[b9c665b]1Changes in 1.4.12 (2024-10-23):
2
3* aven:
4
5  + (Microsoft Windows version): Geodata overlays are (hopefully temporarily)
6    no longer available in the pre-built version of Survex installed by the
7    Microsoft Windows installer.  We use the GDAL library to load them and
8    there's a hard to debug problem during DLL initialisation somewhere in its
9    dependency tree.  If you really need geodata overlays, the 1.4.9 installer
10    still works.  Thanks to Wookey for extensive testing to investigate the
11    problem, and to everyone else who reported this.
12
13* cavern:
14
15  + A leg with the same station as from and to is now only a warning in
16    Compass data.  Compass itself seems to quietly ignore such legs, but
17    they seem worth warning about.  In native Survex data this is still
18    an error.
19
20  + Short survey and station names are now stored without an extra memory
21    allocation.  On a 64-bit platform (most modern computers) we can store
22    name components up to 7 characters in this way; on a 32-bit platform
23    up to 3 characters.  On a large dataset which needs large matrices
24    solving this reduces cavern's memory usage by 3.5MB (~4.5%).  It's
25    also fractionally faster (but only ~0.05% which is not normally even
26    measurable).
27
28  + Assigning matrix row numbers to stations is now faster and allocates
29    less memory.
30
31* (Microsoft Windows version): The Microsoft Windows installer is now
32  named `survex-microsoft-windows-1.4.12.exe`.  The old name was
33  `survex-win32-1.4.11.exe` but the "win32" is now misleading as it's been a
34  64-bit build since 1.4.9.  Reported by Wookey.
35
36* Testsuite:
37
38  + dump3d.tst: Add tests of img library's survey filtering.
39
40  + cavern.tst: Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in JSON test output before
41    comparing with expected output.  We can get -0.00 on x86 due to excess
42    precision.
43
44* img library:
45
46  + Survey filtering now works correctly for files which use a survey level
47    separator other than `.`.  Patch https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/14
48    from Thomas Holder.
49
50  + Reading a v7 or earlier .3d format extended elevation with survey filtering
51    was failing to set is_extended_elevation.
52
[0249518]53Changes in 1.4.11 (2024-08-14):
[92debc5]54
55* aven:
56
57  + Add imperial scales for export and printing.  Fixes #132, reported by Eric
58    C. Landgraf.
59
60* aven/survexport:
61
62  + HPGL export now uses pen 2 for splays and pen 3 for surface legs.  Partly
63    addresses #60.
64
65  + HPGL export now supports scaling (previous the scale was always
66    1:40000).
67
[0249518]68  + KML export now distinguishes surface legs and splays using different
69    line styles.  Partly addresses #60.
70
[92debc5]71  + Remove Skencil export support.  The last release of Skencil was in 2005.
72    There was an attempt to revive the project in 2010, but that didn't lead to
73    another release and seems to have petered out.  No current Linux distro (or
74    other package system) seems to have Skencil packages, and the current git
75    version still appears to require Python 2 which is being phased out.
76
77* cavern:
78
79  + Support `*data ignore` to allow ignoring a block of survey data lines.
80    Closes #114, reported by Alastair Gott.
81
82  + Report error for bad final reading in `*data` command (previously such a
83    bad reading was quietly ignored).
84
85  + If the survey in `*end` doesn't match that in `*begin` the location of
86    that `*begin` is now reported as well - the second message here is new
87    for example:
88
89     badbegin.svx:6:8: error: Survey name doesn't match BEGIN
90      *end   bar
91             ^~~
92     badbegin.svx:4:13: info: Corresponding BEGIN was here
93      *begin      foo
94                  ^~~
95
96  + Now shows a context line for a reading which was on the previous line,
97    which can happen for interleaved data styles.
98
99  + Warn when a token is not followed by a blank, comment or end of line.
100    This is an unintentional tokenisation oddity which has been present
101    for a really long time.  We don't want to break files that rely on this
102    (even if they likely only do accidentally) so emit a warning rather than
103    an error.
104
105    This warning can easily be eliminated by adding a space where indicated,
106    which will work with old and new Survex versions.  Fixes #135.
107
108  + Errors and warnings which report an unexpected token now report a
109    contiguous span of letters and numbers rather than just letters in cases
110    where a number can't follow (which is the majority of cases).
111
112  + If `*require` isn't satisfied, the `*require` line is now shown for
113    context (especially helpful if there's a comment after the command noting
114    the reason for the requirement, as we now suggest in the manual).
115
116  + `*require` version parsing improved - spaces are no longer tolerated in
117    a version number and trailing junk after the version number is now
118    handled more consistently.
119
120  + Fixed several situations in which the highlighting of the context for a
121    diagnostic was off by a small number of columns.
122
123  + Optimise building of matrix during network solving.
124
[0249518]125  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files:
[92debc5]126
127    - After reporting an error for an unsupported datum, we now set the datum
128      to WGS84 to prevent triggering further errors from code which tries to
129      use the datum.
130
131    - Parse Walls WPJ commands as alphanumeric rather than alphabetic tokens,
132      which better matches how Walls parses them.  This only makes a difference
133      in the error message when we don't recognise a WPJ command.
134
135* Documentation:
136
137  + Note `feet` are international feet and how to select a different
138    definition in `*units` docs.
139
140  + Document `grads` are also known as "neugrads" and "gons" in `*units` docs.
141
142* Assorted translation updates.
143
144* testsuite:
145
146  + Fix bug in normalisation of `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before
147    comparing with expected output.
148
149* Update and improve vim syntax highlighting:
150
151  + `*cartesian` added
[0249518]152
[92debc5]153  + `*data ignore` added
[0249518]154
[92debc5]155  + `mils` units now highlighted as deprecated
[0249518]156
[92debc5]157  + `UP` and `DOWN` are no longer highlighted anywhere in a command
[0249518]158
[92debc5]159  + `U`, `D`, `LEVEL`, `-V`, `+V`, `.`, `..` and `...` now highlighted in data
160    lines
[0249518]161
[92debc5]162  + Repeated `NOT` in `*flags` is now highlighted as an error
[0249518]163
[92debc5]164  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to not flag an error just
165    because there's a comment after the filename
[0249518]166
[92debc5]167  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to work when there's
168    whitespace between `*` and `include`
169
[63a37be]170Changes in 1.4.10 (2024-08-05):
[6082f2a]171
172* aven:
173
174  + Use a fixed rotation rate for rotating the view to North, South, East or
175    West (shortcut keys `N`, `S`, `E` and `W`).  We were using the same
176    variable rate which auto-rotation does for this case, but really these are
177    just animations to help the user see the change that's happening, so a
178    fixed rate makes more sense (and is what tilting to plan or elevation
179    does).  The new fixed rotation rate for this is double what the default
180    variable rate was, which means the longest rotation (e.g. from S to N)
181    takes 3 seconds rather than 6.
182
183* aven/survexport:
184
185  + Fix syntax of shot flags in PLT export (incorrect since introduced in
186    1.4.6).
187
188  + Map Survex duplicate flag to `L` shot flag in PLT export.
189
190  + Invent shorter names for anonymous stations in PLT export.  The PLT file
191    format documentation says station names can be up to 12 characters, but the
192    ones we generated were longer than this which is liable to trip up
193    consumers of this format that only allow for the specified length.
194    We now generate names using a sequential counter with a two character
195    prefix so they should fit in the 12 character limit for any cave
196    survey.
197
198  + 3D export now includes all leg and station flags.
199
200* cavern:
201
202  + Unconnected survey stations are now handled as a warning, whereas
203    previously this was an error.  This is necessary when processing Walls data
204    where it seems having hanging surveys is the norm, and Walls itself only
205    warns about them.
206
207    The support is also enabled for native Survex data since it allows viewing
208    the connected parts of a survey with missing connections without having to
209    comment out the unconnected parts (and then remember to fully uncomment
210    once connections are surveyed).  Fixes #16, reported by Duncan Collis.
211
212    Currently the component count and loop count are not shown in this case.
213
214  + Avoid multiple reports of an unconnected survey station.  This could happen
215    in some cases where a group of equated stations had more than four legs
216    connected to it.
217
218  + Fix missing report of unconnected survey station.  We aim to report at
219    least one station in every unconnected piece of survey, but if a piece had
220    been simplified to a single station which was anonymous (e.g. a disto splay
221    shot) then we wouldn't report anything for that piece.  Now we find the
222    traverse that was attached to it and report the next station along that
223    traverse.
224
225  + Report file and line location each unconnected survey station.
226
227  + This warning now says either `*entrance` or `*export` depending on which
228    it actually was:
229
230      Station "bar.1" referred to by *entrance or *export but never used
231
232  + Fix several cases of mishandling comments without blanks before them:
233
234    - After an anonymous station.
235
236    - After an ignored reading.  The `ignore` would incorrectly also skip the
237      comment character and any characters which followed up to the next blank
238      or end of line.
239
240    - In a `*alias` command.
241
242    - Diagnostic highlighting could continue into a comment.
243
244  + New `*cartesian` command which supports different orientations of
245    `cartesian` style data.
246
[b49bd46]247  + Anonymous stations are now supported in `cartesian` style data.
248
[6082f2a]249  + `*fix a reference` (without any coordinates) is now an error.  The
250    `reference` token provides a way to have a list of known fixed points which
251    are not expected to all be currently used, while omitting the coordinates
252    provides a way to specify a point to arbitrarily fix rather than rely on
253    cavern picking one.  Allowing both together doesn't really make sense.
254
255  + Improve check for 180° backclino to suppress the warning about a compass
256    reading on a plumbed leg (introduced in 1.4.8) to allow a small tolerance
257    on the value.  Previously the check wasn't working on x86 Linux for
258    example.
259
[b49bd46]260  + When showing a line as the location of a diagnostic we now render any
261    tab character as a single space which means the `^~~~~` highlight length
262    is now correct even when the highlighted part contains tabs.  This only
263    affects use from a terminal as the highlight was already correctly handled
264    when viewing the log in aven.
265
[9fcaec0]266  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files (thanks to Eric
267    C. Landgraf and Joe for a lot of great feedback from testing with large
268    datasets):
[6082f2a]269
[b49bd46]270    - The `RECT=` option is now fully supported.
[6082f2a]271
272    - Fix `#DATE` with an active `.REF` to act like `DECL=`.  This matches what
[9fcaec0]273      the documentation says and what Walls seems to actually do.
[6082f2a]274
275    - Allow completely omitting the clino on a wall shot (with `ORDER=DAV` or
[9fcaec0]276      `ORDER=ADV`).
[6082f2a]277
278    - Resolve WPJ `.PATH` relative to innermost containing book.
279
280    - Handle an empty Walls station name.  Walls allows a station with an
281      explicit prefix to have an empty name, e.g. `PEP:`.  The Walls
282      documentation doesn't mention this, though it also doesn't explicitly say
283      the name can't be empty.  This quirk seems unlikely to be intentionally
284      used and Survex doesn't allow an empty station name, so we issue a
285      warning and use the name `empty name` (which has a space in, so can't
286      collide with a real Walls station name which can't contain a space) - so
[9fcaec0]287      `PEP:` in Walls becomes `PEP.empty name` in Survex.
[6082f2a]288
[9fcaec0]289    - Flag stations with explicit Walls prefix as exported.
[6082f2a]290
291    - Fix setting empty Walls macro with a comment right after it.
