3Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-04-03):
4
5        * buildmacosx.sh: Remove packaging of svxedit for OS X.
6        * survex.spec.in: Drop svxedit from RPM spec file.
7        * .gitignore,Makefile.am,configure.ac,lib/INSTALL.OSX,
8          lib/icons/Makefile.am,src/,survex.iss.in: Remove editwrap - while an
9          editor with built-in knowledge of survex would be nice to have,
10          svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly in a modern
11          desktop.
12
13        * lib/INSTALL.OSX,src/mainfrm.cc: Attempt to address the size of the
14          toolbar icons on Mac OS X.
15
16        * doc/manual.sgml: Fix bugs in the markup.
17        * .gitignore,configure.ac,doc/: Eliminate most of the SGML entities we
18          define.
[0476b10]19
20        * lib/icons/Makefile.am,lib/icons/solid-surface.png,
21          lib/icons/solid_surface.xpm,lib/survex.pot,src/: Add UI for toggling
22          terrain on and off.
23        * src/gfxcore.cc,src/gfxcore.h,src/mainfrm.h: Terrain data work in
24          progress.
[05956b5]25        * src/gfxcore.cc: Read terrain data directly from the zip file.
[0adeec6]26
[dd65182]27* aven: Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
28  currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
29  Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
30
[0adeec6]31* aven: Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
[dd65182]32
[2595419]33* aven: Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
[0adeec6]34
[dd65182]35* aven: Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
36  which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by pressing
37  "Escape".
38
39* aven: Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
40  exporting.
41
42* aven: In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
43  markers in orange.
44
45* aven: Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
46  print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due to
47  a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody has
48  ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should support
49  setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting them
50  would be better.
51
52* aven: Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
53  buffered I/O with select() on the file descriptor.
54
55* aven: Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
56  Gee.
57
58* aven: Add JSON export.
59
[0476b10]60* aven: Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
61  account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
62  won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
63
[a5670c7]64* cavern: Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
65  errors, and the stats at the end of the run.
66
[0476b10]67* cavern: Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
68
69* cavern: Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in
70  front of warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
71
[2595419]72* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
73
[a5670c7]74* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
75
76* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
77  lacks them.
78
79* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
80
81* cavern: Warn if fore and back measurements differ by more than 3 SDs, rather
82  than just by 2 SDs.
83
84* doc/manual.sgml: Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks
85  for Wookey for highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
86
87* doc/manual.sgml: Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
88
[0476b10]89* doc/manual.sgml: Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
[a5670c7]90
[0476b10]91* doc/manual.sgml: Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer
92  there.  Remove offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image
93  which isn't available for download.
[a5670c7]94
[0476b10]95* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
96  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
97  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
98
99* doc/TODO.htm: "Save cavern log from aven" now implemented.
[a5670c7]100
[dd65182]101* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
102  the filename in the error message.
103
104        * lib/: More translation updates.
105
106        * lib/el.po: Fix language code in file to be 'el'.
107
108        * lib/hu.po: Change '...' to ellipses.
109        * lib/hu.po: Add missing quotes.
110        * lib/hu.po: Use curly double quotes.
111        * lib/hu.po: Remove erroneous quotes from message.
112
113        * lib/ru.po: Merge more translation updates from "vsuhachev".
114
115        * lib/id.po: Merged translation updates from "Cave ID" - all messages
116          are now translated into Indonesian!
117
[2595419]118* doc/manual.sgml: Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
119
[dd65182]120        * doc/TODO.htm: Update.
121
[1646310]122Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
[a6064e2]123
124* MacOS X version:
125
126  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
127
[e067870]128  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
[9e053fc]129
[e067870]130  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
131
132  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
[9e053fc]133
134  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
135    currently do this for us.
136
[a6064e2]137  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
138
139  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
140
[9e053fc]141  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
142
143  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
144    OS X cursor.
145
[e067870]146  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
147    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
148    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
149    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
150    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
151    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
152    with TextEdit.app for example).
153
154  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
155    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
156
[a6064e2]157  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
158
[9e053fc]159  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
160    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
161
162  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
163    Riggs.
164
165  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
166    space.
167
[4baea3a]168  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
[9e053fc]169
170  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
171    10.10.1.
