(Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
GTK2.0. The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because WXGTK12 is
set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!

[b65c13f]1* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
2  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
3  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
4
[17cce5f]5* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
6  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
7
[affaeee]8* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
9
[7e01c87]10Changes in 1.1.6:
11
12* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
13  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
14
[b88b171]15* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
16  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
17  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
18  3d file.
19
[7e01c87]20* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
21
22* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
23
24* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
25  Instead turn off depth colouring.
26
[8ea82aa]27* aven: Export as HPGL added.
28
[887c26e]29* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
30  Martin Green).
31
[7c29c976]32* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
33  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
34  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
35
[7e01c87]36* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]37
[7e01c87]38* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
39  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
40
41* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
42  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
43  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
44  of everything else.
45
46* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
47  presentation icons.
48
49* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
50  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]51
[b46bf92]52* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
53
[796d7bf]54* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
55
[7e01c87]56* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
57
58* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
59
[b88b171]60* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
61  language to use for messages.
62
[7c29c976]63* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
64  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
65
[8ea82aa]66* Removed old printer drivers.
67
[7e01c87]68* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
69  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]70
[106cfdf]71Changes in 1.1.5:
72
73* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
74
[4ba80e0]75* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
76
77* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
78  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
79
[95ce35f]80* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
81  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
82 
83* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
84
[cd78148]85* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
86  underground legs is toggled.
87
[f5627353]88* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
89  attached to the previous data.
90
[dfe4a520]91* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
92  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
93  them.
94
[4855072]95Changes in 1.1.4:
96
97* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
98
99* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
100  continental European countries).
101
102* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
103  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
104  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
105
106* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
107
108* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
109  they're needed.
110
111* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
112
113* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
114
115* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
116
117* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
118  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
119  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
120
121* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
122
[0e558e5]123Changes in 1.1.3:
124
125* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
126
127* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
128
129* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
130
131* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
132
133* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
134
135* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
136
137* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
138  when there's a presentation loaded.
139
140* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
141  in cave view.
142
143* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
144
145* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
146  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
147  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
148
149* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
150  filename for file history and window title.
151
152* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
153  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
154  only needed with GTK1.2.
155
156* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
157
158* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
159
160* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
161
162* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
163
164Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]165
166* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
167  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
168  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
169
170* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
171  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
172
173* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
174  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
175  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
176  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]177
[0e558e5]178* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]179
180* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
181  with --help and --version.
182
183* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
184  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]185  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]186  Fixed all these problems.
187
188* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
189  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
190  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
191
192* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]193  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
194  sources.
[8faa5d8]195
[0e558e5]196* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]197
198* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
199
200* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
201  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
202
203* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
204  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
205  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
206  animating.
207
208* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
209
210* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
211
212* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
213  to this branch.
214
215* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
216
217  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
218
219  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
220
221  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
222
223* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]224
[8faa5d8]225* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
226  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
227
228* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
229
230* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]231  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]232
233* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
234
235* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
236  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
237  for anyone building from CVS).
238
239* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
240
[4855072]241* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]242
243* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
244
245* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
246
[0e558e5]247* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
248  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]249  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
250
251* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
252  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
253
254* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
255
256* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]257  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
258  loaded).
[8faa5d8]259
260* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
261
[a7aa27d9]262Changes in 1.1.1:
263
264* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]265  startup.
[a7aa27d9]266
267* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
268  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
269
[0580c6a]270Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0:
[edb6576]271
[91e416e]272* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
273  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
274  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]275
[91e416e]276* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
277  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
278  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]279
[91e416e]280* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
281  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
282  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]283
[91e416e]284* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]285
[0580c6a]286* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
287  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
288
[4261983]289* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
290  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
291
292* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
293  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]294
[f80077a]295* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]296
[6abab84]297* aven: Perspective view.
298
[91e416e]299* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]300
[91e416e]301* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
302  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]303
[1690fa9]304* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
305  and load/save/run them.
306
[0580c6a]307* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
308
[045e2af]309* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
310
[c60062d]311* aven: Depth fogging option.
312
[0580c6a]313* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
314
315* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
316
[f433fda]317* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
318  showing the surface legs.
319
[0580c6a]320* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
[da6c802]321
[0580c6a]322Changes in 1.0.32:
[db452ae]323
[0580c6a]324* aven: Fixed font sizes in "Print Preview" and printouts.
