3Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-20):
4
5* aven:
6
7  + When printing, fix to use top margin rather than right margin when
8    calculating the page height.
9
10  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
11    Maynard.
12
13  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
14
15* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
16
17* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
18  before 1.2.19.
19
20* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
21  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
22
23* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
24
25* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
26  disk image.
27
28* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
29  libav features we don't use.
30
31* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
32  a load of libav features we don't use.
33
34* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
35  message in the installer.
36
[1dc99d1]37Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
[f96ac93]38
39* aven:
40
41  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
42    the exported file in 1.2.18.
43
[2dac61e1]44  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
45
[4b67f71]46  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
47    exit full screen mode.
48
49  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
50    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
51    using since 1.2.7).
[2dac61e1]52
[f96ac93]53  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
54    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
55    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
56    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
[2dac61e1]57    St. Lawrence.
[f96ac93]58
59  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
60    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
61
62  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
63    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
64    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
65
66  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
67    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
68    case like we do on other platforms.
69
[739440f]70  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
71
[2dac61e1]72  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
73    support multi-monitor setups.
74
[f96ac93]75  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
76    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
77
[4b67f71]78  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
79    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
80
[f96ac93]81  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
82    cases.
83
[2dac61e1]84  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
85    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
86    Erin Lynch)
87
88  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
89    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
90    items in in so it uses the full width.
[f96ac93]91
92  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
93    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
94    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
95    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
96    window.
97
[2dac61e1]98  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
99    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
100    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
101    only relevant on the first ever run.
[f96ac93]102
103* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
104
105* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
106  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
107  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
108  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
109  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
110  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
111
[4b67f71]112* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
113  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
114
[3f02aa4]115Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
[2595419]116
[4a8031f]117* aven:
[a5670c7]118
[4a8031f]119  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
120    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
121    rendering it as a transparent surface.
[a5670c7]122
[4a8031f]123  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
124    sanely want to perform from the menu.
[a5670c7]125
[4a8031f]126  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
127    colouring options.
[a5670c7]128
[4a8031f]129  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
[a5670c7]130
[4a8031f]131  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
132    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
133    pressing "Escape".
[a5670c7]134
[38e5701]135  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
136    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
137
[4a8031f]138  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
139    exporting.
[a5670c7]140
[38e5701]141  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
142
143  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
144    is quite likely to change.
145
[4a8031f]146  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
147    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
[a5670c7]148
[4a8031f]149  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
150    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
151    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
152
153  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
154
155  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
156    markers in orange.
157
158  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
159    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
160
161  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
162    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
163    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
164    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
165    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
166    them would be better.
167
168  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
169    Gee.
170
171  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
172    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
173    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
174
175  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
176
177* cavern:
[0476b10]178
[38e5701]179  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
180    susscorfa).
181
[4a8031f]182  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
[38e5701]183    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
[4a8031f]184
185  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
186
187  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
188    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
189
190  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
191    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
192
193* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
194
195* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
196  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
197  in a modern desktop.
[a5670c7]198
[dd65182]199* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
200  the filename in the error message.
201
[4a8031f]202* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
203  most complete translations.
[dd65182]204
[4a8031f]205* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
[dd65182]206
[4a8031f]207* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
208  lacks them.
[dd65182]209
[4a8031f]210* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
211
212* Manual:
213
214  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
215    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
216
217  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
[dd65182]218
[4a8031f]219  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
[dd65182]220
[4a8031f]221  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
222    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
223    available for download.
224
225* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
226  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
227  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
[2595419]228
[4a8031f]229* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
[dd65182]230
[3f02aa4]231* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
232
[1646310]233Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
[a6064e2]234
235* MacOS X version:
236
237  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
238
[e067870]239  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
[9e053fc]240
[e067870]241  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
242
243  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
[9e053fc]244
245  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
246    currently do this for us.
247
[a6064e2]248  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
249
250  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
251
[9e053fc]252  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
253
254  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
255    OS X cursor.
256
[e067870]257  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
258    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
259    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
260    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
261    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
262    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
263    with TextEdit.app for example).
264
265  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
266    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
267
[a6064e2]268  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
269
[9e053fc]270  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
271    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
272
273  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
274    Riggs.
275
276  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
277    space.