172
173  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
174    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
175    errors.
176
[4baea3a]177  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
178    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
179    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
180    wxWidgets build supports by default.
181
[e067870]182  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
183
[a6064e2]184* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
185  treat as a single leg.
186
[9e053fc]187* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
188
189* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
190
191* aven:
192
193  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
194    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
195
196  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
197    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
198    1:500).
199
200  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
201    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
202    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
203    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
204
205  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
206    there rather than the two animations fighting.
207
208  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
209    fast.
210
211  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
212    when rotating).
213
[1646310]214  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
215    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
216
217* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
218  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
219
220* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
221
222* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
223
224* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
225
226* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
[e067870]227
[a6064e2]228* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
229  we're using git.
230
[1646310]231* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
232
233  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
234    compass.
235
236  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
237
238  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
[a6064e2]239
[03d0e8b]240Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
[9aa10ad]241
242* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
243
[f480117d]244* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
245
[9aa10ad]246* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
247
248* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
249  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
250
251* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
252
253* tests/: Improve test coverage.
254
[7bd113b]255* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
256  Greek and Polish.
[9aa10ad]257
258* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
259  by Martin Sluka.
260
261* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
262  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
263
[44f51ca]264Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
265
266* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
267  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
268  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
269  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
270  for *cs has also been improved.
271
272* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
273  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
274  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
275  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
276
277* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
278  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
279  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
280  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
281  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
282
283* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
284  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
285  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
286
287* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
288
289* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
290
291* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
292  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
293  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
294
295* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
296  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
297
[6a87cce]298Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
[5c676e2]299
[1efeb6d]300* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
301  system in use in 3d v8 files.
302
303* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
304  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
[6a87cce]305  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
306  export dialog.
[1efeb6d]307
[ea59b58]308* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
309  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
310  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
311  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
312  rather than having one corner there.
313
[26e7fa4]314* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
315  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
316
[5c676e2]317* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
318  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
319
[515b83e]320* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
321  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
322  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
323
[5c676e2]324* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
325  such as 64-bit Linux.
326
[2c5ec88]327* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
328  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
329
[5c676e2]330* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
331  64-bit platforms.
332
[ea59b58]333* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
334  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
335  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
336
[2c5ec88]337* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
338  the space available in the aven UI.
339
[1efeb6d]340* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
341  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
342  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
[ea59b58]343
[515b83e]344* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
345  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
346
[6a87cce]347* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
348  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
349  about unconnected surveys.
350
351* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
352  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
353
[67a0fc6]354* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
355  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
356  freed memory.
357
[1efeb6d]358* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
359
360* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
361
[2c5ec88]362* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
363
[5c676e2]364* Fix a compiler warning.
365
366* Improve test coverage.
367
[0d365be]368Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
[acbb5b1]369
[8ccd1d8]370* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
371  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
372  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
373
[acbb5b1]374* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
375  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
376  Hugh St Lawrence.
377
[0d365be]378* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
[8ccd1d8]379  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
380  with using aven on a touch screen device.
381
[acbb5b1]382* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
383  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
384
385* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
386  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
387
388* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
389  off and back on.
390
391* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
392  up time a little.
393
394* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
395  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
396
397* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
398  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
399  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
400  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
401  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
402  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
403  situation too.
404
405* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
406  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
407  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
408
409* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
410
411* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
412
413* Minor translation updates to French.
414
415* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
416
417* Testsuite improvements:
418
419  + Test that "..." anon station works.
420
421  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
422    fail and give an error count.
423
424  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
425
[ad727d8]426Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
[46d12e9]427
[63e8642]428* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
429  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
430  Clipstone.
[46d12e9]431
[ad727d8]432* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
433
434* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
435
436  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
437    overlap the scale bar ticks.
438
439  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
440    clipping the border in print preview.
441
442  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
443
[63e8642]444* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
445  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
[46d12e9]446
[63e8642]447* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
448  available.
[46d12e9]449
[ad727d8]450* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
451
452* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
453
454* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
455  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
456
[63e8642]457* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
458  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
[46d12e9]459
[63e8642]460* Various translation updates.
