56
57* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
58
59* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
[a30f7d0]60  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
[1a67f93]61
62* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
63
64* Minor translation updates.
65
[269106c]66Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
67
68* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
69  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
70
71* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
72  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
73  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
74  checks that were rejecting this.
75
76  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
77  really do that's better than that.
78
79  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
80
81* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
82  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
83  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
84  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
85  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
86
87* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
88  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
89
90* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
91  bearing spin control.
92
93* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
94  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
95  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
96  currently but please report issues.
97
98* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
99  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
100  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
101  position".
102
103* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
104  Reported by echarlie
105
106* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
107
[fcf3d2e]108Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
[4c0900b]109
[4659b8a]110* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
[4c0900b]111
112* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
113  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
114
115* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
116  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
117
118* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
119  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
120
[4659b8a]121* Minor translation updates.
[4c0900b]122
[4659b8a]123* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
124  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
125  works on Wayland).
[4c0900b]126
127* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
128  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
129
[fcf3d2e]130* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
131
[4659b8a]132* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
133  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
134  Requested by Martin Budaj.
135
[a33237fd]136Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
[d2b22b1]137
138* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
139
140* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
141
[48d5a6f]142* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
143  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
144
[a33237fd]145* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
146  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
147  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
148  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
149
[48d5a6f]150* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
151  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
152  Patch from Thomas Holder.
153
154* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
155  string properly.
[d2b22b1]156
[a33237fd]157* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
158  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
159  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
160  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
161  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
162  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
163  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
164
165* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
166  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
167
168  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
169
[d2b22b1]170* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
171  where the included filename is actually specified.
172
173* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
174  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
175
[a33237fd]176* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
177  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
178  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
179
[48d5a6f]180* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
181  running on the Continuous Integration system.
182
[a33237fd]183* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
184  newer version of Innosetup.  Most notably, it now supports installing as a
[812a8d7]185  non-admin user.  This also means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the minimum
186  supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support anyway.
[a33237fd]187
188* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
189  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
190
[d2b22b1]191* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
192
[d8f00a9]193* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
194  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
195  inconvenience anyone.
196
[570b57d]197Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
198
199* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
200
201* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
202  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
203  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
204  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
205
206* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
207  in 1.4.0.
208
209* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
210
[67f9739]211Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
[3b69f29]212
213* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
[cccc545]214  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
215  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
216  Couwenberg.
[3b69f29]217
218  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
219  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
220  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
221  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
222
223  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
[e91c656]224  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
[3b69f29]225
226* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
227  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
228  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
229
230* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
231  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
232  strings is strongly discouraged.
233
234  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
235
236  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
237
[67f9739]238  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
239  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
[3b69f29]240
241* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
242  Green.
243
244* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
245  echarlie.
246
247* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
248  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
249  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
250
251* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
252
[67f9739]253* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
254
[3b69f29]255* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
256
257* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
258
259* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
260  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
261  stations not attached to a fixed point.
262
[738af38]263Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
264
265* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
266  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
267  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
268  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
269  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
270
271* aven:
272
273  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
274    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
275    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
276    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
277    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
278    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
279
280* testsuite:
281
282  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
283    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
284    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
285    process exits.
286
287* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
288
[38bc415]289Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
290
291* aven:
292
293  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
[f9de21a]294
295* cavern:
296
[66b477f]297  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
298
299  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
300    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
301    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
302
[f9de21a]303  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
304    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
305    until the next *data command with parameters.
306
307  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
308    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
309
310  * Improve test coverage.
311
312* survexport:
313
314  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
315    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
316
317  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
318    Batista.
319
320* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
321  Holder.
322
[66b477f]323* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
324  from Thomas Holder.
325
[f9de21a]326* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
327  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
328
329* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
330
331* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
332
333* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
334
335* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
336
337* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
338
[fe8a1b4]339Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
340
341* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
342  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
343  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
344
345* aven:
346
347  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
348    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
349    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
350
351  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
352    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
353    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
354    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
355
356  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
357    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
358    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
359
360  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
361
[040c02e]362Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
363
364* aven:
365
366  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
367
368  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
369    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
370    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
371
372  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
373    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
374    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
375    orientation.
376
377* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
378  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
379  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
380  Richard Knapp.
381
382* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
383  might still need to use them for.
384
385* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
386
387* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
388
389* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
390  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
391  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
392  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
393
394* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
395  is now the recommended approach.
396
[0957d63]397Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
398
399* aven:
400
401  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
402    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
403    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
404    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
405    Brian Clipstone.
406
407  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
408    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
409
[d034033]410Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
411
412* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
413  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
414  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
415
416* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
417  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
418  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
419  with some compilers.
420
421* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
422  installed.
423
[9fe70e44]424Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
425
426* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
427  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
428  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
429
430* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
431  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
432  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
433
434* aven:
435
436  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
437    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
438    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
439    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
440    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
441    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
442    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
443    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
444    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
445    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
446    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
447
448  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
449
450* Documentation:
451
452  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
453
454  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
455    placeholder.
456
457  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
458    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
459
460* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
461  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
462  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
463
464* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
465  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
466  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
467  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
468  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
469  location to avoid confusion.
470
471* Add a few more message translations.
472
473* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
474
[66b555d]475Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
476
477* cavern:
478
479  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
480    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
481    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
482    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
483    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
484
485  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
486    now reports "file not found" instead.
487
488  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
489    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
490    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
491
492* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
493
494* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
495  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
496  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
497  removed.
498
499* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
500  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
501  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
502  information.  Patch from James Begley.
503
[3147062]504Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
505
506* aven:
507
508  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
509    controllable.
510
511  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
512
513  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
514    Patch from Robert Jones.
515
516  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
517    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
518    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
519
[0482978]520  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
521    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
522
[3ed7da1]523* cavern:
[3147062]524
[3ed7da1]525  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
526    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
[3147062]527
[3ed7da1]528  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
529    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
530    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
531    go unnoticed.
[3147062]532
533* survexport:
534
535  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
536    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
537    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
538
539  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
540    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
541    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
542    Stephen Crabtree.
543
544* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
545
546* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
547  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
548
549* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
550  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
551  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
552  therion's team command.
553
[26ab0a7]554Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
555
556* aven:
557
558  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
559
560  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
561    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
562    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
563    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
564    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
565    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
566    for new entrances.
567
568  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
569    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
570    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
571    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
572
573  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
574
575  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
576    to show via the right-click menu.
577
578  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
579    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
580    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
581    child surveys of the parent.
582
583  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
584    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
585    survey.
586
587  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
588    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
589
590  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
591
592  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
593    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
594
595  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
596    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
597    filtering this matters more).
598
599* survexport:
600
601  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
602    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
603
604  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
605
606* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
607
608* Minor translation updates.
609
610* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
611
612* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
613
614* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
615
[facb636]616Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
617
618* aven:
619
620  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
621    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
622    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
623    on screen, printed and exported.
624
625  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
626    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
627    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
628    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
629    survey.
630
631  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
632    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
633    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
634    view.  Reported by Wookey.