292
293    - Walls quietly ignores junk after the numeric argument in `TYPEAB=`,
294      `TYPEVB=`, `UV=`, `UVH=`, and `UVV=`.  This seems to be an undocumented
[9fcaec0]295      feature/bug so Survex emits a warning and skips the junk.
[6082f2a]296
297    - After an unknown Walls option we now process the rest of the line.
298      Previously we were skipping the rest of the line.
299
300    - We no longer skip the rest of the line after a bad Walls `ORDER=` option.
301
302    - Correct the reported column for some Walls option diagnostics.
303
[9fcaec0]304    - Support explicit units on Walls clino readings.
[6082f2a]305
306    - Allow `#` in Walls station names.  This is explicitly documented as not
307      allowed, but the documentation doesn't match the implementation and `#`
[9fcaec0]308      is present in some real-world data.
[6082f2a]309
310    - Improve handling of Walls `RESTORE` error.  Highlight the position in the
311      line and don't skip the rest of the line.
312
313    - Don't warn about `INCH=` with a zero argument since that's the one case
314      of it we do handle!
315
316    - Fix not to skip the rest of the line after Walls `INCH=` option.
317      We currently don't support `INCH=` so we warn about it, but we were
318      skipping the rest of the line, then trying to read and discard the
[9fcaec0]319      argument to `INCH=` which gave an error.
[6082f2a]320
321    - Relax handling of Walls `CASE=`.  It's not documented, but Walls32.exe
[9fcaec0]322      quietly treats unknown values as "Mixed".
[6082f2a]323
[1f5f8c1]324    - Support DM and DMS format for latitude and longitude in Walls `#FIX`,
325      e.g. `W97:43.875` and `W97:43:52.5` .
326
327    - Treat a zero length leg with finite variance like a Survex `*equate`.
328
[b49bd46]329    - Apply Walls variance overrides to survey legs.
[1f5f8c1]330
331    - The optional instrument and target heights are now parsed, but their
332      values are currently ignored.
333
334    - The delimiters around LRUD data are now parsed, but the LRUD data between
335      them is currently ignored.
336
[5bf6f21]337    - If a `#SEGMENT` value looks like a set of Compass shot flags (i.e.
338      consists only of upper case characters from `CLPSX`, optionally prefixed
339      with a `/` or `\`) then we interpret them as Compass shot flags (except
340      that `X` is mapped the same way as `L`).  This is apparently a common way
341      to use `#SEGMENT`, and unlikely to be triggered accidentally.
[b49bd46]342
[9fcaec0]343    - Avoid a doubled directory separator when building Walls path names.
344
[6082f2a]345* documentation:
346
347  + The manual has been converted from DocBook to reStructured Text.  The
[1f5f8c1]348    plain-text format is much easier for making changes, and for users the
349    output from sphinx looks nicer and has extra features (like built-in
350    "Quick search" in the HTML output).
[6082f2a]351
352    The plain text version of the manual is no longer generated.  Sphinx can
353    produce one but the .rst sources actually seem more readable for anyone
354    wanting to read the manual in plain text.
355
356    The extra targets to generate the manual in RTF and PostScript
357    have been dropped as I doubt they are still used (we stopped
358    providing them on the website years ago).  They could probably be
359    reinstated if there's a demand for them.
360
[63a37be]361    The conversion was partly automated followed by a full pass over the
[6082f2a]362    result fixing issues with the automated conversion.  We took the
363    opportunity to also review the content and update or remove out of
364    date and other incorrect information, and to reorder some of the content.
365
[c4366d6]366  + Document all the statistics in the `.err` file
367
[6082f2a]368  + Document PLT export.
369
[b49bd46]370  + Minor improvements to --help output
371
[6082f2a]372  + The HTML version of the 1.4.9 manual was missing the Walls chapter
373    and had messed up paging links around it (due to the new CMAP chapter
374    accidentally also being given the filename `walls.htm`).  Reported by Eric
375    C. Landgraf.
376
377  + Document we don't enforce Walls' station or prefix length limits.
378
379  + Document handling of Walls `#NOTE`.
380
381  + Fix documentation of Walls `FLAG=` which is correctly handled, not skipped.
382
[b49bd46]383  + Document how to compare Walls and Survex output via Shapefile.
384
385  + Document how to suppress unused fixed point warning in Walls SRV.
[6082f2a]386
387* testsuite:
388
389  + Add testcase for Walls `#units order=da`.
390
391  + Add expected output for more testcases
392
393  + Add testcase for exporting .3d files.
394
[b49bd46]395  + Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before comparing to avoid bogus
396    test failures due to excess precision on x86 when using 387 FP
397    instructions.
398
399  + Add test of DXF export with full coordinates.
[6082f2a]400
401* translations:
402
403  + Diagnostics can now use positional arguments which sometimes allows a
[63a37be]404    more natural word order in a translated message.
[6082f2a]405
[532ff49]406Changes in 1.4.9 (2024-07-04):
[c009b32a]407
408* aven:
409
[532ff49]410  + Support showing geodata overlays in Aven.  We use the GDAL library to load
411    the data, so this should work for any format which GDAL supports so long as
412    it can be read from the filing system and is geo-referenced vector data -
413    see https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html for a list.  Currently the
414    dialog to select a file defaults to showing GPX, KML, GeoJSON and shape
415    files - set the filter to "All Files" to chose other formats.
[c009b32a]416
417  + Reimplement display of cavern output.  The old version turned the log into
418    HTML and displayed it using wxHtmlWindow, but that adds a lot of overhead
419    and is especially inefficient if there are many diagnostics - cavern could
420    finish almost instantly yet aven could take many seconds to process the
421    output.  The new version renders directly from the log data.  It should
422    have most of the features from before - the only missing feature I'm
423    currently aware of is that you can't now select and copy text from the log
424    window, which wxHtmlWindow provided for free.  If people miss this feature,
425    we could add it to the new implementation.
426
[532ff49]427  + (Microsoft Windows version): Clicks in the cavern log window which load
428    files into an editor now protect the filename if it starts with a dash
429    to prevent it being interpreted as a command line option.  We already
430    do this for other platforms, but weren't on Microsoft Windows on the
431    assumption that it isn't needed because the filenames will be fully
432    qualified, but that may not be the case if aven if run by hand from the
433    command line or from some other launcher.
434
[c009b32a]435* cavern:
436
437  + Add support for processing Walls format survey data (.SRV and .WPJ files).
438    This support is somewhat experimental but at a point where it seems useful
439    to make it easier for people to try out.  See the manual for a list of
440    known shortcomings.  Thanks to Eric C. Landgraf for a lot of testing and
441    encouragement.
442
[26bdac6]443  + Fix bug with Compass DAT diving data.  If a survey uses the depth gauge
444    then since 1.4.6 we set its style to "diving", but we weren't clearing that
445    so all surveys after than in the same DAT file were also set as "diving".
446
447  + When parsing of Compass DAT files we report errors in more cases if the
448    input doesn't conform to the format we expect, rather than potentially
449    quietly misinterpreting the data.
450
[c009b32a]451  + *entrance now suppresses "Unused fixed point" warning.  This warning is
452    intended to catch typos, which is much less likely for a station named
453    twice.  It's also reasonable to use only *fix and *entrance on a station at
454    the entrance of an unsurveyed cave.
455
456  + Highlight plumbed clino readings fully in diagnostics.  Now the full reading
457    is highlighted instead of just the first character.
458
459  + Report location of previous fix after "already fixed" error/warning.
460
461  + Use "info" diagnostic category for "Originally entered here" message.  This
462    is more logical as the original *begin isn't something to be warned about,
463    only the reentering is.  This was only a warning before because we didn't
464    used to have "info" diagnostics.
465
466  + Use "info" diagnostic category for message about not reporting further
467    uses of a deprecated feature.  Previously this was a warning, but the newer
468    "info" category is more appropriate here.
469
470  + The message about inventing a fixed point is now an "info" diagnostic which
471    allows us to report a location which is where that station is defined,
472    which may be useful to the user.
473
474  + Make highlighting position in error reporting more robust.  We no longer
475    try to highIight if we calculate a negative column offset, when previously
476    we would print billions of spaces.  As far as I know this has never
477    happened in a released version.
478
[532ff49]479  + Error messages which report the program name now remove any ".exe" suffix.
480    This helps the testsuite by making the expected output the same
481    cross-platform, but also seems slightly nicer for users.
482
483* dump3d:
484
485  + The timestamp reported by DATE_NUMERIC is now printed portably.  Previously
486    we were assuming that a time_t is the same size as a long int, which is not
487    true on all platforms.
488
[c009b32a]489* manual:
490
491  + (Microsoft Windows version): Update information about installation
492    with/without admin rights.
493
[26bdac6]494  + Summarise support for reading CMAP data and its assumptions and
495    limitations.
496
[c009b32a]497  + Mention Compass, Walls and CMAP support in the importing data howto
498    section.
499
500  + Drop mention of Rosetta Stal from the manual.  The referred to link from
501    our website was removed in 2015 because Rosetta Stal hadn't been updated
502    for 13.5 years at that point.  Now the domain it was available from has
503    lapsed and is a domain squatter "for sale" page.
504
[fa2c485d]505* img library:
506
507  + The coordinates in CMAP data are in feet but we were dividing rather
508    than multiplying by the conversion factor to get metres so all
509    coordinates were about 10.76 times too large.
510
[26bdac6]511  + Stations in CMAP "station" variant XYZ files are now flagged as
512    underground (as they always have been for "shot" variant XYZ files).
513
514  + When reading CMAP XYZ files, we no longer emit duplicate img_LABEL for
515    stations in loops.
516
517  + A CMAP XYZ file without a survey title is now handled correctly (this was
518    reporting a bogus "Out of memory" error).
519
[532ff49]520  + The img.h header now defines constants IMG_VERSION_SURVEX_POS, etc for the
521    values reported in the version field for non-.3d formats.
522
523  + (Microsoft Windows version): Workaround limitation of Microsoft's C
524    library so we handle dates before 1970 in Compass PLT files, CMAP XYZ
525    files, and older format .3d files.  Previously these were reported
526    as "unknown date".
527
528* We now support overriding the location of support files by setting the
529  SURVEXLIB environment variable.  We no longer look at the srcdir
530  environment variable for this.
531
532* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created automatically
533  on Github actions, which has required a few changes.  It now packages a
534  64-bit build, and is created with Innosetup 6.3.2 which no longer supports
535  Vista.  The installer is also now significantly larger, which is mostly
536  because we now need to include a large number of DLLs, most of which are
537  dependencies of the mingw64 FFmpeg and GDAL packages.
538
539* (Microsoft Windows version): If the directory where we expect the PROJ
540  support files to be does not exist for some reason we now avoid triggering
541  a segmentation fault in PROJ.
542
[c009b32a]543* Build system:
544
545  + The GDAL library is now required to build Survex.
546
[532ff49]547  + (Microsoft Windows version): The probe for GL and GLU libraries now also
548    checks for Microsoft's non-standard library names.
549
550  + Correct configure --help output for --enable-werror for which the default
551    is actually "no" rather than "maintainer-mode".
552
553* testsuite:
554
555  + aven.tst: Skip a testcase when running on mingw as it seems to hang there.
556    We already skip this testcase on macos for what appears to be the same
557    problem.
558
559  + Fix comparison of output to work on platforms using DOS line endings.