[46d12e9]461
[aac3336]462Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
[fb941bfd]463
464* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
465  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
466
[aac3336]467* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
468  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
469  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
470  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
471
[ad3017d]472* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
473  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
474
[77bdacf]475* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
476  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
[ad3017d]477
478* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
479  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
480
481* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
482  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
483
484* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
485  box".
486
487* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
488
489* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
490  indicators.
491
492* aven: All length units are now translatable.
493
[fb941bfd]494* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
495  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
496  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
497
[ad3017d]498* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
499  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
500  measurably slower.
501
502* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
503  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
504
[77bdacf]505* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
506  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
507
[ad3017d]508* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
509  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
510  from Therion and elsewhere.
511
512* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
513  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
514  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
[fb941bfd]515
516* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
517  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
518
519* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
520  A. Riggs for his work on this.
521
522* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
523  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
524
525* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
526
[ad3017d]527* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
528  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
529  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
530  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
531  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
532  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
533
534* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
535
[0ecf3b1]536Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
537
538* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
539  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
540  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
541  Clipstone.
542
[53966d3]543* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
544  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
545
[6f0d0d8]546* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
547  exported SVG files.
548
549* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
550
551* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
552  file.
553
554* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
555  GPX files.
556
557* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
558
[0ecf3b1]559* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
560  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
561
562* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
563  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
564  on startup.
565
566* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
567
568* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
569  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
570  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
571  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
572  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
573  other extensions.
574
575* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
576  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
577  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
578  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
579  timezone wrong.
580
581* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
582
[6f0d0d8]583* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
584  'SURVEY DATE:'.
[0ecf3b1]585
[6f0d0d8]586* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
[0ecf3b1]587
[6f0d0d8]588* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
[0ecf3b1]589
[53966d3]590* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
591  enabled.
592
[6b6fb4d]593Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
594
595* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
596
597* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
598
599* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
600
601* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
602  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
603  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
604
605* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
606  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
607  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
608
609* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
610  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
611
612* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
613
614* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
615
616* Fix some compiler warnings.
617
[e1f27c4]618Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
[da65891]619
620* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
621  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
622  Holder.
623
[e1f27c4]624* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
[034141d]625  statistics when the value gets large.
626
[a4adf09]627* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
628  equations.
629
[e1f27c4]630* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
631  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
632  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
633  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
634  better when the "View" box is hidden.
635
[0056ee1]636* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
637  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
638
[e1f27c4]639* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
640  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
641  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
642  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
643  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
644  way is coming soon.
645
646* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
647  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
648
649* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
650  time ago, so update references.
651
652* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
653  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
654
655* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
656  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
657
658* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
659  Sebastian Ramacher.
660
661* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
662
663* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
664
665* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
666
667* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
668
669* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
670
671* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
672  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
673  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
674
675* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
676
677* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
[9fc1cac]678
[88b54df6]679* img library:
680
[e1f27c4]681  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
682    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
683    reading).
684
685  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
686    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
687
688  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
689    support these as an extension.
[88b54df6]690
[f807d8bf]691  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
692
[e1f27c4]693* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
694  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
695  itself has any translations for.
696
697* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
698
699* Minor translation updates.
700
701* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
702
[e34bebc]703Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
[65d9b6b]704
[e34bebc]705* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
706  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
707  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
708  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
709  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
710  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
711  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
712  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]713
[e34bebc]714* New version 8 of the 3d format:
[07beaa4]715
[e34bebc]716  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[07beaa4]717
[e34bebc]718  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
719    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
[da9d788]720
[e34bebc]721  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
722    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
[da9d788]723
[e34bebc]724  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
[da9d788]725
[e34bebc]726  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
727    human-readable string.
[da9d788]728
[e34bebc]729  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
730    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
[da9d788]731
[e34bebc]732* img library:
[da9d788]733
[e34bebc]734  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[da9d788]735
[e34bebc]736  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
737    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
[da9d788]738
[e34bebc]739  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
740    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
741    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
742    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
743    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
744    explicitly in the file.
[da9d788]745
[e34bebc]746  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
[da9d788]747
[e34bebc]748* aven:
[da9d788]749
[e34bebc]750  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
751    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
752    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
753    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
754    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
755    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
[da9d788]756
[e34bebc]757  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
758    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
759    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
760    queued up.