635
636  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
637    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
638    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
639
640  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
641    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
642
643  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
644    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
645
646  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
647    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
648
649  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
650    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
651
652  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
653    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
654
655* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
656  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
657  tools could do, plus much more.
658
659* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
660
661* Minor updates to various other translations.
662
663* img library:
664
665  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
666
667  + Improve API documentation.
668
669* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
670  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
671  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
672
673* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
674  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
675  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
676  control what gets exported.
677
[5279c800]678Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
679
680* aven:
681
682  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
683    of 1.2.33.
684
685  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
686
[f057bc1]687Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
688
689* aven:
690
691  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
692    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
693    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
694    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
695
696  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
697    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
698    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
699    Erin Lynch.
700
701  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
702    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
703    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
704
705  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
706    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
707    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
708    unnecessarily.
709
710  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
711    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
712    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
713    for this control).
714
715  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
716    under GTK3.
717
718  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
719    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
720    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
721
722  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
723    current development version).
724
725  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
726    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
727    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
728
729* cavern:
730
731  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
732    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
733    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
734    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
735    "19".
736
737* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
738  Evaristo Quiroga.
739
740* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
741
742* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
743  milosch.
744
745* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
746  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
747  translated messages.
748
749* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
750  Indonesian and Polish.
751
752* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
753  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
754  Reported by Martin Sluka.
755
756* Fix a few compiler warnings.
757
758* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
759  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
760  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
761
762* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
763
764  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
765    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
766    but happens to fail if it isn't.
767
768  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
769
770  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
771
772  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
773
774* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
775  detected at run time on macOS.
776
777* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
778  by the homebrew formula.
779
780* buildmacosx.sh:
781
782  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
783    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
784
785  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
786
787* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
788  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
789
[66576b6]790Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
791
792* aven:
793
794  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
795    and Anthony Day.
796
797  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
798    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
799    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
800    Erin Lynch in #89.
801
802  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
803    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
804    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
805    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
806    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
807    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
808    elevations.
809
810  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
811    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
812    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
813
814  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
815    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
816    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
817    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
818    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
819    "on".
820
821  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
822    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
823
824  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
825    the display wouldn't update right away.
826
827* Manual:
828
829  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
830
831  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
832
833* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
834  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
835  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
836  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
837  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
838
[28695f1]839Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
[11c814b]840
841* aven:
842
843  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
844    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
845    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
846
847  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
848    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
849    before by others.
850
851  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
852
853  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
854    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
855    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
856    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
857    original change.
858
[28695f1]859  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
860    which extends beyond the end of the line).
[11c814b]861
862  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
863    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
864
865  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
866
[28695f1]867  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
[11c814b]868
[28695f1]869  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
870    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
871    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
872    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
873    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
874    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
875    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
[11c814b]876
877  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
878    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
879
[28695f1]880  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
881    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
882    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
883
884  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
885    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
886    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
887    much vertical range.
888
889  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
890    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
891    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
892    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
893    are drawn in this way.
894
895  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
896    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
897    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
898    centre should be a single pixel.
[11c814b]899
900* cavern:
901
[28695f1]902  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
903    entering passage data where there are side passages.
904
905  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
906    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
907
[11c814b]908  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
909    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
[28695f1]910    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
911    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
[11c814b]912
913  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
914    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
915    Reported by Erin Lynch.
916
917  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
918    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
919    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
920    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
921
922  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
923    other messages.
924
[28695f1]925* extend:
926
927  + Now runs a bit faster.
928
929  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
930    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
931    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
932    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
933    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
934    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
935    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
936    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
937    be handled better) most welcome.
938
939* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
940
941* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
942
943* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
944  translations from therion.
945
946* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
947  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
948
[11c814b]949* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
950  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
951  Footleg.
952
[28695f1]953* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
954
955* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
[11c814b]956
[56b37f3]957Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
958
959* aven:
960
961  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
962    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
963
964  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
965    Suggested by detrito.
966
967  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
968    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
969
970  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
971    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
972
973* Add man page for dump3d.
974
[d0418ac]975Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
976
977* aven:
978
979  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
980    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
981
982  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
[53c1e5d]983    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
[d0418ac]984
985* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
986  Lynch and "detrito".
987
988* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
989  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
990
[6897356]991Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
[0d8f67a]992
993* cavern:
994
995  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
996    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
997    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
998    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
999    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
1000
1001  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
1002
1003  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
1004
1005  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
1006    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
1007    degrees).
[99b3298]1008
1009* aven:
1010
1011  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
1012    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
1013    Day.
1014
1015  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
1016    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1017
1018  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
1019    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
1020
[0d8f67a]1021  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
1022    of the line in cavern log window.
1023
[99b3298]1024  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1025
1026  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1027
[6897356]1028  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
1029    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
1030    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
1031    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
1032    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
1033
[0d8f67a]1034  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
1035    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
1036    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
1037
[99b3298]1038  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
1039
1040  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
1041
1042  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
1043    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
1044    Atkinson and myself.
1045
1046  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
1047
1048  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
1049    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
1050    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
1051    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
1052    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
1053    survey.
1054
1055  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
1056    lines on my netbook.
1057
1058  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
1059    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
1060    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
1061
[6897356]1062  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
1063    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
1064    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
1065    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
1066    glitches.
1067
1068  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
1069    we currently list, though slower to write.
1070
1071  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
1072    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
1073
1074  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
1075    warnings when building against a recent version.
1076
[99b3298]1077  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
1078    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
1079    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
1080    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
1081
[f55cbeb]1082  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
1083    movie export.
1084
1085  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
1086    export.
1087
[99b3298]1088* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1089  James Begley.
1090
[0d8f67a]1091* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
1092  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
1093
[99b3298]1094* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
1095
[7333c2c]1096* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
1097  messages get used automatically.
1098
1099* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
1100  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
1101
[0d8f67a]1102* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
1103
1104* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
1105
1106* Use https for more URLs which support it.
1107
[690fdab]1108Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
[dfe8d05]1109
1110* aven:
1111
1112  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
1113    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
1114    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
1115    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
1116    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
1117    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
1118    probably change in the future).
1119
[690fdab]1120  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
1121    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
1122    the survey tree root.
[dfe8d05]1123
[690fdab]1124  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
1125    the view was recentred).
[dfe8d05]1126
1127  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
1128    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
1129    wrong direction).
1130
1131  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
1132    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
1133    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
1134
[690fdab]1135  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
1136    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
1137    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
1138    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
[dfe8d05]1139
1140  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
1141    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
1142
[690fdab]1143  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
1144    addresses #60.
1145
1146  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
1147
1148  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
1149    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
1150    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
1151
1152  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
1153
1154  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
1155    360 or down past 0.
1156
1157  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
1158    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
1159    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
1160    real-valued ones.
[dfe8d05]1161
1162  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
1163    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
1164
[690fdab]1165  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
1166    Lynch.
[dfe8d05]1167
[690fdab]1168  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
1169
1170  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
1171    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
1172
1173  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
1174    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
1175    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
1176
1177  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
1178    should now work.
