[bd21214]1* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
2  Instead turn off depth colouring.
3
4* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
5
[106cfdf]6Changes in 1.1.5:
7
8* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
9
[4ba80e0]10* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
11
12* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
13  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
14
[95ce35f]15* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
16  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
17 
18* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
19
[cd78148]20* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
21  underground legs is toggled.
22
[f5627353]23* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
24  attached to the previous data.
25
[dfe4a520]26* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
27  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
28  them.
29
[4855072]30Changes in 1.1.4:
31
32* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
33
34* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
35  continental European countries).
36
37* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
38  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
39  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
40
41* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
42
43* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
44  they're needed.
45
46* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
47
48* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
49
50* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
51
52* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
53  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
54  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
55
56* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
57
[0e558e5]58Changes in 1.1.3:
59
60* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
61
62* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
63
64* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
65
66* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
67
68* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
69
70* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
71
72* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
73  when there's a presentation loaded.
74
75* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
76  in cave view.
77
78* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
79
80* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
81  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
82  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
83
84* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
85  filename for file history and window title.
86
87* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
88  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
89  only needed with GTK1.2.
90
91* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
92
93* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
94
95* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
96
97* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
98
99Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]100
101* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
102  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
103  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
104
105* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
106  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
107
108* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
109  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
110  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
111  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]112
[0e558e5]113* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]114
115* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
116  with --help and --version.
117
118* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
119  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]120  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]121  Fixed all these problems.
122
123* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
124  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
125  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
126
127* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]128  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
129  sources.
[8faa5d8]130
[0e558e5]131* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]132
133* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
134
135* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
136  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
137
138* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
139  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
140  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
141  animating.
142
143* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
144
145* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
146
147* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
148  to this branch.
149
150* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
151
152  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
153
154  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
155
156  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
157
158* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]159
[8faa5d8]160* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
161  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
162
163* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
164
165* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]166  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]167
168* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
169
170* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
171  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
172  for anyone building from CVS).
173
174* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
175
[4855072]176* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]177
178* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
179
180* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
181
[0e558e5]182* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
183  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]184  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
185
186* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
187  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
188
189* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
190
191* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]192  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
193  loaded).
[8faa5d8]194
195* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
196
[a7aa27d9]197Changes in 1.1.1:
198
199* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]200  startup.
[a7aa27d9]201
202* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
203  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
204
[0580c6a]205Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0:
[edb6576]206
[91e416e]207* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
208  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
209  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]210
[91e416e]211* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
212  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
213  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]214
[91e416e]215* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
216  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
217  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]218
[91e416e]219* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]220
[0580c6a]221* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
222  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
223
[4261983]224* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
225  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
226
227* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
228  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]229
[f80077a]230* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]231
[6abab84]232* aven: Perspective view.
233
[91e416e]234* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]235
[91e416e]236* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
237  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]238
[1690fa9]239* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
240  and load/save/run them.
241
[0580c6a]242* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
243
[045e2af]244* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
245
[c60062d]246* aven: Depth fogging option.
247
[0580c6a]248* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
249
250* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
251
[f433fda]252* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
253  showing the surface legs.
254
[0580c6a]255* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
[da6c802]256
[0580c6a]257Changes in 1.0.32:
[db452ae]258
[0580c6a]259* aven: Fixed font sizes in "Print Preview" and printouts.
[a517825]260
[0580c6a]261* aven: In the print setup dialog, replaced "Orientation" radio buttons with
262  "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons.
263
264* aven: Fixed info box on printouts of elevations, tilted views, and
265  extend elevations.
266
267* aven: Added "fit on one page" option, and make it the default.
268
269* aven: Reorder "Cancel", "Preview", "Print" buttons and make "Print" the
270  default button.
271
272* aven: Read settings back from the print dialog when the "Print" button is
273  pressed (was only done for "Preview" previously).
274
275* aven: Sorted out the initial size of the "Print Preview" window.
276
277* aven: Fixed the window manager's close button on the "Print Preview" window
278  - previously this was being ignored.