[da9d788]761
[e34bebc]762  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
763    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
764
765  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
766    them like other legs.
767
768  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
769    station names to positions.
770
771  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
772    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
773    wrongly.
774
775  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
776
777  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
778    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
779    that's used by the desktop).
780
781  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
[07beaa4]782
[e34bebc]783  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
784    error from cavern.
[07beaa4]785
[e34bebc]786  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
[da9d788]787
[e34bebc]788  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
789    in the dialog in sync.
[da9d788]790
[e34bebc]791* cavern:
[3dfffa2]792
[e34bebc]793  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
794    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
795    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
[3dfffa2]796
[e34bebc]797  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
798    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]799
[e34bebc]800  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
801    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
802    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
803    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
804    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
805    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
806    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
807    degrees.
[da9d788]808
[e34bebc]809  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
810    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
811    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
[da9d788]812
[e34bebc]813  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
[da9d788]814
[e34bebc]815  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
816    warnings.
[07beaa4]817
[e34bebc]818  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
819    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
[07beaa4]820
[e34bebc]821  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
822    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
[da9d788]823
[e34bebc]824  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
825    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
826    relevant.
[da9d788]827
[e34bebc]828  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
829    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
830    the same line.
[da9d788]831
[e34bebc]832  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
833    "End of line not blank" error.
[7f6250a]834
[e34bebc]835  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
836    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
[3dfffa2]837
[e34bebc]838  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
839    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
[07beaa4]840
[e34bebc]841  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
842    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
843    include that character in the token reported.
[3dfffa2]844
[e34bebc]845  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
846    first item.
[07beaa4]847
[e34bebc]848* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
[07beaa4]849
[e34bebc]850* dump3d:
[07beaa4]851
[e34bebc]852  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
853    info from 3d files in scripts.
[07beaa4]854
[e34bebc]855  + Add --show-dates option.
[07beaa4]856
[e34bebc]857  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
[07beaa4]858
[e34bebc]859  + Report the data style of legs.
[da9d788]860
[e34bebc]861  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
862
863  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
[3dfffa2]864
865* Test suite:
866
867  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
868    expected output so it passes reliably.
869
[e34bebc]870  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
871    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
872
[07beaa4]873  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
874    for more.
875
[e34bebc]876* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
877  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
878  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
[3dfffa2]879
880* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
881  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
882
883* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
884  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
885
[e34bebc]886* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
[665183c]887  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
[e34bebc]888  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
889  settings.
890
891* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
892  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
893  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
894  set correctly.
895
896* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
897  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
898  them to translate.
899
[07beaa4]900* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
901  close to complete.
[3dfffa2]902
903* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
904
[07beaa4]905* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
906
[e34bebc]907* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
908
[c575465]909Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
[b081031]910
911* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
912
913* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
914  package (ticket#35).
915
916* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
917  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
918  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
919
920* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
921  Kahler.
922
923* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
[c575465]924  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
925  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
926  libproj and build survex with:
927
928      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
929      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
[b081031]930
931* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
932
933* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
934
935* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
936  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
937  file".
938
[685116f]939Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
940
941* aven:
942
943  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
944
945  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
946    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
947
948  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
949
950  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
951
952  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
953    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
954
955* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
956  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
957  error early on).
958
959* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
960  the man page source as well as in the filename.
961
[f15ca67f]962Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
963
964* aven:
965
966  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
967    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
968    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
969    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
970
971  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
972    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
973
974  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
975
976  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
977
978  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
979
980* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
981
[5b9942e]982Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
983
984* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
985
986* (Mac OS X version):
987
988  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
989
990  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
991
992  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
993    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
994
995  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
996
997* aven:
998
999  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
1000
1001  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
1002
1003    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
1004      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
1005      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
1006      character.
1007
1008    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
1009      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
1010      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
1011      and two in a few cases.
1012
1013    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
1014      8 pixels.
1015
1016  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
1017    draw crosses.
1018
[3ea0178]1019  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
1020    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
1021    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
1022    is the start or end of a tube.
1023
[5b9942e]1024  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
1025    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
1026
1027  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
1028    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
1029    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
1030
[3ea0178]1031* extend:
1032
1033  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
[5b9942e]1034
[3ea0178]1035  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
1036    which means "no info").
