RevLine 
[1ff33eb]1Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
[1ed104f]2
3* aven:
4
5  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
6    machines.
7
8  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
9
10  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
11    already being processed.
12
13  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
14    Reported by Martin Green.
15
[d56a2d4]16  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
17
18* cavern:
19
20  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
21    find the original survey notes).
22
23  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
24    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
25    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
26    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
27    progress display to be useful.
[1ed104f]28
29* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
30
[d56a2d4]31* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
32  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
33
[1ed104f]34* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
35  running cavern.
36
[53b6a5a]37* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
38  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
39  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
40
[7f7dbd5]41Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
[d225571]42
43* aven:
44
45  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
46    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
47    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
48    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
49    finding this fix.
50
51* cavern:
52
53  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
54
55  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
56    station.
57
[7f7dbd5]58  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
59    *export.
60
[2d865b7]61Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
[31e9b72]62
[03c259e]63* aven:
64
[2d865b7]65  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
66    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
67    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
68
[22f17f1]69  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
70
[03c259e]71  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
72    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
73    does.
74
[2d865b7]75  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
76    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
77
78  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
79    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
80
81  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
82    as appropriate.
83
[03c259e]84  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
85    values on Windows.
86
87* cavern:
88
[22f17f1]89  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
90    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
91    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
92
[2d865b7]93  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
94    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
95
96  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
97    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
98    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
[1687a13]99    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
100
101  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
102    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
103    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
104    Atkinson.
[2d865b7]105
106  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
107    actual error rather than on a separate line.
[22f17f1]108
[03c259e]109  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
110    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
111    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
112    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
113
114  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
115    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
116    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
117
118* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
119  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
120  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
121  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
122
123* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
124
[2d865b7]125* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
126  "*DECLINATION" command.
127
[ab3b4a9]128* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
129  Reported by Jenny Black.
130
131* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
132  documentation.
133
[22f17f1]134* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
135  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
136
137* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
138
[2d865b7]139* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
140
[7027ea1]141Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
[0eaf4b1]142
143* aven:
144
[6de8e942]145  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
[31e9b72]146    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
147    the same or very similar by default.
[0eaf4b1]148
149  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
150    Maynard.
151
152  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
153
[7027ea1]154  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
155
156  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
157    away.
158
159  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
[6de8e942]160
161  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
162    display it.
163
164* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
165  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
166  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
167  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
168
[0eaf4b1]169* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
170
171* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
172  before 1.2.19.
173
174* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
175  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
176
177* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
178
179* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
180  disk image.
181
[6de8e942]182* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
183
[0eaf4b1]184* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
185  libav features we don't use.
186
187* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
188  a load of libav features we don't use.
189
190* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
191  message in the installer.
192
[1dc99d1]193Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
[f96ac93]194
195* aven:
196
197  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
198    the exported file in 1.2.18.
199
[2dac61e1]200  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
201
[4b67f71]202  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
203    exit full screen mode.
204
205  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
206    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
207    using since 1.2.7).
[2dac61e1]208
[f96ac93]209  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
210    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
211    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
212    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
[2dac61e1]213    St. Lawrence.
[f96ac93]214
215  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
216    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
217
218  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
219    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
220    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
221
222  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
223    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
224    case like we do on other platforms.
225
[739440f]226  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
227
[2dac61e1]228  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
229    support multi-monitor setups.
230
[f96ac93]231  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
232    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
233
[4b67f71]234  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
235    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
236
[f96ac93]237  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
238    cases.
239
[2dac61e1]240  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
241    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
242    Erin Lynch)
243
244  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
245    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
246    items in in so it uses the full width.
[f96ac93]247
248  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
249    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
250    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
251    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
252    window.
253
[2dac61e1]254  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
255    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
256    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
257    only relevant on the first ever run.
[f96ac93]258
259* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
260
261* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
262  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
263  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
264  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
265  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
266  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
267
[4b67f71]268* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
269  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
270
[3f02aa4]271Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
[2595419]272
[4a8031f]273* aven:
[a5670c7]274
[4a8031f]275  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
276    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
277    rendering it as a transparent surface.
[a5670c7]278
[4a8031f]279  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
280    sanely want to perform from the menu.
[a5670c7]281
[4a8031f]282  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
283    colouring options.
[a5670c7]284
[4a8031f]285  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
[a5670c7]286
[4a8031f]287  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
288    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
289    pressing "Escape".
[a5670c7]290
[38e5701]291  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
292    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
293
[4a8031f]294  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
295    exporting.
[a5670c7]296
[38e5701]297  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
298
299  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
300    is quite likely to change.
301
[4a8031f]302  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
303    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
[a5670c7]304
[4a8031f]305  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
306    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
307    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
308
309  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
310
311  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
312    markers in orange.
313
314  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
315    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
316
317  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
318    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
319    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
320    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
321    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
322    them would be better.
323
324  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
325    Gee.
326
327  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
328    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
329    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
330
331  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
332
333* cavern:
[0476b10]334
[38e5701]335  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
336    susscorfa).
337
[4a8031f]338  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
[38e5701]339    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
[4a8031f]340
341  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
342
343  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
344    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
345
346  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
347    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
348
349* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
350
351* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
352  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
353  in a modern desktop.