279
280* aven: Sorted out initial survey scaling when loading a survey at startup.
281
282* aven: Fixed the measuring line to work better when the survey tree is
283  manipulated with keys.  Tweaked redrawing of the measuring line to be a
284  smidgen more efficient.  Fixed the blob and ring size which were one
285  pixel too small on Windows.
286
287* aven: Added "System Information:" section to the "About" dialog to hold
288  information useful when reporting bugs.  Currently it contains the wxWindows
289  version, OS version, and colour depth information.
290
291* aven: Changed the "About" dialog's "Close" button to be "OK" for consistency
292  with pretty much every other application.
293
294* aven: Added "File->Export as..." which integrates cad3d's functionality
295  within aven.
296
297* aven: Updated a few icons.
298
299* cad3d: Added SVG export support from John Pybus
300
301* (Unix version): Fixed to allow compilation with GCC 3.4
302
303* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to using innosetup 4 for the installer
304  (we were using innosetup 2).  This results in a much smaller download
305  and the installer now translates itself into the currently set language.
306  The installer will no longer work on Windows NT 3.51, but I seriously
307  doubt anyone is still using that...
308
309* Updates to German translation.
310
311Changes in 1.0.31:
312
313* (MS Windows version): Fixed problems with the new printing code by building
314  with a newer version of wxWindows (2.5.2 instead of 2.4.1).
315
316* aven: Fixed grid menu item so that it always correctly reflects whether the
317  grid is enabled or not.
318
319* aven: Minor improvements to appearance of a few toolbar icons.
320
321* Updates to Catalan, French, Italian, Romanian, Slovak, and Spanish
322  translations.
323
324* cavern: Fixed Romanian message which was appearing in English .err files.
325
326Changes in 1.0.30:
327
328* aven: Added printing directly from Aven!
329
330* aven: Fixed memory leak when showing the "About" dialog.
331
332* (MacOS X version): Now installable from a disk image package.
333
334* cavern: Equates are no longer considered when deciding which stations are
335  flagged as surface and underground.
336
337* Romanian translation mostly completed.
338
339* (Unix version): Debian: Minor packaging tweaks.
340
341Changes in 1.0.29:
342
343* cad3d: Fixed problem with DXF files which stopped them loading with some
344  drawing packages (introduced in 1.0.27).
345
346* aven: Changed File->Exit to File->Quit.
347
348* Removed some unused messages from the message files.
349
350* (Unix version): Fixed SRPMs to build on RedHat 9 and Fedora Core 1 (patch
351  from John Pybus).
352
353* Romanian translation started.
354
355* (Unix version): Debian: Fixed new lintian warnings about missing quotes in
356  menu files.
357
358Changes in 1.0.28:
359
360* Fixed 3d file reading code to fix incorrect unpacking of compressed station
361  names in a rare case.  Also checked other rare cases work correctly.
362
363Changes in 1.0.27:
364
365* cad3d: DXF output now puts surface legs, stations, and labels in separate
366  layers.
367
368* (Unix version): distribute desc-svxedit.txt.
[b462168]369
[1809849]370Changes in 1.0.26:
[b462168]371
[b4fe9fb]372* cavern: Fixed interleaved topofil data style - the length was always being
373  calculated as zero.
[b462168]374
375* (Unix version): aven: "All Files" now shows files without extensions too.
376
[b4fe9fb]377* aven: added Ctrl+Q as shortcut for File->Exit.
378
379* aven: depth colouring now uses a proper colour gradient.
380
381* (MacOS X version): aven: the keyboard and mouse now work!  It turns out that
382  we must apply resources *after* installing.
383
384* (MacOS X version): aven: now works when run from the MacOS X Finder.
385
386* (MacOS X version): look for message files and other resources relative to the
387  binaries so that the user can install Survex from a disk image in the location
388  of their choice.
389
390* (MacOS X version): fixed not to try to build aven if wxWindows isn't
391  installed.
392
[63dc4eb]393* cad3d: fixed -e and -r options to not crash (the long versions have always
394  worked).