1037
1038* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
1039  was no longer used - it certainly is!
1040
1041* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
1042  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
1043  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
1044  current character set.
[5b9942e]1045
[3ea0178]1046* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
[5b9942e]1047
1048* Test suite:
1049
1050  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
1051
1052  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
1053
[94960ad]1054Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
1055
1056* aven:
1057
1058  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
1059    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
1060    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
1061    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
1062    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
1063    usable format.
1064
1065  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
1066    files.  (ticket#26)
1067
1068  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
1069    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
1070
[53f8a93]1071  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
1072    using lines.
1073
[94960ad]1074  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
1075    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
1076
1077  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
1078    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
1079    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
1080    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
1081
1082  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
1083    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
1084    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
1085
1086  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
1087    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
1088    in 1.2.1.
1089
[9704252]1090Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
[e3c58c3]1091
1092* Translation updates for US English.
1093
1094* aven:
1095
1096  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
1097    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
1098
1099  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
1100
1101  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
1102    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
1103    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
1104    visually similar to the survey legs.
1105
1106  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
1107    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
1108
[9704252]1109  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
1110    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
1111    does still provide some useful information).
1112
1113  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
1114    a depth band boundary.
[e3c58c3]1115
1116  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
[9704252]1117    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
1118    full-screen mode).
[e3c58c3]1119
1120  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
1121    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
1122    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
1123    are a little better, though still not perfect.
1124
1125  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
1126    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
1127
1128  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
1129    that station.
1130
1131  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
1132    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
1133
1134  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
1135    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
1136    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
[9704252]1137    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
1138    a case as it is a bug).
[e3c58c3]1139
[9704252]1140  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
1141    invalidated on window width or height changes.
[e3c58c3]1142
1143  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
1144    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
1145    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
1146    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
1147
[9704252]1148  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
1149    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
1150    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
1151    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
1152    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
1153    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
1154    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
[e3c58c3]1155
1156  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
1157    similarly for other compass points.
1158
1159  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
1160    info in the "About" dialog.
1161
1162  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
1163    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
1164
1165  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
1166    as well as still working with older versions.
1167
1168  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
1169    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
1170
1171  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
1172    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
1173    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
1174    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
1175    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
1176
1177  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
1178    nicer and make better use of the available space.
1179
1180  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
1181    dialog.
1182
1183  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
1184    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
1185
1186  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
1187    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
1188
[9704252]1189  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
1190
[e3c58c3]1191  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
1192
1193  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
1194    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
1195    being pressed and toggle full screen.
1196
1197* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
1198  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
1199
1200* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
1201
1202* More messages are now available to be translated.
1203
1204* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
1205  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
1206
1207* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
1208
1209* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
1210  sudo for installing on Unix.
1211
1212* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
1213  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
1214
1215* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
1216  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
1217
1218* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1219
[120c1c6]1220Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
[b4ac7007]1221
1222* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
1223  English.
1224
[9cfcb3f]1225* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
1226  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
1227  case.
1228
1229* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
1230  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
1231  these into Survex's .msg format.
1232
[b4ac7007]1233* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
1234  an actual command).
1235
[9cfcb3f]1236* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
1237  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
1238  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
1239  recurrence of that).
1240
[b4ac7007]1241* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
1242  than /usr/doc/survex.
1243
1244* aven:
1245
[120c1c6]1246  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
1247
[9cfcb3f]1248  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
1249    nicer at larger sizes.
1250
[b4ac7007]1251  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
1252    with GLX >= 1.3.
1253
1254  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
1255
1256  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
[4095cc0]1257    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
1258    required libraries set up for building releases.
[b4ac7007]1259
1260  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
1261
1262  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
1263
1264  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
1265    rendered with icons on some platforms.
1266
[9cfcb3f]1267  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
1268    ISO8859-1).
1269
1270  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
1271    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
1272
1273  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
1274    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
1275
[b4ac7007]1276* cavern:
1277
1278  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
1279    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
1280    fatal error!
