[0d8f67a]1Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-07):
2
3* cavern:
4
5  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
6    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
7    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
8    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
9    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
10
11  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
12
13  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
14
15  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
16    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
17    degrees).
[99b3298]18
19* aven:
20
21  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
22    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
23    Day.
24
25  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
26    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
27
28  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
29    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
30
[0d8f67a]31  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
32    of the line in cavern log window.
33
[99b3298]34  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
35
36  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
37
[0d8f67a]38  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
39    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
40    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
41
[99b3298]42  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
43
44  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
45
46  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
47    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
48    Atkinson and myself.
49
50  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
51
52  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
53    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
54    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
55    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
56    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
57    survey.
58
59  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
60    lines on my netbook.
61
62  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
63    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
64    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
65
66  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
67    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
68    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
69    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
70
71* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
72  James Begley.
73
[0d8f67a]74* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
75  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
76
[99b3298]77* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
78
[7333c2c]79* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
80  messages get used automatically.
81
82* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
83  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
84
[0d8f67a]85* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
86
87* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
88
89* Use https for more URLs which support it.
90
[690fdab]91Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
[dfe8d05]92
93* aven:
94
95  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
96    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
97    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
98    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
99    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
100    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
101    probably change in the future).
102
[690fdab]103  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
104    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
105    the survey tree root.
[dfe8d05]106
[690fdab]107  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
108    the view was recentred).
[dfe8d05]109
110  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
111    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
112    wrong direction).
113
114  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
115    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
116    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
117
[690fdab]118  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
119    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
120    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
121    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
[dfe8d05]122
123  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
124    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
125
[690fdab]126  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
127    addresses #60.
128
129  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
130
131  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
132    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
133    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
134
135  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
136
137  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
138    360 or down past 0.
139
140  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
141    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
142    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
143    real-valued ones.
[dfe8d05]144
145  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
146    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
147
[690fdab]148  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
149    Lynch.
[dfe8d05]150
[690fdab]151  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
152
153  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
154    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
155
156  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
157    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
158    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
159
160  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
161    should now work.
[dfe8d05]162
163* cavern:
164
165  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
166
167  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
168    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
169    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
170
171  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
172    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
173    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
174
175  + Fix check for end of version number array in *required.   We would check up
176    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
177    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
178    issue.
179
180  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
181    by patch from Colin Watson.
182
[690fdab]183  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
184
[dfe8d05]185* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
186
187* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
188  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
189
[690fdab]190* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
191  used in the same dataset.
192
[dfe8d05]193* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
194  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
195
196* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
197  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
198  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
199
200* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
201
[cd746b9]202Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
203
204* aven:
205
206  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
207    cavern again.
208
[8ee50db]209* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
210  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
211  location and use the same start menu folder.
212
213* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
214  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
215
216* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
217  by James Begley.
218
[cd5cd8f]219Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
[4e92bec]220
[cd5cd8f]221* aven:
[4e92bec]222
[cd5cd8f]223  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
224    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
225    to address.
[4e92bec]226
[cd5cd8f]227  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
228    over the survey tree.
[4e92bec]229
[cd5cd8f]230  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
[4e92bec]231
[cd5cd8f]232  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
233    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]234
[cd5cd8f]235  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
236    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
237    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
238    encoded.
[4e92bec]239
[cd5cd8f]240  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
241    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
242    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
243    terminals which do still support this.
[4e92bec]244
[cd5cd8f]245  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
246    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
[4e92bec]247
[cd5cd8f]248* cavern:
[4e92bec]249
[cd5cd8f]250  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
251    Edwards (see #78).
[4e92bec]252
[cd5cd8f]253  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
254    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
255    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
256    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
[4e92bec]257
[cd5cd8f]258  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
259    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
260    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
[4e92bec]261
[cd5cd8f]262  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
263    from Pete Smart (see #69).
[4e92bec]264
[cd5cd8f]265* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
266  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
267  Black.
[4e92bec]268
[cd5cd8f]269* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
[4e92bec]270
[cd5cd8f]271* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
272  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
273  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
274  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
275  Black.
[4e92bec]276
[cd5cd8f]277* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
278  Black.
[4e92bec]279
[cd5cd8f]280* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
[4e92bec]281
[cd5cd8f]282* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
[4e92bec]283
[cd5cd8f]284* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]285
[cd5cd8f]286* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
[4e92bec]287
[cd5cd8f]288* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
[4e92bec]289
[cd5cd8f]290* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
291  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
[4e92bec]292
[cd5cd8f]293* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
294  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
295  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
[4e92bec]296
[cd5cd8f]297* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
298  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
299  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
300  privileges or not.
[4e92bec]301
[52dad0e]302Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
303
304* aven:
305
306  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
307    Clipstone.
308
309  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
310    Reported by Jenny Black.
311
312  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
313    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
314    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
315
316  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
317    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
318    messages.
319
320  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
321    the terminal in 1.2.23.
322
323* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
324  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
325
326* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
327
328* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
329  by Wookey.
330
[1ff33eb]331Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
[1ed104f]332
333* aven:
334
335  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
336    machines.
337
338  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
339
340  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
341    already being processed.
342
343  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
344    Reported by Martin Green.
345
[d56a2d4]346  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
347
348* cavern:
349
350  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
351    find the original survey notes).