395
396* extend: fixed to initialise an internal structure - failing to do so was
397  probably causing crashes on some platforms.
[b4fe9fb]398
[2934e83]399* Fixed standard graphics for "Note", "Warning", etc in the PostScript manual.
400
[b4fe9fb]401* Documentation updated.
402
[63dc4eb]403* (Unix version): fixed svxedit man page which previously contained xcaverot
[b4fe9fb]404  documentation!
405
406* test suite: check that cavern doesn't report "nan" or "NaN" for any values.
407
[63dc4eb]408* (Unix version): fixed configure --enable-defaultlang=XX to work.
[b4fe9fb]409
410* (Unix version): fixed configure code to turn on lots of GCC warnings and fixed
411  most of them.
[b5a3219]412
[63dc4eb]413* (MS Windows version): assorted tweaks to allow building with MS Visual C/C++.
414
[b462168]415Changes in 1.0.25:
416
417* (MacOS X version): hopefully fixed building of aven.
418
419* (Unix version): updated config.guess and config.sub so should build out of
420  the box on more Unix platforms.
421
422* (Unix version): Debian: added missing Build-Depends on xlibs-dev.
423
424* (Unix version): RPMs: give up supplying binary RPMs due to apparently
425  insurmountable technical problems.
[1a09e2c]426
[b462168]427Changes in 1.0.24:
428
429* cavern: fixed LEVEL (broken since around 1.0.8) and added test case.
430
431* cavern: corrected handling of declination in Compass DAT files and added test
432  case; also added tests for other aspects of Compass DAT file reading.
433
434* printps/printpcl: fixed blank page detection in some obscure cases.
435
436* Documentation: started manual section on working with Compass data files.
437
438* (Unix version): fixed compilation problems with aven and getopt.h on MacOS X
439  (and probably some other Unix versions).
440
441* (Unix version): Debian package now Build-Depends on gcc-3.2 and g++-3.2.
442
443Changes in 1.0.23:
444
445* Documentation: include 3d v3 file format description on MS Windows, MS DOS,
446  and RISC OS too; include PNG graphics for manual on MS Windows; minor updates
447  to manual.
448
449* Prefer wxWindows 2.4 if it's available.
450
451* (MacOS X version): detect MacOS X and look for MacOS X build of wxWindows;
452  automatically add resource fork to aven binary.
453
454* Disabled experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - it isn't currently
455  working and makes the printer drivers unusable on Chinese versions of MS
456  Windows.
457
458* (Unix version): tweaked debian packaging.
459
460* cavern: Handling of "*:" at start of file wasn't fully fixed in 1.0.19.
461
462Changes in 1.0.22:
463
464* aven: Fixed handling of extended elevations (and other flat surveys) -
465  they are meant to be "locked flat" but this wasn't fully working before.
466
467* Documentation: 3d v3 file format description: fixed error in description of
468  codes 0x01-0x0e; include it in binary packages (not only with the source
469  code).
470
471Changes in 1.0.21:
472
473* cavern: when reading Compass DAT files, we now processes compass and clino
474  backsights, and recognise the "X" flag which indicates a leg should be
475  entirely ignored.  And we now report correct line number with errors in
476  Compass .MAK files.
477
478* cavern: if "*infer plumbs on", don't infer a plumb if the clino is
479  +/- 90 degrees, but the backclino isn't (and vice versa).
480
481* cavern: fixed 3dx output so it actually works with Chasm once more.
482
483* cavern: don't allocate extra space needed for producing 3dx output for
484  Chasm unless we're actually producing that output - saves about 8 bytes
485  per station.
486
487* cavern: removed slightly too keen sanity check which could misfire in very
488  unusual circumstances.
489
490* (MS Windows version): all .ico files except 3d.ico have been missing since
491  1.0.17 (or maybe 1.0.16) - fixed.  You wouldn't notice this if you installed
492  over an previous version.
493
494Changes in 1.0.20:
495
496* aven: update display when "Metric" or "Degrees" is toggled.