1281
[9cfcb3f]1282  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
1283    format to output.  (ticket#21)
1284
1285* img library:
1286
1287  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
1288    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
1289
[b4ac7007]1290* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
[120c1c6]1291  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
[b4ac7007]1292
[8f9b0b6d]1293Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]1294
1295* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
1296  Portuguese, and US English.
1297
1298* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]1299  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]1300
1301* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
1302  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
1303
1304* img.c:
1305
1306  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
1307
1308  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
1309
1310* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
1311
[8f9b0b6d]1312* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
1313  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
1314  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
1315  translated.
1316
[f5e3521]1317Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]1318
1319* aven:
1320
1321  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
1322    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
1323
1324  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
1325    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
1326    addresses ticket#12.
1327
1328  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
1329    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
1330    consistent shape.
1331
1332  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
1333    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
1334    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
1335    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
1336
1337  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
1338    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
1339
1340  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
1341
1342  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
1343    more places.
1344
1345  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]1346    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
1347
1348* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
1349
1350* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
1351  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
1352
1353* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]1354
1355* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
1356  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
1357  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
1358  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
1359  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
1360  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
1361
1362* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
1363  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
1364  redirecting to it.
1365
1366* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
1367  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
1368  I/O).
1369
1370* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
1371  headers.
1372
1373* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
1374
1375* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
1376  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
1377
1378* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
1379
[f9473ab]1380Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
1381
1382* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
1383
1384* aven:
1385
1386  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
1387    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
1388    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
1389    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
1390
1391  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
1392
1393  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
1394    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
1395    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
1396    a number.
1397
1398  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
1399    log window.
1400
1401  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
1402    various cases.
1403
1404  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
1405    (ticket#9)
1406
1407  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
1408    namespace with its own "Point" class.
1409
1410  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
1411    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
1412
1413  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
1414
1415  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
1416    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
1417
1418* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
1419  give them before.
1420
1421* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
1422  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
1423  point looking for them now.
1424
1425* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
1426  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
1427  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
1428  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
1429
1430* manual:
1431
1432  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
1433
1434  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
1435    (change taken from 1.0).
1436
1437* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
1438
[0bd49eb]1439Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]1440
1441* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
1442
[739b92c]1443* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]1444
1445* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]1446
1447* aven:
1448
[90d0d71]1449  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
1450
1451  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
1452    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
1453    seem to be Unicode now).
1454
1455  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
1456    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
1457
[e4bfd2f]1458  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
1459    text on the survey pane:
1460
1461    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
1462
1463    - Character spacing is improved.
1464
1465    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]1466
1467  + "About" dialog:
1468
1469    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
1470      bug reporting.
1471
1472    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
1473      modern gfx card.
1474
1475    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
1476
1477  + Processing .svx files:
1478
1479    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]1480
[739b92c]1481    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
1482      than opening a separate frame for it.
1483
[90d0d71]1484    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
1485
1486    - Fix small memory leak.
1487
1488  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
1489    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
1490    such a name.
1491
1492  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
1493
[e4bfd2f]1494  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
1495    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
1496    invocations.
1497
[90d0d71]1498  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
1499
1500  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
1501
[739b92c]1502  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
1503
[90d0d71]1504* Documentation:
1505
[e4bfd2f]1506  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
1507
1508  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
1509    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
1510    together isn't very useful.
1511
[90d0d71]1512  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
1513
1514  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
1515    the FSF website.
1516
1517  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
1518    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
1519    the source code.
1520
1521* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
1522  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]1523
[e4bfd2f]1524* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
1525  package from the source tarball.
1526
[739b92c]1527* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
1528  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
1529
[2e12f8c]1530Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]1531
1532* aven:
1533
[3db0798]1534  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
1535
[5940815]1536  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
1537
[6b2113d]1538  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
1539    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
1540    names/crosses).
1541
[920b066]1542Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
1543
1544* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
1545
[99d8798]1546* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
1547
[920b066]1548* aven:
[78c67a6]1549
[920b066]1550  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]1551
[920b066]1552  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]1553
[920b066]1554  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
1555    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]1556
[920b066]1557  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
1558    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]1559
[920b066]1560  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]1561
[920b066]1562  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
1563    depth colouring.