352
353  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
354    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
355    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
356    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
357    progress display to be useful.
[1ed104f]358
359* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
360
[d56a2d4]361* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
362  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
363
[1ed104f]364* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
365  running cavern.
366
[53b6a5a]367* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
368  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
369  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
370
[7f7dbd5]371Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
[d225571]372
373* aven:
374
375  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
376    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
377    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
378    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
379    finding this fix.
380
381* cavern:
382
383  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
384
385  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
386    station.
387
[7f7dbd5]388  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
389    *export.
390
[2d865b7]391Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
[31e9b72]392
[03c259e]393* aven:
394
[2d865b7]395  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
396    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
397    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
398
[22f17f1]399  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
400
[03c259e]401  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
402    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
403    does.
404
[2d865b7]405  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
406    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
407
408  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
409    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
410
411  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
412    as appropriate.
413
[03c259e]414  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
415    values on Windows.
416
417* cavern:
418
[22f17f1]419  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
420    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
421    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
422
[2d865b7]423  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
424    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
425
426  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
427    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
428    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
[1687a13]429    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
430
431  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
432    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
433    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
434    Atkinson.
[2d865b7]435
436  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
437    actual error rather than on a separate line.
[22f17f1]438
[03c259e]439  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
440    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
441    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
442    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
443
444  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
445    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
446    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
447
448* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
449  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
450  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
451  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
452
453* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
454
[2d865b7]455* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
456  "*DECLINATION" command.
457
[ab3b4a9]458* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
459  Reported by Jenny Black.
460
461* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
462  documentation.
463
[22f17f1]464* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
465  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
466
467* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
468
[2d865b7]469* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
470
[7027ea1]471Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
[0eaf4b1]472
473* aven:
474
[6de8e942]475  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
[31e9b72]476    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
477    the same or very similar by default.
[0eaf4b1]478
479  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
480    Maynard.
481
482  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
483
[7027ea1]484  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
485
486  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
487    away.
488
489  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
[6de8e942]490
491  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
492    display it.
493
494* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
495  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
496  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
497  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
498
[0eaf4b1]499* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
500
501* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
502  before 1.2.19.
503
504* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
505  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
506
507* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
508
509* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
510  disk image.
511
[6de8e942]512* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
513
[0eaf4b1]514* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
515  libav features we don't use.
516
517* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
518  a load of libav features we don't use.
519
520* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
521  message in the installer.
522
[1dc99d1]523Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
[f96ac93]524
525* aven:
526
527  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
528    the exported file in 1.2.18.
529
[2dac61e1]530  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
531
[4b67f71]532  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
533    exit full screen mode.
534
535  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
536    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
537    using since 1.2.7).
[2dac61e1]538
[f96ac93]539  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
540    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
541    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
542    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
[2dac61e1]543    St. Lawrence.
[f96ac93]544
545  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
546    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
547
548  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
549    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
550    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
551
552  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
553    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
554    case like we do on other platforms.
555
[739440f]556  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
557
[2dac61e1]558  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
559    support multi-monitor setups.
560
[f96ac93]561  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
562    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
563
[4b67f71]564  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
565    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
566
[f96ac93]567  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
568    cases.
569
[2dac61e1]570  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
571    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
572    Erin Lynch)
573
574  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
575    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
576    items in in so it uses the full width.
[f96ac93]577
578  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
579    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
580    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
581    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
582    window.
583
[2dac61e1]584  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
585    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
586    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
587    only relevant on the first ever run.
[f96ac93]588
589* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
590
591* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
592  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
593  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
594  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
595  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
596  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
597
[4b67f71]598* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
599  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
600
[3f02aa4]601Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
[2595419]602
[4a8031f]603* aven:
[a5670c7]604
[4a8031f]605  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
606    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
607    rendering it as a transparent surface.
[a5670c7]608
[4a8031f]609  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
610    sanely want to perform from the menu.
[a5670c7]611
[4a8031f]612  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
613    colouring options.
[a5670c7]614
[4a8031f]615  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
[a5670c7]616
[4a8031f]617  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
618    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
619    pressing "Escape".
[a5670c7]620
[38e5701]621  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
622    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
623
[4a8031f]624  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
625    exporting.
[a5670c7]626
[38e5701]627  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
628
629  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
630    is quite likely to change.
631
[4a8031f]632  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
633    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
[a5670c7]634
[4a8031f]635  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
636    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
637    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
638
639  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
640
641  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
642    markers in orange.
643
644  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
645    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
646
647  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
648    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
649    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
650    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
651    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
652    them would be better.
653
654  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
655    Gee.
656
657  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
658    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
659    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
660
661  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
662
663* cavern:
[0476b10]664
[38e5701]665  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
666    susscorfa).
667
[4a8031f]668  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
[38e5701]669    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
[4a8031f]670
671  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
672
673  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
674    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
675
676  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
677    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
678
679* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
680
681* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
682  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
683  in a modern desktop.
[a5670c7]684
[dd65182]685* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
686  the filename in the error message.
687
[4a8031f]688* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
689  most complete translations.
[dd65182]690
[4a8031f]691* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
[dd65182]692
[4a8031f]693* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
694  lacks them.