278
[4baea3a]279  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
[9e053fc]280
281  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
282    10.10.1.
283
284  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
285    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
286    errors.
287
[4baea3a]288  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
289    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
290    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
291    wxWidgets build supports by default.
292
[e067870]293  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
294
[a6064e2]295* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
296  treat as a single leg.
297
[9e053fc]298* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
299
300* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
301
302* aven:
303
304  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
305    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
306
307  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
308    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
309    1:500).
310
311  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
312    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
313    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
314    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
315
316  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
317    there rather than the two animations fighting.
318
319  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
320    fast.
321
322  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
323    when rotating).
324
[1646310]325  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
326    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
327
328* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
329  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
330
331* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
332
333* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
334
335* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
336
337* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
[e067870]338
[a6064e2]339* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
340  we're using git.
341
[1646310]342* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
343
344  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
345    compass.
346
347  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
348
349  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
[a6064e2]350
[03d0e8b]351Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
[9aa10ad]352
353* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
354
[f480117d]355* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
356
[9aa10ad]357* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
358
359* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
360  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
361
362* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
363
364* tests/: Improve test coverage.
365
[7bd113b]366* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
367  Greek and Polish.
[9aa10ad]368
369* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
370  by Martin Sluka.
371
372* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
373  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
374
[44f51ca]375Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
376
377* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
378  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
379  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
380  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
381  for *cs has also been improved.
382
383* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
384  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
385  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
386  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
387
388* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
389  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
390  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
391  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
392  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
393
394* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
395  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
396  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
397
398* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
399
400* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
401
402* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
403  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
404  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
405
406* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
407  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
408
[6a87cce]409Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
[5c676e2]410
[1efeb6d]411* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
412  system in use in 3d v8 files.
413
414* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
415  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
[6a87cce]416  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
417  export dialog.
[1efeb6d]418
[ea59b58]419* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
420  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
421  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
422  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
423  rather than having one corner there.
424
[26e7fa4]425* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
426  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
427
[5c676e2]428* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
429  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
430
[515b83e]431* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
432  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
433  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
434
[5c676e2]435* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
436  such as 64-bit Linux.
437
[2c5ec88]438* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
439  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
440
[5c676e2]441* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
442  64-bit platforms.
443
[ea59b58]444* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
445  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
446  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
447
[2c5ec88]448* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
449  the space available in the aven UI.
450
[1efeb6d]451* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
452  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
453  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
[ea59b58]454
[515b83e]455* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
456  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
457
[6a87cce]458* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
459  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
460  about unconnected surveys.
461
462* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
463  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
464
[67a0fc6]465* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
466  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
467  freed memory.
468
[1efeb6d]469* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
470
471* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
472
[2c5ec88]473* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
474
[5c676e2]475* Fix a compiler warning.
476
477* Improve test coverage.
478
[0d365be]479Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
[acbb5b1]480
[8ccd1d8]481* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
482  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
483  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
484
[acbb5b1]485* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
486  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
487  Hugh St Lawrence.
488
[0d365be]489* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
[8ccd1d8]490  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
491  with using aven on a touch screen device.
492
[acbb5b1]493* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
494  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
495
496* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
497  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
498
499* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
500  off and back on.
501
502* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
503  up time a little.
504
505* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
506  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
507
508* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
509  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
510  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
511  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
512  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
513  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
514  situation too.
515
516* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
517  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
518  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
519
520* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
521
522* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
523
524* Minor translation updates to French.
525
526* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
527
528* Testsuite improvements:
529
530  + Test that "..." anon station works.
531
532  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
533    fail and give an error count.
534
535  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
536
[ad727d8]537Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
[46d12e9]538
[63e8642]539* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
540  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
541  Clipstone.
[46d12e9]542
[ad727d8]543* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
544
545* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
546
547  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
548    overlap the scale bar ticks.
549
550  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
551    clipping the border in print preview.
552
553  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
554
[63e8642]555* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
556  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
[46d12e9]557
[63e8642]558* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
559  available.
[46d12e9]560
[ad727d8]561* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
562
563* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
564
565* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
566  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
567
[63e8642]568* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
569  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
[46d12e9]570
[63e8642]571* Various translation updates.