[a517825]325
[0580c6a]326* aven: In the print setup dialog, replaced "Orientation" radio buttons with
327  "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons.
328
329* aven: Fixed info box on printouts of elevations, tilted views, and
330  extend elevations.
331
332* aven: Added "fit on one page" option, and make it the default.
333
334* aven: Reorder "Cancel", "Preview", "Print" buttons and make "Print" the
335  default button.
336
337* aven: Read settings back from the print dialog when the "Print" button is
338  pressed (was only done for "Preview" previously).
339
340* aven: Sorted out the initial size of the "Print Preview" window.
341
342* aven: Fixed the window manager's close button on the "Print Preview" window
343  - previously this was being ignored.
344
345* aven: Sorted out initial survey scaling when loading a survey at startup.
346
347* aven: Fixed the measuring line to work better when the survey tree is
348  manipulated with keys.  Tweaked redrawing of the measuring line to be a
349  smidgen more efficient.  Fixed the blob and ring size which were one
350  pixel too small on Windows.
351
352* aven: Added "System Information:" section to the "About" dialog to hold
353  information useful when reporting bugs.  Currently it contains the wxWindows
354  version, OS version, and colour depth information.
355
356* aven: Changed the "About" dialog's "Close" button to be "OK" for consistency
357  with pretty much every other application.
358
359* aven: Added "File->Export as..." which integrates cad3d's functionality
360  within aven.
361
362* aven: Updated a few icons.
363
364* cad3d: Added SVG export support from John Pybus
365
366* (Unix version): Fixed to allow compilation with GCC 3.4
367
368* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to using innosetup 4 for the installer
369  (we were using innosetup 2).  This results in a much smaller download
370  and the installer now translates itself into the currently set language.
371  The installer will no longer work on Windows NT 3.51, but I seriously
372  doubt anyone is still using that...
373
374* Updates to German translation.
375
376Changes in 1.0.31:
377
378* (MS Windows version): Fixed problems with the new printing code by building
379  with a newer version of wxWindows (2.5.2 instead of 2.4.1).
380
381* aven: Fixed grid menu item so that it always correctly reflects whether the
382  grid is enabled or not.
383
384* aven: Minor improvements to appearance of a few toolbar icons.
385
386* Updates to Catalan, French, Italian, Romanian, Slovak, and Spanish
387  translations.
388
389* cavern: Fixed Romanian message which was appearing in English .err files.
390
391Changes in 1.0.30:
392
393* aven: Added printing directly from Aven!
394
395* aven: Fixed memory leak when showing the "About" dialog.
396
397* (MacOS X version): Now installable from a disk image package.
398
399* cavern: Equates are no longer considered when deciding which stations are
400  flagged as surface and underground.
401
402* Romanian translation mostly completed.
403
404* (Unix version): Debian: Minor packaging tweaks.
405
406Changes in 1.0.29:
407
408* cad3d: Fixed problem with DXF files which stopped them loading with some
409  drawing packages (introduced in 1.0.27).
410
411* aven: Changed File->Exit to File->Quit.
412
413* Removed some unused messages from the message files.
414
415* (Unix version): Fixed SRPMs to build on RedHat 9 and Fedora Core 1 (patch
416  from John Pybus).
417
418* Romanian translation started.
419
420* (Unix version): Debian: Fixed new lintian warnings about missing quotes in
421  menu files.
422
423Changes in 1.0.28:
424
425* Fixed 3d file reading code to fix incorrect unpacking of compressed station
426  names in a rare case.  Also checked other rare cases work correctly.
427
428Changes in 1.0.27:
429
430* cad3d: DXF output now puts surface legs, stations, and labels in separate
431  layers.
432
433* (Unix version): distribute desc-svxedit.txt.
[b462168]434
[1809849]435Changes in 1.0.26:
[b462168]436
[b4fe9fb]437* cavern: Fixed interleaved topofil data style - the length was always being
438  calculated as zero.
[b462168]439
440* (Unix version): aven: "All Files" now shows files without extensions too.
441
[b4fe9fb]442* aven: added Ctrl+Q as shortcut for File->Exit.
443
444* aven: depth colouring now uses a proper colour gradient.
445
446* (MacOS X version): aven: the keyboard and mouse now work!  It turns out that
447  we must apply resources *after* installing.
448
449* (MacOS X version): aven: now works when run from the MacOS X Finder.
450
451* (MacOS X version): look for message files and other resources relative to the
452  binaries so that the user can install Survex from a disk image in the location
453  of their choice.
