[570b57d]1Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
2
3* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
4
5* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
6  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
7  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
8  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
9
10* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
11  in 1.4.0.
12
13* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
14
[67f9739]15Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
[3b69f29]16
17* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
[cccc545]18  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
19  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
20  Couwenberg.
[3b69f29]21
22  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
23  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
24  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
25  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
26
27  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
[e91c656]28  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
[3b69f29]29
30* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
31  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
32  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
33
34* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
35  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
36  strings is strongly discouraged.
37
38  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
39
40  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
41
[67f9739]42  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
43  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
[3b69f29]44
45* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
46  Green.
47
48* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
49  echarlie.
50
51* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
52  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
53  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
54
55* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
56
[67f9739]57* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
58
[3b69f29]59* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
60
61* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
62
63* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
64  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
65  stations not attached to a fixed point.
66
[738af38]67Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
68
69* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
70  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
71  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
72  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
73  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
74
75* aven:
76
77  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
78    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
79    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
80    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
81    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
82    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
83
84* testsuite:
85
86  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
87    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
88    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
89    process exits.
90
91* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
92
[38bc415]93Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
94
95* aven:
96
97  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
[f9de21a]98
99* cavern:
100
[66b477f]101  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
102
103  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
104    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
105    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
106
[f9de21a]107  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
108    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
109    until the next *data command with parameters.
110
111  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
112    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
113
114  * Improve test coverage.
115
116* survexport:
117
118  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
119    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
120
121  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
122    Batista.
123
124* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
125  Holder.
126
[66b477f]127* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
128  from Thomas Holder.
129
[f9de21a]130* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
131  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
132
133* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
134
135* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
136
137* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
138
139* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
140
141* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
142
[fe8a1b4]143Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
144
145* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
146  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
147  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
148
149* aven:
150
151  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
152    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
153    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
154
155  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
156    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
157    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
158    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
159
160  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
161    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
162    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
163
164  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
165
[040c02e]166Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
167
168* aven:
169
170  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
171
172  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
173    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
174    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
175
176  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
177    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
178    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
179    orientation.
180
181* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
182  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
183  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
184  Richard Knapp.
185
186* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
187  might still need to use them for.
188
189* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
190
191* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
192
193* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
194  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
195  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
196  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
197
198* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
199  is now the recommended approach.
200
[0957d63]201Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
202
203* aven:
204
205  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
206    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
207    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
208    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
209    Brian Clipstone.
210
211  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
212    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
213
[d034033]214Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
215
216* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
217  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
218  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
219
220* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
221  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
222  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
223  with some compilers.
224
225* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
226  installed.
227
[9fe70e44]228Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
229
230* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
231  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
232  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
233
234* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
235  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
236  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
237
238* aven:
239
240  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
241    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
242    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
243    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
244    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
245    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
246    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
247    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
248    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
249    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
250    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
251
252  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
253
254* Documentation:
255
256  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
257
258  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
259    placeholder.
260
261  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
262    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
263
264* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
265  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
266  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
267
268* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
269  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
270  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
271  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
272  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
273  location to avoid confusion.
274
275* Add a few more message translations.
276
277* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
278
[66b555d]279Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
280
281* cavern:
282
283  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
284    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
285    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
286    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
287    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
288
289  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
290    now reports "file not found" instead.
291
292  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
293    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
294    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
295
296* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
297
298* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
299  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
300  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
301  removed.
302
303* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
304  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
305  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
306  information.  Patch from James Begley.
307
[3147062]308Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
309
310* aven:
311
312  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
313    controllable.
314
315  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
316
317  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
318    Patch from Robert Jones.
319
320  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
321    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
322    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
323
[0482978]324  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
325    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
326
[3ed7da1]327* cavern:
[3147062]328
[3ed7da1]329  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
330    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
[3147062]331
[3ed7da1]332  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
333    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
334    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
335    go unnoticed.
[3147062]336
337* survexport:
338
339  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
340    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
341    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
342
343  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
344    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
345    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
346    Stephen Crabtree.
347
348* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
349
350* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
351  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
352
353* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
354  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
355  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
356  therion's team command.
357
[26ab0a7]358Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
359
360* aven:
361
362  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
363
364  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
365    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
366    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
367    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
368    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
369    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
370    for new entrances.
371
372  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
373    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
374    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
375    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
376
377  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
378
379  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
380    to show via the right-click menu.
381
382  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
383    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
384    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
385    child surveys of the parent.
386
387  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
388    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
389    survey.
390
391  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
392    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
393
394  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
395
396  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
397    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
398
399  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
400    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
401    filtering this matters more).
402
403* survexport:
404
405  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
406    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
407
408  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
409
410* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
411
412* Minor translation updates.
413
414* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
415
416* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
417
418* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
419
[facb636]420Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
421
422* aven:
423
424  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
425    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
426    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
427    on screen, printed and exported.
428
429  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
430    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
431    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
432    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
433    survey.
434
435  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
436    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
437    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
438    view.  Reported by Wookey.
439
440  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
441    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
442    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
443
444  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
445    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
446
447  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
448    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
449
450  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
451    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
452
453  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
454    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
455
456  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
457    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
458
459* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
460  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
461  tools could do, plus much more.
462
463* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
464
465* Minor updates to various other translations.
466
467* img library:
468
469  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
470
471  + Improve API documentation.
472
473* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
474  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
475  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
476
477* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
478  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
479  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
480  control what gets exported.
481
[5279c800]482Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):

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