[46d12e9]572
[aac3336]573Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
[fb941bfd]574
575* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
576  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
577
[aac3336]578* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
579  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
580  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
581  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
582
[ad3017d]583* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
584  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
585
[77bdacf]586* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
587  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
[ad3017d]588
589* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
590  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
591
592* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
593  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
594
595* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
596  box".
597
598* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
599
600* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
601  indicators.
602
603* aven: All length units are now translatable.
604
[fb941bfd]605* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
606  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
607  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
608
[ad3017d]609* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
610  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
611  measurably slower.
612
613* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
614  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
615
[77bdacf]616* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
617  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
618
[ad3017d]619* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
620  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
621  from Therion and elsewhere.
622
623* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
624  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
625  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
[fb941bfd]626
627* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
628  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
629
630* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
631  A. Riggs for his work on this.
632
633* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
634  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
635
636* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
637
[ad3017d]638* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
639  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
640  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
641  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
642  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
643  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
644
645* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
646
[0ecf3b1]647Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
648
649* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
650  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
651  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
652  Clipstone.
653
[53966d3]654* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
655  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
656
[6f0d0d8]657* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
658  exported SVG files.
659
660* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
661
662* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
663  file.
664
665* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
666  GPX files.
667
668* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
669
[0ecf3b1]670* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
671  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
672
673* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
674  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
675  on startup.
676
677* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
678
679* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
680  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
681  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
682  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
683  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
684  other extensions.
685
686* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
687  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
688  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
689  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
690  timezone wrong.
691
692* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
693
[6f0d0d8]694* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
695  'SURVEY DATE:'.
[0ecf3b1]696
[6f0d0d8]697* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
[0ecf3b1]698
[6f0d0d8]699* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
[0ecf3b1]700
[53966d3]701* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
702  enabled.
703
[6b6fb4d]704Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
705
706* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
707
708* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
709
710* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
711
712* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
713  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
714  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
715
716* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
717  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
718  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
719
720* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
721  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
722
723* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
724
725* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
726
727* Fix some compiler warnings.
728
[e1f27c4]729Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
[da65891]730
731* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
732  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
733  Holder.
734
[e1f27c4]735* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
[034141d]736  statistics when the value gets large.
737
[a4adf09]738* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
739  equations.
740
[e1f27c4]741* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
742  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
743  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
744  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
745  better when the "View" box is hidden.
746
[0056ee1]747* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
748  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
749
[e1f27c4]750* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
751  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
752  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
753  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
754  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
755  way is coming soon.
756
757* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
758  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
759
760* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
761  time ago, so update references.
762
763* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
764  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
765
766* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
767  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
768
769* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
770  Sebastian Ramacher.
771
772* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
773
774* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
775
776* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
777
778* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
779
780* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
781
782* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
783  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
784  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
785
786* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
787
788* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
[9fc1cac]789
[88b54df6]790* img library:
791
[e1f27c4]792  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
793    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
794    reading).
795
796  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
797    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
798
799  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
800    support these as an extension.
[88b54df6]801
[f807d8bf]802  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
803
[e1f27c4]804* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
805  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
806  itself has any translations for.
807
808* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
809
810* Minor translation updates.
811
812* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
813
[e34bebc]814Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
[65d9b6b]815
[e34bebc]816* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
817  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
818  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
819  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
820  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
821  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
822  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
823  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]824
[e34bebc]825* New version 8 of the 3d format:
[07beaa4]826
[e34bebc]827  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[07beaa4]828
[e34bebc]829  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
830    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
[da9d788]831
[e34bebc]832  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
833    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
[da9d788]834
[e34bebc]835  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
[da9d788]836
[e34bebc]837  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
838    human-readable string.
[da9d788]839
[e34bebc]840  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
841    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
[da9d788]842
[e34bebc]843* img library:
[da9d788]844
[e34bebc]845  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[da9d788]846
[e34bebc]847  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
848    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
[da9d788]849
[e34bebc]850  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
851    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
852    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
853    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
854    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
855    explicitly in the file.
[da9d788]856
[e34bebc]857  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
[da9d788]858
[e34bebc]859* aven:
[da9d788]860
[e34bebc]861  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
862    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
863    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
864    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
865    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
866    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
[da9d788]867
[e34bebc]868  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
869    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
870    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
871    queued up.
[da9d788]872
[e34bebc]873  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
874    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
875
876  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
877    them like other legs.