[dd65182]695
[4a8031f]696* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
697
698* Manual:
699
700  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
701    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
702
703  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
[dd65182]704
[4a8031f]705  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
[dd65182]706
[4a8031f]707  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
708    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
709    available for download.
710
711* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
712  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
713  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
[2595419]714
[4a8031f]715* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
[dd65182]716
[3f02aa4]717* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
718
[1646310]719Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
[a6064e2]720
721* MacOS X version:
722
723  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
724
[e067870]725  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
[9e053fc]726
[e067870]727  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
728
729  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
[9e053fc]730
731  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
732    currently do this for us.
733
[a6064e2]734  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
735
736  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
737
[9e053fc]738  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
739
740  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
741    OS X cursor.
742
[e067870]743  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
744    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
745    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
746    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
747    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
748    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
749    with TextEdit.app for example).
750
751  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
752    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
753
[a6064e2]754  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
755
[9e053fc]756  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
757    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
758
759  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
760    Riggs.
761
762  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
763    space.
764
[4baea3a]765  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
[9e053fc]766
767  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
768    10.10.1.
769
770  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
771    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
772    errors.
773
[4baea3a]774  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
775    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
776    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
777    wxWidgets build supports by default.
778
[e067870]779  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
780
[a6064e2]781* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
782  treat as a single leg.
783
[9e053fc]784* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
785
786* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
787
788* aven:
789
790  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
791    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
792
793  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
794    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
795    1:500).
796
797  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
798    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
799    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
800    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
801
802  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
803    there rather than the two animations fighting.
804
805  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
806    fast.
807
808  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
809    when rotating).
810
[1646310]811  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
812    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
813
814* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
815  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
816
817* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
818
819* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
820
821* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
822
823* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
[e067870]824
[a6064e2]825* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
826  we're using git.
827
[1646310]828* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
829
830  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
831    compass.
832
833  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
834
835  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
[a6064e2]836
[03d0e8b]837Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
[9aa10ad]838
839* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
840
[f480117d]841* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
842
[9aa10ad]843* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
844
845* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
846  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
847
848* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
849
850* tests/: Improve test coverage.
851
[7bd113b]852* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
853  Greek and Polish.
[9aa10ad]854
855* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
856  by Martin Sluka.
857
858* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
859  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
860
[44f51ca]861Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
862
863* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
864  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
865  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
866  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
867  for *cs has also been improved.
868
869* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
870  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
871  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
872  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
873
874* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
875  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
876  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
877  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
878  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
879
880* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
881  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
882  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
883
884* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
885
886* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
887
888* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
889  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
890  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
891
892* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
893  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
894
[6a87cce]895Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
[5c676e2]896
[1efeb6d]897* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
898  system in use in 3d v8 files.
899
900* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
901  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
[6a87cce]902  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
903  export dialog.
[1efeb6d]904
[ea59b58]905* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
906  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
907  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
908  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
909  rather than having one corner there.
910
[26e7fa4]911* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
912  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
913
[5c676e2]914* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
915  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
916
[515b83e]917* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
918  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
919  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
920
[5c676e2]921* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
922  such as 64-bit Linux.
923
[2c5ec88]924* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
925  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
926
[5c676e2]927* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
928  64-bit platforms.
929
[ea59b58]930* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
931  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
932  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
933
[2c5ec88]934* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
935  the space available in the aven UI.
936
[1efeb6d]937* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
938  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
939  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
[ea59b58]940
[515b83e]941* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
942  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
943
[6a87cce]944* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
945  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
946  about unconnected surveys.
947
948* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
949  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
950
[67a0fc6]951* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
952  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
953  freed memory.
954
[1efeb6d]955* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
956
957* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
958
[2c5ec88]959* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
960
[5c676e2]961* Fix a compiler warning.
962
963* Improve test coverage.
964
[0d365be]965Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
[acbb5b1]966
[8ccd1d8]967* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
968  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
969  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
970
[acbb5b1]971* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
972  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
973  Hugh St Lawrence.
974
[0d365be]975* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
[8ccd1d8]976  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
977  with using aven on a touch screen device.
978
[acbb5b1]979* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
980  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
981
982* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
983  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
984
985* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
986  off and back on.
987
988* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
989  up time a little.
990
991* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
992  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
993
994* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
995  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
996  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
997  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
998  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
999  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
1000  situation too.
1001
1002* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
1003  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
1004  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
1005
1006* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
1007
1008* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
1009
1010* Minor translation updates to French.
1011
1012* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
1013
1014* Testsuite improvements:
1015
1016  + Test that "..." anon station works.
1017
1018  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
1019    fail and give an error count.
1020
1021  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
1022
[ad727d8]1023Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
[46d12e9]1024
[63e8642]1025* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
1026  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
1027  Clipstone.
[46d12e9]1028
[ad727d8]1029* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
1030
1031* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
1032
1033  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
1034    overlap the scale bar ticks.
1035
1036  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
1037    clipping the border in print preview.
1038
1039  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
1040
[63e8642]1041* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
1042  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
[46d12e9]1043
[63e8642]1044* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
1045  available.
[46d12e9]1046
[ad727d8]1047* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
1048
1049* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
1050
1051* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
1052  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
1053
[63e8642]1054* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
1055  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
[46d12e9]1056
[63e8642]1057* Various translation updates.