560
[ff1859c]561Changes in 1.4.8 (2024-04-23):
562
563* cavern:
564
565  + The warning for a compass reading on a plumbed leg was already suppressed
566    for a compass or backcompass reading of 0, but is now also suppressed for a
567    backcompass of 180° (or equivalent) which seems to be common in some Compass
568    datasets, but also seems sensible generally.  Thanks to Simeon Warner for
569    sharing some data which triggered such warnings.
570
571  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name is now also
572    emitted in the case where a name was used first for a station, and then as
573    a survey on an explicitly prefixed name.  Closes
574    https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4, reported by Thomas Holder.
575
576  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name now highlights
577    the problematic name within the line shown for context.
578
579  + Fix the reported token string reported by some errors with readings.  This
580    happened to work on at least x86-64 Linux, but the code was invalid and
581    failed on some architectures.
582
583* Fix to build with newer FFmpeg versions.
584
585* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now offers the choice to install
586  for just the current user, which allows installing Survex without admin
587  rights.
588
589* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix problems with valid coordinate systems being
590  rejected and aven's cavern log window not showing output.  Reported by
591  Peter Mašič, Špela Borko, Răzvan Dumbravă and detrito.  Thanks especially to
592  Špela Borko for a lot of testing to help track down the cause.
593
[cca63ece]594Changes in 1.4.7 (2024-04-07):
595
596* cavern:
597
598  + When using *declination auto we report the range of calculated declinations
599    for each location specified.  After doing this we now reset the range
600    information we're tracking.  Previously we'd misreport the range for
601    the second and subsequent locations.
602
603  + Avoid undefined behaviour on handling filename fallback for filenames
604    containing non-ASCII characters.
605
606  + Show context line with relevant item highlighted for more errors and
607    warnings.
608
609  + The dynamic string handling routines are now more efficient.
610
611  + Fix memory leak if a Compass MAK file opens folders it doesn't close.
612
613  + Fix handling of clino-less legs in Compass DAT.  These would cause cavern
614    to fail with a lot of "NaN" messages.  Now they're treated as having a zero
615    clino with a standard deviation based on the leg length, just like in .svx
616    files.
617
618* img library:
619
620  + Compass PLT: Treat LRUD readings > 900 as omitted readings, which matches
621    what Compass does.  Thanks to Larry Fish for clarifying this.
622
623  + Avoid undefined behaviour after realloc().  We were adjusting a pointer
624    within the reallocated block by subtracting the old block address and
625    adding on the new one.  Technically this is undefined behaviour, although
626    in practice it seems likely it'll work and we've not seen misbehaviour due
627    to it.  However it's easy to avoid by calculating the offset before the
628    realloc().
629
630* Portability:
631
632  + Provide prototype for getopt() to avoid warnings with very recent compiler
633    versions.
634
635  + Avoid using sprintf(), which now triggers warnings on some platforms.
636
637* Build system:
638
639  + Add configure --enable-werror option to turn compiler warnings into errors.
640
[1fbe219e]641* Manual:
642
643  + Expand details of Compass MAK CRS support.
644
645  + Replace very out of date information about binary RPM packages.
[cca63ece]646
647* Minor translation updates.
648
649* (Microsoft Windows version): Now uses PROJ 9.3.0 and ships all of the
650  ancillary files that PROJ comes with.  Hoping this fixes use of coordinate
651  system EPSG:3912 failing, which was reported by Peter Mašič but I've not
652  managed to reproduce.
653
[bad7f1a]654Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-03-07):
[752a9f5]655
656* cavern:
657
658  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
659    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
660    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
661    mailing list.
[7bc4300]662
[752a9f5]663  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
664    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
665    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
666    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
667
[bad7f1a]668  + When opening a file, cavern has fallback handling if the file isn't found
669    to help people processing datasets from platforms with case-insensitive
670    file systems.  Previously cavern would fold the filename to lowercase and
671    retry.  Now if this fails, it will also try the lower case version but
672    with the initial character of the leaf in upper case, and finally folding
673    the whole specified filename to upper case.
674
675  + Dynamically pick a suitable level separator character and store it in .3d
676    file, instead of it being hard-coded to '.' (we still use '.' unless it
677    has been *set as a "name" character, or for Compass DAT/MAK files unless it
678    has been used in a station name).  This is a step towards addressing the
679    situations raised by Thomas Holder in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4
680    and https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/5 .
681
[9e62108]682  + Compass DAT files:
[e5e93f9]683
[bad7f1a]684    - The shot flag S is now understood to indicate a splay.
685
686    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
687      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
688      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
689      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
690      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
691      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
692
[9e62108]693    - Surveys which indicate a depth gauge was used for azimuth readings are
694      now marked as STYLE_DIVING in the 3d file.
[e5e93f9]695
[bad7f1a]696    - Compass and clino corrections are now implemented for backsights.
[e5e93f9]697
[9e62108]698    - The tape correction in Compass DAT files is now handled correctly.  The
699      specified value is in feet, but cavern was incorrectly treating it as
700      being in metres.
701
702    - We now handle the newer 15 character "FORMAT:" encoding.  Previously
703      cavern wouldn't detect when there were backsights in this case.
704
705    - We now treat survey date January 1st 1901 as "no date specified" since
706      this is the date Compass stores in this situation, and it seems very
707      unlikely to occur in real data.
708
709    - In Compass DAT files a dummy zero-length leg from a station to itself is
710      used to provide a place to specify LRUD for the start or end of a
711      traverse (depending if dimensions are measured at the from or to
712      station), and so we no longer issue a warning about equating a station to
713      itself for DAT files.
714
715  + Compass MAK files:
716
[bad7f1a]717    - The base location command is now understood.  This is how Compass
718      specifies a location to calculate magnetic declination at, and we
719      now handle this like Survex's native "*declination auto X Y Z".
720
[9d6646a]721    - Survex uses the specified UTM zone and datum provided the combination can
722      be expressed as an EPSG code (lack of any EPSG codes for a datum suggests
723      it's obsolete; lack of a code for a particular datum+zone combination
724      suggests the zone is outside of the defined area of use of the datum).
725      Example Compass files we've seen use "North American 1927" outside of
726      where it's defined for use, presumably because some users fail to change
727      the datum from Compass' default.  To enable reading such files we return
728      a PROJ4 string of the form "+proj=utm ..." for "North American 1927" and
729      "North American 1983" for UTM zones which don't have an EPSG code.
730      Please let us know if support for additional cases which aren't currently
731      supported would be useful to you.
[e5e93f9]732
[bad7f1a]733    - Folder commands are now understood.
[7bc4300]734
[bad7f1a]735    - Flag fixed stations as entrances.  Experimentation with Compass shows
736      this is how it treats them ("distance from entrance" in a .DAT file
737      counts from 0 at these points).
[9e62108]738
[bad7f1a]739  + We now support reading Compass CLP files.  These are very like DAT files,
740    except they contain loop-closed data.  You might find this useful if you
741    want to keep existing stations at the same adjusted positions Compass gave
742    (for example to be able to draw extensions on an existing drawn-up survey),
743    or if the original DAT file has been lost but you still have the CLP file.
[9e62108]744
[bad7f1a]745* aven:
[7bc4300]746
[bad7f1a]747  + Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
748    Philip Balister.
[7bc4300]749
[bad7f1a]750  + Split the filters for DAT and MAK files in the File->Open drop down list.
751    It seems more likely you'd want to see one type or the other, not both
752    together.
[7bc4300]753
[bad7f1a]754* aven/survexport:
[7bc4300]755
[bad7f1a]756  + Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
[b1c66e1]757
[bad7f1a]758  + .json,.kml: Enable export of surface legs.  Currently surface and
759    underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats when both
760    are enabled.
[7bc4300]761
[bad7f1a]762  + .3d: The coordinate system is now set.
763
764  + .svg: Equated stations now get their correct names in the id attribute
765    of <circle> tags.  Previously one of the names would be repeated for
766    all of a set of equated stations.
767
768  + .plt:
769
770    - Anonymous stations previously resulted in an empty name in the PLT
771      file.  This isn't explicitly disallowed by the PLT format description,
772      but Compass' viewer gives an error for such lines.  Now we invent names
773      by encoding the station coordinates which should be unique.
774
775    - The S shot flag is now set for splays, and the P shot flag (hide from
776      plotting) is set for surface legs (which matches the use suggested in the
777      Compass docs).
[e5e93f9]778
[752a9f5]779* img library:
780
781  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
782    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
783    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
784    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
785    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
786    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
787    default).
788
[9e62108]789  + Improve Compass PLT support (many of these are Compass features added
790    since Survex's support for Compass was originally added):
791
792    - Survey dates are now handled fully.  We treat survey date January 1st
793      1901 as "no date specified" since this is the date Compass stores in this
794      situation, and it seems very unlikely to occur in real data.
795
796    - LRUD data is now translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END.
797
798    - We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE for stations where the "Distance From
799      Entrance" field is present and zero.
800
801    - The shot flag L is now translated to img_FLAG_DUPLICATE.
802
803    - The shot flag S is now translated to img_FLAG_SPLAY.  A station at the
804      far end of a shot flagged S gets img_SFLAG_WALL set since the Compass PLT
805      format specification says:
806
807          The shot is a "splay" shot, which is a shot from a station to the
808          wall to define the passage shape.
809
810    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
811      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
812      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
813      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
814      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
815      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
816
817    - The d plot command is now supported (previously img failed to parse
818      PLT files using this command) - it's like D but implies the P shot flag.
819
820    - If a PLT file only uses one datum and it is "WGS 1984" then the UTM zone
821      is converted to the appropriate EPSG code and this is reported as the
822      coordinate system.  Other datums could be handled, but the mapping to
823      EPSG code is less simple.  Also it seems Compass supports at least
824      24 datums but it doesn't document all the strings it uses for them.
825      Files with multiple datums could be handled too, but we'd need to convert
826      coordinates to a common coordinate system in the img library, which would
827      need it to depend on PROJ.  Please let us know if support for more and/or
828      mixed datums would be useful to you.
829
830    - Duplicate img_LABEL items are no longer returned - this used to happen
831      for stations where more than two shots met within a single survey.
832
833    - We now infer img_SFLAG_EXPORTED for any station that appears in more
834      than one survey in the PLT file.
835
836    - We now set flag img_SFLAG_FIXED for any station which is listed as
837      a fixed point in the PLT file.
838
839    - If there's only one non-empty section name in a PLT file and we aren't
840      filtering by survey, we now report that section name as the title.  If
841      there are multiple different non-empty section names, we still report the
842      basename of the file as before.  If we're filtering by survey, we report
843      the comment for that survey as before.
844
845    - Fix bug handling PLT with omitted LRUD.  The format specification
846      documents that LRUD may be omitted, though it seems Compass never
847      actually omits it and at least some versions of Compass failed to handle
848      it being omitted too.
849
[bad7f1a]850* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
851
852* manual:
853
854  + Document Compass support in detail.
855
856  + Improve NATO mils example.
857
858* INSTALL:
859
860  + Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by Andrew
861    Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
862
863  + Document the requirement for a C99 compiler for building from source.
864    We made this a requirement in 1.4.2, but only noted it in NEWS.
865
866* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
867
868* Replace references to "libav" with "FFmpeg" since the libav project seems to
869  now be defunct, and we've always supported using either.
870
871* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros and drop
872  probes for features that we can safely assume now we require a C99 compiler
873  and workarounds for obsolete platforms.
874
875* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
876
[a30f7d0]877Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
[1a67f93]878
879* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
880
881* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
[a30f7d0]882  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
[1a67f93]883
884* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
885
886* Minor translation updates.