497
498* cavern: fixed handling of compass and clino corrections in Compass survey
499  data - these were interpreted as radians rather than degrees so the
500  correction was about 57 times too large!)
501
502* Improved handling of Compass PLT files - if the survey name is empty, don't
503  insert a survey separator character.
504
505* Documentation: fixed incorrect markup which resulted in a bogus footnote.
506
507Changes in 1.0.19:
508
509* cavern: you can now process Compass format survey data (.DAT and .MAK files) -
510  these can even be linked into a Survex dataset with "*include fulford.dat" or
511  "*include lech.mak" to allow processing of mixed datasets.
512
513* cavern: major speedup (up to 60%) when reading in survey data containing
514  a lot of stations in the same survey hierarchy level (which is how Compass
515  files are handled).
516
517* cavern: don't warn about a compass reading on a plumbed leg if the
518  plumb was inferred and the compass reading is zero.
519
520* cavern: reduced memory usage in code which reads a survey station name.
521
522* cavern: reported CPU time would go negative if cavern ran for more than
523  about 36 minutes (highly unlikely but not impossible on a slow machine
524  with a large, highly interconnect survey) - fixed.
525
526* cavern: avoid unnecessary work when --percentage isn't specified.
527
528* cavern: Writing "*:" at the start of a .svx file would crash cavern - fixed
529  and added test case.  This is an error anyway, but it shouldn't cause a
530  crash.
531
[89a6a1e]532* Don't distribute unused toolbar icons.
533
[b462168]534* Documentation: minor updates.
535
[27b8b59]536Changes in 1.0.18:
537
[b462168]538* (Unix version): Fixed "Process" action on .svx files.
[27b8b59]539
[b462168]540* (Unix version): File associations: if svxedit isn't installed, run gnome-edit
541  instead.
[27b8b59]542
[b462168]543* (Unix version): In Debian packages, now include file associations and file
[27b8b59]544  icons in the survex package rather than survex-aven.
545
[b462168]546* (Unix version): File associations were missing from RPM packages; moved
[27b8b59]547  aven and svxedit man pages to their respective subpackages; moved aven icons
548  to the aven subpackage.
549
550* Documentation: added details of the 3d file format (version 3).
551
552* Updated TODO list.
553
554Changes in 1.0.17:
555
[b462168]556* (MS Windows version): Fixed "Open in SvxEdit" to work (and if tcl isn't
[27b8b59]557  install this action now falls back to using notepad).  SvxEdit now has
558  its own icon.
559
[b462168]560* (Unix version): Install mime types, icons, and file associations for Gnome.
[27b8b59]561  Note: at present GMC doesn't seem to notice new files being created (e.g.
562  Process on a .svx file creates .3d and .err files) - you have to manually
563  refresh the view.
564
565* Minor update to manual.
566
567Changes in 1.0.16:
568
[b462168]569* (MS Windows version): Really fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
[27b8b59]570  programs from finding the message files.
571
[b462168]572* (MS Windows version): Remove any existing "Open" file association for .svx
[27b8b59]573  files.
574
575Changes in 1.0.15:
576
[b462168]577* (MS Windows version): Fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
[27b8b59]578  programs from finding the message files.
579
[b462168]580* (MS Windows version): "Open in Notepad" is now the double-click action
[27b8b59]581  for .svx files once again, "Open in SvxEdit" is an action in the menu
582  obtained with the right mouse button.
583
584Changes in 1.0.14:
585
586* svxedit: This is a Survex data entry editor from the therion team.  It needs
587  tcl and wish installed - for MS Windows an installer is available for free
588  from Activeware.
589
[ee1ec59]590* Improved handling of Compass PLT files and CMAP xyz files - no longer change
591  dots to spaces in survey and station names - instead use a space as the
592  separator between survey name and station name.
[27b8b59]593
594* aven: when picking non-overlapping labels, show a slight preference to shorter
595  labels with the aim of displaying more labels.
596
597* aven: fixed hard to notice problem which could cause the cave to appear
598  tilted sideways after a lot of manipulation.
599
600* cavern: Modest speed improvement (0.5% for sample dataset).