[46d12e9]1058
[aac3336]1059Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
[fb941bfd]1060
1061* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
1062  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
1063
[aac3336]1064* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
1065  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
1066  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
1067  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
1068
[ad3017d]1069* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
1070  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
1071
[77bdacf]1072* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
1073  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
[ad3017d]1074
1075* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
1076  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
1077
1078* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
1079  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1080
1081* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
1082  box".
1083
1084* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
1085
1086* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
1087  indicators.
1088
1089* aven: All length units are now translatable.
1090
[fb941bfd]1091* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
1092  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
1093  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
1094
[ad3017d]1095* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
1096  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
1097  measurably slower.
1098
1099* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
1100  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
1101
[77bdacf]1102* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
1103  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
1104
[ad3017d]1105* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
1106  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
1107  from Therion and elsewhere.
1108
1109* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
1110  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
1111  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
[fb941bfd]1112
1113* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
1114  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
1115
1116* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
1117  A. Riggs for his work on this.
1118
1119* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
1120  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
1121
1122* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
1123
[ad3017d]1124* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
1125  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
1126  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
1127  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
1128  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
1129  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1130
1131* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
1132
[0ecf3b1]1133Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
1134
1135* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
1136  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
1137  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
1138  Clipstone.
1139
[53966d3]1140* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
1141  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
1142
[6f0d0d8]1143* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
1144  exported SVG files.
1145
1146* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
1147
1148* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
1149  file.
1150
1151* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
1152  GPX files.
1153
1154* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
1155
[0ecf3b1]1156* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
1157  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
1158
1159* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
1160  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
1161  on startup.
1162
1163* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
1164
1165* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
1166  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
1167  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
1168  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
1169  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
1170  other extensions.
1171
1172* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
1173  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
1174  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
1175  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
1176  timezone wrong.
1177
1178* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
1179
[6f0d0d8]1180* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
1181  'SURVEY DATE:'.
[0ecf3b1]1182
[6f0d0d8]1183* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
[0ecf3b1]1184
[6f0d0d8]1185* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
[0ecf3b1]1186
[53966d3]1187* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
1188  enabled.
1189
[6b6fb4d]1190Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
1191
1192* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
1193
1194* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
1195
1196* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
1197
1198* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
1199  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
1200  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
1201
1202* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
1203  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
1204  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
1205
1206* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
1207  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
1208
1209* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
1210
1211* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
1212
1213* Fix some compiler warnings.
1214
[e1f27c4]1215Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
[da65891]1216
1217* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
1218  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
1219  Holder.
1220
[e1f27c4]1221* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
[034141d]1222  statistics when the value gets large.
1223
[a4adf09]1224* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
1225  equations.
1226
[e1f27c4]1227* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
1228  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
1229  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
1230  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
1231  better when the "View" box is hidden.
1232
[0056ee1]1233* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
1234  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1235
[e1f27c4]1236* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
1237  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
1238  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
1239  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
1240  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
1241  way is coming soon.
1242
1243* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
1244  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
1245
1246* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
1247  time ago, so update references.
1248
1249* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
1250  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1251
1252* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
1253  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
1254
1255* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
1256  Sebastian Ramacher.
1257
1258* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
1259
1260* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
1261
1262* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
1263
1264* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
1265
1266* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
1267
1268* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
1269  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
1270  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
1271
1272* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
1273
1274* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
[9fc1cac]1275
[88b54df6]1276* img library:
1277
[e1f27c4]1278  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
1279    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
1280    reading).
1281
1282  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
1283    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
1284
1285  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
1286    support these as an extension.
[88b54df6]1287
[f807d8bf]1288  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
1289
[e1f27c4]1290* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
1291  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
1292  itself has any translations for.
1293
1294* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
1295
1296* Minor translation updates.
1297
1298* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
1299
[e34bebc]1300Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
[65d9b6b]1301
[e34bebc]1302* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
1303  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
1304  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
1305  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
1306  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
1307  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
1308  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
1309  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]1310
[e34bebc]1311* New version 8 of the 3d format:
[07beaa4]1312
[e34bebc]1313  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[07beaa4]1314
[e34bebc]1315  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
1316    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
[da9d788]1317
[e34bebc]1318  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
1319    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
[da9d788]1320
[e34bebc]1321  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
[da9d788]1322
[e34bebc]1323  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
1324    human-readable string.
[da9d788]1325
[e34bebc]1326  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
1327    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
[da9d788]1328
[e34bebc]1329* img library:
[da9d788]1330
[e34bebc]1331  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[da9d788]1332
[e34bebc]1333  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
1334    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
[da9d788]1335
[e34bebc]1336  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
1337    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
1338    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
1339    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
1340    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
1341    explicitly in the file.
[da9d788]1342
[e34bebc]1343  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
[da9d788]1344
[e34bebc]1345* aven:
[da9d788]1346
[e34bebc]1347  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
1348    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
1349    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
1350    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
1351    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
1352    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
[da9d788]1353
[e34bebc]1354  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
1355    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
1356    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
1357    queued up.
[da9d788]1358
[e34bebc]1359  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
1360    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
1361
1362  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
1363    them like other legs.
1364
1365  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
1366    station names to positions.
1367
1368  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
1369    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
1370    wrongly.