887
[269106c]888Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
889
890* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
891  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
892
893* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
894  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
895  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
896  checks that were rejecting this.
897
898  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
899  really do that's better than that.
900
901  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
902
903* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
904  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
905  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
906  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
907  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
908
909* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
910  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
911
912* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
913  bearing spin control.
914
915* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
916  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
917  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
918  currently but please report issues.
919
920* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
921  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
922  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
923  position".
924
925* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
926  Reported by echarlie
927
928* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
929
[fcf3d2e]930Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
[4c0900b]931
[4659b8a]932* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
[4c0900b]933
934* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
935  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
936
937* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
938  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
939
940* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
941  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
942
[4659b8a]943* Minor translation updates.
[4c0900b]944
[4659b8a]945* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
946  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
947  works on Wayland).
[4c0900b]948
949* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
950  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
951
[fcf3d2e]952* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
953
[4659b8a]954* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
955  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
956  Requested by Martin Budaj.
957
[a33237fd]958Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
[d2b22b1]959
960* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
961
962* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
963
[48d5a6f]964* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
965  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
966
[a33237fd]967* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
968  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
969  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
970  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
971
[48d5a6f]972* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
973  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
974  Patch from Thomas Holder.
975
976* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
977  string properly.
[d2b22b1]978
[a33237fd]979* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
980  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
981  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
982  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
983  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
984  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
985  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
986
987* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
988  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
989
990  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
991
[d2b22b1]992* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
993  where the included filename is actually specified.
994
995* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
996  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
997
[a33237fd]998* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
999  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
1000  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
1001
[48d5a6f]1002* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
1003  running on the Continuous Integration system.
1004
[a33237fd]1005* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
[84c4a07]1006  newer version of Innosetup.  This means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the
1007  minimum supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support
1008  anyway.
[a33237fd]1009
1010* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
1011  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
1012
[d2b22b1]1013* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1014
[d8f00a9]1015* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
1016  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
1017  inconvenience anyone.
1018
[570b57d]1019Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
1020
1021* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
1022
1023* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
1024  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
1025  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
1026  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
1027
1028* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
1029  in 1.4.0.
1030
1031* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
1032
[67f9739]1033Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
[3b69f29]1034
1035* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
[cccc545]1036  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
1037  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
1038  Couwenberg.
[3b69f29]1039
1040  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
1041  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
1042  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
1043  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
1044
1045  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
[e91c656]1046  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
[3b69f29]1047
1048* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
1049  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
1050  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
1051
1052* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
1053  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
1054  strings is strongly discouraged.
1055
1056  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
1057
1058  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
1059
[67f9739]1060  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
1061  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
[3b69f29]1062
1063* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
1064  Green.
1065
1066* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
1067  echarlie.
1068
1069* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
1070  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
1071  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
1072
1073* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
1074
[67f9739]1075* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
1076
[3b69f29]1077* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
1078
1079* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
1080
1081* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
1082  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
1083  stations not attached to a fixed point.
1084
[738af38]1085Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
1086
1087* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
1088  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
1089  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
1090  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
1091  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
1092
1093* aven:
1094
1095  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
1096    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
1097    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
1098    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
1099    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
1100    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
1101
1102* testsuite:
1103
1104  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
1105    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
1106    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
1107    process exits.
1108
1109* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
1110
[38bc415]1111Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
1112
1113* aven:
1114
1115  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
[f9de21a]1116
1117* cavern:
1118
[66b477f]1119  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
1120
1121  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
1122    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
1123    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
1124
[f9de21a]1125  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
1126    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
1127    until the next *data command with parameters.
1128
1129  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
1130    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
1131
1132  * Improve test coverage.
1133
1134* survexport:
1135
1136  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
1137    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
1138
1139  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
1140    Batista.
1141
1142* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
1143  Holder.
1144
[66b477f]1145* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
1146  from Thomas Holder.
1147
[f9de21a]1148* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
1149  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
1150
1151* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
1152
1153* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1154
1155* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
1156
1157* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
1158
1159* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
1160
[fe8a1b4]1161Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
1162
1163* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
1164  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
1165  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
1166
1167* aven:
1168
1169  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
1170    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
1171    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
1172
1173  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
1174    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
1175    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
1176    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
1177
1178  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
1179    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
1180    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
1181
1182  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
1183
[040c02e]1184Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
1185
1186* aven:
1187
1188  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
1189
1190  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
1191    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
1192    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
1193
1194  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
1195    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
1196    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
1197    orientation.
1198
1199* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
1200  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
1201  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
1202  Richard Knapp.
1203
1204* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
1205  might still need to use them for.
1206
1207* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
1208
1209* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
1210
1211* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
1212  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
1213  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
1214  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
1215
1216* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
1217  is now the recommended approach.
1218
[0957d63]1219Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
1220
1221* aven:
1222
1223  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1224    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
1225    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
1226    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
1227    Brian Clipstone.
1228
1229  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
1230    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
1231
[d034033]1232Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
1233
1234* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
1235  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
1236  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
1237
1238* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
1239  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
1240  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
1241  with some compilers.
1242
1243* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
1244  installed.
1245
[9fe70e44]1246Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
1247
1248* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
1249  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
1250  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
1251
1252* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
1253  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
1254  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
1255
1256* aven:
1257
1258  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
1259    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
1260    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
1261    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
1262    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
1263    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
1264    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
1265    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
1266    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
1267    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
1268    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
1269
1270  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
1271
1272* Documentation:
1273
1274  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
1275
1276  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
1277    placeholder.
1278
1279  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
1280    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
1281
1282* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
1283  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
1284  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
1285
1286* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
1287  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
1288  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
1289  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
1290  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
1291  location to avoid confusion.
1292
1293* Add a few more message translations.
1294
1295* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
1296
[66b555d]1297Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
1298
1299* cavern:
1300
1301  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
1302    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
1303    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
1304    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
1305    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
1306
1307  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
1308    now reports "file not found" instead.
1309
1310  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
1311    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
1312    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
1313
1314* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
1315
1316* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
1317  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
1318  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
1319  removed.
1320
1321* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
1322  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
1323  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
1324  information.  Patch from James Begley.
1325
[3147062]1326Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
1327
1328* aven:
1329
1330  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
1331    controllable.
1332
1333  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1334
1335  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
1336    Patch from Robert Jones.
1337
1338  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
1339    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
1340    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
1341
[0482978]1342  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
1343    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
1344
[3ed7da1]1345* cavern:
[3147062]1346
[3ed7da1]1347  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
1348    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
[3147062]1349
[3ed7da1]1350  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
1351    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
1352    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
1353    go unnoticed.
[3147062]1354
1355* survexport:
1356
1357  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
1358    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
1359    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
1360
1361  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
1362    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
1363    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
1364    Stephen Crabtree.
1365
1366* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1367
1368* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
1369  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
1370
1371* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
1372  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
1373  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
1374  therion's team command.
1375
[26ab0a7]1376Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
1377
1378* aven:
1379
1380  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
1381
1382  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
1383    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
1384    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
1385    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
1386    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
1387    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
1388    for new entrances.
1389
1390  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
1391    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
1392    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
1393    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
1394
1395  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
1396
1397  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
1398    to show via the right-click menu.
1399
1400  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
1401    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
1402    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
1403    child surveys of the parent.
1404
1405  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
1406    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
1407    survey.
1408
1409  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
1410    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
1411
1412  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
1413
1414  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
1415    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
1416
1417  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
1418    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
1419    filtering this matters more).
1420
1421* survexport:
1422
1423  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
1424    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
1425
1426  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
1427
1428* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
1429
1430* Minor translation updates.
1431
1432* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
1433
1434* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
1435
1436* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
1437
[facb636]1438Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
1439
1440* aven:
1441
1442  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
1443    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
1444    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
1445    on screen, printed and exported.
1446
1447  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
1448    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
1449    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
1450    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
1451    survey.
1452
1453  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
1454    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
1455    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
1456    view.  Reported by Wookey.
1457
1458  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
1459    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
1460    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
1461
1462  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
1463    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
1464
1465  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
1466    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
1467
1468  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
1469    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
1470
1471  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
1472    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
1473
1474  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
1475    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
1476
1477* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
1478  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
1479  tools could do, plus much more.
1480
1481* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
1482
1483* Minor updates to various other translations.
1484
1485* img library:
1486
1487  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
1488
1489  + Improve API documentation.
1490
1491* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
1492  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
1493  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
1494
1495* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
1496  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
1497  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
1498  control what gets exported.
1499
[5279c800]1500Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
1501
1502* aven:
1503
1504  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1505    of 1.2.33.
1506
1507  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
1508
[f057bc1]1509Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
1510
1511* aven:
1512
1513  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
1514    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
1515    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
1516    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
1517
1518  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
1519    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
1520    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
1521    Erin Lynch.
1522
1523  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
1524    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
1525    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
1526
1527  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
1528    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
1529    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
1530    unnecessarily.
1531
1532  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
1533    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
1534    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
1535    for this control).
1536
1537  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
1538    under GTK3.
1539
1540  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
1541    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
1542    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
1543
1544  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
1545    current development version).
1546
1547  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
1548    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
1549    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
1550
1551* cavern:
1552
1553  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
1554    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
1555    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
1556    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
1557    "19".
1558
1559* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
1560  Evaristo Quiroga.
1561
1562* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1563
1564* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
1565  milosch.
1566
1567* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
1568  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
1569  translated messages.
1570
1571* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
1572  Indonesian and Polish.
1573
1574* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
1575  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
1576  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1577
1578* Fix a few compiler warnings.
1579
1580* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
1581  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
1582  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
1583
1584* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
1585
1586  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
1587    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
1588    but happens to fail if it isn't.
1589
1590  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
1591
1592  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
1593
1594  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
1595
1596* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
1597  detected at run time on macOS.
1598
1599* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
1600  by the homebrew formula.
1601
1602* buildmacosx.sh:
1603
1604  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
1605    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
1606
1607  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
1608
1609* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
1610  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
1611
[66576b6]1612Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
1613
1614* aven:
1615
1616  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
1617    and Anthony Day.
1618
1619  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
1620    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
1621    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1622    Erin Lynch in #89.
1623
1624  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
1625    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
1626    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
1627    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
1628    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
1629    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
1630    elevations.
1631
1632  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
1633    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
1634    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
1635
1636  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
1637    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
1638    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
1639    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
1640    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
1641    "on".
1642
1643  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
1644    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
1645
1646  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
1647    the display wouldn't update right away.
1648
1649* Manual:
1650
1651  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
1652
1653  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
1654
1655* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
1656  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
1657  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
1658  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
1659  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
1660
[28695f1]1661Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
[11c814b]1662
1663* aven:
1664
1665  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
1666    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
1667    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
1668
1669  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
1670    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
1671    before by others.
1672
1673  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
1674
1675  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
1676    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
1677    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
1678    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
1679    original change.
1680
[28695f1]1681  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
1682    which extends beyond the end of the line).
[11c814b]1683
1684  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
1685    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
1686
1687  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
1688
[28695f1]1689  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
[11c814b]1690
[28695f1]1691  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
1692    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
1693    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
1694    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
1695    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
1696    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
1697    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
[11c814b]1698
1699  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
1700    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
1701
[28695f1]1702  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
1703    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
1704    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
1705
1706  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
1707    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
1708    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
1709    much vertical range.
1710
1711  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
1712    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
1713    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
1714    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
1715    are drawn in this way.
1716
1717  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
1718    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
1719    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
1720    centre should be a single pixel.