878
879  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
880    station names to positions.
881
882  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
883    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
884    wrongly.
885
886  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
887
888  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
889    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
890    that's used by the desktop).
891
892  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
[07beaa4]893
[e34bebc]894  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
895    error from cavern.
[07beaa4]896
[e34bebc]897  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
[da9d788]898
[e34bebc]899  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
900    in the dialog in sync.
[da9d788]901
[e34bebc]902* cavern:
[3dfffa2]903
[e34bebc]904  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
905    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
906    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
[3dfffa2]907
[e34bebc]908  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
909    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]910
[e34bebc]911  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
912    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
913    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
914    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
915    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
916    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
917    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
918    degrees.
[da9d788]919
[e34bebc]920  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
921    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
922    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
[da9d788]923
[e34bebc]924  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
[da9d788]925
[e34bebc]926  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
927    warnings.
[07beaa4]928
[e34bebc]929  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
930    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
[07beaa4]931
[e34bebc]932  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
933    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
[da9d788]934
[e34bebc]935  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
936    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
937    relevant.
[da9d788]938
[e34bebc]939  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
940    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
941    the same line.
[da9d788]942
[e34bebc]943  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
944    "End of line not blank" error.
[7f6250a]945
[e34bebc]946  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
947    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
[3dfffa2]948
[e34bebc]949  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
950    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
[07beaa4]951
[e34bebc]952  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
953    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
954    include that character in the token reported.
[3dfffa2]955
[e34bebc]956  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
957    first item.
[07beaa4]958
[e34bebc]959* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
[07beaa4]960
[e34bebc]961* dump3d:
[07beaa4]962
[e34bebc]963  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
964    info from 3d files in scripts.
[07beaa4]965
[e34bebc]966  + Add --show-dates option.
[07beaa4]967
[e34bebc]968  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
[07beaa4]969
[e34bebc]970  + Report the data style of legs.
[da9d788]971
[e34bebc]972  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
973
974  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
[3dfffa2]975
976* Test suite:
977
978  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
979    expected output so it passes reliably.
980
[e34bebc]981  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
982    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
983
[07beaa4]984  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
985    for more.
986
[e34bebc]987* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
988  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
989  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
[3dfffa2]990
991* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
992  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
993
994* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
995  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
996
[e34bebc]997* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
[665183c]998  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
[e34bebc]999  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
1000  settings.
1001
1002* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
1003  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
1004  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
1005  set correctly.
1006
1007* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
1008  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
1009  them to translate.
1010
[07beaa4]1011* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
1012  close to complete.
[3dfffa2]1013
1014* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
1015
[07beaa4]1016* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
1017
[e34bebc]1018* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
1019
[c575465]1020Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
[b081031]1021
1022* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
1023
1024* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
1025  package (ticket#35).
1026
1027* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
1028  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
1029  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
1030
1031* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
1032  Kahler.
1033
1034* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
[c575465]1035  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
1036  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
1037  libproj and build survex with:
1038
1039      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1040      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
[b081031]1041
1042* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
1043
1044* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
1045
1046* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
1047  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
1048  file".
1049
[685116f]1050Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
1051
1052* aven:
1053
1054  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
1055
1056  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
1057    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
1058
1059  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
1060
1061  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
1062
1063  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
1064    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
1065
1066* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
1067  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
1068  error early on).
1069
1070* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
1071  the man page source as well as in the filename.
1072
[f15ca67f]1073Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
1074
1075* aven:
1076
1077  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
1078    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
1079    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
1080    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
1081
1082  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
1083    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
1084
1085  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
1086
1087  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
1088
1089  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
1090
1091* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
1092
[5b9942e]1093Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
1094
1095* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
1096
1097* (Mac OS X version):
1098
1099  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
1100
1101  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
1102
1103  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
1104    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
1105
1106  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
1107
1108* aven:
1109
1110  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
1111
1112  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
1113
1114    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
1115      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
1116      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
1117      character.
1118
1119    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
1120      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
1121      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
1122      and two in a few cases.
1123
1124    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
1125      8 pixels.
1126
1127  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
1128    draw crosses.
1129
[3ea0178]1130  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
1131    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
1132    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
1133    is the start or end of a tube.
