RevLine 
[9cfcb3f]1Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-16):
[b4ac7007]2
3* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
4  English.
5
[9cfcb3f]6* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
7  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
8  case.
9
10* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
11  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
12  these into Survex's .msg format.
13
[b4ac7007]14* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
15  an actual command).
16
[9cfcb3f]17* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
18  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
19  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
20  recurrence of that).
21
[b4ac7007]22* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
23  than /usr/doc/survex.
24
25* aven:
26
[9cfcb3f]27  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
28    nicer at larger sizes.
29
[b4ac7007]30  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
31    with GLX >= 1.3.
32
33  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
34
35  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
36
37  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
38
39  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
40
41  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
42    rendered with icons on some platforms.
43
[9cfcb3f]44  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
45    ISO8859-1).
46
47  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
48    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
49
50  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
51    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
52
[b4ac7007]53* cavern:
54
55  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
56    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
57    fatal error!
58
[9cfcb3f]59  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
60    format to output.  (ticket#21)
61
62* img library:
63
64  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
65    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
66
[b4ac7007]67* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
68  volume actually gets mounted.  Build for x86_64 as well as i386.  Fix URL
69  for downloading wxWidgets, and use wxWidgets 2.8.12 by default.
70
[8f9b0b6d]71Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]72
73* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
74  Portuguese, and US English.
75
76* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]77  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]78
79* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
80  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
81
82* img.c:
83
84  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
85
86  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
87
88* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
89
[8f9b0b6d]90* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
91  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
92  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
93  translated.
94
[f5e3521]95Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]96
97* aven:
98
99  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
100    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
101
102  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
103    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
104    addresses ticket#12.
105
106  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
107    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
108    consistent shape.
109
110  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
111    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
112    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
113    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
114
115  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
116    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
117
118  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
119
120  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
121    more places.
122
123  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]124    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
125
126* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
127
128* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
129  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
130
131* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]132
133* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
134  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
135  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
136  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
137  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
138  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
139
140* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
141  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
142  redirecting to it.
143
144* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
145  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
146  I/O).
147
148* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
149  headers.
150
151* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
152
153* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
154  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
155
156* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
157
[f9473ab]158Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
159
160* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
161
162* aven:
163
164  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
165    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
166    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
167    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
168
169  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
170
171  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
172    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
173    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
174    a number.
175
176  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
177    log window.
178
179  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
180    various cases.
181
182  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
183    (ticket#9)
184
185  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
186    namespace with its own "Point" class.
187
188  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
189    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
190
191  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
192
193  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
194    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
195
196* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
197  give them before.
198
199* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
200  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
201  point looking for them now.
202
203* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
204  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
205  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
206  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
207
208* manual:
209
210  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
211
212  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
213    (change taken from 1.0).
214
215* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
216
[0bd49eb]217Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]218
219* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
220
[739b92c]221* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]222
223* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]224
225* aven:
226
[90d0d71]227  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
228
229  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
230    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
231    seem to be Unicode now).
232
233  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
234    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
235
[e4bfd2f]236  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
237    text on the survey pane:
238
239    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
240
241    - Character spacing is improved.
242
243    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]244
245  + "About" dialog:
246
247    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
248      bug reporting.
249
250    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
251      modern gfx card.
252
253    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
254
255  + Processing .svx files:
256
257    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]258
[739b92c]259    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
260      than opening a separate frame for it.
261
[90d0d71]262    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
263
264    - Fix small memory leak.
265
266  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
267    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
268    such a name.
269
270  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
271
[e4bfd2f]272  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
273    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
274    invocations.
275
[90d0d71]276  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
277
278  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
279
[739b92c]280  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
281
[90d0d71]282* Documentation:
283
[e4bfd2f]284  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
285
286  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
287    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
288    together isn't very useful.
289
[90d0d71]290  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
291
292  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
293    the FSF website.
294
295  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
296    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
297    the source code.