1371
1372  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
1373
1374  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
1375    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
1376    that's used by the desktop).
1377
1378  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
[07beaa4]1379
[e34bebc]1380  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
1381    error from cavern.
[07beaa4]1382
[e34bebc]1383  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
[da9d788]1384
[e34bebc]1385  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
1386    in the dialog in sync.
[da9d788]1387
[e34bebc]1388* cavern:
[3dfffa2]1389
[e34bebc]1390  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
1391    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
1392    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
[3dfffa2]1393
[e34bebc]1394  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
1395    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]1396
[e34bebc]1397  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
1398    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
1399    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
1400    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
1401    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
1402    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
1403    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
1404    degrees.
[da9d788]1405
[e34bebc]1406  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
1407    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
1408    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
[da9d788]1409
[e34bebc]1410  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
[da9d788]1411
[e34bebc]1412  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
1413    warnings.
[07beaa4]1414
[e34bebc]1415  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
1416    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
[07beaa4]1417
[e34bebc]1418  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
1419    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
[da9d788]1420
[e34bebc]1421  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
1422    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
1423    relevant.
[da9d788]1424
[e34bebc]1425  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
1426    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
1427    the same line.
[da9d788]1428
[e34bebc]1429  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
1430    "End of line not blank" error.
[7f6250a]1431
[e34bebc]1432  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
1433    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
[3dfffa2]1434
[e34bebc]1435  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
1436    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
[07beaa4]1437
[e34bebc]1438  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
1439    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
1440    include that character in the token reported.
[3dfffa2]1441
[e34bebc]1442  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
1443    first item.
[07beaa4]1444
[e34bebc]1445* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
[07beaa4]1446
[e34bebc]1447* dump3d:
[07beaa4]1448
[e34bebc]1449  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
1450    info from 3d files in scripts.
[07beaa4]1451
[e34bebc]1452  + Add --show-dates option.
[07beaa4]1453
[e34bebc]1454  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
[07beaa4]1455
[e34bebc]1456  + Report the data style of legs.
[da9d788]1457
[e34bebc]1458  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
1459
1460  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
[3dfffa2]1461
1462* Test suite:
1463
1464  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
1465    expected output so it passes reliably.
1466
[e34bebc]1467  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
1468    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
1469
[07beaa4]1470  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
1471    for more.
1472
[e34bebc]1473* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
1474  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
1475  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
[3dfffa2]1476
1477* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
1478  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
1479
1480* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
1481  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
1482
[e34bebc]1483* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
[665183c]1484  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
[e34bebc]1485  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
1486  settings.
1487
1488* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
1489  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
1490  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
1491  set correctly.
1492
1493* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
1494  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
1495  them to translate.
1496
[07beaa4]1497* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
1498  close to complete.
[3dfffa2]1499
1500* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
1501
[07beaa4]1502* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
1503
[e34bebc]1504* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
1505
[c575465]1506Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
[b081031]1507
1508* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
1509
1510* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
1511  package (ticket#35).
1512
1513* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
1514  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
1515  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
1516
1517* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
1518  Kahler.
1519
1520* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
[c575465]1521  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
1522  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
1523  libproj and build survex with:
1524
1525      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1526      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
[b081031]1527
1528* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
1529
1530* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
1531
1532* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
1533  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
1534  file".
1535
[685116f]1536Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
1537
1538* aven:
1539
1540  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
1541
1542  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
1543    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
1544
1545  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
1546
1547  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
1548
1549  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
1550    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
1551
1552* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
1553  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
1554  error early on).
1555
1556* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
1557  the man page source as well as in the filename.
1558
[f15ca67f]1559Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
1560
1561* aven:
1562
1563  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
1564    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
1565    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
1566    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
1567
1568  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
1569    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
1570
1571  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
1572
1573  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
1574
1575  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
1576
1577* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
1578
[5b9942e]1579Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
1580
1581* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
1582
1583* (Mac OS X version):
1584
1585  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
1586
1587  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
1588
1589  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
1590    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
1591
1592  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
1593
1594* aven:
1595
1596  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
1597
1598  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
1599
1600    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
1601      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
1602      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
1603      character.
1604
1605    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
1606      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
1607      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
1608      and two in a few cases.
1609
1610    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
1611      8 pixels.
1612
1613  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
1614    draw crosses.
1615
[3ea0178]1616  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
1617    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
1618    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
1619    is the start or end of a tube.
1620
[5b9942e]1621  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
1622    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
1623
1624  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
1625    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
1626    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
1627
[3ea0178]1628* extend:
1629
1630  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
[5b9942e]1631
[3ea0178]1632  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
1633    which means "no info").
1634
1635* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
1636  was no longer used - it certainly is!
1637
1638* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
1639  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
1640  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
1641  current character set.
[5b9942e]1642
[3ea0178]1643* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
[5b9942e]1644
1645* Test suite:
1646
1647  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
1648
1649  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
1650
[94960ad]1651Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
1652
1653* aven:
1654
1655  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
1656    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
1657    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
1658    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
1659    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
1660    usable format.
1661
1662  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
1663    files.  (ticket#26)
1664
1665  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
1666    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
1667
[53f8a93]1668  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
1669    using lines.