[ee1ec59]601
602* cavern: fixed a rarely sighted bug which caused erroneous error about some
[21c226e]603  stations not being attached to a fixed point.
604
[e7576f6]605* cavern: fixed clino readings and DIRECTION to work in interleaved data.
[21c226e]606
[ee1ec59]607* cavern: improved error reporting when an invalid value is given for a
608  DIRECTION reading.
609
[42d23c5]610* cavern: fixed "singular matrix" error when very low SDs were specified.
611
[27b8b59]612* print*: if the --raw is used, the survey can now use the space this would
613  have taken up.
614
615* Reading of ASCII 3d files now copes with MSDOS/MS Windows line endings
616  once again.  Added regression test for this.
617
[b462168]618* (MS Windows version): Programs run from the command line now find message
[27b8b59]619  files without SURVEXHOME needing to be set.
620
[21c226e]621* Updated documentation.
622
623Changes in 1.0.13:
624
625* aven: Fixed bug which caused the occasional spurious leg to be shown
626  connecting arbitrary stations.
[27b8b59]627
[21c226e]628* extend: try to extend along a survey, and make breaks where other surveys
629  join.
630
631* cavern: Number reading code reworked to allow repeat readings to be
632  supported, but the actual repeat reading code is currently disabled,
633  and everything should work exactly as before.
634
635* Experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - only a few messages are
636  currently translated.
637
[50b0c7f]638Changes in 1.0.12:
639
[950e261]640* diffpos: fixed to work on 64bit architectures.
641
[dd5a89c]642* sorterr: fixed to work with more than 1024 traverses.
643
[abd126e]644* Fixed handling of iso-8859-2 character set and MS Windows code page 1250
645  (both cover Eastern European languages).
[27b8b59]646
[b462168]647* (MS Windows version): install file associations for Compass .plt and .plf
[f3d5b20]648  files and for CMAP .xyz files.  Also install the file icon for .plt and
649  .plf files in case Compass isn't installed (thanks to Larry Fish for
650  permission to include the icon).
651
652* (Unix version): running an installed program with an explicit path works
653  again.
654
655* (Unix version): xcaverot: automatically switch on PDA mode if the screen is
[15d7cc1]656  less than 640 pixels wide or less than 480 pixels high.
[f3d5b20]657
658* (Unix version): minor portability improvements.
659
[50b0c7f]660* Updates to Portuguese translation - all translations are now up-to-date.
661
[b8c4913]662Changes in 1.0.11:
663
[496a208]664* aven: improvements in 1.0.10 to the file type selector only work properly
665  on MS Windows, and with wxGtk >= 2.3 on Unix (the latest stable release is
666  2.2.9 where this doesn't work).  Fixed to work as well as possible on 2.2.9,
667  and as intended on 2.3.
668
[52634cc]669* aven: fixed so that loading PLT files works regardless of the current locale
670  (previously it would fail for locales where the decimal character wasn't
671  '.').
672
[7757a4ed]673* aven: key actions during autorotation no longer temporarily pause
674  autorotation.
675
[cc9150c]676* aven: switching to plan or elevation while rotating is now smooth.
677
678* aven: removed undocumented and confusing "free rotation mode".
679
680* (MS Windows version): aven: focus now set correctly after loading a file by
681  double-clicking or from the command line.
682
[a3326288]683* cad3d: write dummy passage dimensions to .plt files to avoid Compass bug.
684
[ca4058d]685* printwin/printps: now support coloured printouts.
686
[a3326288]687* print*: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
688
689* extend: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
[388ad50]690
[d275723]691* Updates to Italian translation.
692
[0f125da]693* Minor documentation updates.
694
[5215b99]695Changes in 1.0.10:
696
[6097cd2]697* (MS Windows version): aven: fixed assert failure upon turning on station
698  names.
699
[c01c332]700* aven: only add a file to the list of recently used files if it was opened
701  successfully.
