[bad7f1a]1Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-03-07):
[752a9f5]2
3* cavern:
4
5  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
6    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
7    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
8    mailing list.
[7bc4300]9
[752a9f5]10  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
11    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
12    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
13    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
14
[bad7f1a]15  + When opening a file, cavern has fallback handling if the file isn't found
16    to help people processing datasets from platforms with case-insensitive
17    file systems.  Previously cavern would fold the filename to lowercase and
18    retry.  Now if this fails, it will also try the lower case version but
19    with the initial character of the leaf in upper case, and finally folding
20    the whole specified filename to upper case.
21
22  + Dynamically pick a suitable level separator character and store it in .3d
23    file, instead of it being hard-coded to '.' (we still use '.' unless it
24    has been *set as a "name" character, or for Compass DAT/MAK files unless it
25    has been used in a station name).  This is a step towards addressing the
26    situations raised by Thomas Holder in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4
27    and https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/5 .
28
[9e62108]29  + Compass DAT files:
[e5e93f9]30
[bad7f1a]31    - The shot flag S is now understood to indicate a splay.
32
33    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
34      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
35      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
36      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
37      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
38      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
39
[9e62108]40    - Surveys which indicate a depth gauge was used for azimuth readings are
41      now marked as STYLE_DIVING in the 3d file.
[e5e93f9]42
[bad7f1a]43    - Compass and clino corrections are now implemented for backsights.
[e5e93f9]44
[9e62108]45    - The tape correction in Compass DAT files is now handled correctly.  The
46      specified value is in feet, but cavern was incorrectly treating it as
47      being in metres.
48
49    - We now handle the newer 15 character "FORMAT:" encoding.  Previously
50      cavern wouldn't detect when there were backsights in this case.
51
52    - We now treat survey date January 1st 1901 as "no date specified" since
53      this is the date Compass stores in this situation, and it seems very
54      unlikely to occur in real data.
55
56    - In Compass DAT files a dummy zero-length leg from a station to itself is
57      used to provide a place to specify LRUD for the start or end of a
58      traverse (depending if dimensions are measured at the from or to
59      station), and so we no longer issue a warning about equating a station to
60      itself for DAT files.
61
62  + Compass MAK files:
63
[bad7f1a]64    - The base location command is now understood.  This is how Compass
65      specifies a location to calculate magnetic declination at, and we
66      now handle this like Survex's native "*declination auto X Y Z".
67
[9d6646a]68    - Survex uses the specified UTM zone and datum provided the combination can
69      be expressed as an EPSG code (lack of any EPSG codes for a datum suggests
70      it's obsolete; lack of a code for a particular datum+zone combination
71      suggests the zone is outside of the defined area of use of the datum).
72      Example Compass files we've seen use "North American 1927" outside of
73      where it's defined for use, presumably because some users fail to change
74      the datum from Compass' default.  To enable reading such files we return
75      a PROJ4 string of the form "+proj=utm ..." for "North American 1927" and
76      "North American 1983" for UTM zones which don't have an EPSG code.
77      Please let us know if support for additional cases which aren't currently
78      supported would be useful to you.
[e5e93f9]79
[bad7f1a]80    - Folder commands are now understood.
[7bc4300]81
[bad7f1a]82    - Flag fixed stations as entrances.  Experimentation with Compass shows
83      this is how it treats them ("distance from entrance" in a .DAT file
84      counts from 0 at these points).
[9e62108]85
[bad7f1a]86  + We now support reading Compass CLP files.  These are very like DAT files,
87    except they contain loop-closed data.  You might find this useful if you
88    want to keep existing stations at the same adjusted positions Compass gave
89    (for example to be able to draw extensions on an existing drawn-up survey),
90    or if the original DAT file has been lost but you still have the CLP file.
[9e62108]91
[bad7f1a]92* aven:
[7bc4300]93
[bad7f1a]94  + Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
95    Philip Balister.
[7bc4300]96
[bad7f1a]97  + Split the filters for DAT and MAK files in the File->Open drop down list.
98    It seems more likely you'd want to see one type or the other, not both
99    together.
[7bc4300]100
[bad7f1a]101* aven/survexport:
[7bc4300]102
[bad7f1a]103  + Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
[b1c66e1]104
[bad7f1a]105  + .json,.kml: Enable export of surface legs.  Currently surface and
106    underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats when both
107    are enabled.
[7bc4300]108
[bad7f1a]109  + .3d: The coordinate system is now set.
110
111  + .svg: Equated stations now get their correct names in the id attribute
112    of <circle> tags.  Previously one of the names would be repeated for
113    all of a set of equated stations.
114
115  + .plt:
116
117    - Anonymous stations previously resulted in an empty name in the PLT
118      file.  This isn't explicitly disallowed by the PLT format description,
119      but Compass' viewer gives an error for such lines.  Now we invent names
120      by encoding the station coordinates which should be unique.
121
122    - The S shot flag is now set for splays, and the P shot flag (hide from
123      plotting) is set for surface legs (which matches the use suggested in the
124      Compass docs).
[e5e93f9]125
[752a9f5]126* img library:
127
128  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
129    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
130    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
131    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
132    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
133    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
134    default).
135
[9e62108]136  + Improve Compass PLT support (many of these are Compass features added
137    since Survex's support for Compass was originally added):
138
139    - Survey dates are now handled fully.  We treat survey date January 1st
140      1901 as "no date specified" since this is the date Compass stores in this
141      situation, and it seems very unlikely to occur in real data.
142
143    - LRUD data is now translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END.
144
145    - We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE for stations where the "Distance From
146      Entrance" field is present and zero.
147
148    - The shot flag L is now translated to img_FLAG_DUPLICATE.
149
150    - The shot flag S is now translated to img_FLAG_SPLAY.  A station at the
151      far end of a shot flagged S gets img_SFLAG_WALL set since the Compass PLT
152      format specification says:
153
154          The shot is a "splay" shot, which is a shot from a station to the
155          wall to define the passage shape.
156
157    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
158      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
159      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
160      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
161      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
162      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
163
164    - The d plot command is now supported (previously img failed to parse
165      PLT files using this command) - it's like D but implies the P shot flag.
166
167    - If a PLT file only uses one datum and it is "WGS 1984" then the UTM zone
168      is converted to the appropriate EPSG code and this is reported as the
169      coordinate system.  Other datums could be handled, but the mapping to
170      EPSG code is less simple.  Also it seems Compass supports at least
171      24 datums but it doesn't document all the strings it uses for them.
172      Files with multiple datums could be handled too, but we'd need to convert
173      coordinates to a common coordinate system in the img library, which would
174      need it to depend on PROJ.  Please let us know if support for more and/or
175      mixed datums would be useful to you.
176
177    - Duplicate img_LABEL items are no longer returned - this used to happen
178      for stations where more than two shots met within a single survey.
179
180    - We now infer img_SFLAG_EXPORTED for any station that appears in more
181      than one survey in the PLT file.
182
183    - We now set flag img_SFLAG_FIXED for any station which is listed as
184      a fixed point in the PLT file.
185
186    - If there's only one non-empty section name in a PLT file and we aren't
187      filtering by survey, we now report that section name as the title.  If
188      there are multiple different non-empty section names, we still report the
189      basename of the file as before.  If we're filtering by survey, we report
190      the comment for that survey as before.
191
192    - Fix bug handling PLT with omitted LRUD.  The format specification
193      documents that LRUD may be omitted, though it seems Compass never
194      actually omits it and at least some versions of Compass failed to handle
195      it being omitted too.
196
[bad7f1a]197* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
198
199* manual:
200
201  + Document Compass support in detail.
202
203  + Improve NATO mils example.
204
205* INSTALL:
206
207  + Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by Andrew
208    Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
209
210  + Document the requirement for a C99 compiler for building from source.
211    We made this a requirement in 1.4.2, but only noted it in NEWS.
212
213* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
214
215* Replace references to "libav" with "FFmpeg" since the libav project seems to
216  now be defunct, and we've always supported using either.
217
218* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros and drop
219  probes for features that we can safely assume now we require a C99 compiler
220  and workarounds for obsolete platforms.