[dfe8d05]1179
1180* cavern:
1181
1182  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
1183
1184  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
1185    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
1186    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
1187
1188  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
1189    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
1190    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
1191
1192  + Fix check for end of version number array in *required.   We would check up
1193    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
1194    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
1195    issue.
1196
1197  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
1198    by patch from Colin Watson.
1199
[690fdab]1200  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
1201
[dfe8d05]1202* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1203
1204* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
1205  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
1206
[690fdab]1207* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
1208  used in the same dataset.
1209
[dfe8d05]1210* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
1211  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
1212
1213* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
1214  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
1215  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
1216
1217* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
1218
[cd746b9]1219Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
1220
1221* aven:
1222
1223  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
1224    cavern again.
1225
[8ee50db]1226* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
1227  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
1228  location and use the same start menu folder.
1229
1230* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
1231  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
1232
1233* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
1234  by James Begley.
1235
[cd5cd8f]1236Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
[4e92bec]1237
[cd5cd8f]1238* aven:
[4e92bec]1239
[cd5cd8f]1240  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
1241    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
1242    to address.
[4e92bec]1243
[cd5cd8f]1244  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
1245    over the survey tree.
[4e92bec]1246
[cd5cd8f]1247  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
[4e92bec]1248
[cd5cd8f]1249  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
1250    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]1251
[cd5cd8f]1252  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
1253    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
1254    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
1255    encoded.
[4e92bec]1256
[cd5cd8f]1257  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
1258    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
1259    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
1260    terminals which do still support this.
[4e92bec]1261
[cd5cd8f]1262  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
1263    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
[4e92bec]1264
[cd5cd8f]1265* cavern:
[4e92bec]1266
[cd5cd8f]1267  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
1268    Edwards (see #78).
[4e92bec]1269
[cd5cd8f]1270  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
1271    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
1272    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
1273    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
[4e92bec]1274
[cd5cd8f]1275  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
1276    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
1277    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
[4e92bec]1278
[cd5cd8f]1279  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
1280    from Pete Smart (see #69).
[4e92bec]1281
[cd5cd8f]1282* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
1283  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
1284  Black.
[4e92bec]1285
[cd5cd8f]1286* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
[4e92bec]1287
[cd5cd8f]1288* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
1289  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
1290  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
1291  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
1292  Black.
[4e92bec]1293
[cd5cd8f]1294* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
1295  Black.
[4e92bec]1296
[cd5cd8f]1297* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
[4e92bec]1298
[cd5cd8f]1299* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
[4e92bec]1300
[cd5cd8f]1301* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]1302
[cd5cd8f]1303* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
[4e92bec]1304
[cd5cd8f]1305* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
[4e92bec]1306
[cd5cd8f]1307* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
1308  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
[4e92bec]1309
[cd5cd8f]1310* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
1311  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
1312  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
[4e92bec]1313
[cd5cd8f]1314* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
1315  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
1316  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
1317  privileges or not.
[4e92bec]1318
[52dad0e]1319Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
1320
1321* aven:
1322
1323  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
1324    Clipstone.
1325
1326  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
1327    Reported by Jenny Black.
1328
1329  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
1330    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
1331    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
1332
1333  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
1334    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
1335    messages.
1336
1337  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
1338    the terminal in 1.2.23.
1339
1340* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
1341  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
1342
1343* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
1344
1345* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
1346  by Wookey.
1347
[1ff33eb]1348Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
[1ed104f]1349
1350* aven:
1351
1352  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
1353    machines.
1354
1355  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
1356
1357  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
1358    already being processed.
1359
1360  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
1361    Reported by Martin Green.
1362
[d56a2d4]1363  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
1364
1365* cavern:
1366
1367  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
1368    find the original survey notes).
1369
1370  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
1371    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
1372    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
1373    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
1374    progress display to be useful.
[1ed104f]1375
1376* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
1377
[d56a2d4]1378* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
1379  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
1380
[1ed104f]1381* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
1382  running cavern.
1383
[53b6a5a]1384* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
1385  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
1386  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
1387
[7f7dbd5]1388Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
[d225571]1389
1390* aven:
1391
1392  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
1393    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
1394    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
1395    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
1396    finding this fix.
1397
1398* cavern:
1399
1400  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
1401
1402  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
1403    station.
1404
[7f7dbd5]1405  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
1406    *export.
1407
[2d865b7]1408Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
[31e9b72]1409
[03c259e]1410* aven:
1411
[2d865b7]1412  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
1413    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
1414    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
1415
[22f17f1]1416  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
1417
[03c259e]1418  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
1419    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
1420    does.
1421
[2d865b7]1422  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
1423    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
1424
1425  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
1426    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
1427
1428  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
1429    as appropriate.
1430
[03c259e]1431  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
1432    values on Windows.
1433
1434* cavern:
1435
[22f17f1]1436  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
1437    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
1438    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
1439
[2d865b7]1440  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
1441    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
1442
1443  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
1444    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
1445    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
[1687a13]1446    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
1447
1448  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
1449    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
1450    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
1451    Atkinson.
[2d865b7]1452
1453  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
1454    actual error rather than on a separate line.
[22f17f1]1455
[03c259e]1456  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
1457    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
1458    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
1459    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
1460
1461  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
1462    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
1463    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
1464
1465* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
1466  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
1467  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
1468  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
1469
1470* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
1471
[2d865b7]1472* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
1473  "*DECLINATION" command.
1474
[ab3b4a9]1475* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
1476  Reported by Jenny Black.
1477
1478* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
1479  documentation.
1480
[22f17f1]1481* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
1482  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
1483
1484* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
1485
[2d865b7]1486* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
1487
[7027ea1]1488Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
[0eaf4b1]1489
1490* aven:
1491
[6de8e942]1492  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
[31e9b72]1493    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
1494    the same or very similar by default.
[0eaf4b1]1495
1496  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
1497    Maynard.
1498
1499  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
1500
[7027ea1]1501  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
1502
1503  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
1504    away.
1505
1506  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
[6de8e942]1507
1508  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
1509    display it.
1510
1511* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
1512  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
1513  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
1514  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
1515
[0eaf4b1]1516* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
1517
1518* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
1519  before 1.2.19.
1520
1521* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
1522  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
1523
1524* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
1525
1526* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
1527  disk image.
1528
[6de8e942]1529* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
1530
[0eaf4b1]1531* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
1532  libav features we don't use.
1533
1534* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
1535  a load of libav features we don't use.
1536
1537* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
1538  message in the installer.
1539
[1dc99d1]1540Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
[f96ac93]1541
1542* aven:
1543
1544  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
1545    the exported file in 1.2.18.
1546
[2dac61e1]1547  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
1548
[4b67f71]1549  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
1550    exit full screen mode.
1551
1552  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
1553    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
1554    using since 1.2.7).
[2dac61e1]1555
[f96ac93]1556  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
1557    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
1558    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
1559    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
[2dac61e1]1560    St. Lawrence.