[11c814b]1721
1722* cavern:
1723
[28695f1]1724  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
1725    entering passage data where there are side passages.
1726
1727  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
1728    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
1729
[11c814b]1730  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
1731    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
[28695f1]1732    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
1733    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
[11c814b]1734
1735  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
1736    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
1737    Reported by Erin Lynch.
1738
1739  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
1740    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
1741    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
1742    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
1743
1744  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
1745    other messages.
1746
[28695f1]1747* extend:
1748
1749  + Now runs a bit faster.
1750
1751  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
1752    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
1753    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
1754    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
1755    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
1756    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
1757    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
1758    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
1759    be handled better) most welcome.
1760
1761* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
1762
1763* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
1764
1765* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
1766  translations from therion.
1767
1768* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
1769  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
1770
[11c814b]1771* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
1772  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
1773  Footleg.
1774
[28695f1]1775* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
1776
1777* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
[11c814b]1778
[56b37f3]1779Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
1780
1781* aven:
1782
1783  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
1784    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1785
1786  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
1787    Suggested by detrito.
1788
1789  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
1790    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
1791
1792  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
1793    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
1794
1795* Add man page for dump3d.
1796
[d0418ac]1797Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
1798
1799* aven:
1800
1801  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
1802    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
1803
1804  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
[53c1e5d]1805    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
[d0418ac]1806
1807* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
1808  Lynch and "detrito".
1809
1810* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
1811  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
1812
[6897356]1813Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
[0d8f67a]1814
1815* cavern:
1816
1817  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
1818    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
1819    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
1820    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
1821    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
1822
1823  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
1824
1825  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
1826
1827  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
1828    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
1829    degrees).
[99b3298]1830
1831* aven:
1832
1833  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
1834    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
1835    Day.
1836
1837  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
1838    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1839
1840  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
1841    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
1842
[0d8f67a]1843  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
1844    of the line in cavern log window.
1845
[99b3298]1846  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1847
1848  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1849
[6897356]1850  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
1851    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
1852    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
1853    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
1854    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
1855
[0d8f67a]1856  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
1857    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
1858    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
1859
[99b3298]1860  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
1861
1862  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
1863
1864  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
1865    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
1866    Atkinson and myself.
1867
1868  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
1869
1870  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
1871    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
1872    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
1873    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
1874    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
1875    survey.
1876
1877  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
1878    lines on my netbook.
1879
1880  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
1881    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
1882    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
1883
[6897356]1884  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
1885    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
1886    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
1887    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
1888    glitches.
1889
1890  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
1891    we currently list, though slower to write.
1892
1893  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
1894    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
1895
1896  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
1897    warnings when building against a recent version.
1898
[99b3298]1899  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
1900    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
1901    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
1902    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
1903
[f55cbeb]1904  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
1905    movie export.
1906
1907  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
1908    export.
1909
[99b3298]1910* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1911  James Begley.
1912
[0d8f67a]1913* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
1914  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
1915
[99b3298]1916* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
1917
[7333c2c]1918* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
1919  messages get used automatically.
1920
1921* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
1922  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
1923
[0d8f67a]1924* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
1925
1926* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
1927
1928* Use https for more URLs which support it.
1929
[690fdab]1930Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
[dfe8d05]1931
1932* aven:
1933
1934  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
1935    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
1936    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
1937    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
1938    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
1939    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
1940    probably change in the future).
1941
[690fdab]1942  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
1943    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
1944    the survey tree root.
[dfe8d05]1945
[690fdab]1946  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
1947    the view was recentred).
[dfe8d05]1948
1949  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
1950    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
1951    wrong direction).
1952
1953  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
1954    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
1955    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
1956
[690fdab]1957  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
1958    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
1959    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
1960    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
[dfe8d05]1961
1962  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
1963    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
1964
[690fdab]1965  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
1966    addresses #60.
1967
1968  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
1969
1970  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
1971    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
1972    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
1973
1974  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
1975
1976  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
1977    360 or down past 0.
1978
1979  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
1980    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
1981    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
1982    real-valued ones.
[dfe8d05]1983
1984  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
1985    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
1986
[690fdab]1987  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
1988    Lynch.
[dfe8d05]1989
[690fdab]1990  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
1991
1992  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
1993    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
1994
1995  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
1996    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
1997    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
1998
1999  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
2000    should now work.
[dfe8d05]2001
2002* cavern:
2003
2004  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
2005
2006  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
2007    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
2008    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
2009
2010  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
2011    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
2012    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
2013
[3ca8ad2]2014  + Fix check for end of version number array in *require.  We would check up
[dfe8d05]2015    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
2016    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
2017    issue.
2018
2019  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
2020    by patch from Colin Watson.
2021
[690fdab]2022  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
2023
[dfe8d05]2024* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
2025
2026* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
2027  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
2028
[690fdab]2029* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
2030  used in the same dataset.
2031
[dfe8d05]2032* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
2033  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
2034
2035* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
2036  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
2037  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
2038
2039* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
2040
[cd746b9]2041Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
2042
2043* aven:
2044
2045  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
2046    cavern again.
2047
[8ee50db]2048* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
2049  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
2050  location and use the same start menu folder.
2051
2052* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
2053  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
2054
2055* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
2056  by James Begley.
2057
[cd5cd8f]2058Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
[4e92bec]2059
[cd5cd8f]2060* aven:
[4e92bec]2061
[cd5cd8f]2062  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
2063    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
2064    to address.
[4e92bec]2065
[cd5cd8f]2066  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
2067    over the survey tree.
[4e92bec]2068
[cd5cd8f]2069  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
[4e92bec]2070
[cd5cd8f]2071  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
2072    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]2073
[cd5cd8f]2074  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
2075    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
2076    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
2077    encoded.
[4e92bec]2078
[cd5cd8f]2079  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
2080    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
2081    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
2082    terminals which do still support this.
[4e92bec]2083
[cd5cd8f]2084  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
2085    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
[4e92bec]2086
[cd5cd8f]2087* cavern:
[4e92bec]2088
[cd5cd8f]2089  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
2090    Edwards (see #78).
[4e92bec]2091
[cd5cd8f]2092  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
2093    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
2094    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
2095    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
[4e92bec]2096
[cd5cd8f]2097  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
2098    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
2099    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
[4e92bec]2100
[cd5cd8f]2101  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
2102    from Pete Smart (see #69).
[4e92bec]2103
[cd5cd8f]2104* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
2105  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
2106  Black.
[4e92bec]2107
[cd5cd8f]2108* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
[4e92bec]2109
[cd5cd8f]2110* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
2111  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
2112  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
2113  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
2114  Black.
[4e92bec]2115
[cd5cd8f]2116* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
2117  Black.
[4e92bec]2118
[cd5cd8f]2119* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
[4e92bec]2120
[cd5cd8f]2121* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
[4e92bec]2122
[cd5cd8f]2123* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]2124
[cd5cd8f]2125* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
[4e92bec]2126
[cd5cd8f]2127* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
[4e92bec]2128
[cd5cd8f]2129* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
2130  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
[4e92bec]2131
[cd5cd8f]2132* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
2133  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
2134  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
[4e92bec]2135
[cd5cd8f]2136* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
2137  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
2138  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
2139  privileges or not.
[4e92bec]2140
[52dad0e]2141Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
2142
2143* aven:
2144
2145  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
2146    Clipstone.
2147
2148  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
2149    Reported by Jenny Black.
2150
2151  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
2152    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
2153    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
2154
2155  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
2156    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
2157    messages.
2158
2159  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
2160    the terminal in 1.2.23.
2161
2162* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
2163  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
2164
2165* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
2166
2167* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
2168  by Wookey.
2169
[1ff33eb]2170Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
[1ed104f]2171
2172* aven:
2173
2174  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
2175    machines.
2176
2177  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
2178
2179  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
2180    already being processed.
2181
2182  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
2183    Reported by Martin Green.
2184
[d56a2d4]2185  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
2186
2187* cavern:
2188
2189  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
2190    find the original survey notes).
2191
2192  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
2193    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
2194    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
2195    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
2196    progress display to be useful.
[1ed104f]2197
2198* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
2199
[d56a2d4]2200* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
2201  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
2202
[1ed104f]2203* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
2204  running cavern.
2205
[53b6a5a]2206* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
2207  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
2208  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
2209
[7f7dbd5]2210Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
[d225571]2211
2212* aven:
2213
2214  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
2215    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
2216    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
2217    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
2218    finding this fix.
2219
2220* cavern:
2221
2222  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
2223
2224  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
2225    station.
2226
[7f7dbd5]2227  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
2228    *export.
2229
[2d865b7]2230Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
[31e9b72]2231
[03c259e]2232* aven:
2233
[2d865b7]2234  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
2235    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
2236    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
2237
[22f17f1]2238  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
2239
[03c259e]2240  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
2241    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
2242    does.
2243
[2d865b7]2244  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
2245    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
2246
2247  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
2248    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
2249
2250  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
2251    as appropriate.
2252
[03c259e]2253  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
2254    values on Windows.
2255
2256* cavern:
2257
[22f17f1]2258  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
2259    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
2260    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
2261
[2d865b7]2262  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
2263    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
2264
2265  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
2266    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
2267    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
[1687a13]2268    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
2269
2270  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
2271    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
2272    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
2273    Atkinson.
[2d865b7]2274
2275  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
2276    actual error rather than on a separate line.
[22f17f1]2277
[03c259e]2278  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
2279    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
2280    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
2281    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
2282
2283  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
2284    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
2285    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
2286
2287* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
2288  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
2289  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
2290  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
2291
2292* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
2293
[2d865b7]2294* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
2295  "*DECLINATION" command.
2296
[ab3b4a9]2297* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
2298  Reported by Jenny Black.
2299
2300* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
2301  documentation.
2302
[22f17f1]2303* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
2304  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
2305
2306* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
2307
[2d865b7]2308* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
2309
[7027ea1]2310Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
[0eaf4b1]2311
2312* aven:
2313
[6de8e942]2314  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
[31e9b72]2315    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
2316    the same or very similar by default.
[0eaf4b1]2317
2318  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
2319    Maynard.
2320
2321  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
2322
[7027ea1]2323  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
2324
2325  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
2326    away.
2327
2328  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
[6de8e942]2329
2330  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
2331    display it.
2332
2333* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
2334  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
2335  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
2336  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
2337
[0eaf4b1]2338* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
2339
2340* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
2341  before 1.2.19.
2342
2343* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
2344  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
2345
2346* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
2347
2348* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
2349  disk image.
2350
[6de8e942]2351* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
2352
[0eaf4b1]2353* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
2354  libav features we don't use.
2355
2356* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
2357  a load of libav features we don't use.
2358
2359* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
2360  message in the installer.
2361
[1dc99d1]2362Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
[f96ac93]2363
2364* aven:
2365
2366  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
2367    the exported file in 1.2.18.
2368
[2dac61e1]2369  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
2370
[4b67f71]2371  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
2372    exit full screen mode.
2373
2374  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
2375    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
2376    using since 1.2.7).
[2dac61e1]2377
[f96ac93]2378  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
2379    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
2380    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
2381    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
[2dac61e1]2382    St. Lawrence.
[f96ac93]2383
2384  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
2385    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
2386
2387  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
2388    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
2389    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
2390
2391  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
2392    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
2393    case like we do on other platforms.
2394
[739440f]2395  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
2396
[2dac61e1]2397  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
2398    support multi-monitor setups.
2399
[f96ac93]2400  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
2401    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
2402
[4b67f71]2403  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
2404    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
2405
[f96ac93]2406  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
2407    cases.