454
455* (MacOS X version): fixed not to try to build aven if wxWindows isn't
456  installed.
457
[63dc4eb]458* cad3d: fixed -e and -r options to not crash (the long versions have always
459  worked).
460
461* extend: fixed to initialise an internal structure - failing to do so was
462  probably causing crashes on some platforms.
[b4fe9fb]463
[2934e83]464* Fixed standard graphics for "Note", "Warning", etc in the PostScript manual.
465
[b4fe9fb]466* Documentation updated.
467
[63dc4eb]468* (Unix version): fixed svxedit man page which previously contained xcaverot
[b4fe9fb]469  documentation!
470
471* test suite: check that cavern doesn't report "nan" or "NaN" for any values.
472
[63dc4eb]473* (Unix version): fixed configure --enable-defaultlang=XX to work.
[b4fe9fb]474
475* (Unix version): fixed configure code to turn on lots of GCC warnings and fixed
476  most of them.
[b5a3219]477
[63dc4eb]478* (MS Windows version): assorted tweaks to allow building with MS Visual C/C++.
479
[b462168]480Changes in 1.0.25:
481
482* (MacOS X version): hopefully fixed building of aven.
483
484* (Unix version): updated config.guess and config.sub so should build out of
485  the box on more Unix platforms.
486
487* (Unix version): Debian: added missing Build-Depends on xlibs-dev.
488
489* (Unix version): RPMs: give up supplying binary RPMs due to apparently
490  insurmountable technical problems.
[1a09e2c]491
[b462168]492Changes in 1.0.24:
493
494* cavern: fixed LEVEL (broken since around 1.0.8) and added test case.
495
496* cavern: corrected handling of declination in Compass DAT files and added test
497  case; also added tests for other aspects of Compass DAT file reading.
498
499* printps/printpcl: fixed blank page detection in some obscure cases.
500
501* Documentation: started manual section on working with Compass data files.
502
503* (Unix version): fixed compilation problems with aven and getopt.h on MacOS X
504  (and probably some other Unix versions).
505
506* (Unix version): Debian package now Build-Depends on gcc-3.2 and g++-3.2.
507
508Changes in 1.0.23:
509
510* Documentation: include 3d v3 file format description on MS Windows, MS DOS,
511  and RISC OS too; include PNG graphics for manual on MS Windows; minor updates
512  to manual.
513
514* Prefer wxWindows 2.4 if it's available.
515
516* (MacOS X version): detect MacOS X and look for MacOS X build of wxWindows;
517  automatically add resource fork to aven binary.
518
519* Disabled experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - it isn't currently
520  working and makes the printer drivers unusable on Chinese versions of MS
521  Windows.
522
523* (Unix version): tweaked debian packaging.
524
525* cavern: Handling of "*:" at start of file wasn't fully fixed in 1.0.19.
526
527Changes in 1.0.22:
528
529* aven: Fixed handling of extended elevations (and other flat surveys) -
530  they are meant to be "locked flat" but this wasn't fully working before.
531
532* Documentation: 3d v3 file format description: fixed error in description of
533  codes 0x01-0x0e; include it in binary packages (not only with the source
534  code).
535
536Changes in 1.0.21:
537
538* cavern: when reading Compass DAT files, we now processes compass and clino
539  backsights, and recognise the "X" flag which indicates a leg should be
540  entirely ignored.  And we now report correct line number with errors in
541  Compass .MAK files.
542
543* cavern: if "*infer plumbs on", don't infer a plumb if the clino is
544  +/- 90 degrees, but the backclino isn't (and vice versa).
545
546* cavern: fixed 3dx output so it actually works with Chasm once more.
547
548* cavern: don't allocate extra space needed for producing 3dx output for
549  Chasm unless we're actually producing that output - saves about 8 bytes
550  per station.
551
552* cavern: removed slightly too keen sanity check which could misfire in very
553  unusual circumstances.
554
555* (MS Windows version): all .ico files except 3d.ico have been missing since
556  1.0.17 (or maybe 1.0.16) - fixed.  You wouldn't notice this if you installed
557  over an previous version.
558
559Changes in 1.0.20:
560
561* aven: update display when "Metric" or "Degrees" is toggled.
562
563* cavern: fixed handling of compass and clino corrections in Compass survey
564  data - these were interpreted as radians rather than degrees so the
565  correction was about 57 times too large!)