221
222* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
223
[a30f7d0]224Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
[1a67f93]225
226* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
227
228* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
[a30f7d0]229  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
[1a67f93]230
231* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
232
233* Minor translation updates.
234
[269106c]235Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
236
237* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
238  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
239
240* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
241  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
242  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
243  checks that were rejecting this.
244
245  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
246  really do that's better than that.
247
248  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
249
250* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
251  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
252  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
253  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
254  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
255
256* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
257  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
258
259* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
260  bearing spin control.
261
262* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
263  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
264  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
265  currently but please report issues.
266
267* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
268  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
269  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
270  position".
271
272* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
273  Reported by echarlie
274
275* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
276
[fcf3d2e]277Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
[4c0900b]278
[4659b8a]279* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
[4c0900b]280
281* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
282  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
283
284* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
285  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
286
287* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
288  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
289
[4659b8a]290* Minor translation updates.
[4c0900b]291
[4659b8a]292* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
293  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
294  works on Wayland).
[4c0900b]295
296* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
297  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
298
[fcf3d2e]299* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
300
[4659b8a]301* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
302  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
303  Requested by Martin Budaj.
304
[a33237fd]305Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
[d2b22b1]306
307* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
308
309* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
310
[48d5a6f]311* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
312  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
313
[a33237fd]314* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
315  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
316  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
317  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
318
[48d5a6f]319* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
320  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
321  Patch from Thomas Holder.
322
323* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
324  string properly.
[d2b22b1]325
[a33237fd]326* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
327  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
328  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
329  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
330  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
331  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
332  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
333
334* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
335  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
336
337  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
338
[d2b22b1]339* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
340  where the included filename is actually specified.
341
342* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
343  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
344
[a33237fd]345* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
346  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
347  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
348
[48d5a6f]349* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
350  running on the Continuous Integration system.
351
[a33237fd]352* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
353  newer version of Innosetup.  Most notably, it now supports installing as a
[812a8d7]354  non-admin user.  This also means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the minimum
355  supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support anyway.
[a33237fd]356
357* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
358  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
359
[d2b22b1]360* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
361
[d8f00a9]362* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
363  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
364  inconvenience anyone.
365
[570b57d]366Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
367
368* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
369
370* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
371  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
372  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
373  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
374
375* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
376  in 1.4.0.
377
378* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
379
[67f9739]380Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
[3b69f29]381
382* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
[cccc545]383  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
384  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
385  Couwenberg.
[3b69f29]386
387  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
388  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
389  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
390  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
391
392  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
[e91c656]393  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
[3b69f29]394
395* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
396  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
397  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
398
399* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
400  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
401  strings is strongly discouraged.
402
403  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
404
405  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
406
[67f9739]407  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
408  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
[3b69f29]409
410* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
411  Green.
412
413* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
414  echarlie.
415
416* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
417  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
418  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
419
420* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
421
[67f9739]422* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
423
[3b69f29]424* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
425
426* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
427
428* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
429  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
430  stations not attached to a fixed point.
431
[738af38]432Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
433
434* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
435  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
436  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
437  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
438  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
439
440* aven:
441
442  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
443    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
444    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
445    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
446    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
447    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
448
449* testsuite:
450
451  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
452    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
453    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
454    process exits.
455
456* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
457
[38bc415]458Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
459
460* aven:
461
462  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
[f9de21a]463
464* cavern:
465
[66b477f]466  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
467
468  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
469    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
470    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
471
[f9de21a]472  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
473    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
474    until the next *data command with parameters.
475
476  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
477    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
478
479  * Improve test coverage.
480
481* survexport:
482
483  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
484    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
485
486  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
487    Batista.
488
489* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
490  Holder.
491
[66b477f]492* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
493  from Thomas Holder.
494
[f9de21a]495* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
496  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
497
498* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
499
500* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
501
502* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
503
504* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
505
506* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
507
[fe8a1b4]508Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
509
510* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
511  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
512  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
513
514* aven:
515
516  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
517    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
518    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
519
520  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
521    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
522    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
523    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
524
525  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
526    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
527    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
528
529  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
530
[040c02e]531Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
532
533* aven:
534
535  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
536
537  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
538    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
539    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
540
541  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
542    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
543    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
544    orientation.
545
546* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
547  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
548  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
549  Richard Knapp.
550
551* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
552  might still need to use them for.
553
554* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
555
556* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
557
558* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
559  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
560  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
561  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
562
563* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
564  is now the recommended approach.
565
[0957d63]566Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
567
568* aven:
569
570  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
571    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
572    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
573    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
574    Brian Clipstone.
575
576  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
577    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
578
[d034033]579Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
580
581* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
582  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
583  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
584
585* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
586  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
587  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
588  with some compilers.
589
590* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
591  installed.
592
[9fe70e44]593Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
594
595* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
596  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
597  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
598
599* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
600  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
601  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
602
603* aven:
604
605  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
606    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
607    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
608    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
609    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
610    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
611    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
612    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
613    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
614    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
615    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
616
617  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
618
619* Documentation:
620
621  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
622
623  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
624    placeholder.
625
626  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
627    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
628
629* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
630  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
631  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
632
633* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
634  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
635  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
636  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
637  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
638  location to avoid confusion.
639
640* Add a few more message translations.
641
642* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
643
[66b555d]644Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
645
646* cavern:
647
648  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
649    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
650    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
651    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
652    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
653
654  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
655    now reports "file not found" instead.
656
657  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
658    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
659    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
660
661* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
662
663* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
664  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
665  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
666  removed.
667
668* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
669  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
670  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
671  information.  Patch from James Begley.
672
[3147062]673Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
674
675* aven:
676
677  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
678    controllable.
679
680  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
681
682  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
683    Patch from Robert Jones.
684
685  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
686    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
687    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
688
[0482978]689  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
690    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
691
[3ed7da1]692* cavern:
[3147062]693
[3ed7da1]694  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
695    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
[3147062]696
[3ed7da1]697  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
698    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
699    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
700    go unnoticed.
[3147062]701
702* survexport:
703
704  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
705    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
706    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
707
708  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
709    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
710    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
711    Stephen Crabtree.
712
713* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
714
715* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
716  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
717
718* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
719  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
720  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
721  therion's team command.
722
[26ab0a7]723Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
724
725* aven:
726
727  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
728
729  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
730    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
731    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
732    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
733    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
734    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
735    for new entrances.
736
737  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
738    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
739    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
740    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
741
742  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
743
744  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
745    to show via the right-click menu.
746
747  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
748    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
749    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
750    child surveys of the parent.
751
752  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
753    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
754    survey.
755
756  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
757    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
758
759  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
760
761  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
762    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
763
764  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
765    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
766    filtering this matters more).
767
768* survexport:
769
770  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
771    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
772
773  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
774
775* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
776
777* Minor translation updates.
778
779* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
780
781* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
782
783* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
784
[facb636]785Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
786
787* aven:
788
789  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
790    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
791    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
792    on screen, printed and exported.
793
794  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
795    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
796    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
797    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
798    survey.
799
800  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
801    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
802    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
803    view.  Reported by Wookey.
804
805  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
806    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
807    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
808
809  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
810    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
811
812  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
813    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
814
815  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
816    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
817
818  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
819    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
820
821  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
822    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
823
824* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
825  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
826  tools could do, plus much more.
827
828* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
829
830* Minor updates to various other translations.
831
832* img library:
833
834  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
835
836  + Improve API documentation.
837
838* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
839  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
840  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
841
842* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
843  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
844  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
845  control what gets exported.
846
[5279c800]847Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
848
849* aven:
850
851  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
852    of 1.2.33.
853
854  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
855
[f057bc1]856Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
857
858* aven:
859
860  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
861    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
862    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
863    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
864
865  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
866    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
867    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
868    Erin Lynch.
869
870  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
871    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
872    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
873
874  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
875    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
876    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
877    unnecessarily.
878
879  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
880    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
881    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
882    for this control).
883
884  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
885    under GTK3.
886
887  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
888    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
889    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
890
891  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
892    current development version).