298
299* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
300  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]301
[e4bfd2f]302* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
303  package from the source tarball.
304
[739b92c]305* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
306  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
307
[2e12f8c]308Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]309
310* aven:
311
[3db0798]312  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
313
[5940815]314  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
315
[6b2113d]316  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
317    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
318    names/crosses).
319
[920b066]320Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
321
322* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
323
[99d8798]324* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
325
[920b066]326* aven:
[78c67a6]327
[920b066]328  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]329
[920b066]330  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]331
[920b066]332  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
333    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]334
[920b066]335  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
336    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]337
[920b066]338  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]339
[920b066]340  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
341    depth colouring.
[99d8798]342
[920b066]343  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]344
[920b066]345  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]346
[920b066]347  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]348
[920b066]349  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]350
[920b066]351  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]352
[920b066]353  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]354
[920b066]355  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]356
[920b066]357  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]358
[920b066]359  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
360    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]361
[920b066]362  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]363
[920b066]364  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
365    default.
[99d8798]366
[920b066]367* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
368  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]369
[920b066]370* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
371  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]372
[920b066]373* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]374
[920b066]375* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]376
[920b066]377Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]378
379* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
380  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
381  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
382  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
383  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
384
385* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
386  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
387  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]388
[ac3f376]389* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
390  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
391  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
392
393* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
394  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
395  allowed).
396
397* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
398
399* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
400
401* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
402
[920b066]403Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]404
405* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
406  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
407
408* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
409  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
410  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
411
412* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
413  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
414  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
415  the new "*data passage" style.
416
417* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
418  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
419
420* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
421  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
422  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
423  some cases.
424
425* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
426  with no survey loaded.
427
428* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
429
430* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
431  loaded a survey.
432
433* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
434
435* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
436
437* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
438  doesn't exist.
439
440* Updated French and Italian translations.
441
442* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]443  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
444
[6a2594be]445* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
446  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
447  update their copy).
448
449* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
450  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
451  trying to compile).
452
[920b066]453Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]454
[c988ae4]455* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
456  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
457
[9577fcc]458* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
459  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
460  has been disabled.
461
[ecf2d23]462* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
463  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
464  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
465  time.
466
[d1628e8e]467* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
468  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
469  highlighted stations.
470
[e67ed1b]471* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
472
[3ddd351]473* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
474  the tilt from plan to elevation.
475
[c988ae4]476* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
477  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
478
479* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
480  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
481  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
482
483* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
484  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
485
486* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
487
[84f1ed1]488* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
489
[a884696]490* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
491
[9fe7af4f]492* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
493  run by an unprivileged user.
494
495* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
496  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
497  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
498
499* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
500  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
501
[cd39f67]502* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
503
[afffec4]504* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]505  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]506
[38a192d]507* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
508  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
509
[5892e08]510* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
511  if it isn't.
512
[879e9c3]513* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
514  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
515
[c8f929b]516* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
517  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
518
519* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
520  reset to default view as well).
521
522* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
523  empty.
524
525* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
526  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
527
[9ad92cc]528* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]529  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
530  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]531
532* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
533  and non-zero width lines.
534
535* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
536  was turned on.
537
538* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
539  not always being fully written.
540
[920b066]541Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]542
543* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
544  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
545  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
546  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]547
[8add4c9]548* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
549  with MS Windows).
550
[9f524ee]551* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
552  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
553  several surveys in the same directory).
554
[185d793]555* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]556  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]557
[3515947]558* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
559
[1235f9b]560* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
561  moved off a station.
562
[4299674]563* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]564  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]565
[60dbe70]566* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
567
[125c9ea]568* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
569  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
570
[ec58e3d3]571* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
572  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
573  dialogs.
574
[8add4c9]575* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
576  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
577
[6662d02]578* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
579  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]580  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]581
[b65c13f]582* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
583  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
584  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
585
[17cce5f]586* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
587  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
588
[affaeee]589* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
590
[618b01f]591* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
592
[920b066]593Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]594
595* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
596  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
597
[b88b171]598* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
599  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
600  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
601  3d file.