[99d8798]1564
[920b066]1565  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]1566
[920b066]1567  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]1568
[920b066]1569  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]1570
[920b066]1571  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]1572
[920b066]1573  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]1574
[920b066]1575  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]1576
[920b066]1577  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]1578
[920b066]1579  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]1580
[920b066]1581  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
1582    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]1583
[920b066]1584  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]1585
[920b066]1586  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
1587    default.
[99d8798]1588
[920b066]1589* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
1590  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]1591
[920b066]1592* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
1593  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]1594
[920b066]1595* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]1596
[920b066]1597* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]1598
[920b066]1599Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]1600
1601* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
1602  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
1603  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
1604  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
1605  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
1606
1607* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
1608  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
1609  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]1610
[ac3f376]1611* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
1612  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
1613  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
1614
1615* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
1616  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
1617  allowed).
1618
1619* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
1620
1621* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1622
1623* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1624
[920b066]1625Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]1626
1627* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
1628  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
1629
1630* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
1631  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
1632  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
1633
1634* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
1635  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
1636  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
1637  the new "*data passage" style.
1638
1639* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
1640  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
1641
1642* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
1643  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
1644  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
1645  some cases.
1646
1647* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
1648  with no survey loaded.
1649
1650* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
1651
1652* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
1653  loaded a survey.
1654
1655* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
1656
1657* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
1658
1659* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
1660  doesn't exist.
1661
1662* Updated French and Italian translations.
1663
1664* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]1665  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
1666
[6a2594be]1667* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
1668  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
1669  update their copy).
1670
1671* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
1672  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
1673  trying to compile).
1674
[920b066]1675Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]1676
[c988ae4]1677* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
1678  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
1679
[9577fcc]1680* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
1681  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
1682  has been disabled.
1683
[ecf2d23]1684* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
1685  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
1686  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
1687  time.
1688
[d1628e8e]1689* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
1690  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
1691  highlighted stations.
1692
[e67ed1b]1693* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
1694
[3ddd351]1695* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
1696  the tilt from plan to elevation.
1697
[c988ae4]1698* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
1699  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
1700
1701* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
1702  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
1703  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
1704
1705* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
1706  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
1707
1708* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
1709
[84f1ed1]1710* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
1711
[a884696]1712* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
1713
[9fe7af4f]1714* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
1715  run by an unprivileged user.
1716
1717* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
1718  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
1719  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
1720
1721* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
1722  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
1723
[cd39f67]1724* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
1725
[afffec4]1726* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]1727  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]1728
[38a192d]1729* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
1730  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
1731
[5892e08]1732* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
1733  if it isn't.
1734
[879e9c3]1735* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
1736  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
1737
[c8f929b]1738* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
1739  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
1740
1741* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
1742  reset to default view as well).
1743
1744* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
1745  empty.
1746
1747* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
1748  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
1749
[9ad92cc]1750* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]1751  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
1752  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]1753
1754* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
1755  and non-zero width lines.
1756
1757* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
1758  was turned on.
1759
1760* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
1761  not always being fully written.
1762
[920b066]1763Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]1764
1765* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
1766  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
1767  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
1768  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]1769
[8add4c9]1770* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
1771  with MS Windows).
1772
[9f524ee]1773* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
1774  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
1775  several surveys in the same directory).
1776
[185d793]1777* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]1778  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]1779
[3515947]1780* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
1781
[1235f9b]1782* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
1783  moved off a station.
1784
[4299674]1785* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]1786  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]1787
[60dbe70]1788* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
1789
[125c9ea]1790* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
1791  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
1792
[ec58e3d3]1793* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
1794  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
1795  dialogs.
1796
[8add4c9]1797* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
1798  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
1799
[6662d02]1800* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
1801  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]1802  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]1803
[b65c13f]1804* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
1805  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
1806  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
1807
[17cce5f]1808* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
1809  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
1810
[affaeee]1811* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
1812
[618b01f]1813* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
1814
[920b066]1815Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]1816
1817* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
1818  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
1819
[b88b171]1820* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
1821  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
1822  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
1823  3d file.
1824
[7e01c87]1825* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
1826
1827* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
1828
1829* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
1830  Instead turn off depth colouring.
1831
[8ea82aa]1832* aven: Export as HPGL added.