1670
[94960ad]1671  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
1672    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
1673
1674  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
1675    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
1676    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
1677    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
1678
1679  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
1680    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
1681    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
1682
1683  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
1684    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
1685    in 1.2.1.
1686
[9704252]1687Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
[e3c58c3]1688
1689* Translation updates for US English.
1690
1691* aven:
1692
1693  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
1694    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
1695
1696  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
1697
1698  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
1699    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
1700    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
1701    visually similar to the survey legs.
1702
1703  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
1704    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
1705
[9704252]1706  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
1707    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
1708    does still provide some useful information).
1709
1710  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
1711    a depth band boundary.
[e3c58c3]1712
1713  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
[9704252]1714    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
1715    full-screen mode).
[e3c58c3]1716
1717  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
1718    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
1719    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
1720    are a little better, though still not perfect.
1721
1722  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
1723    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
1724
1725  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
1726    that station.
1727
1728  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
1729    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
1730
1731  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
1732    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
1733    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
[9704252]1734    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
1735    a case as it is a bug).
[e3c58c3]1736
[9704252]1737  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
1738    invalidated on window width or height changes.
[e3c58c3]1739
1740  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
1741    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
1742    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
1743    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
1744
[9704252]1745  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
1746    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
1747    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
1748    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
1749    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
1750    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
1751    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
[e3c58c3]1752
1753  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
1754    similarly for other compass points.
1755
1756  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
1757    info in the "About" dialog.
1758
1759  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
1760    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
1761
1762  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
1763    as well as still working with older versions.
1764
1765  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
1766    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
1767
1768  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
1769    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
1770    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
1771    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
1772    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
1773
1774  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
1775    nicer and make better use of the available space.
1776
1777  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
1778    dialog.
1779
1780  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
1781    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
1782
1783  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
1784    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
1785
[9704252]1786  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
1787
[e3c58c3]1788  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
1789
1790  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
1791    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
1792    being pressed and toggle full screen.
1793
1794* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
1795  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
1796
1797* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
1798
1799* More messages are now available to be translated.
1800
1801* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
1802  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
1803
1804* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
1805
1806* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
1807  sudo for installing on Unix.
1808
1809* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
1810  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
1811
1812* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
1813  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
1814
1815* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1816
[120c1c6]1817Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
[b4ac7007]1818
1819* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
1820  English.
1821
[9cfcb3f]1822* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
1823  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
1824  case.
1825
1826* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
1827  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
1828  these into Survex's .msg format.
1829
[b4ac7007]1830* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
1831  an actual command).
1832
[9cfcb3f]1833* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
1834  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
1835  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
1836  recurrence of that).
1837
[b4ac7007]1838* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
1839  than /usr/doc/survex.
1840
1841* aven:
1842
[120c1c6]1843  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
1844
[9cfcb3f]1845  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
1846    nicer at larger sizes.
1847
[b4ac7007]1848  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
1849    with GLX >= 1.3.
1850
1851  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
1852
1853  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
[4095cc0]1854    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
1855    required libraries set up for building releases.
[b4ac7007]1856
1857  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
1858
1859  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
1860
1861  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
1862    rendered with icons on some platforms.
1863
[9cfcb3f]1864  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
1865    ISO8859-1).
1866
1867  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
1868    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
1869
1870  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
1871    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
1872
[b4ac7007]1873* cavern:
1874
1875  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
1876    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
1877    fatal error!
1878
[9cfcb3f]1879  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
1880    format to output.  (ticket#21)
1881
1882* img library:
1883
1884  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
1885    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
1886
[b4ac7007]1887* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
[120c1c6]1888  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
[b4ac7007]1889
[8f9b0b6d]1890Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]1891
1892* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
1893  Portuguese, and US English.
1894
1895* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]1896  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]1897
1898* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
1899  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
1900
1901* img.c:
1902
1903  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
1904
1905  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
1906
1907* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
1908
[8f9b0b6d]1909* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
1910  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
1911  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
1912  translated.
1913
[f5e3521]1914Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]1915
1916* aven:
1917
1918  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
1919    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
1920
1921  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
1922    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
1923    addresses ticket#12.
1924
1925  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
1926    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
1927    consistent shape.
1928
1929  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
1930    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
1931    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
1932    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
1933
1934  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
1935    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
1936
1937  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
1938
1939  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
1940    more places.
1941
1942  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]1943    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
1944
1945* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
1946
1947* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
1948  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
1949
1950* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]1951
1952* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
1953  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
1954  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
1955  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
1956  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
1957  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
1958
1959* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
1960  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
1961  redirecting to it.
1962
1963* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
1964  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
1965  I/O).
1966
1967* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
1968  headers.
1969
1970* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
1971
1972* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
1973  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
1974
1975* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
1976
[f9473ab]1977Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
1978
1979* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
1980
1981* aven:
1982
1983  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
1984    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
1985    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
1986    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
1987
1988  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
1989
1990  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
1991    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
1992    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
1993    a number.
1994
1995  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
1996    log window.
1997
1998  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
1999    various cases.
2000
2001  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
2002    (ticket#9)
2003
2004  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
2005    namespace with its own "Point" class.
2006
2007  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
2008    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
2009
2010  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
2011
2012  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
2013    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
2014
2015* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
2016  give them before.
2017
2018* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
2019  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
2020  point looking for them now.