602
[7e01c87]603* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
604
605* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
606
607* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
608  Instead turn off depth colouring.
609
[8ea82aa]610* aven: Export as HPGL added.
611
[887c26e]612* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
613  Martin Green).
614
[7c29c976]615* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
616  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
617  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
618
[7e01c87]619* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]620
[7e01c87]621* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
622  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
623
624* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
625  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
626  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
627  of everything else.
628
629* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
630  presentation icons.
631
632* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
633  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]634
[b46bf92]635* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
636
[796d7bf]637* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
638
[7e01c87]639* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
640
641* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
642
[b88b171]643* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
644  language to use for messages.
645
[7c29c976]646* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
647  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
648
[8ea82aa]649* Removed old printer drivers.
650
[7e01c87]651* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
652  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]653
[920b066]654Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]655
656* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
657
[4ba80e0]658* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
659
660* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
661  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
662
[95ce35f]663* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
664  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]665
[95ce35f]666* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
667
[cd78148]668* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
669  underground legs is toggled.
670
[f5627353]671* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
672  attached to the previous data.
673
[dfe4a520]674* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
675  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
676  them.
677
[920b066]678Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]679
680* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
681
682* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
683  continental European countries).
684
685* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
686  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
687  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
688
689* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
690
691* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
692  they're needed.
693
694* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
695
696* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
697
698* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
699
700* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
701  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
702  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
703
704* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
705
[920b066]706Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]707
708* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
709
710* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
711
712* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
713
714* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
715
716* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
717
718* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
719
720* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
721  when there's a presentation loaded.
722
723* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
724  in cave view.
725
726* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
727
728* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
729  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
730  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
731
732* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
733  filename for file history and window title.
734
735* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
736  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
737  only needed with GTK1.2.
738
739* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
740
741* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
742
743* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
744
745* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
746
747Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]748
749* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
750  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
751  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
752
753* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
754  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
755
756* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
757  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
758  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
759  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]760
[0e558e5]761* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]762
763* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
764  with --help and --version.
765
766* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
767  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]768  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]769  Fixed all these problems.
770
771* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
772  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
773  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
774
775* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]776  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
777  sources.
[8faa5d8]778
[0e558e5]779* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]780
781* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
782
783* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
784  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
785
786* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
787  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
788  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
789  animating.
790
791* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
792
793* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
794
795* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
796  to this branch.
797
798* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
799
800  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
801
802  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
803
804  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
805
806* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]807
[8faa5d8]808* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
809  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
810
811* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
812
813* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]814  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]815
816* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
817
818* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
819  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
820  for anyone building from CVS).
821
822* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
823
[4855072]824* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]825
826* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
827
828* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
829
[0e558e5]830* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
831  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]832  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
833
834* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
835  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
836
837* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
838
839* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]840  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
841  loaded).
[8faa5d8]842
843* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
844
[920b066]845Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]846
847* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]848  startup.
[a7aa27d9]849
850* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
851  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
852
[920b066]853Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]854
[91e416e]855* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
856  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
857  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]858
[91e416e]859* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
860  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
861  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]862
[91e416e]863* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
864  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
865  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]866
[91e416e]867* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]868
[0580c6a]869* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
870  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
871
[4261983]872* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
873  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
874
875* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
876  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]877
[f80077a]878* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]879
[6abab84]880* aven: Perspective view.
881
[91e416e]882* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]883
[91e416e]884* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
885  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]886
[1690fa9]887* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
888  and load/save/run them.
889
[0580c6a]890* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
891
[045e2af]892* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
893
[c60062d]894* aven: Depth fogging option.
895
[0580c6a]896* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
897
898* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
899
[f433fda]900* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
901  showing the surface legs.
902
[0580c6a]903* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
Note: See TracBrowser for help on using the repository browser.