1134
[5b9942e]1135  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
1136    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
1137
1138  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
1139    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
1140    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
1141
[3ea0178]1142* extend:
1143
1144  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
[5b9942e]1145
[3ea0178]1146  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
1147    which means "no info").
1148
1149* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
1150  was no longer used - it certainly is!
1151
1152* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
1153  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
1154  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
1155  current character set.
[5b9942e]1156
[3ea0178]1157* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
[5b9942e]1158
1159* Test suite:
1160
1161  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
1162
1163  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
1164
[94960ad]1165Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
1166
1167* aven:
1168
1169  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
1170    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
1171    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
1172    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
1173    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
1174    usable format.
1175
1176  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
1177    files.  (ticket#26)
1178
1179  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
1180    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
1181
[53f8a93]1182  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
1183    using lines.
1184
[94960ad]1185  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
1186    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
1187
1188  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
1189    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
1190    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
1191    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
1192
1193  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
1194    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
1195    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
1196
1197  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
1198    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
1199    in 1.2.1.
1200
[9704252]1201Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
[e3c58c3]1202
1203* Translation updates for US English.
1204
1205* aven:
1206
1207  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
1208    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
1209
1210  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
1211
1212  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
1213    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
1214    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
1215    visually similar to the survey legs.
1216
1217  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
1218    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
1219
[9704252]1220  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
1221    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
1222    does still provide some useful information).
1223
1224  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
1225    a depth band boundary.
[e3c58c3]1226
1227  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
[9704252]1228    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
1229    full-screen mode).
[e3c58c3]1230
1231  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
1232    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
1233    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
1234    are a little better, though still not perfect.
1235
1236  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
1237    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
1238
1239  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
1240    that station.
1241
1242  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
1243    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
1244
1245  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
1246    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
1247    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
[9704252]1248    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
1249    a case as it is a bug).
[e3c58c3]1250
[9704252]1251  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
1252    invalidated on window width or height changes.
[e3c58c3]1253
1254  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
1255    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
1256    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
1257    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
1258
[9704252]1259  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
1260    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
1261    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
1262    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
1263    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
1264    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
1265    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
[e3c58c3]1266
1267  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
1268    similarly for other compass points.
1269
1270  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
1271    info in the "About" dialog.
1272
1273  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
1274    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
1275
1276  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
1277    as well as still working with older versions.
1278
1279  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
1280    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
1281
1282  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
1283    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
1284    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
1285    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
1286    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
1287
1288  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
1289    nicer and make better use of the available space.
1290
1291  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
1292    dialog.
1293
1294  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
1295    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
1296
1297  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
1298    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
1299
[9704252]1300  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
1301
[e3c58c3]1302  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
1303
1304  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
1305    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
1306    being pressed and toggle full screen.
1307
1308* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
1309  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
1310
1311* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
1312
1313* More messages are now available to be translated.
1314
1315* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
1316  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
1317
1318* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
1319
1320* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
1321  sudo for installing on Unix.
1322
1323* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
1324  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
1325
1326* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
1327  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
1328
1329* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1330
[120c1c6]1331Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
[b4ac7007]1332
1333* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
1334  English.
1335
[9cfcb3f]1336* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
1337  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
1338  case.
1339
1340* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
1341  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
1342  these into Survex's .msg format.
1343
[b4ac7007]1344* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
1345  an actual command).
1346
[9cfcb3f]1347* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
1348  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
1349  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
1350  recurrence of that).
1351
[b4ac7007]1352* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
1353  than /usr/doc/survex.
1354
1355* aven:
1356
[120c1c6]1357  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
1358
[9cfcb3f]1359  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
1360    nicer at larger sizes.
1361
[b4ac7007]1362  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
1363    with GLX >= 1.3.
1364
1365  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
1366
1367  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
[4095cc0]1368    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
1369    required libraries set up for building releases.
[b4ac7007]1370
1371  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
1372
1373  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
1374
1375  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
1376    rendered with icons on some platforms.
1377
[9cfcb3f]1378  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
1379    ISO8859-1).
1380
1381  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
1382    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
1383
1384  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
1385    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
1386
[b4ac7007]1387* cavern:
1388
1389  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
1390    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
1391    fatal error!