702
[d16db18]703* aven: recognise ".plf" as a Compass PLT file too; and on Unix list "*.PLT",
704  "*.PLF", "*.XYZ", and "*.3D" as well as the lowercase versions to help people
705  who transfer files from MSDOS/MS Windows.
706
[cfcfd28]707* cavern: fixed bogus warning triggered by "*begin abc.def" (I'm not sure
708  that this should be valid, but the warning given wasn't appropriate).
709
[a9ab65a]710* Fixed scaling problem when reading PLT file (feet->metres conversion
711  factor was being applied backwards!)
712
[47e4a2e]713* Fixed potential problem when reading or writing a 3d file which couldn't
714  be opened.
715
[5215b99]716* Translate dots to spaces in survey names in Compass PLT files.
717
[ef59f5e]718* Better handling of PLT files which have a D command before any M command.
719
[c01c332]720* Updates to German and Italian translations.
[3bf737e]721
[f4276af]722Changes in 1.0.9:
723
[e3dfce4]724* aven: Fixed jerky start when auto-rotation begins.
725
726* cavern: Fixed Direction reading - bug previously made it unusable.
[f4276af]727
[6317ee2]728* (MS Windows version): cad3d: fixed broken PLT output (had a double CR at the
729  end of each line).
730
[161e268]731* (Unix version): RPMs now have the docs in /usr/share/doc and the man pages
732  in /usr/share/man to conform with the FHS (and where RedHat packages put
733  them).
734
[06e94a8]735* Updates to French, Spanish, Catalan, and Slovak translations.
[b10788f]736
[732b9b0]737Changes in 1.0.8:
738
[b6de07d]739* Slovak translation added; updated German, Catalan, and Spanish translations.
740
[fa42426]741* aven: reduced memory usage by around 25% and increased speed and
742  responsiveness.
[cd6ea75]743
[a8e9fde]744* aven: rate of rotation and switching between plan and elevation now adjusted
745  to the speed of redraw, so aven behaves in a similar way independent of the
746  speed of the computer or size of the survey.
747
[75993b9]748* aven: provide list of most recently loaded files (preserved between runs of
749  the program).
[6804731]750
751* aven: settings for "Metric" and "Degrees" are preserved between runs.
[732b9b0]752
[8ac4406]753* aven: moved some menu items from "View" to "Controls" as they probably
754  belong there and the "View" menu was getting out of hand.
755
[c8c116c]756* aven: cursor keys now translate cave in the same way the mouse does (i.e. now
757  work as in caverot and xcaverot).
758
[6df24ee]759* aven: eliminated the "twinkling label" effect when dragging the cave with the
760  right mouse button.
761
[fa42426]762* aven: the measuring line moves much more smoothly now: the mouse cursor now
763  snaps to the nearest station, rather than just a near station; and when the
764  line moves, we now only redraw the affected area of the window.
[2173dbd]765
[b6de07d]766* aven: resolved annoying limit on zooming in on large surveys.  This was a
767  crude way of preventing random lines due to overflow in the windowing system.
768  Aven now clips lines itself at high zoom levels, and limits zoom in to
769  approximately 1mm/pixel.
770
771* aven: zoom in/out with keyboard wasn't subject to any limits - now restricted
772  to sane values as with zoom in/out with the mouse.
773
[5fa68cc5]774* print*: added --raw switch to turn of info box, scale bar, and page footer.
775  This can be useful if you want to import the output into another application.
[1a09e2c]776
[5b7c1b7]777* print*: improved output when --no-border is used.
[3fb572e]778
[2001db9]779* printpcl/printdm: Added new .ini setting "font_bitmap" which allows the user
780  to choose between alternative fonts.  Current we supply "default" and "bold".
781
[fa42426]782* printps/printhpgl: Fixed --skip-blanks which would incorrectly skip non-blank
783  pages on rare occasions.
784
[11e919a]785* cavern: added support for BackCompass and BackClino.
[5b7c1b7]786
[fa42426]787* cavern: implemented "*units clino percent".