566
567* Improved handling of Compass PLT files - if the survey name is empty, don't
568  insert a survey separator character.
569
570* Documentation: fixed incorrect markup which resulted in a bogus footnote.
571
572Changes in 1.0.19:
573
574* cavern: you can now process Compass format survey data (.DAT and .MAK files) -
575  these can even be linked into a Survex dataset with "*include fulford.dat" or
576  "*include lech.mak" to allow processing of mixed datasets.
577
578* cavern: major speedup (up to 60%) when reading in survey data containing
579  a lot of stations in the same survey hierarchy level (which is how Compass
580  files are handled).
581
582* cavern: don't warn about a compass reading on a plumbed leg if the
583  plumb was inferred and the compass reading is zero.
584
585* cavern: reduced memory usage in code which reads a survey station name.
586
587* cavern: reported CPU time would go negative if cavern ran for more than
588  about 36 minutes (highly unlikely but not impossible on a slow machine
589  with a large, highly interconnect survey) - fixed.
590
591* cavern: avoid unnecessary work when --percentage isn't specified.
592
593* cavern: Writing "*:" at the start of a .svx file would crash cavern - fixed
594  and added test case.  This is an error anyway, but it shouldn't cause a
595  crash.
596
[89a6a1e]597* Don't distribute unused toolbar icons.
598
[b462168]599* Documentation: minor updates.
600
[27b8b59]601Changes in 1.0.18:
602
[b462168]603* (Unix version): Fixed "Process" action on .svx files.
[27b8b59]604
[b462168]605* (Unix version): File associations: if svxedit isn't installed, run gnome-edit
606  instead.
[27b8b59]607
[b462168]608* (Unix version): In Debian packages, now include file associations and file
[27b8b59]609  icons in the survex package rather than survex-aven.
610
[b462168]611* (Unix version): File associations were missing from RPM packages; moved
[27b8b59]612  aven and svxedit man pages to their respective subpackages; moved aven icons
613  to the aven subpackage.
614
615* Documentation: added details of the 3d file format (version 3).
616
617* Updated TODO list.
618
619Changes in 1.0.17:
620
[b462168]621* (MS Windows version): Fixed "Open in SvxEdit" to work (and if tcl isn't
[27b8b59]622  install this action now falls back to using notepad).  SvxEdit now has
623  its own icon.
624
[b462168]625* (Unix version): Install mime types, icons, and file associations for Gnome.
[27b8b59]626  Note: at present GMC doesn't seem to notice new files being created (e.g.
627  Process on a .svx file creates .3d and .err files) - you have to manually
628  refresh the view.
629
630* Minor update to manual.
631
632Changes in 1.0.16:
633
[b462168]634* (MS Windows version): Really fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
[27b8b59]635  programs from finding the message files.
636
[b462168]637* (MS Windows version): Remove any existing "Open" file association for .svx
[27b8b59]638  files.
639
640Changes in 1.0.15:
641
[b462168]642* (MS Windows version): Fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
[27b8b59]643  programs from finding the message files.
644
[b462168]645* (MS Windows version): "Open in Notepad" is now the double-click action
[27b8b59]646  for .svx files once again, "Open in SvxEdit" is an action in the menu
647  obtained with the right mouse button.
648
649Changes in 1.0.14:
650
651* svxedit: This is a Survex data entry editor from the therion team.  It needs
652  tcl and wish installed - for MS Windows an installer is available for free
653  from Activeware.
654
[ee1ec59]655* Improved handling of Compass PLT files and CMAP xyz files - no longer change
656  dots to spaces in survey and station names - instead use a space as the
657  separator between survey name and station name.
[27b8b59]658
659* aven: when picking non-overlapping labels, show a slight preference to shorter
660  labels with the aim of displaying more labels.
661
662* aven: fixed hard to notice problem which could cause the cave to appear
663  tilted sideways after a lot of manipulation.
664
665* cavern: Modest speed improvement (0.5% for sample dataset).
[ee1ec59]666
667* cavern: fixed a rarely sighted bug which caused erroneous error about some
[21c226e]668  stations not being attached to a fixed point.
669
[e7576f6]670* cavern: fixed clino readings and DIRECTION to work in interleaved data.
[21c226e]671
[ee1ec59]672* cavern: improved error reporting when an invalid value is given for a
673  DIRECTION reading.
674
[42d23c5]675* cavern: fixed "singular matrix" error when very low SDs were specified.