1392
[9cfcb3f]1393  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
1394    format to output.  (ticket#21)
1395
1396* img library:
1397
1398  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
1399    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
1400
[b4ac7007]1401* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
[120c1c6]1402  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
[b4ac7007]1403
[8f9b0b6d]1404Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]1405
1406* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
1407  Portuguese, and US English.
1408
1409* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]1410  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]1411
1412* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
1413  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
1414
1415* img.c:
1416
1417  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
1418
1419  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
1420
1421* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
1422
[8f9b0b6d]1423* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
1424  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
1425  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
1426  translated.
1427
[f5e3521]1428Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]1429
1430* aven:
1431
1432  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
1433    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
1434
1435  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
1436    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
1437    addresses ticket#12.
1438
1439  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
1440    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
1441    consistent shape.
1442
1443  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
1444    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
1445    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
1446    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
1447
1448  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
1449    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
1450
1451  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
1452
1453  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
1454    more places.
1455
1456  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]1457    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
1458
1459* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
1460
1461* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
1462  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
1463
1464* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]1465
1466* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
1467  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
1468  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
1469  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
1470  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
1471  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
1472
1473* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
1474  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
1475  redirecting to it.
1476
1477* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
1478  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
1479  I/O).
1480
1481* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
1482  headers.
1483
1484* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
1485
1486* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
1487  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
1488
1489* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
1490
[f9473ab]1491Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
1492
1493* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
1494
1495* aven:
1496
1497  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
1498    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
1499    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
1500    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
1501
1502  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
1503
1504  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
1505    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
1506    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
1507    a number.
1508
1509  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
1510    log window.
1511
1512  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
1513    various cases.
1514
1515  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
1516    (ticket#9)
1517
1518  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
1519    namespace with its own "Point" class.
1520
1521  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
1522    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
1523
1524  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
1525
1526  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
1527    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
1528
1529* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
1530  give them before.
1531
1532* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
1533  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
1534  point looking for them now.
1535
1536* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
1537  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
1538  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
1539  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
1540
1541* manual:
1542
1543  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
1544
1545  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
1546    (change taken from 1.0).
1547
1548* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
1549
[0bd49eb]1550Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]1551
1552* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
1553
[739b92c]1554* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]1555
1556* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]1557
1558* aven:
1559
[90d0d71]1560  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
1561
1562  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
1563    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
1564    seem to be Unicode now).
1565
1566  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
1567    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
1568
[e4bfd2f]1569  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
1570    text on the survey pane:
1571
1572    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
1573
1574    - Character spacing is improved.
1575
1576    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]1577
1578  + "About" dialog:
1579
1580    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
1581      bug reporting.
1582
1583    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
1584      modern gfx card.
1585
1586    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
1587
1588  + Processing .svx files:
1589
1590    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]1591
[739b92c]1592    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
1593      than opening a separate frame for it.
1594
[90d0d71]1595    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
1596
1597    - Fix small memory leak.
1598
1599  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
1600    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
1601    such a name.
1602
1603  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
1604
[e4bfd2f]1605  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
1606    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
1607    invocations.
1608
[90d0d71]1609  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
1610
1611  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
1612
[739b92c]1613  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
1614
[90d0d71]1615* Documentation:
1616
[e4bfd2f]1617  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
1618
1619  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
1620    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
1621    together isn't very useful.
1622
[90d0d71]1623  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
1624
1625  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
1626    the FSF website.
1627
1628  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
1629    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
1630    the source code.
1631
1632* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
1633  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]1634
[e4bfd2f]1635* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
1636  package from the source tarball.
1637
[739b92c]1638* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
1639  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
1640
[2e12f8c]1641Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]1642
1643* aven:
1644
[3db0798]1645  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
1646
[5940815]1647  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
1648
[6b2113d]1649  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
1650    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
1651    names/crosses).
1652
[920b066]1653Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
1654
1655* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
1656
[99d8798]1657* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
1658
[920b066]1659* aven:
[78c67a6]1660
[920b066]1661  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]1662
[920b066]1663  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]1664
[920b066]1665  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
1666    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]1667
[920b066]1668  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
1669    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]1670
[920b066]1671  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]1672
[920b066]1673  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
1674    depth colouring.