893
894  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
895    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
896    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
897
898* cavern:
899
900  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
901    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
902    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
903    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
904    "19".
905
906* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
907  Evaristo Quiroga.
908
909* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
910
911* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
912  milosch.
913
914* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
915  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
916  translated messages.
917
918* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
919  Indonesian and Polish.
920
921* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
922  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
923  Reported by Martin Sluka.
924
925* Fix a few compiler warnings.
926
927* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
928  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
929  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
930
931* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
932
933  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
934    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
935    but happens to fail if it isn't.
936
937  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
938
939  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
940
941  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
942
943* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
944  detected at run time on macOS.
945
946* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
947  by the homebrew formula.
948
949* buildmacosx.sh:
950
951  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
952    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
953
954  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
955
956* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
957  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
958
[66576b6]959Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
960
961* aven:
962
963  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
964    and Anthony Day.
965
966  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
967    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
968    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
969    Erin Lynch in #89.
970
971  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
972    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
973    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
974    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
975    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
976    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
977    elevations.
978
979  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
980    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
981    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
982
983  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
984    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
985    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
986    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
987    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
988    "on".
989
990  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
991    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
992
993  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
994    the display wouldn't update right away.
995
996* Manual:
997
998  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
999
1000  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
1001
1002* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
1003  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
1004  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
1005  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
1006  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
1007
[28695f1]1008Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
[11c814b]1009
1010* aven:
1011
1012  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
1013    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
1014    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
1015
1016  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
1017    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
1018    before by others.
1019
1020  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
1021
1022  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
1023    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
1024    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
1025    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
1026    original change.
1027
[28695f1]1028  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
1029    which extends beyond the end of the line).
[11c814b]1030
1031  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
1032    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
1033
1034  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
1035
[28695f1]1036  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
[11c814b]1037
[28695f1]1038  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
1039    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
1040    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
1041    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
1042    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
1043    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
1044    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
[11c814b]1045
1046  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
1047    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
1048
[28695f1]1049  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
1050    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
1051    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
1052
1053  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
1054    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
1055    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
1056    much vertical range.
1057
1058  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
1059    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
1060    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
1061    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
1062    are drawn in this way.
1063
1064  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
1065    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
1066    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
1067    centre should be a single pixel.
[11c814b]1068
1069* cavern:
1070
[28695f1]1071  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
1072    entering passage data where there are side passages.
1073
1074  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
1075    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
1076
[11c814b]1077  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
1078    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
[28695f1]1079    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
1080    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
[11c814b]1081
1082  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
1083    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
1084    Reported by Erin Lynch.
1085
1086  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
1087    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
1088    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
1089    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
1090
1091  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
1092    other messages.
1093
[28695f1]1094* extend:
1095
1096  + Now runs a bit faster.
1097
1098  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
1099    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
1100    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
1101    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
1102    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
1103    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
1104    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
1105    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
1106    be handled better) most welcome.
1107
1108* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
1109
1110* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
1111
1112* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
1113  translations from therion.
1114
1115* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
1116  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
1117
[11c814b]1118* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
1119  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
1120  Footleg.
1121
[28695f1]1122* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
1123
1124* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
[11c814b]1125
[56b37f3]1126Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
1127
1128* aven:
1129
1130  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
1131    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1132
1133  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
1134    Suggested by detrito.
1135
1136  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
1137    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
1138
1139  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
1140    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
1141
1142* Add man page for dump3d.
1143
[d0418ac]1144Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
1145
1146* aven:
1147
1148  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
1149    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
1150
1151  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
[53c1e5d]1152    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
[d0418ac]1153
1154* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
1155  Lynch and "detrito".
1156
1157* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
1158  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
1159
[6897356]1160Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
[0d8f67a]1161
1162* cavern:
1163
1164  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
1165    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
1166    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
1167    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
1168    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
1169
1170  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
1171
1172  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
1173
1174  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
1175    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
1176    degrees).
[99b3298]1177
1178* aven:
1179
1180  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
1181    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
1182    Day.
1183
1184  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
1185    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1186
1187  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
1188    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
1189
[0d8f67a]1190  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
1191    of the line in cavern log window.
1192
[99b3298]1193  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1194
1195  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1196
[6897356]1197  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
1198    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
1199    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
1200    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
1201    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
1202
[0d8f67a]1203  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
1204    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
1205    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
1206
[99b3298]1207  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
1208
1209  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
1210
1211  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
1212    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
1213    Atkinson and myself.
1214
1215  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
1216
1217  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
1218    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
1219    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
1220    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
1221    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
1222    survey.
1223
1224  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
1225    lines on my netbook.
1226
1227  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
1228    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
1229    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
1230
[6897356]1231  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
1232    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
1233    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
1234    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
1235    glitches.
1236
1237  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
1238    we currently list, though slower to write.
1239
1240  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
1241    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
1242
1243  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
1244    warnings when building against a recent version.
1245
[99b3298]1246  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
1247    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
1248    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
1249    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
1250
[f55cbeb]1251  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
1252    movie export.
1253
1254  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
1255    export.
1256
[99b3298]1257* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1258  James Begley.
1259
[0d8f67a]1260* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
1261  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
1262
[99b3298]1263* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
1264
[7333c2c]1265* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
1266  messages get used automatically.
1267
1268* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
1269  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
1270
[0d8f67a]1271* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
1272
1273* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
1274
1275* Use https for more URLs which support it.
1276
[690fdab]1277Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
[dfe8d05]1278
1279* aven:
1280
1281  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
1282    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
1283    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
1284    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
1285    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
1286    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
1287    probably change in the future).
1288
[690fdab]1289  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
1290    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
1291    the survey tree root.
[dfe8d05]1292
[690fdab]1293  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
1294    the view was recentred).
[dfe8d05]1295
1296  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
1297    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
1298    wrong direction).
1299
1300  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
1301    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
1302    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
1303
[690fdab]1304  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
1305    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
1306    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
1307    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
[dfe8d05]1308
1309  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
1310    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
1311
[690fdab]1312  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
1313    addresses #60.
1314
1315  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
1316
1317  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
1318    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
1319    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
1320
1321  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
1322
1323  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
1324    360 or down past 0.
1325
1326  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
1327    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
1328    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
1329    real-valued ones.
[dfe8d05]1330
1331  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
1332    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
1333
[690fdab]1334  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
1335    Lynch.
[dfe8d05]1336
[690fdab]1337  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
1338
1339  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
1340    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
1341
1342  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
1343    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
1344    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
1345
1346  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
1347    should now work.
[dfe8d05]1348
1349* cavern:
1350
1351  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
1352
1353  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
1354    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
1355    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
1356
1357  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
1358    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
1359    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
1360
[3ca8ad2]1361  + Fix check for end of version number array in *require.  We would check up
[dfe8d05]1362    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
1363    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
1364    issue.
1365
1366  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
1367    by patch from Colin Watson.
1368
[690fdab]1369  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
1370
[dfe8d05]1371* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1372
1373* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
1374  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
1375
[690fdab]1376* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
1377  used in the same dataset.
1378
[dfe8d05]1379* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
1380  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
1381
1382* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
1383  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
1384  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
1385
1386* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
1387
[cd746b9]1388Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
1389
1390* aven:
1391
1392  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
1393    cavern again.
1394
[8ee50db]1395* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
1396  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
1397  location and use the same start menu folder.
1398
1399* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
1400  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
1401
1402* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
1403  by James Begley.
1404
[cd5cd8f]1405Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
[4e92bec]1406
[cd5cd8f]1407* aven:
[4e92bec]1408
[cd5cd8f]1409  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
1410    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
1411    to address.
[4e92bec]1412
[cd5cd8f]1413  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
1414    over the survey tree.
[4e92bec]1415
[cd5cd8f]1416  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
[4e92bec]1417
[cd5cd8f]1418  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
1419    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]1420
[cd5cd8f]1421  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
1422    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
1423    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
1424    encoded.
[4e92bec]1425
[cd5cd8f]1426  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
1427    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
1428    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
1429    terminals which do still support this.