676
[27b8b59]677* print*: if the --raw is used, the survey can now use the space this would
678  have taken up.
679
680* Reading of ASCII 3d files now copes with MSDOS/MS Windows line endings
681  once again.  Added regression test for this.
682
[b462168]683* (MS Windows version): Programs run from the command line now find message
[27b8b59]684  files without SURVEXHOME needing to be set.
685
[21c226e]686* Updated documentation.
687
688Changes in 1.0.13:
689
690* aven: Fixed bug which caused the occasional spurious leg to be shown
691  connecting arbitrary stations.
[27b8b59]692
[21c226e]693* extend: try to extend along a survey, and make breaks where other surveys
694  join.
695
696* cavern: Number reading code reworked to allow repeat readings to be
697  supported, but the actual repeat reading code is currently disabled,
698  and everything should work exactly as before.
699
700* Experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - only a few messages are
701  currently translated.
702
[50b0c7f]703Changes in 1.0.12:
704
[950e261]705* diffpos: fixed to work on 64bit architectures.
706
[dd5a89c]707* sorterr: fixed to work with more than 1024 traverses.
708
[abd126e]709* Fixed handling of iso-8859-2 character set and MS Windows code page 1250
710  (both cover Eastern European languages).
[27b8b59]711
[b462168]712* (MS Windows version): install file associations for Compass .plt and .plf
[f3d5b20]713  files and for CMAP .xyz files.  Also install the file icon for .plt and
714  .plf files in case Compass isn't installed (thanks to Larry Fish for
715  permission to include the icon).
716
717* (Unix version): running an installed program with an explicit path works
718  again.
719
720* (Unix version): xcaverot: automatically switch on PDA mode if the screen is
[15d7cc1]721  less than 640 pixels wide or less than 480 pixels high.
[f3d5b20]722
723* (Unix version): minor portability improvements.
724
[50b0c7f]725* Updates to Portuguese translation - all translations are now up-to-date.
726
[b8c4913]727Changes in 1.0.11:
728
[496a208]729* aven: improvements in 1.0.10 to the file type selector only work properly
730  on MS Windows, and with wxGtk >= 2.3 on Unix (the latest stable release is
731  2.2.9 where this doesn't work).  Fixed to work as well as possible on 2.2.9,
732  and as intended on 2.3.
733
[52634cc]734* aven: fixed so that loading PLT files works regardless of the current locale
735  (previously it would fail for locales where the decimal character wasn't
736  '.').
737
[7757a4ed]738* aven: key actions during autorotation no longer temporarily pause
739  autorotation.
740
[cc9150c]741* aven: switching to plan or elevation while rotating is now smooth.
742
743* aven: removed undocumented and confusing "free rotation mode".
744
745* (MS Windows version): aven: focus now set correctly after loading a file by
746  double-clicking or from the command line.
747
[a3326288]748* cad3d: write dummy passage dimensions to .plt files to avoid Compass bug.
749
[ca4058d]750* printwin/printps: now support coloured printouts.
751
[a3326288]752* print*: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
753
754* extend: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
[388ad50]755
[d275723]756* Updates to Italian translation.
757
[0f125da]758* Minor documentation updates.
759
[5215b99]760Changes in 1.0.10:
761
[6097cd2]762* (MS Windows version): aven: fixed assert failure upon turning on station
763  names.
764
[c01c332]765* aven: only add a file to the list of recently used files if it was opened
766  successfully.
767
[d16db18]768* aven: recognise ".plf" as a Compass PLT file too; and on Unix list "*.PLT",
769  "*.PLF", "*.XYZ", and "*.3D" as well as the lowercase versions to help people
770  who transfer files from MSDOS/MS Windows.
771
[cfcfd28]772* cavern: fixed bogus warning triggered by "*begin abc.def" (I'm not sure
773  that this should be valid, but the warning given wasn't appropriate).
774
[a9ab65a]775* Fixed scaling problem when reading PLT file (feet->metres conversion
776  factor was being applied backwards!)
777
[47e4a2e]778* Fixed potential problem when reading or writing a 3d file which couldn't
779  be opened.
780
[5215b99]781* Translate dots to spaces in survey names in Compass PLT files.
782
[ef59f5e]783* Better handling of PLT files which have a D command before any M command.
784
[c01c332]785* Updates to German and Italian translations.
[3bf737e]786
[f4276af]787Changes in 1.0.9:
788
[e3dfce4]789* aven: Fixed jerky start when auto-rotation begins.