[99d8798]1675
[920b066]1676  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]1677
[920b066]1678  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]1679
[920b066]1680  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]1681
[920b066]1682  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]1683
[920b066]1684  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]1685
[920b066]1686  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]1687
[920b066]1688  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]1689
[920b066]1690  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]1691
[920b066]1692  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
1693    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]1694
[920b066]1695  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]1696
[920b066]1697  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
1698    default.
[99d8798]1699
[920b066]1700* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
1701  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]1702
[920b066]1703* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
1704  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]1705
[920b066]1706* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]1707
[920b066]1708* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]1709
[920b066]1710Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]1711
1712* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
1713  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
1714  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
1715  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
1716  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
1717
1718* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
1719  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
1720  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]1721
[ac3f376]1722* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
1723  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
1724  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
1725
1726* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
1727  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
1728  allowed).
1729
1730* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
1731
1732* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1733
1734* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1735
[920b066]1736Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]1737
1738* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
1739  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
1740
1741* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
1742  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
1743  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
1744
1745* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
1746  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
1747  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
1748  the new "*data passage" style.
1749
1750* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
1751  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
1752
1753* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
1754  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
1755  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
1756  some cases.
1757
1758* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
1759  with no survey loaded.
1760
1761* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
1762
1763* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
1764  loaded a survey.
1765
1766* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
1767
1768* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
1769
1770* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
1771  doesn't exist.
1772
1773* Updated French and Italian translations.
1774
1775* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]1776  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
1777
[6a2594be]1778* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
1779  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
1780  update their copy).
1781
1782* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
1783  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
1784  trying to compile).
1785
[920b066]1786Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]1787
[c988ae4]1788* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
1789  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
1790
[9577fcc]1791* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
1792  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
1793  has been disabled.
1794
[ecf2d23]1795* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
1796  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
1797  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
1798  time.
1799
[d1628e8e]1800* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
1801  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
1802  highlighted stations.
1803
[e67ed1b]1804* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
1805
[3ddd351]1806* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
1807  the tilt from plan to elevation.
1808
[c988ae4]1809* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
1810  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
1811
1812* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
1813  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
1814  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
1815
1816* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
1817  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
1818
1819* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
1820
[84f1ed1]1821* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
1822
[a884696]1823* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
1824
[9fe7af4f]1825* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
1826  run by an unprivileged user.
1827
1828* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
1829  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
1830  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
1831
1832* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
1833  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
1834
[cd39f67]1835* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
1836
[afffec4]1837* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]1838  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]1839
[38a192d]1840* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
1841  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
1842
[5892e08]1843* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
1844  if it isn't.
1845
[879e9c3]1846* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
1847  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
1848
[c8f929b]1849* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
1850  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
1851
1852* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
1853  reset to default view as well).
1854
1855* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
1856  empty.
1857
1858* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
1859  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
1860
[9ad92cc]1861* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]1862  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
1863  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]1864
1865* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
1866  and non-zero width lines.
1867
1868* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
1869  was turned on.
1870
1871* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
1872  not always being fully written.
1873
[920b066]1874Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]1875
1876* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
1877  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
1878  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
1879  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]1880
[8add4c9]1881* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
1882  with MS Windows).
1883
[9f524ee]1884* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
1885  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
1886  several surveys in the same directory).
1887
[185d793]1888* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]1889  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]1890
[3515947]1891* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
1892
[1235f9b]1893* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
1894  moved off a station.
1895
[4299674]1896* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]1897  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]1898
[60dbe70]1899* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
1900
[125c9ea]1901* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
1902  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
1903
[ec58e3d3]1904* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
1905  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
1906  dialogs.
1907
[8add4c9]1908* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
1909  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
1910
[6662d02]1911* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
1912  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]1913  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]1914
[b65c13f]1915* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
1916  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
1917  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
1918
[17cce5f]1919* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
1920  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
1921
[affaeee]1922* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
1923
[618b01f]1924* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
1925
[920b066]1926Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]1927
1928* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
1929  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
1930
[b88b171]1931* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
1932  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
1933  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
1934  3d file.
1935
[7e01c87]1936* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
1937
1938* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
1939
1940* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
1941  Instead turn off depth colouring.
1942
[8ea82aa]1943* aven: Export as HPGL added.