[4e92bec]1430
[cd5cd8f]1431  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
1432    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
[4e92bec]1433
[cd5cd8f]1434* cavern:
[4e92bec]1435
[cd5cd8f]1436  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
1437    Edwards (see #78).
[4e92bec]1438
[cd5cd8f]1439  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
1440    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
1441    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
1442    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
[4e92bec]1443
[cd5cd8f]1444  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
1445    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
1446    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
[4e92bec]1447
[cd5cd8f]1448  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
1449    from Pete Smart (see #69).
[4e92bec]1450
[cd5cd8f]1451* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
1452  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
1453  Black.
[4e92bec]1454
[cd5cd8f]1455* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
[4e92bec]1456
[cd5cd8f]1457* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
1458  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
1459  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
1460  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
1461  Black.
[4e92bec]1462
[cd5cd8f]1463* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
1464  Black.
[4e92bec]1465
[cd5cd8f]1466* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
[4e92bec]1467
[cd5cd8f]1468* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
[4e92bec]1469
[cd5cd8f]1470* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]1471
[cd5cd8f]1472* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
[4e92bec]1473
[cd5cd8f]1474* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
[4e92bec]1475
[cd5cd8f]1476* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
1477  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
[4e92bec]1478
[cd5cd8f]1479* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
1480  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
1481  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
[4e92bec]1482
[cd5cd8f]1483* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
1484  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
1485  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
1486  privileges or not.
[4e92bec]1487
[52dad0e]1488Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
1489
1490* aven:
1491
1492  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
1493    Clipstone.
1494
1495  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
1496    Reported by Jenny Black.
1497
1498  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
1499    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
1500    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
1501
1502  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
1503    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
1504    messages.
1505
1506  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
1507    the terminal in 1.2.23.
1508
1509* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
1510  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
1511
1512* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
1513
1514* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
1515  by Wookey.
1516
[1ff33eb]1517Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
[1ed104f]1518
1519* aven:
1520
1521  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
1522    machines.
1523
1524  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
1525
1526  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
1527    already being processed.
1528
1529  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
1530    Reported by Martin Green.
1531
[d56a2d4]1532  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
1533
1534* cavern:
1535
1536  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
1537    find the original survey notes).
1538
1539  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
1540    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
1541    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
1542    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
1543    progress display to be useful.
[1ed104f]1544
1545* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
1546
[d56a2d4]1547* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
1548  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
1549
[1ed104f]1550* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
1551  running cavern.
1552
[53b6a5a]1553* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
1554  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
1555  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
1556
[7f7dbd5]1557Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
[d225571]1558
1559* aven:
1560
1561  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
1562    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
1563    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
1564    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
1565    finding this fix.
1566
1567* cavern:
1568
1569  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
1570
1571  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
1572    station.
1573
[7f7dbd5]1574  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
1575    *export.
1576
[2d865b7]1577Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
[31e9b72]1578
[03c259e]1579* aven:
1580
[2d865b7]1581  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
1582    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
1583    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
1584
[22f17f1]1585  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
1586
[03c259e]1587  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
1588    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
1589    does.
1590
[2d865b7]1591  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
1592    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
1593
1594  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
1595    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
1596
1597  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
1598    as appropriate.
1599
[03c259e]1600  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
1601    values on Windows.
1602
1603* cavern:
1604
[22f17f1]1605  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
1606    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
1607    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
1608
[2d865b7]1609  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
1610    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
1611
1612  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
1613    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
1614    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
[1687a13]1615    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
1616
1617  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
1618    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
1619    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
1620    Atkinson.
[2d865b7]1621
1622  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
1623    actual error rather than on a separate line.
[22f17f1]1624
[03c259e]1625  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
1626    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
1627    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
1628    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
1629
1630  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
1631    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
1632    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
1633
1634* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
1635  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
1636  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
1637  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
1638
1639* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
1640
[2d865b7]1641* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
1642  "*DECLINATION" command.
1643
[ab3b4a9]1644* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
1645  Reported by Jenny Black.
1646
1647* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
1648  documentation.
1649
[22f17f1]1650* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
1651  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
1652
1653* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
1654
[2d865b7]1655* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
1656
[7027ea1]1657Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
[0eaf4b1]1658
1659* aven:
1660
[6de8e942]1661  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
[31e9b72]1662    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
1663    the same or very similar by default.
[0eaf4b1]1664
1665  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
1666    Maynard.
1667
1668  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
1669
[7027ea1]1670  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
1671
1672  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
1673    away.
1674
1675  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
[6de8e942]1676
1677  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
1678    display it.
1679
1680* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
1681  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
1682  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
1683  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
1684
[0eaf4b1]1685* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
1686
1687* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
1688  before 1.2.19.
1689
1690* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
1691  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
1692
1693* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
1694
1695* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
1696  disk image.
1697
[6de8e942]1698* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
1699
[0eaf4b1]1700* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
1701  libav features we don't use.
1702
1703* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
1704  a load of libav features we don't use.
1705
1706* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
1707  message in the installer.
1708
[1dc99d1]1709Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
[f96ac93]1710
1711* aven:
1712
1713  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
1714    the exported file in 1.2.18.
1715
[2dac61e1]1716  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
1717
[4b67f71]1718  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
1719    exit full screen mode.
1720
1721  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
1722    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
1723    using since 1.2.7).
[2dac61e1]1724
[f96ac93]1725  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
1726    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
1727    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
1728    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
[2dac61e1]1729    St. Lawrence.
[f96ac93]1730
1731  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
1732    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
1733
1734  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
1735    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
1736    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
1737
1738  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
1739    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
1740    case like we do on other platforms.
1741
[739440f]1742  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
1743
[2dac61e1]1744  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
1745    support multi-monitor setups.
1746
[f96ac93]1747  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
1748    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
1749
[4b67f71]1750  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
1751    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
1752
[f96ac93]1753  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
1754    cases.
1755
[2dac61e1]1756  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
1757    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
1758    Erin Lynch)
1759
1760  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
1761    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
1762    items in in so it uses the full width.
[f96ac93]1763
1764  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
1765    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
1766    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
1767    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
1768    window.
1769
[2dac61e1]1770  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
1771    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
1772    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
1773    only relevant on the first ever run.
[f96ac93]1774
1775* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
1776
1777* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
1778  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
1779  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
1780  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
1781  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
1782  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
1783
[4b67f71]1784* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
1785  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
1786
[3f02aa4]1787Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
[2595419]1788
[4a8031f]1789* aven:
[a5670c7]1790
[4a8031f]1791  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
1792    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
1793    rendering it as a transparent surface.
[a5670c7]1794
[4a8031f]1795  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
1796    sanely want to perform from the menu.
[a5670c7]1797
[4a8031f]1798  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
1799    colouring options.
[a5670c7]1800
[4a8031f]1801  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
[a5670c7]1802
[4a8031f]1803  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
1804    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
1805    pressing "Escape".
[a5670c7]1806
[38e5701]1807  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
1808    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
1809
[4a8031f]1810  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
1811    exporting.
[a5670c7]1812
[38e5701]1813  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
1814
1815  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
1816    is quite likely to change.
1817
[4a8031f]1818  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
1819    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
[a5670c7]1820
[4a8031f]1821  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
1822    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
1823    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
1824
1825  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
1826
1827  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
1828    markers in orange.
1829
1830  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
1831    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
1832
1833  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
1834    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
1835    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
1836    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
1837    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
1838    them would be better.
1839
1840  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
1841    Gee.
1842
1843  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
1844    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
1845    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
1846
1847  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
1848
1849* cavern:
[0476b10]1850
[38e5701]1851  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
1852    susscorfa).
1853
[4a8031f]1854  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
[38e5701]1855    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
[4a8031f]1856
1857  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
1858
1859  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
1860    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
1861
1862  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
1863    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
1864
1865* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
1866
1867* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
1868  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
1869  in a modern desktop.
[a5670c7]1870
[dd65182]1871* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
1872  the filename in the error message.
1873
[4a8031f]1874* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
1875  most complete translations.
[dd65182]1876
[4a8031f]1877* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
[dd65182]1878
[4a8031f]1879* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
1880  lacks them.