2021
2022* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
2023  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
2024  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
2025  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
2026
2027* manual:
2028
2029  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
2030
2031  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
2032    (change taken from 1.0).
2033
2034* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
2035
[0bd49eb]2036Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]2037
2038* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
2039
[739b92c]2040* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]2041
2042* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]2043
2044* aven:
2045
[90d0d71]2046  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
2047
2048  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
2049    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
2050    seem to be Unicode now).
2051
2052  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
2053    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
2054
[e4bfd2f]2055  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
2056    text on the survey pane:
2057
2058    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
2059
2060    - Character spacing is improved.
2061
2062    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]2063
2064  + "About" dialog:
2065
2066    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
2067      bug reporting.
2068
2069    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
2070      modern gfx card.
2071
2072    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
2073
2074  + Processing .svx files:
2075
2076    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]2077
[739b92c]2078    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
2079      than opening a separate frame for it.
2080
[90d0d71]2081    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
2082
2083    - Fix small memory leak.
2084
2085  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
2086    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
2087    such a name.
2088
2089  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
2090
[e4bfd2f]2091  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
2092    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
2093    invocations.
2094
[90d0d71]2095  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
2096
2097  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
2098
[739b92c]2099  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
2100
[90d0d71]2101* Documentation:
2102
[e4bfd2f]2103  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
2104
2105  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
2106    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
2107    together isn't very useful.
2108
[90d0d71]2109  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
2110
2111  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
2112    the FSF website.
2113
2114  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
2115    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
2116    the source code.
2117
2118* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
2119  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]2120
[e4bfd2f]2121* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
2122  package from the source tarball.
2123
[739b92c]2124* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
2125  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
2126
[2e12f8c]2127Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]2128
2129* aven:
2130
[3db0798]2131  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
2132
[5940815]2133  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
2134
[6b2113d]2135  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
2136    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
2137    names/crosses).
2138
[920b066]2139Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
2140
2141* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
2142
[99d8798]2143* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
2144
[920b066]2145* aven:
[78c67a6]2146
[920b066]2147  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]2148
[920b066]2149  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]2150
[920b066]2151  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
2152    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]2153
[920b066]2154  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
2155    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]2156
[920b066]2157  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]2158
[920b066]2159  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
2160    depth colouring.
[99d8798]2161
[920b066]2162  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]2163
[920b066]2164  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]2165
[920b066]2166  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]2167
[920b066]2168  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]2169
[920b066]2170  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]2171
[920b066]2172  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]2173
[920b066]2174  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]2175
[920b066]2176  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]2177
[920b066]2178  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
2179    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]2180
[920b066]2181  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]2182
[920b066]2183  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
2184    default.
[99d8798]2185
[920b066]2186* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
2187  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]2188
[920b066]2189* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
2190  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]2191
[920b066]2192* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]2193
[920b066]2194* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]2195
[920b066]2196Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]2197
2198* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
2199  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
2200  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
2201  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
2202  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
2203
2204* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
2205  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
2206  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]2207
[ac3f376]2208* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
2209  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
2210  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
2211
2212* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
2213  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
2214  allowed).
2215
2216* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
2217
2218* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
2219
2220* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
2221
[920b066]2222Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]2223
2224* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
2225  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
2226
2227* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
2228  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
2229  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
2230
2231* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
2232  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
2233  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
2234  the new "*data passage" style.
2235
2236* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
2237  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
2238
2239* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
2240  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
2241  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
2242  some cases.
2243
2244* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
2245  with no survey loaded.
2246
2247* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
2248
2249* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
2250  loaded a survey.
2251
2252* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
2253
2254* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
2255
2256* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
2257  doesn't exist.
2258
2259* Updated French and Italian translations.
2260
2261* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]2262  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
2263
[6a2594be]2264* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
2265  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
2266  update their copy).
2267
2268* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
2269  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
2270  trying to compile).
2271
[920b066]2272Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]2273
[c988ae4]2274* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
2275  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
2276
[9577fcc]2277* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
2278  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
2279  has been disabled.
2280
[ecf2d23]2281* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
2282  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
2283  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
2284  time.
2285
[d1628e8e]2286* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
2287  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
2288  highlighted stations.
2289
[e67ed1b]2290* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
2291
[3ddd351]2292* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
2293  the tilt from plan to elevation.
2294
[c988ae4]2295* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
2296  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
2297
2298* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
2299  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
2300  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
2301
2302* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
2303  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
2304
2305* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
2306
[84f1ed1]2307* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
2308
[a884696]2309* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
2310
[9fe7af4f]2311* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
2312  run by an unprivileged user.
2313
2314* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
2315  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
2316  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
2317
2318* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
2319  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
2320
[cd39f67]2321* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
2322
[afffec4]2323* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]2324  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]2325
[38a192d]2326* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
2327  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
2328
[5892e08]2329* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
2330  if it isn't.
2331
[879e9c3]2332* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
2333  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
2334
[c8f929b]2335* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
2336  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
2337
2338* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
2339  reset to default view as well).
2340
2341* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
2342  empty.
2343
2344* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
2345  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
2346
[9ad92cc]2347* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]2348  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
2349  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]2350
2351* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
2352  and non-zero width lines.
2353
2354* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
2355  was turned on.
2356
2357* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
2358  not always being fully written.