[f96ac93]1561
1562  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
1563    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
1564
1565  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
1566    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
1567    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
1568
1569  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
1570    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
1571    case like we do on other platforms.
1572
[739440f]1573  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
1574
[2dac61e1]1575  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
1576    support multi-monitor setups.
1577
[f96ac93]1578  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
1579    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
1580
[4b67f71]1581  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
1582    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
1583
[f96ac93]1584  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
1585    cases.
1586
[2dac61e1]1587  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
1588    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
1589    Erin Lynch)
1590
1591  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
1592    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
1593    items in in so it uses the full width.
[f96ac93]1594
1595  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
1596    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
1597    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
1598    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
1599    window.
1600
[2dac61e1]1601  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
1602    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
1603    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
1604    only relevant on the first ever run.
[f96ac93]1605
1606* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
1607
1608* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
1609  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
1610  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
1611  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
1612  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
1613  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
1614
[4b67f71]1615* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
1616  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
1617
[3f02aa4]1618Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
[2595419]1619
[4a8031f]1620* aven:
[a5670c7]1621
[4a8031f]1622  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
1623    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
1624    rendering it as a transparent surface.
[a5670c7]1625
[4a8031f]1626  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
1627    sanely want to perform from the menu.
[a5670c7]1628
[4a8031f]1629  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
1630    colouring options.
[a5670c7]1631
[4a8031f]1632  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
[a5670c7]1633
[4a8031f]1634  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
1635    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
1636    pressing "Escape".
[a5670c7]1637
[38e5701]1638  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
1639    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
1640
[4a8031f]1641  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
1642    exporting.
[a5670c7]1643
[38e5701]1644  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
1645
1646  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
1647    is quite likely to change.
1648
[4a8031f]1649  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
1650    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
[a5670c7]1651
[4a8031f]1652  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
1653    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
1654    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
1655
1656  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
1657
1658  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
1659    markers in orange.
1660
1661  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
1662    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
1663
1664  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
1665    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
1666    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
1667    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
1668    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
1669    them would be better.
1670
1671  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
1672    Gee.
1673
1674  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
1675    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
1676    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
1677
1678  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
1679
1680* cavern:
[0476b10]1681
[38e5701]1682  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
1683    susscorfa).
1684
[4a8031f]1685  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
[38e5701]1686    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
[4a8031f]1687
1688  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
1689
1690  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
1691    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
1692
1693  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
1694    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
1695
1696* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
1697
1698* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
1699  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
1700  in a modern desktop.
[a5670c7]1701
[dd65182]1702* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
1703  the filename in the error message.
1704
[4a8031f]1705* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
1706  most complete translations.
[dd65182]1707
[4a8031f]1708* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
[dd65182]1709
[4a8031f]1710* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
1711  lacks them.
[dd65182]1712
[4a8031f]1713* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
1714
1715* Manual:
1716
1717  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
1718    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
1719
1720  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
[dd65182]1721
[4a8031f]1722  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
[dd65182]1723
[4a8031f]1724  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
1725    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
1726    available for download.
1727
1728* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
1729  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
1730  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
[2595419]1731
[4a8031f]1732* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
[dd65182]1733
[3f02aa4]1734* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
1735
[1646310]1736Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
[a6064e2]1737
1738* MacOS X version:
1739
1740  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
1741
[e067870]1742  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
[9e053fc]1743
[e067870]1744  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
1745
1746  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
[9e053fc]1747
1748  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
1749    currently do this for us.
1750
[a6064e2]1751  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
1752
1753  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
1754
[9e053fc]1755  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
1756
1757  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
1758    OS X cursor.
1759
[e067870]1760  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
1761    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
1762    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
1763    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
1764    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
1765    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
1766    with TextEdit.app for example).
1767
1768  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
1769    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
1770
[a6064e2]1771  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
1772
[9e053fc]1773  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
1774    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
1775
1776  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
1777    Riggs.
1778
1779  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
1780    space.
1781
[4baea3a]1782  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
[9e053fc]1783
1784  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
1785    10.10.1.
1786
1787  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
1788    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
1789    errors.
1790
[4baea3a]1791  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
1792    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
1793    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
1794    wxWidgets build supports by default.
1795
[e067870]1796  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
1797
[a6064e2]1798* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
1799  treat as a single leg.
1800
[9e053fc]1801* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
1802
1803* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
1804
1805* aven:
1806
1807  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
1808    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
1809
1810  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
1811    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
1812    1:500).
1813
1814  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
1815    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
1816    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
1817    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
1818
1819  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
1820    there rather than the two animations fighting.
1821
1822  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
1823    fast.
1824
1825  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
1826    when rotating).
1827
[1646310]1828  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
1829    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
1830
1831* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
1832  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
1833
1834* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
1835
1836* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
1837
1838* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
1839
1840* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
[e067870]1841
[a6064e2]1842* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
1843  we're using git.
1844
[1646310]1845* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
1846
1847  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
1848    compass.
1849
1850  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
1851
1852  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
[a6064e2]1853
[03d0e8b]1854Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
[9aa10ad]1855
1856* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
1857
[f480117d]1858* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
1859
[9aa10ad]1860* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
1861
1862* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
1863  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
1864
1865* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
1866
1867* tests/: Improve test coverage.
1868
[7bd113b]1869* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
1870  Greek and Polish.
[9aa10ad]1871
1872* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
1873  by Martin Sluka.
1874
1875* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
1876  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1877
[44f51ca]1878Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
1879
1880* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
1881  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
1882  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
1883  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
1884  for *cs has also been improved.
1885
1886* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
1887  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
1888  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
1889  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
1890
1891* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
1892  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
1893  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
1894  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
1895  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
1896
1897* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
1898  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
1899  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
1900
1901* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
1902
1903* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
1904
1905* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
1906  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
1907  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
1908
1909* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
1910  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
1911
[6a87cce]1912Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
[5c676e2]1913
[1efeb6d]1914* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
1915  system in use in 3d v8 files.
1916
1917* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
1918  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
[6a87cce]1919  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
1920  export dialog.
[1efeb6d]1921
[ea59b58]1922* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
1923  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
1924  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
1925  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
1926  rather than having one corner there.
1927
[26e7fa4]1928* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
1929  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
1930
[5c676e2]1931* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
1932  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
1933
[515b83e]1934* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
1935  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
1936  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
1937
[5c676e2]1938* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
1939  such as 64-bit Linux.
1940
[2c5ec88]1941* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
1942  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
1943
[5c676e2]1944* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
1945  64-bit platforms.
1946
[ea59b58]1947* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
1948  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
1949  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
1950
[2c5ec88]1951* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
1952  the space available in the aven UI.
1953
[1efeb6d]1954* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
1955  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
1956  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
[ea59b58]1957
[515b83e]1958* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
1959  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
1960
[6a87cce]1961* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
1962  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
1963  about unconnected surveys.
1964
1965* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
1966  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
1967
[67a0fc6]1968* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
1969  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
1970  freed memory.
1971
[1efeb6d]1972* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
1973
1974* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
1975
[2c5ec88]1976* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
1977
[5c676e2]1978* Fix a compiler warning.