[c9eb197]788
[0580c6a]789* cavern: added "*infer exports on".  Any stations seen while this is on will
[c00c74a9]790  have the necessary *export-s inferred when accessed from outside their
791  own survey.  This allows linking a survey which uses *export to one which
792  doesn't.  It's also useful for a maze cave where so many stations can
793  be linked to that listing them explicitly isn't desirable.
794
[fa42426]795* cavern: N-S, E-W, and vertical ranges now only count stations which are in
796  underground surveys.
797
[0b71cfc]798* cavern: *infer plumbs wasn't inferring -90 to be DOWN - fixed.
799
[c00c74a9]800* cavern: *infer was giving an internal error if the argument was unknown -
801  now it gives the correct error message.
802
[fa42426]803* cavern: fixed handling of omitted clino readings when OMIT is *set to be
804  different from MINUS and PLUS (new test omitclino).
805
[b14f44f]806* cavern: fixed a bogus warning for any station which was only used in a line
807  of data which was rejected because of an error.
808
[fa42426]809* cavern: added error if the *units factor is zero (e.g. "*units tape 0 feet").
810
[b14f44f]811* cavern: removed the ill-thought-out and never implemented LENGTHOUTPUT
812  and ANGLEOUTPUT quantities.
813
[770157e]814* cavern: resolved mismatch between bcra5.svx and the default SDs, and the
815  odd values in bcra3.svx.  We are now interpreting the BCRA limits as 2
816  standard deviations (previously bcra5.svx used 3 sds, bcra3 used 3.33 sds for
817  tape and position, and .75 sds for compass and clino, and cavern used 1 sd
818  by default).
819
[a20b208]820* ChangeLog now only includes entries since the previous release (the full file
[9cc3854]821  is 220K or so, and of interest to very few people).  MSDOS and MS Windows
[b14f44f]822  versions now comfortably fit on a 1.44M floppy once again.
[9cc3854]823
[b6de07d]824* Test suite now checks that all programs will run successfully with "--help"
825  and with "--version".  This should avoid problems such as that which broke
826  the printer drivers in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
[a20b208]827
[fa42426]828* (Unix version): uninstalled binaries now use the path they are run with to
829  find support files, which means SURVEXHOME is no longer required, and has
830  been removed.
831
[7c41b21]832Changes in 1.0.7:
833
834* print*: halted with a failed assertion in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
835
[cd8d79a]836Changes in 1.0.6:
837
838* aven: "Reverse Controls" now works as in xcaverot and caverot.
839
840* aven: free rotation mode (engage by pressing control while left dragging,
841  exit with Delete) improved.
842
[30987bd]843* aven: using File->Open when a file was already loaded caused a crash
844  if a station was "grey highlighted" in the survey tree - fixed.
845
[e98af57]846* aven: added hourglass for "find" operation.
847
[0edb0d0]848* aven: reenabled loading of files by drag-and-drop (accidentally disabled
849  in 1.0.4 and 1.0.5).
850
[303a525]851* aven: improved handling of flat surveys (e.g. output of extend, surveys
852  with no clino information).
853
[12d0d1b]854* aven: surveys with stations but no legs no longer cause the labels and
855  crosses buttons to behave oddly.
856
[2c30188]857* aven: removed quite a bit of unused and superfluous code.
858
[3d5fb53]859* Spell-checked documentation.
860
[c637fad]861Changes in 1.0.5:
862
863* Fixed bug in img_open_survey() which could cause a crash if you tried to
[88c780d]864  open an unrecognised file (i.e. not .3d, .pos, .plt, or .xyz format).
865
866* North and East were the wrong way round when reading in .plt files.
[c637fad]867
[5173649]868* cad3d: Improved .plt file output a little - there's probably enough file
869  structure for Compass to read them now.
870
[f9dc4a0]871* Documentation updates.
872
[ea1c342]873Changes in 1.0.4:
874
[64511c0]875* extend: previously only kept one name for an equated group of stations in the
876  extended .3d file; now keeps all the names.
877
[b387524]878* cad3d: if an output filename is given, use its extension to pick the default
879  output format.
880
[ba2c5b1]881* aven: movement with keyboard is now accelerated by Shift as in caverot.