2408
[2dac61e1]2409  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
2410    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
2411    Erin Lynch)
2412
2413  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
2414    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
2415    items in in so it uses the full width.
[f96ac93]2416
2417  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
2418    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
2419    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
2420    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
2421    window.
2422
[2dac61e1]2423  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
2424    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
2425    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
2426    only relevant on the first ever run.
[f96ac93]2427
2428* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
2429
2430* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
2431  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
2432  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
2433  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
2434  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
2435  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
2436
[4b67f71]2437* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
2438  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
2439
[3f02aa4]2440Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
[2595419]2441
[4a8031f]2442* aven:
[a5670c7]2443
[4a8031f]2444  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
2445    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
2446    rendering it as a transparent surface.
[a5670c7]2447
[4a8031f]2448  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
2449    sanely want to perform from the menu.
[a5670c7]2450
[4a8031f]2451  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
2452    colouring options.
[a5670c7]2453
[4a8031f]2454  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
[a5670c7]2455
[4a8031f]2456  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
2457    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
2458    pressing "Escape".
[a5670c7]2459
[38e5701]2460  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
2461    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
2462
[4a8031f]2463  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
2464    exporting.
[a5670c7]2465
[38e5701]2466  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
2467
2468  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
2469    is quite likely to change.
2470
[4a8031f]2471  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
2472    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
[a5670c7]2473
[4a8031f]2474  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
2475    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
2476    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
2477
2478  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
2479
2480  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
2481    markers in orange.
2482
2483  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
2484    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
2485
2486  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
2487    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
2488    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
2489    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
2490    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
2491    them would be better.
2492
2493  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
2494    Gee.
2495
2496  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
2497    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
2498    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
2499
2500  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
2501
2502* cavern:
[0476b10]2503
[38e5701]2504  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
2505    susscorfa).
2506
[4a8031f]2507  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
[38e5701]2508    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
[4a8031f]2509
2510  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
2511
2512  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
2513    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
2514
2515  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
2516    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
2517
2518* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
2519
2520* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
2521  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
2522  in a modern desktop.
[a5670c7]2523
[dd65182]2524* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
2525  the filename in the error message.
2526
[4a8031f]2527* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
2528  most complete translations.
[dd65182]2529
[4a8031f]2530* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
[dd65182]2531
[4a8031f]2532* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
2533  lacks them.
[dd65182]2534
[4a8031f]2535* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
2536
2537* Manual:
2538
2539  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
2540    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
2541
2542  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
[dd65182]2543
[4a8031f]2544  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
[dd65182]2545
[4a8031f]2546  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
2547    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
2548    available for download.
2549
2550* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
2551  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
2552  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
[2595419]2553
[4a8031f]2554* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
[dd65182]2555
[3f02aa4]2556* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
2557
[1646310]2558Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
[a6064e2]2559
2560* MacOS X version:
2561
2562  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
2563
[e067870]2564  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
[9e053fc]2565
[e067870]2566  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
2567
2568  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
[9e053fc]2569
2570  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
2571    currently do this for us.
2572
[a6064e2]2573  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
2574
2575  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
2576
[9e053fc]2577  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
2578
2579  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
2580    OS X cursor.
2581
[e067870]2582  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
2583    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
2584    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
2585    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
2586    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
2587    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
2588    with TextEdit.app for example).
2589
2590  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
2591    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
2592
[a6064e2]2593  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
2594
[9e053fc]2595  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
2596    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
2597
2598  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
2599    Riggs.
2600
2601  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
2602    space.
2603
[4baea3a]2604  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
[9e053fc]2605
2606  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
2607    10.10.1.
2608
2609  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
2610    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
2611    errors.
2612
[4baea3a]2613  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
2614    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
2615    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
2616    wxWidgets build supports by default.
2617
[e067870]2618  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
2619
[a6064e2]2620* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
2621  treat as a single leg.
2622
[9e053fc]2623* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
2624
2625* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
2626
2627* aven:
2628
2629  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
2630    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
2631
2632  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
2633    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
2634    1:500).
2635
2636  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
2637    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
2638    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
2639    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
2640
2641  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
2642    there rather than the two animations fighting.
2643
2644  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
2645    fast.
2646
2647  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
2648    when rotating).
2649
[1646310]2650  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
2651    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
2652
2653* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
2654  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
2655
2656* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
2657
2658* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
2659
2660* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
2661
2662* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
[e067870]2663
[a6064e2]2664* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
2665  we're using git.
2666
[1646310]2667* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
2668
2669  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
2670    compass.
2671
2672  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
2673
2674  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
[a6064e2]2675
[03d0e8b]2676Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
[9aa10ad]2677
2678* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
2679
[f480117d]2680* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
2681
[9aa10ad]2682* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
2683
2684* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
2685  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
2686
2687* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
2688
2689* tests/: Improve test coverage.
2690
[7bd113b]2691* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
2692  Greek and Polish.
[9aa10ad]2693
2694* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
2695  by Martin Sluka.
2696
2697* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
2698  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
2699
[44f51ca]2700Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
2701
2702* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
2703  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
2704  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
2705  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
2706  for *cs has also been improved.
2707
2708* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
2709  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
2710  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
2711  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
2712
2713* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
2714  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
2715  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
2716  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
2717  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
2718
2719* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
2720  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
2721  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
2722
2723* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
2724
2725* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
2726
2727* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
2728  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
2729  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
2730
2731* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
2732  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
2733
[6a87cce]2734Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
[5c676e2]2735
[1efeb6d]2736* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
2737  system in use in 3d v8 files.
2738
2739* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
2740  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
[6a87cce]2741  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
2742  export dialog.
[1efeb6d]2743
[ea59b58]2744* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
2745  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
2746  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
2747  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
2748  rather than having one corner there.
2749
[26e7fa4]2750* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
2751  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
2752
[5c676e2]2753* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
2754  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
2755
[515b83e]2756* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
2757  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
2758  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
2759
[5c676e2]2760* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
2761  such as 64-bit Linux.
2762
[2c5ec88]2763* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
2764  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
2765
[5c676e2]2766* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
2767  64-bit platforms.
2768
[ea59b58]2769* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
2770  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
2771  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
2772
[2c5ec88]2773* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
2774  the space available in the aven UI.
2775
[1efeb6d]2776* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
2777  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
2778  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
[ea59b58]2779
[515b83e]2780* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
2781  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
2782
[6a87cce]2783* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
2784  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
2785  about unconnected surveys.
2786
2787* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
2788  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
2789
[67a0fc6]2790* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
2791  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
2792  freed memory.
2793
[1efeb6d]2794* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
2795
2796* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
2797
[2c5ec88]2798* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
2799
[5c676e2]2800* Fix a compiler warning.
2801
2802* Improve test coverage.
2803
[0d365be]2804Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
[acbb5b1]2805
[8ccd1d8]2806* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
2807  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
2808  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
2809
[acbb5b1]2810* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
2811  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
2812  Hugh St Lawrence.
2813
[0d365be]2814* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
[8ccd1d8]2815  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
2816  with using aven on a touch screen device.
2817
[acbb5b1]2818* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
2819  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
2820
2821* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
2822  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
2823
2824* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
2825  off and back on.
2826
2827* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
2828  up time a little.
2829
2830* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
2831  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
2832
2833* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
2834  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
2835  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
2836  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
2837  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
2838  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
2839  situation too.
2840
2841* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
2842  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
2843  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
2844
2845* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
2846
2847* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
2848
2849* Minor translation updates to French.
2850
2851* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
2852
2853* Testsuite improvements:
2854
2855  + Test that "..." anon station works.
2856
2857  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
2858    fail and give an error count.
2859
2860  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
2861
[ad727d8]2862Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
[46d12e9]2863
[63e8642]2864* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
2865  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
2866  Clipstone.
[46d12e9]2867
[ad727d8]2868* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
2869
2870* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
2871
2872  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
2873    overlap the scale bar ticks.
2874
2875  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
2876    clipping the border in print preview.
2877
2878  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
2879
[63e8642]2880* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
2881  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
[46d12e9]2882
[63e8642]2883* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
2884  available.
[46d12e9]2885
[ad727d8]2886* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
2887
2888* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
2889
2890* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
2891  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
2892
[63e8642]2893* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
2894  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
[46d12e9]2895
[63e8642]2896* Various translation updates.
[46d12e9]2897
[aac3336]2898Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
[fb941bfd]2899
2900* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
2901  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
2902
[aac3336]2903* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
2904  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
2905  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
2906  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
2907
[ad3017d]2908* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
2909  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
2910
[77bdacf]2911* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
2912  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
[ad3017d]2913
2914* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
2915  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
2916
2917* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
2918  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2919
2920* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
2921  box".
2922
2923* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
2924
2925* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
2926  indicators.
2927
2928* aven: All length units are now translatable.
2929
[fb941bfd]2930* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
2931  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
2932  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
2933
[ad3017d]2934* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
2935  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
2936  measurably slower.
2937
2938* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
2939  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
2940
[77bdacf]2941* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
2942  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
2943
[ad3017d]2944* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
2945  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
2946  from Therion and elsewhere.
2947
2948* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
2949  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
2950  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
[fb941bfd]2951
2952* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
2953  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
2954
2955* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
2956  A. Riggs for his work on this.
2957
2958* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
2959  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
2960
2961* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
2962
[ad3017d]2963* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
2964  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
2965  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
2966  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
2967  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
2968  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2969
2970* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
2971
[0ecf3b1]2972Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
2973
2974* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
2975  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
2976  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
2977  Clipstone.
2978
[53966d3]2979* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
2980  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
2981
[6f0d0d8]2982* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
2983  exported SVG files.
2984
2985* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
2986
2987* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
2988  file.
2989
2990* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
2991  GPX files.
2992
2993* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
2994
[0ecf3b1]2995* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
2996  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
2997
2998* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
2999  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
3000  on startup.
3001
3002* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
3003
3004* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
3005  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
3006  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
3007  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
3008  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
3009  other extensions.
3010
3011* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
3012  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
3013  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
3014  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
3015  timezone wrong.
3016
3017* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
3018
[6f0d0d8]3019* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
3020  'SURVEY DATE:'.
[0ecf3b1]3021
[6f0d0d8]3022* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
[0ecf3b1]3023
[6f0d0d8]3024* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
[0ecf3b1]3025
[53966d3]3026* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
3027  enabled.
3028
[6b6fb4d]3029Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
3030
3031* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
3032
3033* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
3034
3035* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
3036
3037* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
3038  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
3039  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
3040
3041* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
3042  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
3043  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
3044
3045* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
3046  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
3047
3048* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
3049
3050* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
3051
3052* Fix some compiler warnings.
3053
[e1f27c4]3054Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
[da65891]3055
3056* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
3057  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
3058  Holder.
3059
[e1f27c4]3060* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
[034141d]3061  statistics when the value gets large.
3062
[a4adf09]3063* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
3064  equations.
3065
[e1f27c4]3066* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
3067  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
3068  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
3069  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
3070  better when the "View" box is hidden.
3071
[0056ee1]3072* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
3073  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
3074
[e1f27c4]3075* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
3076  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
3077  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
3078  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
3079  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
3080  way is coming soon.
3081
3082* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
3083  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
3084
3085* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
3086  time ago, so update references.