1979
1980* Improve test coverage.
1981
[0d365be]1982Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
[acbb5b1]1983
[8ccd1d8]1984* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
1985  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
1986  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
1987
[acbb5b1]1988* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
1989  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
1990  Hugh St Lawrence.
1991
[0d365be]1992* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
[8ccd1d8]1993  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
1994  with using aven on a touch screen device.
1995
[acbb5b1]1996* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
1997  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
1998
1999* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
2000  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
2001
2002* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
2003  off and back on.
2004
2005* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
2006  up time a little.
2007
2008* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
2009  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
2010
2011* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
2012  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
2013  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
2014  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
2015  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
2016  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
2017  situation too.
2018
2019* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
2020  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
2021  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
2022
2023* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
2024
2025* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
2026
2027* Minor translation updates to French.
2028
2029* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
2030
2031* Testsuite improvements:
2032
2033  + Test that "..." anon station works.
2034
2035  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
2036    fail and give an error count.
2037
2038  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
2039
[ad727d8]2040Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
[46d12e9]2041
[63e8642]2042* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
2043  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
2044  Clipstone.
[46d12e9]2045
[ad727d8]2046* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
2047
2048* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
2049
2050  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
2051    overlap the scale bar ticks.
2052
2053  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
2054    clipping the border in print preview.
2055
2056  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
2057
[63e8642]2058* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
2059  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
[46d12e9]2060
[63e8642]2061* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
2062  available.
[46d12e9]2063
[ad727d8]2064* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
2065
2066* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
2067
2068* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
2069  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
2070
[63e8642]2071* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
2072  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
[46d12e9]2073
[63e8642]2074* Various translation updates.
[46d12e9]2075
[aac3336]2076Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
[fb941bfd]2077
2078* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
2079  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
2080
[aac3336]2081* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
2082  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
2083  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
2084  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
2085
[ad3017d]2086* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
2087  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
2088
[77bdacf]2089* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
2090  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
[ad3017d]2091
2092* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
2093  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
2094
2095* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
2096  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2097
2098* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
2099  box".
2100
2101* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
2102
2103* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
2104  indicators.
2105
2106* aven: All length units are now translatable.
2107
[fb941bfd]2108* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
2109  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
2110  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
2111
[ad3017d]2112* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
2113  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
2114  measurably slower.
2115
2116* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
2117  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
2118
[77bdacf]2119* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
2120  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
2121
[ad3017d]2122* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
2123  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
2124  from Therion and elsewhere.
2125
2126* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
2127  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
2128  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
[fb941bfd]2129
2130* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
2131  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
2132
2133* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
2134  A. Riggs for his work on this.
2135
2136* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
2137  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
2138
2139* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
2140
[ad3017d]2141* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
2142  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
2143  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
2144  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
2145  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
2146  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2147
2148* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
2149
[0ecf3b1]2150Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
2151
2152* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
2153  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
2154  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
2155  Clipstone.
2156
[53966d3]2157* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
2158  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
2159
[6f0d0d8]2160* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
2161  exported SVG files.
2162
2163* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
2164
2165* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
2166  file.
2167
2168* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
2169  GPX files.
2170
2171* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
2172
[0ecf3b1]2173* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
2174  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
2175
2176* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
2177  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
2178  on startup.
2179
2180* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
2181
2182* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
2183  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
2184  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
2185  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
2186  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
2187  other extensions.
2188
2189* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
2190  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
2191  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
2192  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
2193  timezone wrong.
2194
2195* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
2196
[6f0d0d8]2197* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
2198  'SURVEY DATE:'.
[0ecf3b1]2199
[6f0d0d8]2200* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
[0ecf3b1]2201
[6f0d0d8]2202* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
[0ecf3b1]2203
[53966d3]2204* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
2205  enabled.
2206
[6b6fb4d]2207Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
2208
2209* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
2210
2211* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
2212
2213* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
2214
2215* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
2216  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
2217  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
2218
2219* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
2220  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
2221  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
2222
2223* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
2224  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
2225
2226* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
2227
2228* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
2229
2230* Fix some compiler warnings.
2231
[e1f27c4]2232Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
[da65891]2233
2234* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
2235  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
2236  Holder.
2237
[e1f27c4]2238* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
[034141d]2239  statistics when the value gets large.
2240
[a4adf09]2241* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
2242  equations.
2243
[e1f27c4]2244* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
2245  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
2246  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
2247  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
2248  better when the "View" box is hidden.
2249
[0056ee1]2250* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
2251  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
2252
[e1f27c4]2253* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
2254  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
2255  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
2256  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
2257  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
2258  way is coming soon.
2259
2260* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
2261  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
2262
2263* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
2264  time ago, so update references.
2265
2266* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
2267  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2268
2269* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
2270  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
2271
2272* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
2273  Sebastian Ramacher.
2274
2275* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
2276
2277* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
2278
2279* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
2280
2281* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
2282
2283* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
2284
2285* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
2286  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
2287  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
2288
2289* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
2290
2291* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
[9fc1cac]2292
[88b54df6]2293* img library:
2294
[e1f27c4]2295  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
2296    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
2297    reading).
2298
2299  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
2300    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
2301
2302  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
2303    support these as an extension.
[88b54df6]2304
[f807d8bf]2305  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
2306
[e1f27c4]2307* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
2308  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
2309  itself has any translations for.
2310
2311* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
2312
2313* Minor translation updates.
2314
2315* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
2316
[e34bebc]2317Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
[65d9b6b]2318
[e34bebc]2319* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
2320  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
2321  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
2322  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
[a5c74f2]2323  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
2324  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
[e34bebc]2325  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
2326  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]2327
[e34bebc]2328* New version 8 of the 3d format:
[07beaa4]2329
[e34bebc]2330  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[07beaa4]2331
[e34bebc]2332  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
2333    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
[da9d788]2334
[e34bebc]2335  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
2336    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
[da9d788]2337
[e34bebc]2338  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
[da9d788]2339
[e34bebc]2340  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
2341    human-readable string.
[da9d788]2342
[e34bebc]2343  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
2344    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
[da9d788]2345
[e34bebc]2346* img library:
[da9d788]2347
[e34bebc]2348  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[da9d788]2349
[e34bebc]2350  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
2351    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
[da9d788]2352
[e34bebc]2353  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
2354    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
2355    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
2356    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
2357    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
2358    explicitly in the file.
[da9d788]2359
[e34bebc]2360  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
[da9d788]2361
[e34bebc]2362* aven:
[da9d788]2363
[e34bebc]2364  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
2365    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
2366    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
2367    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
2368    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
2369    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
[da9d788]2370
[e34bebc]2371  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
2372    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
2373    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
2374    queued up.
[da9d788]2375
[e34bebc]2376  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
2377    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
2378
2379  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
2380    them like other legs.
2381
2382  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
2383    station names to positions.
2384
2385  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
2386    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
2387    wrongly.
2388
2389  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
2390
2391  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
2392    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
2393    that's used by the desktop).