882
[f3ed07f]883* print*: --no-borders fixed to work as documented; --no-cutlines added to
884  turn off the dashed lines where pages join on multi-page printouts.
[80f17e0]885
[189f179]886* aven: tracked down two uninitialised variables which seems to fix the
887  failure to load a survey on startup which some people have been experiencing
888  on Microsoft Windows.
889
890* aven: code cleaned up - should improve performance a little.
[9f3e5df]891
892* img routines: img_rewind() now returns a value indicating success/failure.
893
[f1c7c9c7]894* Improvements to .plt file reading, notably that distances in the file are
895  now interpreted as being in feet rather than metres.  Also .plt files should
896  now be recognised even with a different extension, and we cope with an odd
897  special case better.
898
899* Added support for reading CMAP XYZ files.  There are two variants of these
900  - the "shot" format is fully implemented, the "station" format currently
901  just reads the station names and positions - the legs are ignored (sadly
902  the sample files I have do not match the format specification).
[4ebc557]903
[80f17e0]904* (MacOS X version): aven: aven now builds on MacOS X - we just need to sort
[64511c0]905  out packaging now...
[ea1c342]906
[be48ac6]907* (MSDOS version): upgraded graphics library used to Allegro 4.0.1.
908
[fe16ba3]909* Documentation updates.
[a7e3295]910
[febe041]911Changes in 1.0.3:
912
[7a89dc2]913* aven: you can now select distances to be displayed in feet (or miles when
914  you zoom right out) instead of metres, and angles to be in grads instead
915  of degrees.
916
917* aven: show altitude of mouse pointer when in elevation view.
918
[febe041]919* cad3d: fixed bug which caused --plt to crash on some platforms.
920
[3857e321]921* print*: added "Printing to `XXX'..." message to say where output is being
922  written.
923
[a8fa00a]924* Updated French translation; minor updates to other translations (mostly
925  sorting out clashing menu shortcuts in aven).
[e3a14ae]926
[43db339]927* (Unix version): assorted portability tweaks.
928
[745433f]929Changes in 1.0.2:
930
[4783405]931* printdm/printpcl/printwin: take notice of font_size_labels setting in
932  print.ini etc.
933
[107b8bd]934* cavern: Topofil can now be used with DIVING and CYLPOLAR styles; TOPOFIL
935  style is now synonymous with NORMAL.
936
937* cavern: *INFER EQUATES and *DATA TOPOFIL now work together correctly.
938
[c2211a5]939* cavern: *FIX with 3 standard deviations but no covariances now works.
940
[f73bb48]941* (MacOS X version): command line programs now build.  We're working on Aven.
[745433f]942
[7fc1465]943* Updates to the Catalan and Spanish translations.
944
[4783405]945* xcaverot: documented environmental variables XCAVEROT_INDICATOR_RADIUS and
946  XCAVEROT_FONTNAME.
947
[e1b99fc]948* cad3d: added --plt option to produce crude approximation to Compass .plt
949  files - should be good enough for reading into Carto.
950
[ad4eaf3f]951* img library enhanced to allow Compass .plt files to be read as if they were
952  .3d files.
953
[3217572]954Changes in 1.0.1:
955
[7fc1465]956* (MS Windows version): printwin: fixed sizes of cross and page alignment
[de5f18d]957  ticks.
[7be0ba8]958
[5d38036]959* Updates to the Portuguese and Italian translations.
960
[c51c50a]961Changes in 1.0.0:
[4b4bd47]962
[4d3dfdf]963* Fixed --survey option supported by many programs which was broken in 0.99.
964
[c51c50a]965* aven: altered colours of "fixed points" and "entrances" buttons to match
966  the coloured blobs used to indicate them.
967
[de5f18d]968* (MS Windows version): aven: changed current point highlighting in the
[35001ee]969  survey tree to use a light grey background rather than bold (bold causes
970  the text to "wriggle" as the highlight runs up or down).
971
[1cc6cc5]972* (MS Windows version): file icons now have transparent backgrounds.