2359
[920b066]2360Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]2361
2362* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
2363  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
2364  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
2365  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]2366
[8add4c9]2367* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
2368  with MS Windows).
2369
[9f524ee]2370* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
2371  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
2372  several surveys in the same directory).
2373
[185d793]2374* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]2375  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]2376
[3515947]2377* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
2378
[1235f9b]2379* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
2380  moved off a station.
2381
[4299674]2382* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]2383  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]2384
[60dbe70]2385* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
2386
[125c9ea]2387* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
2388  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
2389
[ec58e3d3]2390* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
2391  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
2392  dialogs.
2393
[8add4c9]2394* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
2395  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
2396
[6662d02]2397* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
2398  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]2399  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]2400
[b65c13f]2401* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
2402  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
2403  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
2404
[17cce5f]2405* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
2406  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
2407
[affaeee]2408* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
2409
[618b01f]2410* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
2411
[920b066]2412Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]2413
2414* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
2415  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
2416
[b88b171]2417* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
2418  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
2419  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
2420  3d file.
2421
[7e01c87]2422* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
2423
2424* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
2425
2426* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
2427  Instead turn off depth colouring.
2428
[8ea82aa]2429* aven: Export as HPGL added.
2430
[887c26e]2431* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
2432  Martin Green).
2433
[7c29c976]2434* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
2435  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
2436  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
2437
[7e01c87]2438* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]2439
[7e01c87]2440* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
2441  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
2442
2443* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
2444  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
2445  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
2446  of everything else.
2447
2448* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
2449  presentation icons.
2450
2451* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
2452  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]2453
[b46bf92]2454* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
2455
[796d7bf]2456* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
2457
[7e01c87]2458* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
2459
2460* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
2461
[b88b171]2462* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
2463  language to use for messages.
2464
[7c29c976]2465* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
2466  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
2467
[8ea82aa]2468* Removed old printer drivers.
2469
[7e01c87]2470* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
2471  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]2472
[920b066]2473Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]2474
2475* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
2476
[4ba80e0]2477* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
2478
2479* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
2480  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
2481
[95ce35f]2482* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
2483  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]2484
[95ce35f]2485* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
2486
[cd78148]2487* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
2488  underground legs is toggled.
2489
[f5627353]2490* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
2491  attached to the previous data.
2492
[dfe4a520]2493* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
2494  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
2495  them.
2496
[920b066]2497Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]2498
2499* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
2500
2501* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
2502  continental European countries).
2503
2504* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
2505  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
2506  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
2507
2508* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
2509
2510* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
2511  they're needed.
2512
2513* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
2514
2515* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
2516
2517* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
2518
2519* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
2520  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
2521  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
2522
2523* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
2524
[920b066]2525Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]2526
2527* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
2528
2529* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
2530
2531* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
2532
2533* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
2534
2535* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
2536
2537* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
2538
2539* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
2540  when there's a presentation loaded.
2541
2542* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
2543  in cave view.
2544
2545* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
2546
2547* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
2548  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
2549  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
2550
2551* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
2552  filename for file history and window title.
2553
2554* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
2555  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
2556  only needed with GTK1.2.
2557
2558* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
2559
2560* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
2561
2562* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
2563
2564* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
2565
2566Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]2567
2568* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
2569  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
2570  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
2571
2572* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
2573  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
2574
2575* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
2576  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
2577  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
2578  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]2579
[0e558e5]2580* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]2581
2582* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
2583  with --help and --version.
2584
2585* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
2586  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]2587  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]2588  Fixed all these problems.
2589
2590* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
2591  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
2592  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
2593
2594* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]2595  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
2596  sources.
[8faa5d8]2597
[0e558e5]2598* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]2599
2600* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
2601
2602* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
2603  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
2604
2605* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
2606  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
2607  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
2608  animating.
2609
2610* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
2611
2612* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
2613
2614* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
2615  to this branch.
2616
2617* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
2618
2619  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
2620
2621  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
2622
2623  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
2624
2625* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]2626
[8faa5d8]2627* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
2628  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
2629
2630* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
2631
2632* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]2633  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]2634
2635* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
2636
2637* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
2638  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
2639  for anyone building from CVS).
2640
2641* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
2642
[4855072]2643* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]2644
2645* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
2646
2647* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
2648
[0e558e5]2649* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
2650  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]2651  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
2652
2653* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
2654  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
2655
2656* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
2657
2658* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]2659  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
2660  loaded).
[8faa5d8]2661
2662* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
2663
[920b066]2664Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]2665
2666* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]2667  startup.
[a7aa27d9]2668
2669* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
2670  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
2671
[920b066]2672Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]2673
[91e416e]2674* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
2675  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
2676  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]2677
[91e416e]2678* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
2679  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
2680  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]2681
[91e416e]2682* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
2683  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
2684  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]2685
[91e416e]2686* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]2687
[0580c6a]2688* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
2689  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
2690
[4261983]2691* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
2692  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
2693
2694* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
2695  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]2696
[f80077a]2697* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]2698
[6abab84]2699* aven: Perspective view.
2700
[91e416e]2701* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]2702
[91e416e]2703* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
2704  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]2705
[1690fa9]2706* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
2707  and load/save/run them.
2708
[0580c6a]2709* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
2710