3087
3088* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
3089  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
3090
3091* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
3092  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
3093
3094* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
3095  Sebastian Ramacher.
3096
3097* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
3098
3099* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
3100
3101* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
3102
3103* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
3104
3105* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
3106
3107* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
3108  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
3109  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
3110
3111* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
3112
3113* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
[9fc1cac]3114
[88b54df6]3115* img library:
3116
[e1f27c4]3117  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
3118    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
3119    reading).
3120
3121  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
3122    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
3123
3124  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
3125    support these as an extension.
[88b54df6]3126
[f807d8bf]3127  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
3128
[e1f27c4]3129* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
3130  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
3131  itself has any translations for.
3132
3133* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
3134
3135* Minor translation updates.
3136
3137* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
3138
[e34bebc]3139Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
[65d9b6b]3140
[e34bebc]3141* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
3142  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
3143  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
3144  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
[a5c74f2]3145  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
3146  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
[e34bebc]3147  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
3148  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]3149
[e34bebc]3150* New version 8 of the 3d format:
[07beaa4]3151
[e34bebc]3152  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[07beaa4]3153
[e34bebc]3154  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
3155    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
[da9d788]3156
[e34bebc]3157  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
3158    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
[da9d788]3159
[e34bebc]3160  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
[da9d788]3161
[e34bebc]3162  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
3163    human-readable string.
[da9d788]3164
[e34bebc]3165  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
3166    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
[da9d788]3167
[e34bebc]3168* img library:
[da9d788]3169
[e34bebc]3170  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[da9d788]3171
[e34bebc]3172  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
3173    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
[da9d788]3174
[e34bebc]3175  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
3176    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
3177    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
3178    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
3179    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
3180    explicitly in the file.
[da9d788]3181
[e34bebc]3182  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
[da9d788]3183
[e34bebc]3184* aven:
[da9d788]3185
[e34bebc]3186  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
3187    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
3188    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
3189    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
3190    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
3191    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
[da9d788]3192
[e34bebc]3193  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
3194    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
3195    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
3196    queued up.
[da9d788]3197
[e34bebc]3198  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
3199    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
3200
3201  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
3202    them like other legs.
3203
3204  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
3205    station names to positions.
3206
3207  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
3208    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
3209    wrongly.
3210
3211  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
3212
3213  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
3214    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
3215    that's used by the desktop).
3216
3217  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
[07beaa4]3218
[e34bebc]3219  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
3220    error from cavern.
[07beaa4]3221
[e34bebc]3222  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
[da9d788]3223
[e34bebc]3224  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
3225    in the dialog in sync.
[da9d788]3226
[e34bebc]3227* cavern:
[3dfffa2]3228
[e34bebc]3229  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
3230    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
3231    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
[3dfffa2]3232
[e34bebc]3233  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
3234    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]3235
[e34bebc]3236  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
3237    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
3238    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
3239    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
3240    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
3241    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
3242    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
3243    degrees.
[da9d788]3244
[e34bebc]3245  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
3246    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
3247    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
[da9d788]3248
[e34bebc]3249  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
[da9d788]3250
[e34bebc]3251  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
3252    warnings.
[07beaa4]3253
[e34bebc]3254  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
3255    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
[07beaa4]3256
[e34bebc]3257  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
3258    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
[da9d788]3259
[e34bebc]3260  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
3261    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
3262    relevant.
[da9d788]3263
[e34bebc]3264  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
3265    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
3266    the same line.
[da9d788]3267
[e34bebc]3268  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
3269    "End of line not blank" error.
[7f6250a]3270
[e34bebc]3271  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
3272    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
[3dfffa2]3273
[e34bebc]3274  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
3275    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
[07beaa4]3276
[e34bebc]3277  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
3278    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
3279    include that character in the token reported.
[3dfffa2]3280
[e34bebc]3281  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
3282    first item.
[07beaa4]3283
[e34bebc]3284* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
[07beaa4]3285
[e34bebc]3286* dump3d:
[07beaa4]3287
[e34bebc]3288  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
3289    info from 3d files in scripts.
[07beaa4]3290
[e34bebc]3291  + Add --show-dates option.
[07beaa4]3292
[e34bebc]3293  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
[07beaa4]3294
[e34bebc]3295  + Report the data style of legs.
[da9d788]3296
[e34bebc]3297  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
3298
3299  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
[3dfffa2]3300
3301* Test suite:
3302
3303  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
3304    expected output so it passes reliably.
3305
[e34bebc]3306  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
3307    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
3308
[07beaa4]3309  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
3310    for more.
3311
[e34bebc]3312* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
3313  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
3314  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
[3dfffa2]3315
3316* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
3317  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
3318
3319* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
3320  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
3321
[e34bebc]3322* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
[665183c]3323  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
[e34bebc]3324  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
3325  settings.
3326
3327* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
3328  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
3329  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
3330  set correctly.
3331
3332* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
3333  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
3334  them to translate.
3335
[07beaa4]3336* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
3337  close to complete.
[3dfffa2]3338
3339* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
3340
[07beaa4]3341* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
3342
[e34bebc]3343* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
3344
[c575465]3345Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
[b081031]3346
3347* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
3348
3349* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
3350  package (ticket#35).
3351
3352* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
3353  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
3354  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
3355
3356* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
3357  Kahler.
3358
3359* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
[c575465]3360  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
3361  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
3362  libproj and build survex with:
3363
3364      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3365      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
[b081031]3366
3367* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
3368
3369* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
3370
3371* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
3372  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
3373  file".
3374
[685116f]3375Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
3376
3377* aven:
3378
3379  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
3380
3381  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
3382    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
3383
3384  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
3385
3386  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
3387
3388  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
3389    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
3390
3391* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
3392  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
3393  error early on).
3394
3395* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
3396  the man page source as well as in the filename.
3397
[f15ca67f]3398Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
3399
3400* aven:
3401
3402  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
3403    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
3404    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
3405    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
3406
3407  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
3408    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
3409
3410  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
3411
3412  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
3413
3414  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
3415
3416* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
3417
[5b9942e]3418Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
3419
3420* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
3421
3422* (Mac OS X version):
3423
3424  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
3425
3426  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
3427
3428  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
3429    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
3430
3431  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
3432
3433* aven:
3434
3435  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
3436
3437  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
3438
3439    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
3440      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
3441      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
3442      character.
3443
3444    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
3445      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
3446      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
3447      and two in a few cases.
3448
3449    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
3450      8 pixels.
3451
3452  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
3453    draw crosses.
3454
[3ea0178]3455  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
3456    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
3457    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
3458    is the start or end of a tube.
3459
[5b9942e]3460  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
3461    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
3462
3463  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
3464    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
3465    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
3466
[3ea0178]3467* extend:
3468
3469  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
[5b9942e]3470
[3ea0178]3471  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
3472    which means "no info").
3473
3474* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
3475  was no longer used - it certainly is!
3476
3477* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
3478  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
3479  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
3480  current character set.
[5b9942e]3481
[3ea0178]3482* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
[5b9942e]3483
3484* Test suite:
3485
3486  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
3487
3488  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
3489
[94960ad]3490Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
3491
3492* aven:
3493
3494  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
3495    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
3496    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
3497    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
3498    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
3499    usable format.
3500
3501  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
3502    files.  (ticket#26)
3503
3504  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
3505    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
3506
[53f8a93]3507  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
3508    using lines.
3509
[94960ad]3510  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
3511    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
3512
3513  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
3514    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
3515    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
3516    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
3517
3518  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
3519    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
3520    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
3521
3522  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
3523    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
3524    in 1.2.1.
3525
[9704252]3526Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
[e3c58c3]3527
3528* Translation updates for US English.
3529
3530* aven:
3531
3532  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
3533    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
3534
3535  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
3536
3537  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
3538    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
3539    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
3540    visually similar to the survey legs.
3541
3542  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
3543    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
3544
[9704252]3545  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
3546    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
3547    does still provide some useful information).
3548
3549  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
3550    a depth band boundary.
[e3c58c3]3551
3552  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
[9704252]3553    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
3554    full-screen mode).
[e3c58c3]3555
3556  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
3557    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
3558    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
3559    are a little better, though still not perfect.
3560
3561  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
3562    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
3563
3564  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
3565    that station.
3566
3567  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
3568    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
3569
3570  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
3571    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
3572    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
[9704252]3573    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
3574    a case as it is a bug).
[e3c58c3]3575
[9704252]3576  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
3577    invalidated on window width or height changes.
[e3c58c3]3578
3579  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
3580    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
3581    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
3582    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
3583
[9704252]3584  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
3585    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
3586    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
3587    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
3588    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
3589    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
3590    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
[e3c58c3]3591
3592  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
3593    similarly for other compass points.
3594
3595  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
3596    info in the "About" dialog.
3597
3598  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
3599    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
3600
3601  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
3602    as well as still working with older versions.
3603
3604  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
3605    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
3606
3607  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
3608    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
3609    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
3610    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
3611    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
3612
3613  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
3614    nicer and make better use of the available space.
3615
3616  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
3617    dialog.
3618
3619  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
3620    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
3621
3622  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
3623    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
3624
[9704252]3625  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
3626
[e3c58c3]3627  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
3628
3629  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
3630    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
3631    being pressed and toggle full screen.
3632
3633* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
3634  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
3635
3636* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
3637
3638* More messages are now available to be translated.
3639
3640* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
3641  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
3642
3643* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
3644
3645* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
3646  sudo for installing on Unix.
3647
3648* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
3649  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
3650
3651* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
3652  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
3653
3654* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
3655
[120c1c6]3656Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
[b4ac7007]3657
3658* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
3659  English.
3660
[9cfcb3f]3661* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
3662  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
3663  case.
3664
3665* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
3666  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
3667  these into Survex's .msg format.
3668
[b4ac7007]3669* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
3670  an actual command).
3671
[9cfcb3f]3672* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
3673  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
3674  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
3675  recurrence of that).
3676
[b4ac7007]3677* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
3678  than /usr/doc/survex.
3679
3680* aven:
3681
[120c1c6]3682  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
3683
[9cfcb3f]3684  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
3685    nicer at larger sizes.
3686
[b4ac7007]3687  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
3688    with GLX >= 1.3.
3689
3690  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
3691
3692  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
[4095cc0]3693    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
3694    required libraries set up for building releases.
[b4ac7007]3695
3696  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
3697
3698  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
3699
3700  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
3701    rendered with icons on some platforms.
3702
[9cfcb3f]3703  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
3704    ISO8859-1).
3705
3706  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
3707    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
3708
3709  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
3710    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
3711
[b4ac7007]3712* cavern:
3713
3714  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
3715    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
3716    fatal error!
3717
[9cfcb3f]3718  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
3719    format to output.  (ticket#21)
3720
3721* img library:
3722
3723  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
3724    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
3725
[b4ac7007]3726* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
[120c1c6]3727  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
[b4ac7007]3728
[8f9b0b6d]3729Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]3730
3731* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
3732  Portuguese, and US English.
3733
3734* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]3735  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]3736
3737* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
3738  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
3739
3740* img.c:
3741
3742  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
3743
3744  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
3745
3746* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
3747
[8f9b0b6d]3748* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
3749  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
3750  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
3751  translated.
3752
[f5e3521]3753Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]3754
3755* aven:
3756
3757  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
3758    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
3759
3760  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
3761    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
3762    addresses ticket#12.
3763
3764  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
3765    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
3766    consistent shape.
3767
3768  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
3769    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
3770    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
3771    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
3772
3773  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
3774    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
3775
3776  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
3777
3778  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
3779    more places.