2394
2395  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
[07beaa4]2396
[e34bebc]2397  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
2398    error from cavern.
[07beaa4]2399
[e34bebc]2400  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
[da9d788]2401
[e34bebc]2402  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
2403    in the dialog in sync.
[da9d788]2404
[e34bebc]2405* cavern:
[3dfffa2]2406
[e34bebc]2407  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
2408    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
2409    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
[3dfffa2]2410
[e34bebc]2411  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
2412    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]2413
[e34bebc]2414  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
2415    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
2416    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
2417    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
2418    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
2419    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
2420    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
2421    degrees.
[da9d788]2422
[e34bebc]2423  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
2424    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
2425    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
[da9d788]2426
[e34bebc]2427  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
[da9d788]2428
[e34bebc]2429  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
2430    warnings.
[07beaa4]2431
[e34bebc]2432  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
2433    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
[07beaa4]2434
[e34bebc]2435  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
2436    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
[da9d788]2437
[e34bebc]2438  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
2439    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
2440    relevant.
[da9d788]2441
[e34bebc]2442  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
2443    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
2444    the same line.
[da9d788]2445
[e34bebc]2446  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
2447    "End of line not blank" error.
[7f6250a]2448
[e34bebc]2449  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
2450    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
[3dfffa2]2451
[e34bebc]2452  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
2453    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
[07beaa4]2454
[e34bebc]2455  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
2456    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
2457    include that character in the token reported.
[3dfffa2]2458
[e34bebc]2459  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
2460    first item.
[07beaa4]2461
[e34bebc]2462* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
[07beaa4]2463
[e34bebc]2464* dump3d:
[07beaa4]2465
[e34bebc]2466  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
2467    info from 3d files in scripts.
[07beaa4]2468
[e34bebc]2469  + Add --show-dates option.
[07beaa4]2470
[e34bebc]2471  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
[07beaa4]2472
[e34bebc]2473  + Report the data style of legs.
[da9d788]2474
[e34bebc]2475  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
2476
2477  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
[3dfffa2]2478
2479* Test suite:
2480
2481  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
2482    expected output so it passes reliably.
2483
[e34bebc]2484  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
2485    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
2486
[07beaa4]2487  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
2488    for more.
2489
[e34bebc]2490* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
2491  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
2492  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
[3dfffa2]2493
2494* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
2495  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
2496
2497* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
2498  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
2499
[e34bebc]2500* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
[665183c]2501  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
[e34bebc]2502  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
2503  settings.
2504
2505* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
2506  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
2507  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
2508  set correctly.
2509
2510* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
2511  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
2512  them to translate.
2513
[07beaa4]2514* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
2515  close to complete.
[3dfffa2]2516
2517* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
2518
[07beaa4]2519* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
2520
[e34bebc]2521* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
2522
[c575465]2523Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
[b081031]2524
2525* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
2526
2527* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
2528  package (ticket#35).
2529
2530* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
2531  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
2532  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
2533
2534* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
2535  Kahler.
2536
2537* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
[c575465]2538  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
2539  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
2540  libproj and build survex with:
2541
2542      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
2543      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
[b081031]2544
2545* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
2546
2547* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
2548
2549* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
2550  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
2551  file".
2552
[685116f]2553Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
2554
2555* aven:
2556
2557  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
2558
2559  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
2560    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
2561
2562  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
2563
2564  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
2565
2566  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
2567    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
2568
2569* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
2570  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
2571  error early on).
2572
2573* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
2574  the man page source as well as in the filename.
2575
[f15ca67f]2576Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
2577
2578* aven:
2579
2580  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
2581    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
2582    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
2583    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
2584
2585  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
2586    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
2587
2588  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
2589
2590  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
2591
2592  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
2593
2594* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
2595
[5b9942e]2596Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
2597
2598* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
2599
2600* (Mac OS X version):
2601
2602  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
2603
2604  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
2605
2606  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
2607    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
2608
2609  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
2610
2611* aven:
2612
2613  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
2614
2615  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
2616
2617    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
2618      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
2619      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
2620      character.
2621
2622    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
2623      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
2624      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
2625      and two in a few cases.
2626
2627    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
2628      8 pixels.
2629
2630  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
2631    draw crosses.
2632
[3ea0178]2633  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
2634    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
2635    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
2636    is the start or end of a tube.
2637
[5b9942e]2638  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
2639    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
2640
2641  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
2642    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
2643    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
2644
[3ea0178]2645* extend:
2646
2647  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
[5b9942e]2648
[3ea0178]2649  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
2650    which means "no info").
2651
2652* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
2653  was no longer used - it certainly is!
2654
2655* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
2656  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
2657  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
2658  current character set.
[5b9942e]2659
[3ea0178]2660* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
[5b9942e]2661
2662* Test suite:
2663
2664  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
2665
2666  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
2667
[94960ad]2668Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
2669
2670* aven:
2671
2672  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
2673    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
2674    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
2675    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
2676    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
2677    usable format.
2678
2679  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
2680    files.  (ticket#26)
2681
2682  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
2683    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
2684
[53f8a93]2685  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
2686    using lines.
2687
[94960ad]2688  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
2689    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
2690
2691  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
2692    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
2693    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
2694    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
2695
2696  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
2697    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
2698    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
2699
2700  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
2701    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
2702    in 1.2.1.
2703
[9704252]2704Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
[e3c58c3]2705
2706* Translation updates for US English.
2707
2708* aven:
2709
2710  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
2711    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
2712
2713  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
2714
2715  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
2716    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
2717    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
2718    visually similar to the survey legs.
2719
2720  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
2721    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
2722
[9704252]2723  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
2724    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
2725    does still provide some useful information).
2726
2727  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
2728    a depth band boundary.
[e3c58c3]2729
2730  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
[9704252]2731    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
2732    full-screen mode).
[e3c58c3]2733
2734  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
2735    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
2736    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
2737    are a little better, though still not perfect.
2738
2739  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
2740    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
2741
2742  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
2743    that station.
2744
2745  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
2746    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
2747
2748  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
2749    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
2750    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
[9704252]2751    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
2752    a case as it is a bug).
[e3c58c3]2753
[9704252]2754  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
2755    invalidated on window width or height changes.
[e3c58c3]2756
2757  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
2758    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
2759    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
2760    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
2761
[9704252]2762  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
2763    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
2764    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
2765    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
2766    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
2767    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
2768    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
[e3c58c3]2769
2770  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
2771    similarly for other compass points.
2772
2773  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
2774    info in the "About" dialog.
2775
2776  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
2777    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
2778
2779  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
2780    as well as still working with older versions.
2781
2782  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
2783    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
2784
2785  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
2786    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
2787    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
2788    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
2789    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
2790
2791  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
2792    nicer and make better use of the available space.
2793
2794  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
2795    dialog.
2796
2797  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
2798    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
2799
2800  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
2801    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
2802
[9704252]2803  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
2804
[e3c58c3]2805  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
2806
2807  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
2808    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
2809    being pressed and toggle full screen.