[dd65182]1881
[4a8031f]1882* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
1883
1884* Manual:
1885
1886  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
1887    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
1888
1889  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
[dd65182]1890
[4a8031f]1891  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
[dd65182]1892
[4a8031f]1893  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
1894    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
1895    available for download.
1896
1897* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
1898  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
1899  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
[2595419]1900
[4a8031f]1901* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
[dd65182]1902
[3f02aa4]1903* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
1904
[1646310]1905Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
[a6064e2]1906
1907* MacOS X version:
1908
1909  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
1910
[e067870]1911  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
[9e053fc]1912
[e067870]1913  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
1914
1915  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
[9e053fc]1916
1917  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
1918    currently do this for us.
1919
[a6064e2]1920  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
1921
1922  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
1923
[9e053fc]1924  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
1925
1926  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
1927    OS X cursor.
1928
[e067870]1929  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
1930    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
1931    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
1932    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
1933    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
1934    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
1935    with TextEdit.app for example).
1936
1937  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
1938    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
1939
[a6064e2]1940  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
1941
[9e053fc]1942  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
1943    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
1944
1945  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
1946    Riggs.
1947
1948  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
1949    space.
1950
[4baea3a]1951  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
[9e053fc]1952
1953  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
1954    10.10.1.
1955
1956  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
1957    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
1958    errors.
1959
[4baea3a]1960  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
1961    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
1962    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
1963    wxWidgets build supports by default.
1964
[e067870]1965  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
1966
[a6064e2]1967* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
1968  treat as a single leg.
1969
[9e053fc]1970* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
1971
1972* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
1973
1974* aven:
1975
1976  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
1977    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
1978
1979  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
1980    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
1981    1:500).
1982
1983  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
1984    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
1985    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
1986    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
1987
1988  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
1989    there rather than the two animations fighting.
1990
1991  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
1992    fast.
1993
1994  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
1995    when rotating).
1996
[1646310]1997  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
1998    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
1999
2000* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
2001  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
2002
2003* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
2004
2005* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
2006
2007* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
2008
2009* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
[e067870]2010
[a6064e2]2011* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
2012  we're using git.
2013
[1646310]2014* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
2015
2016  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
2017    compass.
2018
2019  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
2020
2021  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
[a6064e2]2022
[03d0e8b]2023Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
[9aa10ad]2024
2025* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
2026
[f480117d]2027* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
2028
[9aa10ad]2029* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
2030
2031* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
2032  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
2033
2034* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
2035
2036* tests/: Improve test coverage.
2037
[7bd113b]2038* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
2039  Greek and Polish.
[9aa10ad]2040
2041* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
2042  by Martin Sluka.
2043
2044* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
2045  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
2046
[44f51ca]2047Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
2048
2049* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
2050  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
2051  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
2052  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
2053  for *cs has also been improved.
2054
2055* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
2056  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
2057  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
2058  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
2059
2060* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
2061  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
2062  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
2063  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
2064  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
2065
2066* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
2067  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
2068  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
2069
2070* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
2071
2072* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
2073
2074* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
2075  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
2076  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
2077
2078* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
2079  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
2080
[6a87cce]2081Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
[5c676e2]2082
[1efeb6d]2083* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
2084  system in use in 3d v8 files.
2085
2086* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
2087  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
[6a87cce]2088  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
2089  export dialog.
[1efeb6d]2090
[ea59b58]2091* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
2092  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
2093  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
2094  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
2095  rather than having one corner there.
2096
[26e7fa4]2097* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
2098  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
2099
[5c676e2]2100* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
2101  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
2102
[515b83e]2103* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
2104  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
2105  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
2106
[5c676e2]2107* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
2108  such as 64-bit Linux.
2109
[2c5ec88]2110* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
2111  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
2112
[5c676e2]2113* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
2114  64-bit platforms.
2115
[ea59b58]2116* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
2117  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
2118  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
2119
[2c5ec88]2120* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
2121  the space available in the aven UI.
2122
[1efeb6d]2123* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
2124  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
2125  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
[ea59b58]2126
[515b83e]2127* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
2128  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
2129
[6a87cce]2130* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
2131  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
2132  about unconnected surveys.
2133
2134* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
2135  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
2136
[67a0fc6]2137* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
2138  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
2139  freed memory.
2140
[1efeb6d]2141* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
2142
2143* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
2144
[2c5ec88]2145* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
2146
[5c676e2]2147* Fix a compiler warning.
2148
2149* Improve test coverage.
2150
[0d365be]2151Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
[acbb5b1]2152
[8ccd1d8]2153* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
2154  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
2155  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
2156
[acbb5b1]2157* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
2158  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
2159  Hugh St Lawrence.
2160
[0d365be]2161* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
[8ccd1d8]2162  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
2163  with using aven on a touch screen device.
2164
[acbb5b1]2165* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
2166  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
2167
2168* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
2169  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
2170
2171* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
2172  off and back on.
2173
2174* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
2175  up time a little.
2176
2177* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
2178  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
2179
2180* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
2181  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
2182  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
2183  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
2184  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
2185  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
2186  situation too.
2187
2188* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
2189  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
2190  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
2191
2192* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
2193
2194* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
2195
2196* Minor translation updates to French.
2197
2198* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
2199
2200* Testsuite improvements:
2201
2202  + Test that "..." anon station works.
2203
2204  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
2205    fail and give an error count.
2206
2207  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
2208
[ad727d8]2209Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
[46d12e9]2210
[63e8642]2211* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
2212  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
2213  Clipstone.
[46d12e9]2214
[ad727d8]2215* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
2216
2217* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
2218
2219  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
2220    overlap the scale bar ticks.
2221
2222  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
2223    clipping the border in print preview.
2224
2225  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
2226
[63e8642]2227* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
2228  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
[46d12e9]2229
[63e8642]2230* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
2231  available.
[46d12e9]2232
[ad727d8]2233* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
2234
2235* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
2236
2237* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
2238  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
2239
[63e8642]2240* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
2241  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
[46d12e9]2242
[63e8642]2243* Various translation updates.
[46d12e9]2244
[aac3336]2245Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
[fb941bfd]2246
2247* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
2248  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
2249
[aac3336]2250* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
2251  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
2252  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
2253  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
2254
[ad3017d]2255* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
2256  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
2257
[77bdacf]2258* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
2259  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
[ad3017d]2260
2261* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
2262  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
2263
2264* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
2265  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2266
2267* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
2268  box".
2269
2270* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
2271
2272* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
2273  indicators.
2274
2275* aven: All length units are now translatable.
2276
[fb941bfd]2277* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
2278  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
2279  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
2280
[ad3017d]2281* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
2282  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
2283  measurably slower.
2284
2285* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
2286  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
2287
[77bdacf]2288* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
2289  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
2290
[ad3017d]2291* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
2292  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
2293  from Therion and elsewhere.
2294
2295* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
2296  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
2297  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
[fb941bfd]2298
2299* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
2300  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
2301
2302* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
2303  A. Riggs for his work on this.
2304
2305* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
2306  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
2307
2308* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
2309
[ad3017d]2310* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
2311  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
2312  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
2313  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
2314  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
2315  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2316
2317* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
2318
[0ecf3b1]2319Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
2320
2321* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
2322  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
2323  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
2324  Clipstone.
2325
[53966d3]2326* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
2327  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
2328
[6f0d0d8]2329* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
2330  exported SVG files.
2331
2332* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
2333
2334* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
2335  file.
2336
2337* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
2338  GPX files.
2339
2340* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
2341
[0ecf3b1]2342* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
2343  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
2344
2345* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
2346  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
2347  on startup.
2348
2349* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
2350
2351* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
2352  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
2353  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
2354  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
2355  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
2356  other extensions.
2357
2358* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
2359  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
2360  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
2361  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
2362  timezone wrong.
2363
2364* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
2365
[6f0d0d8]2366* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
2367  'SURVEY DATE:'.
[0ecf3b1]2368
[6f0d0d8]2369* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
[0ecf3b1]2370
[6f0d0d8]2371* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
[0ecf3b1]2372
[53966d3]2373* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
2374  enabled.