1944
[887c26e]1945* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
1946  Martin Green).
1947
[7c29c976]1948* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
1949  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
1950  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
1951
[7e01c87]1952* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]1953
[7e01c87]1954* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
1955  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
1956
1957* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
1958  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
1959  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
1960  of everything else.
1961
1962* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
1963  presentation icons.
1964
1965* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
1966  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]1967
[b46bf92]1968* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
1969
[796d7bf]1970* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
1971
[7e01c87]1972* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
1973
1974* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
1975
[b88b171]1976* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
1977  language to use for messages.
1978
[7c29c976]1979* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
1980  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
1981
[8ea82aa]1982* Removed old printer drivers.
1983
[7e01c87]1984* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
1985  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]1986
[920b066]1987Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]1988
1989* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
1990
[4ba80e0]1991* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
1992
1993* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
1994  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
1995
[95ce35f]1996* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
1997  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]1998
[95ce35f]1999* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
2000
[cd78148]2001* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
2002  underground legs is toggled.
2003
[f5627353]2004* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
2005  attached to the previous data.
2006
[dfe4a520]2007* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
2008  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
2009  them.
2010
[920b066]2011Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]2012
2013* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
2014
2015* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
2016  continental European countries).
2017
2018* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
2019  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
2020  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
2021
2022* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
2023
2024* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
2025  they're needed.
2026
2027* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
2028
2029* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
2030
2031* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
2032
2033* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
2034  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
2035  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
2036
2037* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
2038
[920b066]2039Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]2040
2041* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
2042
2043* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
2044
2045* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
2046
2047* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
2048
2049* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
2050
2051* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
2052
2053* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
2054  when there's a presentation loaded.
2055
2056* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
2057  in cave view.
2058
2059* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
2060
2061* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
2062  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
2063  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
2064
2065* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
2066  filename for file history and window title.
2067
2068* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
2069  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
2070  only needed with GTK1.2.
2071
2072* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
2073
2074* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
2075
2076* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
2077
2078* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
2079
2080Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]2081
2082* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
2083  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
2084  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
2085
2086* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
2087  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
2088
2089* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
2090  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
2091  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
2092  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]2093
[0e558e5]2094* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]2095
2096* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
2097  with --help and --version.
2098
2099* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
2100  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]2101  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]2102  Fixed all these problems.
2103
2104* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
2105  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
2106  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
2107
2108* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]2109  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
2110  sources.
[8faa5d8]2111
[0e558e5]2112* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]2113
2114* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
2115
2116* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
2117  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
2118
2119* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
2120  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
2121  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
2122  animating.
2123
2124* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
2125
2126* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
2127
2128* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
2129  to this branch.
2130
2131* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
2132
2133  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
2134
2135  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
2136
2137  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
2138
2139* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]2140
[8faa5d8]2141* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
2142  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
2143
2144* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
2145
2146* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]2147  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]2148
2149* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
2150
2151* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
2152  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
2153  for anyone building from CVS).
2154
2155* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
2156
[4855072]2157* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]2158
2159* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
2160
2161* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
2162
[0e558e5]2163* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
2164  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]2165  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
2166
2167* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
2168  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
2169
2170* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
2171
2172* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]2173  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
2174  loaded).
[8faa5d8]2175
2176* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
2177
[920b066]2178Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]2179
2180* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]2181  startup.
[a7aa27d9]2182
2183* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
2184  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
2185
[920b066]2186Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]2187
[91e416e]2188* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
2189  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
2190  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]2191
[91e416e]2192* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
2193  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
2194  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]2195
[91e416e]2196* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
2197  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
2198  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]2199
[91e416e]2200* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]2201
[0580c6a]2202* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
2203  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
2204
[4261983]2205* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
2206  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
2207
2208* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
2209  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]2210
[f80077a]2211* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]2212
[6abab84]2213* aven: Perspective view.
2214
[91e416e]2215* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]2216
[91e416e]2217* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
2218  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]2219
[1690fa9]2220* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
2221  and load/save/run them.
2222
[0580c6a]2223* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
2224
[045e2af]2225* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
2226
[c60062d]2227* aven: Depth fogging option.
2228
[0580c6a]2229* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
2230
2231* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
2232
[f433fda]2233* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
2234  showing the surface legs.
2235
[0580c6a]2236* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
Note: See TracBrowser for help on using the repository browser.