2810
2811* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
2812  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
2813
2814* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
2815
2816* More messages are now available to be translated.
2817
2818* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
2819  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
2820
2821* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
2822
2823* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
2824  sudo for installing on Unix.
2825
2826* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
2827  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
2828
2829* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
2830  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
2831
2832* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2833
[120c1c6]2834Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
[b4ac7007]2835
2836* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
2837  English.
2838
[9cfcb3f]2839* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
2840  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
2841  case.
2842
2843* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
2844  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
2845  these into Survex's .msg format.
2846
[b4ac7007]2847* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
2848  an actual command).
2849
[9cfcb3f]2850* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
2851  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
2852  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
2853  recurrence of that).
2854
[b4ac7007]2855* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
2856  than /usr/doc/survex.
2857
2858* aven:
2859
[120c1c6]2860  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
2861
[9cfcb3f]2862  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
2863    nicer at larger sizes.
2864
[b4ac7007]2865  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
2866    with GLX >= 1.3.
2867
2868  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
2869
2870  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
[4095cc0]2871    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
2872    required libraries set up for building releases.
[b4ac7007]2873
2874  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
2875
2876  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
2877
2878  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
2879    rendered with icons on some platforms.
2880
[9cfcb3f]2881  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
2882    ISO8859-1).
2883
2884  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
2885    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
2886
2887  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
2888    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
2889
[b4ac7007]2890* cavern:
2891
2892  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
2893    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
2894    fatal error!
2895
[9cfcb3f]2896  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
2897    format to output.  (ticket#21)
2898
2899* img library:
2900
2901  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
2902    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
2903
[b4ac7007]2904* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
[120c1c6]2905  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
[b4ac7007]2906
[8f9b0b6d]2907Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]2908
2909* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
2910  Portuguese, and US English.
2911
2912* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]2913  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]2914
2915* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
2916  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
2917
2918* img.c:
2919
2920  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
2921
2922  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
2923
2924* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
2925
[8f9b0b6d]2926* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
2927  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
2928  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
2929  translated.
2930
[f5e3521]2931Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]2932
2933* aven:
2934
2935  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
2936    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
2937
2938  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
2939    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
2940    addresses ticket#12.
2941
2942  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
2943    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
2944    consistent shape.
2945
2946  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
2947    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
2948    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
2949    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
2950
2951  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
2952    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
2953
2954  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
2955
2956  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
2957    more places.
2958
2959  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]2960    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
2961
2962* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
2963
2964* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
2965  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
2966
2967* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]2968
2969* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
2970  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
2971  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
2972  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
2973  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
2974  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
2975
2976* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
2977  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
2978  redirecting to it.
2979
2980* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
2981  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
2982  I/O).
2983
2984* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
2985  headers.
2986
2987* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
2988
2989* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
2990  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
2991
2992* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
2993
[f9473ab]2994Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
2995
2996* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
2997
2998* aven:
2999
3000  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
3001    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
3002    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
3003    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
3004
3005  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
3006
3007  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
3008    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
3009    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
3010    a number.
3011
3012  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
3013    log window.
3014
3015  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
3016    various cases.
3017
3018  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
3019    (ticket#9)
3020
3021  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
3022    namespace with its own "Point" class.
3023
3024  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
3025    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
3026
3027  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
3028
3029  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
3030    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
3031
3032* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
3033  give them before.
3034
3035* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
3036  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
3037  point looking for them now.
3038
3039* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
3040  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
3041  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
3042  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
3043
3044* manual:
3045
3046  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
3047
3048  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
3049    (change taken from 1.0).
3050
3051* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
3052
[0bd49eb]3053Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]3054
3055* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
3056
[739b92c]3057* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]3058
3059* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]3060
3061* aven:
3062
[90d0d71]3063  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
3064
3065  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
3066    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
3067    seem to be Unicode now).
3068
3069  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
3070    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
3071
[e4bfd2f]3072  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
3073    text on the survey pane:
3074
3075    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
3076
3077    - Character spacing is improved.
3078
3079    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]3080
3081  + "About" dialog:
3082
3083    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
3084      bug reporting.
3085
3086    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
3087      modern gfx card.
3088
3089    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
3090
3091  + Processing .svx files:
3092
3093    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]3094
[739b92c]3095    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
3096      than opening a separate frame for it.
3097
[90d0d71]3098    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
3099
3100    - Fix small memory leak.
3101
3102  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
3103    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
3104    such a name.
3105
3106  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
3107
[e4bfd2f]3108  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
3109    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
3110    invocations.
3111
[90d0d71]3112  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
3113
3114  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
3115
[739b92c]3116  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
3117
[90d0d71]3118* Documentation:
3119
[e4bfd2f]3120  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
3121
3122  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
3123    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
3124    together isn't very useful.
3125
[90d0d71]3126  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
3127
3128  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
3129    the FSF website.
3130
3131  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
3132    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
3133    the source code.
3134
3135* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
3136  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]3137
[e4bfd2f]3138* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
3139  package from the source tarball.
3140
[739b92c]3141* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
3142  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
3143
[2e12f8c]3144Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]3145
3146* aven:
3147
[3db0798]3148  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
3149
[5940815]3150  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
3151
[6b2113d]3152  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
3153    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
3154    names/crosses).
3155
[920b066]3156Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
3157
3158* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
3159
[99d8798]3160* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
3161
[920b066]3162* aven:
[78c67a6]3163
[920b066]3164  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]3165
[920b066]3166  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]3167
[920b066]3168  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
3169    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]3170
[920b066]3171  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
3172    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]3173
[920b066]3174  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]3175
[920b066]3176  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
3177    depth colouring.
[99d8798]3178
[920b066]3179  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]3180
[920b066]3181  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]3182
[920b066]3183  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]3184
[920b066]3185  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]3186
[920b066]3187  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]3188
[920b066]3189  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]3190
[920b066]3191  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]3192
[920b066]3193  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]3194
[920b066]3195  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
3196    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]3197
[920b066]3198  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]3199
[920b066]3200  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
3201    default.
[99d8798]3202
[920b066]3203* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
3204  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]3205
[920b066]3206* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
3207  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]3208
[920b066]3209* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]3210
[920b066]3211* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]3212
[920b066]3213Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]3214
3215* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
3216  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
3217  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
3218  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
3219  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
3220
3221* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
3222  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
3223  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]3224
[ac3f376]3225* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
3226  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
3227  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
3228
3229* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
3230  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
3231  allowed).
3232
3233* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
3234
3235* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3236
3237* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3238
[920b066]3239Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]3240
3241* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
3242  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
3243
3244* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
3245  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
3246  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
3247
3248* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
3249  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
3250  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
3251  the new "*data passage" style.
3252
3253* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
3254  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
3255
3256* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
3257  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
3258  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
3259  some cases.
3260
3261* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
3262  with no survey loaded.
3263
3264* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
3265
3266* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
3267  loaded a survey.
3268
3269* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
3270
3271* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
3272
3273* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
3274  doesn't exist.
3275
3276* Updated French and Italian translations.