2375
[6b6fb4d]2376Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
2377
2378* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
2379
2380* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
2381
2382* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
2383
2384* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
2385  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
2386  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
2387
2388* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
2389  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
2390  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
2391
2392* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
2393  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
2394
2395* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
2396
2397* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
2398
2399* Fix some compiler warnings.
2400
[e1f27c4]2401Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
[da65891]2402
2403* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
2404  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
2405  Holder.
2406
[e1f27c4]2407* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
[034141d]2408  statistics when the value gets large.
2409
[a4adf09]2410* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
2411  equations.
2412
[e1f27c4]2413* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
2414  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
2415  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
2416  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
2417  better when the "View" box is hidden.
2418
[0056ee1]2419* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
2420  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
2421
[e1f27c4]2422* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
2423  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
2424  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
2425  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
2426  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
2427  way is coming soon.
2428
2429* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
2430  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
2431
2432* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
2433  time ago, so update references.
2434
2435* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
2436  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2437
2438* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
2439  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
2440
2441* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
2442  Sebastian Ramacher.
2443
2444* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
2445
2446* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
2447
2448* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
2449
2450* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
2451
2452* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
2453
2454* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
2455  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
2456  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
2457
2458* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
2459
2460* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
[9fc1cac]2461
[88b54df6]2462* img library:
2463
[e1f27c4]2464  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
2465    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
2466    reading).
2467
2468  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
2469    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
2470
2471  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
2472    support these as an extension.
[88b54df6]2473
[f807d8bf]2474  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
2475
[e1f27c4]2476* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
2477  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
2478  itself has any translations for.
2479
2480* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
2481
2482* Minor translation updates.
2483
2484* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
2485
[e34bebc]2486Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
[65d9b6b]2487
[e34bebc]2488* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
2489  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
2490  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
2491  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
[a5c74f2]2492  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
2493  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
[e34bebc]2494  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
2495  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]2496
[e34bebc]2497* New version 8 of the 3d format:
[07beaa4]2498
[e34bebc]2499  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[07beaa4]2500
[e34bebc]2501  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
2502    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
[da9d788]2503
[e34bebc]2504  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
2505    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
[da9d788]2506
[e34bebc]2507  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
[da9d788]2508
[e34bebc]2509  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
2510    human-readable string.
[da9d788]2511
[e34bebc]2512  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
2513    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
[da9d788]2514
[e34bebc]2515* img library:
[da9d788]2516
[e34bebc]2517  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[da9d788]2518
[e34bebc]2519  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
2520    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
[da9d788]2521
[e34bebc]2522  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
2523    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
2524    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
2525    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
2526    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
2527    explicitly in the file.
[da9d788]2528
[e34bebc]2529  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
[da9d788]2530
[e34bebc]2531* aven:
[da9d788]2532
[e34bebc]2533  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
2534    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
2535    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
2536    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
2537    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
2538    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
[da9d788]2539
[e34bebc]2540  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
2541    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
2542    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
2543    queued up.
[da9d788]2544
[e34bebc]2545  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
2546    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
2547
2548  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
2549    them like other legs.
2550
2551  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
2552    station names to positions.
2553
2554  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
2555    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
2556    wrongly.
2557
2558  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
2559
2560  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
2561    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
2562    that's used by the desktop).
2563
2564  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
[07beaa4]2565
[e34bebc]2566  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
2567    error from cavern.
[07beaa4]2568
[e34bebc]2569  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
[da9d788]2570
[e34bebc]2571  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
2572    in the dialog in sync.
[da9d788]2573
[e34bebc]2574* cavern:
[3dfffa2]2575
[e34bebc]2576  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
2577    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
2578    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
[3dfffa2]2579
[e34bebc]2580  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
2581    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]2582
[e34bebc]2583  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
2584    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
2585    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
2586    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
2587    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
2588    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
2589    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
2590    degrees.
[da9d788]2591
[e34bebc]2592  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
2593    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
2594    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
[da9d788]2595
[e34bebc]2596  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
[da9d788]2597
[e34bebc]2598  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
2599    warnings.
[07beaa4]2600
[e34bebc]2601  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
2602    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
[07beaa4]2603
[e34bebc]2604  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
2605    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
[da9d788]2606
[e34bebc]2607  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
2608    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
2609    relevant.
[da9d788]2610
[e34bebc]2611  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
2612    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
2613    the same line.
[da9d788]2614
[e34bebc]2615  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
2616    "End of line not blank" error.
[7f6250a]2617
[e34bebc]2618  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
2619    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
[3dfffa2]2620
[e34bebc]2621  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
2622    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
[07beaa4]2623
[e34bebc]2624  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
2625    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
2626    include that character in the token reported.
[3dfffa2]2627
[e34bebc]2628  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
2629    first item.
[07beaa4]2630
[e34bebc]2631* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
[07beaa4]2632
[e34bebc]2633* dump3d:
[07beaa4]2634
[e34bebc]2635  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
2636    info from 3d files in scripts.
[07beaa4]2637
[e34bebc]2638  + Add --show-dates option.
[07beaa4]2639
[e34bebc]2640  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
[07beaa4]2641
[e34bebc]2642  + Report the data style of legs.
[da9d788]2643
[e34bebc]2644  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
2645
2646  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
[3dfffa2]2647
2648* Test suite:
2649
2650  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
2651    expected output so it passes reliably.
2652
[e34bebc]2653  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
2654    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
2655
[07beaa4]2656  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
2657    for more.
2658
[e34bebc]2659* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
2660  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
2661  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
[3dfffa2]2662
2663* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
2664  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
2665
2666* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
2667  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
2668
[e34bebc]2669* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
[665183c]2670  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
[e34bebc]2671  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
2672  settings.
2673
2674* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
2675  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
2676  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
2677  set correctly.
2678
2679* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
2680  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
2681  them to translate.
2682
[07beaa4]2683* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
2684  close to complete.
[3dfffa2]2685
2686* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
2687
[07beaa4]2688* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
2689
[e34bebc]2690* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
2691
[c575465]2692Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
[b081031]2693
2694* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
2695
2696* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
2697  package (ticket#35).
2698
2699* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
2700  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
2701  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
2702
2703* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
2704  Kahler.
2705
2706* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
[c575465]2707  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
2708  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
2709  libproj and build survex with:
2710
2711      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
2712      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
[b081031]2713
2714* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
2715
2716* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
2717
2718* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
2719  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
2720  file".
2721
[685116f]2722Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
2723
2724* aven:
2725
2726  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
2727
2728  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
2729    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
2730
2731  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
2732
2733  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
2734
2735  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
2736    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
2737
2738* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
2739  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
2740  error early on).
2741
2742* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
2743  the man page source as well as in the filename.
2744
[f15ca67f]2745Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
2746
2747* aven:
2748
2749  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
2750    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
2751    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
2752    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
2753
2754  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
2755    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
2756
2757  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
2758
2759  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
2760
2761  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
2762
2763* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
2764
[5b9942e]2765Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
2766
2767* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
2768
2769* (Mac OS X version):
2770
2771  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
2772
2773  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
2774
2775  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
2776    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
2777
2778  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
2779
2780* aven:
2781
2782  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
2783
2784  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
2785
2786    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
2787      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
2788      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
2789      character.
2790
2791    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
2792      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
2793      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
2794      and two in a few cases.
2795
2796    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
2797      8 pixels.
2798
2799  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
2800    draw crosses.
2801
[3ea0178]2802  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
2803    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
2804    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
2805    is the start or end of a tube.
2806
[5b9942e]2807  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
2808    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
2809
2810  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
2811    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
2812    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
2813
[3ea0178]2814* extend:
2815
2816  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
[5b9942e]2817
[3ea0178]2818  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
2819    which means "no info").
2820
2821* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
2822  was no longer used - it certainly is!
2823
2824* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
2825  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
2826  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
2827  current character set.
[5b9942e]2828
[3ea0178]2829* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
[5b9942e]2830
2831* Test suite:
2832
2833  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
2834
2835  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
2836
[94960ad]2837Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
2838
2839* aven:
2840
2841  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
2842    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
2843    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
2844    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
2845    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
2846    usable format.