1833
[887c26e]1834* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
1835  Martin Green).
1836
[7c29c976]1837* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
1838  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
1839  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
1840
[7e01c87]1841* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]1842
[7e01c87]1843* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
1844  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
1845
1846* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
1847  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
1848  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
1849  of everything else.
1850
1851* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
1852  presentation icons.
1853
1854* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
1855  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]1856
[b46bf92]1857* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
1858
[796d7bf]1859* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
1860
[7e01c87]1861* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
1862
1863* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
1864
[b88b171]1865* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
1866  language to use for messages.
1867
[7c29c976]1868* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
1869  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
1870
[8ea82aa]1871* Removed old printer drivers.
1872
[7e01c87]1873* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
1874  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]1875
[920b066]1876Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]1877
1878* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
1879
[4ba80e0]1880* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
1881
1882* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
1883  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
1884
[95ce35f]1885* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
1886  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]1887
[95ce35f]1888* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
1889
[cd78148]1890* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
1891  underground legs is toggled.
1892
[f5627353]1893* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
1894  attached to the previous data.
1895
[dfe4a520]1896* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
1897  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
1898  them.
1899
[920b066]1900Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]1901
1902* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
1903
1904* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
1905  continental European countries).
1906
1907* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
1908  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
1909  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
1910
1911* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
1912
1913* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
1914  they're needed.
1915
1916* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
1917
1918* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
1919
1920* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
1921
1922* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
1923  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
1924  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
1925
1926* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
1927
[920b066]1928Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]1929
1930* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
1931
1932* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
1933
1934* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
1935
1936* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
1937
1938* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
1939
1940* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
1941
1942* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
1943  when there's a presentation loaded.
1944
1945* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
1946  in cave view.
1947
1948* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
1949
1950* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
1951  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
1952  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
1953
1954* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
1955  filename for file history and window title.
1956
1957* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
1958  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
1959  only needed with GTK1.2.
1960
1961* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
1962
1963* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
1964
1965* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
1966
1967* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
1968
1969Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]1970
1971* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
1972  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
1973  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
1974
1975* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
1976  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
1977
1978* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
1979  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
1980  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
1981  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]1982
[0e558e5]1983* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]1984
1985* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
1986  with --help and --version.
1987
1988* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
1989  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]1990  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]1991  Fixed all these problems.
1992
1993* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
1994  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
1995  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
1996
1997* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]1998  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
1999  sources.
[8faa5d8]2000
[0e558e5]2001* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]2002
2003* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
2004
2005* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
2006  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
2007
2008* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
2009  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
2010  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
2011  animating.
2012
2013* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
2014
2015* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
2016
2017* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
2018  to this branch.
2019
2020* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
2021
2022  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
2023
2024  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
2025
2026  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
2027
2028* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]2029
[8faa5d8]2030* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
2031  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
2032
2033* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
2034
2035* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]2036  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]2037
2038* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
2039
2040* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
2041  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
2042  for anyone building from CVS).
2043
2044* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
2045
[4855072]2046* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]2047
2048* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
2049
2050* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
2051
[0e558e5]2052* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
2053  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]2054  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
2055
2056* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
2057  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
2058
2059* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
2060
2061* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]2062  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
2063  loaded).
[8faa5d8]2064
2065* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
2066
[920b066]2067Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]2068
2069* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]2070  startup.
[a7aa27d9]2071
2072* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
2073  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
2074
[920b066]2075Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]2076
[91e416e]2077* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
2078  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
2079  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]2080
[91e416e]2081* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
2082  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
2083  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]2084
[91e416e]2085* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
2086  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
2087  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]2088
[91e416e]2089* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]2090
[0580c6a]2091* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
2092  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
2093
[4261983]2094* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
2095  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
2096
2097* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
2098  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]2099
[f80077a]2100* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]2101
[6abab84]2102* aven: Perspective view.
2103
[91e416e]2104* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]2105
[91e416e]2106* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
2107  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]2108
[1690fa9]2109* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
2110  and load/save/run them.
2111
[0580c6a]2112* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
2113
[045e2af]2114* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
2115
[c60062d]2116* aven: Depth fogging option.
2117
[0580c6a]2118* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
2119
2120* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
2121
[f433fda]2122* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
2123  showing the surface legs.
2124
[0580c6a]2125* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