790
791* cavern: Fixed Direction reading - bug previously made it unusable.
[f4276af]792
[6317ee2]793* (MS Windows version): cad3d: fixed broken PLT output (had a double CR at the
794  end of each line).
795
[161e268]796* (Unix version): RPMs now have the docs in /usr/share/doc and the man pages
797  in /usr/share/man to conform with the FHS (and where RedHat packages put
798  them).
799
[06e94a8]800* Updates to French, Spanish, Catalan, and Slovak translations.
[b10788f]801
[732b9b0]802Changes in 1.0.8:
803
[b6de07d]804* Slovak translation added; updated German, Catalan, and Spanish translations.
805
[fa42426]806* aven: reduced memory usage by around 25% and increased speed and
807  responsiveness.
[cd6ea75]808
[a8e9fde]809* aven: rate of rotation and switching between plan and elevation now adjusted
810  to the speed of redraw, so aven behaves in a similar way independent of the
811  speed of the computer or size of the survey.
812
[75993b9]813* aven: provide list of most recently loaded files (preserved between runs of
814  the program).
[6804731]815
816* aven: settings for "Metric" and "Degrees" are preserved between runs.
[732b9b0]817
[8ac4406]818* aven: moved some menu items from "View" to "Controls" as they probably
819  belong there and the "View" menu was getting out of hand.
820
[c8c116c]821* aven: cursor keys now translate cave in the same way the mouse does (i.e. now
822  work as in caverot and xcaverot).
823
[6df24ee]824* aven: eliminated the "twinkling label" effect when dragging the cave with the
825  right mouse button.
826
[fa42426]827* aven: the measuring line moves much more smoothly now: the mouse cursor now
828  snaps to the nearest station, rather than just a near station; and when the
829  line moves, we now only redraw the affected area of the window.
[2173dbd]830
[b6de07d]831* aven: resolved annoying limit on zooming in on large surveys.  This was a
832  crude way of preventing random lines due to overflow in the windowing system.
833  Aven now clips lines itself at high zoom levels, and limits zoom in to
834  approximately 1mm/pixel.
835
836* aven: zoom in/out with keyboard wasn't subject to any limits - now restricted
837  to sane values as with zoom in/out with the mouse.
838
[5fa68cc5]839* print*: added --raw switch to turn of info box, scale bar, and page footer.
840  This can be useful if you want to import the output into another application.
[1a09e2c]841
[5b7c1b7]842* print*: improved output when --no-border is used.
[3fb572e]843
[2001db9]844* printpcl/printdm: Added new .ini setting "font_bitmap" which allows the user
845  to choose between alternative fonts.  Current we supply "default" and "bold".
846
[fa42426]847* printps/printhpgl: Fixed --skip-blanks which would incorrectly skip non-blank
848  pages on rare occasions.
849
[11e919a]850* cavern: added support for BackCompass and BackClino.
[5b7c1b7]851
[fa42426]852* cavern: implemented "*units clino percent".
[c9eb197]853
[0580c6a]854* cavern: added "*infer exports on".  Any stations seen while this is on will
[c00c74a9]855  have the necessary *export-s inferred when accessed from outside their
856  own survey.  This allows linking a survey which uses *export to one which
857  doesn't.  It's also useful for a maze cave where so many stations can
858  be linked to that listing them explicitly isn't desirable.
859
[fa42426]860* cavern: N-S, E-W, and vertical ranges now only count stations which are in
861  underground surveys.
862
[0b71cfc]863* cavern: *infer plumbs wasn't inferring -90 to be DOWN - fixed.
864
[c00c74a9]865* cavern: *infer was giving an internal error if the argument was unknown -
866  now it gives the correct error message.
867
[fa42426]868* cavern: fixed handling of omitted clino readings when OMIT is *set to be
869  different from MINUS and PLUS (new test omitclino).
870
[b14f44f]871* cavern: fixed a bogus warning for any station which was only used in a line
872  of data which was rejected because of an error.
873
[fa42426]874* cavern: added error if the *units factor is zero (e.g. "*units tape 0 feet").
875
[b14f44f]876* cavern: removed the ill-thought-out and never implemented LENGTHOUTPUT
877  and ANGLEOUTPUT quantities.