2847
2848  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
2849    files.  (ticket#26)
2850
2851  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
2852    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
2853
[53f8a93]2854  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
2855    using lines.
2856
[94960ad]2857  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
2858    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
2859
2860  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
2861    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
2862    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
2863    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
2864
2865  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
2866    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
2867    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
2868
2869  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
2870    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
2871    in 1.2.1.
2872
[9704252]2873Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
[e3c58c3]2874
2875* Translation updates for US English.
2876
2877* aven:
2878
2879  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
2880    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
2881
2882  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
2883
2884  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
2885    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
2886    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
2887    visually similar to the survey legs.
2888
2889  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
2890    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
2891
[9704252]2892  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
2893    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
2894    does still provide some useful information).
2895
2896  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
2897    a depth band boundary.
[e3c58c3]2898
2899  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
[9704252]2900    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
2901    full-screen mode).
[e3c58c3]2902
2903  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
2904    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
2905    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
2906    are a little better, though still not perfect.
2907
2908  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
2909    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
2910
2911  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
2912    that station.
2913
2914  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
2915    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
2916
2917  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
2918    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
2919    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
[9704252]2920    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
2921    a case as it is a bug).
[e3c58c3]2922
[9704252]2923  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
2924    invalidated on window width or height changes.
[e3c58c3]2925
2926  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
2927    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
2928    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
2929    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
2930
[9704252]2931  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
2932    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
2933    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
2934    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
2935    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
2936    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
2937    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
[e3c58c3]2938
2939  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
2940    similarly for other compass points.
2941
2942  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
2943    info in the "About" dialog.
2944
2945  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
2946    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
2947
2948  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
2949    as well as still working with older versions.
2950
2951  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
2952    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
2953
2954  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
2955    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
2956    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
2957    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
2958    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
2959
2960  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
2961    nicer and make better use of the available space.
2962
2963  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
2964    dialog.
2965
2966  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
2967    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
2968
2969  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
2970    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
2971
[9704252]2972  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
2973
[e3c58c3]2974  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
2975
2976  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
2977    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
2978    being pressed and toggle full screen.
2979
2980* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
2981  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
2982
2983* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
2984
2985* More messages are now available to be translated.
2986
2987* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
2988  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
2989
2990* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
2991
2992* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
2993  sudo for installing on Unix.
2994
2995* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
2996  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
2997
2998* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
2999  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
3000
3001* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
3002
[120c1c6]3003Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
[b4ac7007]3004
3005* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
3006  English.
3007
[9cfcb3f]3008* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
3009  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
3010  case.
3011
3012* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
3013  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
3014  these into Survex's .msg format.
3015
[b4ac7007]3016* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
3017  an actual command).
3018
[9cfcb3f]3019* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
3020  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
3021  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
3022  recurrence of that).
3023
[b4ac7007]3024* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
3025  than /usr/doc/survex.
3026
3027* aven:
3028
[120c1c6]3029  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
3030
[9cfcb3f]3031  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
3032    nicer at larger sizes.
3033
[b4ac7007]3034  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
3035    with GLX >= 1.3.
3036
3037  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
3038
3039  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
[4095cc0]3040    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
3041    required libraries set up for building releases.
[b4ac7007]3042
3043  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
3044
3045  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
3046
3047  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
3048    rendered with icons on some platforms.
3049
[9cfcb3f]3050  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
3051    ISO8859-1).
3052
3053  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
3054    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
3055
3056  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
3057    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
3058
[b4ac7007]3059* cavern:
3060
3061  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
3062    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
3063    fatal error!
3064
[9cfcb3f]3065  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
3066    format to output.  (ticket#21)
3067
3068* img library:
3069
3070  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
3071    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
3072
[b4ac7007]3073* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
[120c1c6]3074  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
[b4ac7007]3075
[8f9b0b6d]3076Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]3077
3078* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
3079  Portuguese, and US English.
3080
3081* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]3082  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]3083
3084* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
3085  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
3086
3087* img.c:
3088
3089  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
3090
3091  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
3092
3093* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
3094
[8f9b0b6d]3095* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
3096  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
3097  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
3098  translated.
3099
[f5e3521]3100Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]3101
3102* aven:
3103
3104  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
3105    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
3106
3107  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
3108    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
3109    addresses ticket#12.
3110
3111  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
3112    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
3113    consistent shape.
3114
3115  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
3116    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
3117    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
3118    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
3119
3120  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
3121    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
3122
3123  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
3124
3125  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
3126    more places.
3127
3128  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]3129    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
3130
3131* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
3132
3133* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
3134  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
3135
3136* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]3137
3138* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
3139  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
3140  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
3141  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
3142  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
3143  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
3144
3145* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
3146  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
3147  redirecting to it.
3148
3149* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
3150  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
3151  I/O).
3152
3153* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
3154  headers.
3155
3156* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
3157
3158* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
3159  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
3160
3161* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
3162
[f9473ab]3163Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
3164
3165* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
3166
3167* aven:
3168
3169  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
3170    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
3171    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
3172    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
3173
3174  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
3175
3176  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
3177    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
3178    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
3179    a number.
3180
3181  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
3182    log window.
3183
3184  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
3185    various cases.
3186
3187  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
3188    (ticket#9)
3189
3190  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
3191    namespace with its own "Point" class.
3192
3193  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
3194    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
3195
3196  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
3197
3198  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
3199    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
3200
3201* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
3202  give them before.
3203
3204* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
3205  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
3206  point looking for them now.
3207
3208* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
3209  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
3210  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
3211  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
3212
3213* manual:
3214
3215  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
3216
3217  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
3218    (change taken from 1.0).
3219
3220* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
3221
[0bd49eb]3222Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]3223
3224* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
3225
[739b92c]3226* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]3227
3228* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]3229
3230* aven:
3231
[90d0d71]3232  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
3233
3234  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
3235    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
3236    seem to be Unicode now).
3237
3238  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
3239    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
3240
[e4bfd2f]3241  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
3242    text on the survey pane:
3243
3244    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
3245
3246    - Character spacing is improved.
3247
3248    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]3249
3250  + "About" dialog:
3251
3252    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
3253      bug reporting.
3254
3255    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
3256      modern gfx card.
3257
3258    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
3259
3260  + Processing .svx files:
3261
3262    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]3263
[739b92c]3264    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
3265      than opening a separate frame for it.
3266
[90d0d71]3267    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
3268
3269    - Fix small memory leak.
3270
3271  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
3272    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
3273    such a name.
3274
3275  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
3276
[e4bfd2f]3277  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
3278    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
3279    invocations.
3280
[90d0d71]3281  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
3282
3283  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
3284
[739b92c]3285  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
3286
[90d0d71]3287* Documentation:
3288
[e4bfd2f]3289  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
3290
3291  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
3292    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
3293    together isn't very useful.
3294
[90d0d71]3295  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
3296
3297  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
3298    the FSF website.
3299
3300  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
3301    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
3302    the source code.
3303
3304* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
3305  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]3306
[e4bfd2f]3307* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
3308  package from the source tarball.
3309
[739b92c]3310* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
3311  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
3312
[2e12f8c]3313Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]3314
3315* aven:
3316
[3db0798]3317  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
3318
[5940815]3319  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
3320
[6b2113d]3321  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
3322    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
3323    names/crosses).
3324
[920b066]3325Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
3326
3327* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
3328
[99d8798]3329* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
3330
[920b066]3331* aven:
[78c67a6]3332
[920b066]3333  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]3334
[920b066]3335  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]3336
[920b066]3337  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
3338    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]3339
[920b066]3340  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
3341    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]3342
[920b066]3343  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]3344
[920b066]3345  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
3346    depth colouring.
[99d8798]3347
[920b066]3348  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]3349
[920b066]3350  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]3351
[920b066]3352  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]3353
[920b066]3354  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]3355
[920b066]3356  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]3357
[920b066]3358  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]3359
[920b066]3360  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]3361
[920b066]3362  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]3363
[920b066]3364  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
3365    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]3366
[920b066]3367  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]3368
[920b066]3369  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
3370    default.