3780
3781  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]3782    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
3783
3784* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
3785
3786* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
3787  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
3788
3789* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]3790
3791* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
3792  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
3793  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
3794  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
3795  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
3796  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
3797
3798* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
3799  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
3800  redirecting to it.
3801
3802* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
3803  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
3804  I/O).
3805
3806* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
3807  headers.
3808
3809* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
3810
3811* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
3812  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
3813
3814* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
3815
[f9473ab]3816Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
3817
3818* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
3819
3820* aven:
3821
3822  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
3823    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
3824    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
3825    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
3826
3827  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
3828
3829  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
3830    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
3831    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
3832    a number.
3833
3834  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
3835    log window.
3836
3837  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
3838    various cases.
3839
3840  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
3841    (ticket#9)
3842
3843  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
3844    namespace with its own "Point" class.
3845
3846  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
3847    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
3848
3849  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
3850
3851  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
3852    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
3853
3854* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
3855  give them before.
3856
3857* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
3858  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
3859  point looking for them now.
3860
3861* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
3862  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
3863  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
3864  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
3865
3866* manual:
3867
3868  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
3869
3870  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
3871    (change taken from 1.0).
3872
3873* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
3874
[0bd49eb]3875Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]3876
3877* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
3878
[739b92c]3879* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]3880
3881* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]3882
3883* aven:
3884
[90d0d71]3885  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
3886
3887  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
3888    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
3889    seem to be Unicode now).
3890
3891  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
3892    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
3893
[e4bfd2f]3894  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
3895    text on the survey pane:
3896
3897    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
3898
3899    - Character spacing is improved.
3900
3901    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]3902
3903  + "About" dialog:
3904
3905    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
3906      bug reporting.
3907
3908    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
3909      modern gfx card.
3910
3911    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
3912
3913  + Processing .svx files:
3914
3915    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]3916
[739b92c]3917    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
3918      than opening a separate frame for it.
3919
[90d0d71]3920    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
3921
3922    - Fix small memory leak.
3923
3924  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
3925    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
3926    such a name.
3927
3928  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
3929
[e4bfd2f]3930  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
3931    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
3932    invocations.
3933
[90d0d71]3934  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
3935
3936  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
3937
[739b92c]3938  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
3939
[90d0d71]3940* Documentation:
3941
[e4bfd2f]3942  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
3943
3944  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
3945    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
3946    together isn't very useful.
3947
[90d0d71]3948  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
3949
3950  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
3951    the FSF website.
3952
3953  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
3954    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
3955    the source code.
3956
3957* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
3958  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]3959
[e4bfd2f]3960* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
3961  package from the source tarball.
3962
[739b92c]3963* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
3964  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
3965
[2e12f8c]3966Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]3967
3968* aven:
3969
[3db0798]3970  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
3971
[5940815]3972  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
3973
[6b2113d]3974  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
3975    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
3976    names/crosses).
3977
[920b066]3978Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
3979
3980* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
3981
[99d8798]3982* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
3983
[920b066]3984* aven:
[78c67a6]3985
[920b066]3986  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]3987
[920b066]3988  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]3989
[920b066]3990  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
3991    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]3992
[920b066]3993  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
3994    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]3995
[920b066]3996  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]3997
[920b066]3998  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
3999    depth colouring.
[99d8798]4000
[920b066]4001  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]4002
[920b066]4003  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]4004
[920b066]4005  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]4006
[920b066]4007  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]4008
[920b066]4009  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]4010
[920b066]4011  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]4012
[920b066]4013  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]4014
[920b066]4015  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]4016
[920b066]4017  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
4018    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]4019
[920b066]4020  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]4021
[920b066]4022  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
4023    default.
[99d8798]4024
[920b066]4025* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
4026  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]4027
[920b066]4028* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
4029  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]4030
[920b066]4031* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]4032
[920b066]4033* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]4034
[920b066]4035Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]4036
4037* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
4038  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
4039  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
4040  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
4041  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
4042
4043* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
4044  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
4045  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]4046
[ac3f376]4047* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
4048  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
4049  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
4050
4051* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
4052  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
4053  allowed).
4054
4055* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
4056
4057* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4058
4059* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4060
[920b066]4061Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]4062
4063* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
4064  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
4065
4066* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
4067  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
4068  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
4069
4070* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
4071  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
4072  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
4073  the new "*data passage" style.
4074
4075* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
4076  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
4077
4078* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
4079  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
4080  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
4081  some cases.
4082
4083* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
4084  with no survey loaded.
4085
4086* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
4087
4088* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
4089  loaded a survey.
4090
4091* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
4092
4093* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
4094
4095* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
4096  doesn't exist.
4097
4098* Updated French and Italian translations.
4099
4100* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]4101  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
4102
[6a2594be]4103* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
4104  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
4105  update their copy).
4106
4107* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
4108  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
4109  trying to compile).
4110
[920b066]4111Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]4112
[c988ae4]4113* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
4114  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
4115
[9577fcc]4116* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
4117  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
4118  has been disabled.
4119
[ecf2d23]4120* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
4121  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
4122  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
4123  time.
4124
[d1628e8e]4125* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
4126  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
4127  highlighted stations.
4128
[e67ed1b]4129* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
4130
[3ddd351]4131* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
4132  the tilt from plan to elevation.
4133
[c988ae4]4134* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
4135  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
4136
4137* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
4138  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
4139  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
4140
4141* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
4142  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
4143
4144* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
4145
[84f1ed1]4146* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
4147
[a884696]4148* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
4149
[9fe7af4f]4150* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
4151  run by an unprivileged user.
4152
4153* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
4154  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
4155  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
4156
4157* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
4158  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
4159
[cd39f67]4160* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
4161
[afffec4]4162* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]4163  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]4164
[38a192d]4165* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
4166  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
4167
[5892e08]4168* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
4169  if it isn't.
4170
[879e9c3]4171* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
4172  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
4173
[c8f929b]4174* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
4175  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
4176
4177* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
4178  reset to default view as well).
4179
4180* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
4181  empty.
4182
4183* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
4184  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
4185
[9ad92cc]4186* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]4187  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
4188  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]4189
4190* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
4191  and non-zero width lines.
4192
4193* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
4194  was turned on.
4195
4196* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
4197  not always being fully written.
4198
[920b066]4199Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]4200
4201* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
4202  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
4203  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
4204  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]4205
[8add4c9]4206* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
4207  with MS Windows).
4208
[9f524ee]4209* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
4210  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
4211  several surveys in the same directory).
4212
[185d793]4213* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]4214  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]4215
[3515947]4216* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
4217
[1235f9b]4218* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
4219  moved off a station.
4220
[4299674]4221* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]4222  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]4223
[60dbe70]4224* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
4225
[125c9ea]4226* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
4227  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
4228
[ec58e3d3]4229* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
4230  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
4231  dialogs.
4232
[8add4c9]4233* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
4234  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
4235
[6662d02]4236* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
4237  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]4238  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]4239
[b65c13f]4240* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
4241  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
4242  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
4243
[17cce5f]4244* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
4245  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
4246
[affaeee]4247* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
4248
[618b01f]4249* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
4250
[920b066]4251Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]4252
4253* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
4254  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
4255
[b88b171]4256* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
4257  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
4258  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
4259  3d file.
4260
[7e01c87]4261* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
4262
4263* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
4264
4265* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
4266  Instead turn off depth colouring.
4267
[8ea82aa]4268* aven: Export as HPGL added.
4269
[887c26e]4270* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
4271  Martin Green).
4272
[7c29c976]4273* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
4274  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
4275  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
4276
[7e01c87]4277* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]4278
[7e01c87]4279* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
4280  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
4281
4282* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
4283  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
4284  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
4285  of everything else.
4286
4287* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
4288  presentation icons.
4289
4290* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
4291  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]4292
[b46bf92]4293* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
4294
[796d7bf]4295* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
4296
[7e01c87]4297* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
4298
4299* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
4300
[b88b171]4301* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
4302  language to use for messages.
4303
[7c29c976]4304* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
4305  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
4306
[8ea82aa]4307* Removed old printer drivers.
4308
[7e01c87]4309* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
4310  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]4311
[920b066]4312Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]4313
4314* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
4315
[4ba80e0]4316* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
4317
4318* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
4319  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
4320
[95ce35f]4321* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
4322  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]4323
[95ce35f]4324* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
4325
[cd78148]4326* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
4327  underground legs is toggled.
4328
[f5627353]4329* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
4330  attached to the previous data.
4331
[dfe4a520]4332* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
4333  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
4334  them.
4335
[920b066]4336Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]4337
4338* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
4339
4340* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
4341  continental European countries).
4342
4343* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
4344  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
4345  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
4346
4347* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
4348
4349* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
4350  they're needed.
4351
4352* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
4353
4354* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
4355
4356* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
4357
4358* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
4359  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
4360  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
4361
4362* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
4363
[920b066]4364Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]4365
4366* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
4367
4368* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
4369
4370* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
4371
4372* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
4373
4374* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
4375
4376* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
4377
4378* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
4379  when there's a presentation loaded.
4380
4381* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
4382  in cave view.
4383
4384* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
4385
4386* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
4387  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
4388  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
4389
4390* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
4391  filename for file history and window title.
4392
4393* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
4394  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
4395  only needed with GTK1.2.
4396
4397* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
4398
4399* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
4400
4401* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
4402
4403* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
4404
4405Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]4406
4407* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
4408  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
4409  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
4410
4411* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
4412  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
4413
4414* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
4415  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
4416  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
4417  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]4418
[0e558e5]4419* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]4420
4421* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
4422  with --help and --version.
4423
4424* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
4425  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]4426  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]4427  Fixed all these problems.
4428
4429* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
4430  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
4431  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
4432
4433* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]4434  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
4435  sources.
[8faa5d8]4436
[0e558e5]4437* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]4438
4439* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
4440
4441* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
4442  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
4443
4444* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
4445  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
4446  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
4447  animating.
4448
4449* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
4450
4451* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
4452
4453* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
4454  to this branch.
4455
4456* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
4457
4458  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
4459
4460  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
4461
4462  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
4463
4464* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]4465
[8faa5d8]4466* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
4467  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
4468
4469* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
4470
4471* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]4472  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]4473
4474* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
4475
4476* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
4477  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
4478  for anyone building from CVS).
4479
4480* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
4481
[4855072]4482* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]4483
4484* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
4485
4486* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
4487
[0e558e5]4488* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
4489  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]4490  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
4491
4492* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
4493  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
4494
4495* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
4496
4497* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]4498  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
4499  loaded).
[8faa5d8]4500
4501* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
4502
[920b066]4503Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]4504
4505* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]4506  startup.
[a7aa27d9]4507
4508* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
4509  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
4510
[920b066]4511Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]4512
[91e416e]4513* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
4514  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
4515  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]4516
[91e416e]4517* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
4518  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
4519  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]4520
[91e416e]4521* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
4522  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
4523  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]4524
[91e416e]4525* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]4526
[0580c6a]4527* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
4528  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
4529
[4261983]4530* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
4531  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
4532
4533* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
4534  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]4535
[f80077a]4536* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]4537
[6abab84]4538* aven: Perspective view.
4539
[91e416e]4540* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]4541
[91e416e]4542* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
4543  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]4544
[1690fa9]4545* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
4546  and load/save/run them.
4547
[0580c6a]4548* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
4549
[045e2af]4550* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
4551
[c60062d]4552* aven: Depth fogging option.
4553
[0580c6a]4554* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
4555
4556* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
4557
[f433fda]4558* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
4559  showing the surface legs.
4560
[0580c6a]4561* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