878
[770157e]879* cavern: resolved mismatch between bcra5.svx and the default SDs, and the
880  odd values in bcra3.svx.  We are now interpreting the BCRA limits as 2
881  standard deviations (previously bcra5.svx used 3 sds, bcra3 used 3.33 sds for
882  tape and position, and .75 sds for compass and clino, and cavern used 1 sd
883  by default).
884
[a20b208]885* ChangeLog now only includes entries since the previous release (the full file
[9cc3854]886  is 220K or so, and of interest to very few people).  MSDOS and MS Windows
[b14f44f]887  versions now comfortably fit on a 1.44M floppy once again.
[9cc3854]888
[b6de07d]889* Test suite now checks that all programs will run successfully with "--help"
890  and with "--version".  This should avoid problems such as that which broke
891  the printer drivers in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
[a20b208]892
[fa42426]893* (Unix version): uninstalled binaries now use the path they are run with to
894  find support files, which means SURVEXHOME is no longer required, and has
895  been removed.
896
[7c41b21]897Changes in 1.0.7:
898
899* print*: halted with a failed assertion in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
900
[cd8d79a]901Changes in 1.0.6:
902
903* aven: "Reverse Controls" now works as in xcaverot and caverot.
904
905* aven: free rotation mode (engage by pressing control while left dragging,
906  exit with Delete) improved.
907
[30987bd]908* aven: using File->Open when a file was already loaded caused a crash
909  if a station was "grey highlighted" in the survey tree - fixed.
910
[e98af57]911* aven: added hourglass for "find" operation.
912
[0edb0d0]913* aven: reenabled loading of files by drag-and-drop (accidentally disabled
914  in 1.0.4 and 1.0.5).
915
[303a525]916* aven: improved handling of flat surveys (e.g. output of extend, surveys
917  with no clino information).
918
[12d0d1b]919* aven: surveys with stations but no legs no longer cause the labels and
920  crosses buttons to behave oddly.
921
[2c30188]922* aven: removed quite a bit of unused and superfluous code.
923
[3d5fb53]924* Spell-checked documentation.
925
[c637fad]926Changes in 1.0.5:
927
928* Fixed bug in img_open_survey() which could cause a crash if you tried to
[88c780d]929  open an unrecognised file (i.e. not .3d, .pos, .plt, or .xyz format).
930
931* North and East were the wrong way round when reading in .plt files.
[c637fad]932
[5173649]933* cad3d: Improved .plt file output a little - there's probably enough file
934  structure for Compass to read them now.
935
[f9dc4a0]936* Documentation updates.
937
[ea1c342]938Changes in 1.0.4:
939
[64511c0]940* extend: previously only kept one name for an equated group of stations in the
941  extended .3d file; now keeps all the names.
942
[b387524]943* cad3d: if an output filename is given, use its extension to pick the default
944  output format.
945
[ba2c5b1]946* aven: movement with keyboard is now accelerated by Shift as in caverot.
947
[f3ed07f]948* print*: --no-borders fixed to work as documented; --no-cutlines added to
949  turn off the dashed lines where pages join on multi-page printouts.
[80f17e0]950
[189f179]951* aven: tracked down two uninitialised variables which seems to fix the
952  failure to load a survey on startup which some people have been experiencing
953  on Microsoft Windows.
954
955* aven: code cleaned up - should improve performance a little.
[9f3e5df]956
957* img routines: img_rewind() now returns a value indicating success/failure.
958
[f1c7c9c7]959* Improvements to .plt file reading, notably that distances in the file are
960  now interpreted as being in feet rather than metres.  Also .plt files should
961  now be recognised even with a different extension, and we cope with an odd
962  special case better.
963
964* Added support for reading CMAP XYZ files.  There are two variants of these
965  - the "shot" format is fully implemented, the "station" format currently
966  just reads the station names and positions - the legs are ignored (sadly
967  the sample files I have do not match the format specification).
[4ebc557]968
[80f17e0]969* (MacOS X version): aven: aven now builds on MacOS X - we just need to sort

[de5f18d]1033* (MS Windows version): aven: changed current point highlighting in the
[35001ee]1034  survey tree to use a light grey background rather than bold (bold causes

1041
[fe282c2]1042* (Unix version): GCC 2.95 sometimes fails with an internal error when trying
1043  to compile gfxcore.cc - if it does, the Makefile will now try recompiling
1044  with a lower optimisation level.
1045
[8f2c870]1046* (Unix version): when doing an "in directory" build from source, the HTML
1047  manual is now installed in its own subdirectory as when doing a non