[99d8798]3371
[920b066]3372* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
3373  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]3374
[920b066]3375* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
3376  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]3377
[920b066]3378* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]3379
[920b066]3380* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]3381
[920b066]3382Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]3383
3384* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
3385  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
3386  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
3387  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
3388  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
3389
3390* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
3391  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
3392  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]3393
[ac3f376]3394* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
3395  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
3396  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
3397
3398* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
3399  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
3400  allowed).
3401
3402* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
3403
3404* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3405
3406* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3407
[920b066]3408Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]3409
3410* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
3411  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
3412
3413* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
3414  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
3415  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
3416
3417* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
3418  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
3419  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
3420  the new "*data passage" style.
3421
3422* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
3423  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
3424
3425* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
3426  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
3427  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
3428  some cases.
3429
3430* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
3431  with no survey loaded.
3432
3433* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
3434
3435* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
3436  loaded a survey.
3437
3438* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
3439
3440* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
3441
3442* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
3443  doesn't exist.
3444
3445* Updated French and Italian translations.
3446
3447* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]3448  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
3449
[6a2594be]3450* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
3451  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
3452  update their copy).
3453
3454* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
3455  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
3456  trying to compile).
3457
[920b066]3458Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]3459
[c988ae4]3460* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
3461  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
3462
[9577fcc]3463* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
3464  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
3465  has been disabled.
3466
[ecf2d23]3467* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
3468  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
3469  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
3470  time.
3471
[d1628e8e]3472* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
3473  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
3474  highlighted stations.
3475
[e67ed1b]3476* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
3477
[3ddd351]3478* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
3479  the tilt from plan to elevation.
3480
[c988ae4]3481* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
3482  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
3483
3484* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
3485  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
3486  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
3487
3488* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
3489  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
3490
3491* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
3492
[84f1ed1]3493* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
3494
[a884696]3495* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
3496
[9fe7af4f]3497* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
3498  run by an unprivileged user.
3499
3500* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
3501  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
3502  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
3503
3504* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
3505  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
3506
[cd39f67]3507* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
3508
[afffec4]3509* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]3510  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]3511
[38a192d]3512* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
3513  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
3514
[5892e08]3515* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
3516  if it isn't.
3517
[879e9c3]3518* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
3519  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
3520
[c8f929b]3521* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
3522  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
3523
3524* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
3525  reset to default view as well).
3526
3527* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
3528  empty.
3529
3530* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
3531  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
3532
[9ad92cc]3533* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]3534  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
3535  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]3536
3537* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
3538  and non-zero width lines.
3539
3540* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
3541  was turned on.
3542
3543* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
3544  not always being fully written.
3545
[920b066]3546Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]3547
3548* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
3549  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
3550  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
3551  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]3552
[8add4c9]3553* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
3554  with MS Windows).
3555
[9f524ee]3556* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
3557  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
3558  several surveys in the same directory).
3559
[185d793]3560* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]3561  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]3562
[3515947]3563* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
3564
[1235f9b]3565* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
3566  moved off a station.
3567
[4299674]3568* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]3569  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]3570
[60dbe70]3571* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
3572
[125c9ea]3573* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
3574  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
3575
[ec58e3d3]3576* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
3577  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
3578  dialogs.
3579
[8add4c9]3580* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
3581  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
3582
[6662d02]3583* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
3584  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]3585  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]3586
[b65c13f]3587* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
3588  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
3589  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
3590
[17cce5f]3591* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
3592  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
3593
[affaeee]3594* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
3595
[618b01f]3596* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
3597
[920b066]3598Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]3599
3600* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
3601  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
3602
[b88b171]3603* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
3604  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
3605  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
3606  3d file.
3607
[7e01c87]3608* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
3609
3610* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
3611
3612* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
3613  Instead turn off depth colouring.
3614
[8ea82aa]3615* aven: Export as HPGL added.
3616
[887c26e]3617* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
3618  Martin Green).
3619
[7c29c976]3620* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
3621  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
3622  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
3623
[7e01c87]3624* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]3625
[7e01c87]3626* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
3627  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
3628
3629* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
3630  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
3631  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
3632  of everything else.
3633
3634* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
3635  presentation icons.
3636
3637* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
3638  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]3639
[b46bf92]3640* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
3641
[796d7bf]3642* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
3643
[7e01c87]3644* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
3645
3646* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
3647
[b88b171]3648* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
3649  language to use for messages.
3650
[7c29c976]3651* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
3652  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
3653
[8ea82aa]3654* Removed old printer drivers.
3655
[7e01c87]3656* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
3657  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]3658
[920b066]3659Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]3660
3661* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
3662
[4ba80e0]3663* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
3664
3665* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
3666  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
3667
[95ce35f]3668* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
3669  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]3670
[95ce35f]3671* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
3672
[cd78148]3673* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
3674  underground legs is toggled.
3675
[f5627353]3676* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
3677  attached to the previous data.
3678
[dfe4a520]3679* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
3680  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
3681  them.
3682
[920b066]3683Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]3684
3685* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
3686
3687* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
3688  continental European countries).
3689
3690* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
3691  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
3692  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
3693
3694* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
3695
3696* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
3697  they're needed.
3698
3699* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
3700
3701* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
3702
3703* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
3704
3705* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
3706  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
3707  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
3708
3709* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
3710
[920b066]3711Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]3712
3713* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
3714
3715* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
3716
3717* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
3718
3719* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
3720
3721* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
3722
3723* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
3724
3725* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
3726  when there's a presentation loaded.
3727
3728* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
3729  in cave view.
3730
3731* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
3732
3733* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
3734  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
3735  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
3736
3737* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
3738  filename for file history and window title.
3739
3740* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
3741  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
3742  only needed with GTK1.2.
3743
3744* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
3745
3746* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
3747
3748* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
3749
3750* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
3751
3752Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]3753
3754* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
3755  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
3756  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
3757
3758* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
3759  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
3760
3761* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
3762  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
3763  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
3764  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]3765
[0e558e5]3766* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]3767
3768* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
3769  with --help and --version.
3770
3771* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
3772  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]3773  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]3774  Fixed all these problems.
3775
3776* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
3777  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
3778  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
3779
3780* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]3781  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
3782  sources.
[8faa5d8]3783
[0e558e5]3784* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]3785
3786* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
3787
3788* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
3789  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
3790
3791* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
3792  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
3793  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
3794  animating.
3795
3796* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
3797
3798* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
3799
3800* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
3801  to this branch.
3802
3803* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
3804
3805  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
3806
3807  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
3808
3809  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
3810
3811* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]3812
[8faa5d8]3813* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
3814  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
3815
3816* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
3817
3818* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]3819  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]3820
3821* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
3822
3823* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
3824  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
3825  for anyone building from CVS).
3826
3827* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
3828
[4855072]3829* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]3830
3831* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
3832
3833* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
3834
[0e558e5]3835* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
3836  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]3837  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
3838
3839* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
3840  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
3841
3842* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
3843
3844* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]3845  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
3846  loaded).
[8faa5d8]3847
3848* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
3849
[920b066]3850Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]3851
3852* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]3853  startup.
[a7aa27d9]3854
3855* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
3856  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
3857
[920b066]3858Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]3859
[91e416e]3860* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
3861  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
3862  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]3863
[91e416e]3864* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
3865  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
3866  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]3867
[91e416e]3868* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
3869  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
3870  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]3871
[91e416e]3872* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]3873
[0580c6a]3874* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
3875  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
3876
[4261983]3877* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
3878  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
3879
3880* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
3881  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]3882
[f80077a]3883* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]3884
[6abab84]3885* aven: Perspective view.
3886
[91e416e]3887* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]3888
[91e416e]3889* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
3890  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]3891
[1690fa9]3892* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
3893  and load/save/run them.
3894
[0580c6a]3895* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
3896
[045e2af]3897* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
3898
[c60062d]3899* aven: Depth fogging option.
3900
[0580c6a]3901* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
3902
3903* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
3904
[f433fda]3905* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
3906  showing the surface legs.
3907
[0580c6a]3908* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