3277
3278* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]3279  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
3280
[6a2594be]3281* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
3282  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
3283  update their copy).
3284
3285* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
3286  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
3287  trying to compile).
3288
[920b066]3289Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]3290
[c988ae4]3291* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
3292  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
3293
[9577fcc]3294* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
3295  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
3296  has been disabled.
3297
[ecf2d23]3298* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
3299  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
3300  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
3301  time.
3302
[d1628e8e]3303* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
3304  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
3305  highlighted stations.
3306
[e67ed1b]3307* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
3308
[3ddd351]3309* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
3310  the tilt from plan to elevation.
3311
[c988ae4]3312* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
3313  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
3314
3315* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
3316  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
3317  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
3318
3319* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
3320  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
3321
3322* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
3323
[84f1ed1]3324* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
3325
[a884696]3326* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
3327
[9fe7af4f]3328* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
3329  run by an unprivileged user.
3330
3331* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
3332  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
3333  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
3334
3335* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
3336  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
3337
[cd39f67]3338* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
3339
[afffec4]3340* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]3341  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]3342
[38a192d]3343* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
3344  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
3345
[5892e08]3346* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
3347  if it isn't.
3348
[879e9c3]3349* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
3350  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
3351
[c8f929b]3352* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
3353  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
3354
3355* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
3356  reset to default view as well).
3357
3358* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
3359  empty.
3360
3361* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
3362  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
3363
[9ad92cc]3364* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]3365  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
3366  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]3367
3368* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
3369  and non-zero width lines.
3370
3371* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
3372  was turned on.
3373
3374* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
3375  not always being fully written.
3376
[920b066]3377Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]3378
3379* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
3380  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
3381  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
3382  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]3383
[8add4c9]3384* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
3385  with MS Windows).
3386
[9f524ee]3387* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
3388  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
3389  several surveys in the same directory).
3390
[185d793]3391* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]3392  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]3393
[3515947]3394* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
3395
[1235f9b]3396* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
3397  moved off a station.
3398
[4299674]3399* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]3400  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]3401
[60dbe70]3402* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
3403
[125c9ea]3404* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
3405  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
3406
[ec58e3d3]3407* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
3408  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
3409  dialogs.
3410
[8add4c9]3411* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
3412  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
3413
[6662d02]3414* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
3415  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]3416  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]3417
[b65c13f]3418* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
3419  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
3420  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
3421
[17cce5f]3422* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
3423  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
3424
[affaeee]3425* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
3426
[618b01f]3427* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
3428
[920b066]3429Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]3430
3431* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
3432  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
3433
[b88b171]3434* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
3435  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
3436  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
3437  3d file.
3438
[7e01c87]3439* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
3440
3441* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
3442
3443* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
3444  Instead turn off depth colouring.
3445
[8ea82aa]3446* aven: Export as HPGL added.
3447
[887c26e]3448* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
3449  Martin Green).
3450
[7c29c976]3451* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
3452  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
3453  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
3454
[7e01c87]3455* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]3456
[7e01c87]3457* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
3458  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
3459
3460* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
3461  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
3462  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
3463  of everything else.
3464
3465* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
3466  presentation icons.
3467
3468* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
3469  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]3470
[b46bf92]3471* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
3472
[796d7bf]3473* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
3474
[7e01c87]3475* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
3476
3477* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
3478
[b88b171]3479* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
3480  language to use for messages.
3481
[7c29c976]3482* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
3483  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
3484
[8ea82aa]3485* Removed old printer drivers.
3486
[7e01c87]3487* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
3488  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]3489
[920b066]3490Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]3491
3492* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
3493
[4ba80e0]3494* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
3495
3496* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
3497  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
3498
[95ce35f]3499* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
3500  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]3501
[95ce35f]3502* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
3503
[cd78148]3504* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
3505  underground legs is toggled.
3506
[f5627353]3507* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
3508  attached to the previous data.
3509
[dfe4a520]3510* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
3511  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
3512  them.
3513
[920b066]3514Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]3515
3516* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
3517
3518* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
3519  continental European countries).
3520
3521* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
3522  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
3523  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
3524
3525* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
3526
3527* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
3528  they're needed.
3529
3530* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
3531
3532* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
3533
3534* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
3535
3536* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
3537  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
3538  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
3539
3540* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
3541
[920b066]3542Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]3543
3544* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
3545
3546* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
3547
3548* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
3549
3550* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
3551
3552* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
3553
3554* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
3555
3556* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
3557  when there's a presentation loaded.
3558
3559* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
3560  in cave view.
3561
3562* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
3563
3564* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
3565  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
3566  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
3567
3568* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
3569  filename for file history and window title.
3570
3571* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
3572  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
3573  only needed with GTK1.2.
3574
3575* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
3576
3577* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
3578
3579* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
3580
3581* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
3582
3583Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]3584
3585* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
3586  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
3587  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
3588
3589* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
3590  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
3591
3592* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
3593  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
3594  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
3595  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]3596
[0e558e5]3597* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]3598
3599* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
3600  with --help and --version.
3601
3602* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
3603  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]3604  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]3605  Fixed all these problems.
3606
3607* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
3608  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
3609  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
3610
3611* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]3612  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
3613  sources.
[8faa5d8]3614
[0e558e5]3615* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]3616
3617* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
3618
3619* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
3620  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
3621
3622* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
3623  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
3624  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
3625  animating.
3626
3627* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
3628
3629* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
3630
3631* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
3632  to this branch.
3633
3634* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
3635
3636  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
3637
3638  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
3639
3640  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
3641
3642* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]3643
[8faa5d8]3644* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
3645  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
3646
3647* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
3648
3649* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]3650  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]3651
3652* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
3653
3654* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
3655  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
3656  for anyone building from CVS).
3657
3658* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
3659
[4855072]3660* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]3661
3662* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
3663
3664* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
3665
[0e558e5]3666* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
3667  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]3668  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
3669
3670* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
3671  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
3672
3673* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
3674
3675* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]3676  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
3677  loaded).
[8faa5d8]3678
3679* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
3680
[920b066]3681Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]3682
3683* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]3684  startup.
[a7aa27d9]3685
3686* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
3687  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
3688
[920b066]3689Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]3690
[91e416e]3691* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
3692  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
3693  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]3694
[91e416e]3695* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
3696  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
3697  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]3698
[91e416e]3699* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
3700  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
3701  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]3702
[91e416e]3703* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]3704
[0580c6a]3705* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
3706  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
3707
[4261983]3708* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
3709  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
3710
3711* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
3712  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]3713
[f80077a]3714* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]3715
[6abab84]3716* aven: Perspective view.
3717
[91e416e]3718* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]3719
[91e416e]3720* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
3721  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]3722
[1690fa9]3723* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
3724  and load/save/run them.
3725
[0580c6a]3726* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
3727
[045e2af]3728* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
3729
[c60062d]3730* aven: Depth fogging option.
3731
[0580c6a]3732* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
3733
3734* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
3735
[f433fda]3736* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
3737  showing the surface legs.
3738
[0580c6a]3739* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