[a5670c7]354
[dd65182]355* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
356  the filename in the error message.
357
[4a8031f]358* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
359  most complete translations.
[dd65182]360
[4a8031f]361* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
[dd65182]362
[4a8031f]363* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
364  lacks them.
[dd65182]365
[4a8031f]366* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
367
368* Manual:
369
370  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
371    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
372
373  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
[dd65182]374
[4a8031f]375  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
[dd65182]376
[4a8031f]377  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
378    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
379    available for download.
380
381* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
382  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
383  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
[2595419]384
[4a8031f]385* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
[dd65182]386
[3f02aa4]387* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
388
[1646310]389Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
[a6064e2]390
391* MacOS X version:
392
393  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
394
[e067870]395  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
[9e053fc]396
[e067870]397  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
398
399  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
[9e053fc]400
401  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
402    currently do this for us.
403
[a6064e2]404  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
405
406  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
407
[9e053fc]408  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
409
410  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
411    OS X cursor.
412
[e067870]413  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
414    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
415    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
416    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
417    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
418    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
419    with TextEdit.app for example).
420
421  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
422    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
423
[a6064e2]424  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
425
[9e053fc]426  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
427    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
428
429  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
430    Riggs.
431
432  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
433    space.
434
[4baea3a]435  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
[9e053fc]436
437  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
438    10.10.1.
439
440  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
441    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
442    errors.
443
[4baea3a]444  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
445    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
446    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
447    wxWidgets build supports by default.
448
[e067870]449  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
450
[a6064e2]451* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
452  treat as a single leg.
453
[9e053fc]454* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
455
456* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
457
458* aven:
459
460  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
461    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
462
463  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
464    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
465    1:500).
466
467  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
468    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
469    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
470    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
471
472  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
473    there rather than the two animations fighting.
474
475  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
476    fast.
477
478  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
479    when rotating).
480
[1646310]481  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
482    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
483
484* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
485  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
486
487* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
488
489* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
490
491* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
492
493* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
[e067870]494
[a6064e2]495* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
496  we're using git.
497
[1646310]498* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
499
500  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
501    compass.
502
503  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
504
505  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
[a6064e2]506
[03d0e8b]507Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
[9aa10ad]508
509* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
510
[f480117d]511* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
512
[9aa10ad]513* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
514
515* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
516  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
517
518* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
519
520* tests/: Improve test coverage.
521
[7bd113b]522* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
523  Greek and Polish.
[9aa10ad]524
525* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
526  by Martin Sluka.
527
528* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
529  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
530
[44f51ca]531Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
532
533* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
534  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
535  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
536  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
537  for *cs has also been improved.
538
539* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
540  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
541  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
542  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
543
544* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
545  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
546  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
547  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
548  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
549
550* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
551  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
552  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
553
554* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
555
556* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
557
558* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
559  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
560  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
561
562* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
563  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
564
[6a87cce]565Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
[5c676e2]566
[1efeb6d]567* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
568  system in use in 3d v8 files.
569
570* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
571  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
[6a87cce]572  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
573  export dialog.
[1efeb6d]574
[ea59b58]575* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
576  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
577  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
578  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
579  rather than having one corner there.
580
[26e7fa4]581* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
582  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
583
[5c676e2]584* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
585  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
586
[515b83e]587* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
588  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
589  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
590
[5c676e2]591* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
592  such as 64-bit Linux.
593
[2c5ec88]594* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
595  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
596
[5c676e2]597* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
598  64-bit platforms.
599
[ea59b58]600* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
601  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
602  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
603
[2c5ec88]604* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
605  the space available in the aven UI.
606
[1efeb6d]607* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
608  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
609  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
[ea59b58]610
[515b83e]611* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
612  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
613
[6a87cce]614* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
615  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
616  about unconnected surveys.
617
618* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
619  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
620
[67a0fc6]621* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
622  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
623  freed memory.
624
[1efeb6d]625* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
626
627* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
628
[2c5ec88]629* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
630
[5c676e2]631* Fix a compiler warning.
632
633* Improve test coverage.
634
[0d365be]635Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
[acbb5b1]636
[8ccd1d8]637* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
638  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
639  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
640
[acbb5b1]641* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
642  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
643  Hugh St Lawrence.
644
[0d365be]645* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
[8ccd1d8]646  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
647  with using aven on a touch screen device.
648
[acbb5b1]649* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
650  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
651
652* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
653  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
654
655* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
656  off and back on.
657
658* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
659  up time a little.
660
661* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
662  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
663
664* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
665  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
666  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
667  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
668  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
669  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
670  situation too.
671
672* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
673  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
674  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
675
676* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
677
678* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
679
680* Minor translation updates to French.
681
682* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
683
684* Testsuite improvements:
685
686  + Test that "..." anon station works.
687
688  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
689    fail and give an error count.
690
691  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
692
[ad727d8]693Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
[46d12e9]694
[63e8642]695* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
696  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
697  Clipstone.
[46d12e9]698
[ad727d8]699* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
700
701* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
702
703  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
704    overlap the scale bar ticks.
705
706  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
707    clipping the border in print preview.
708
709  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
710
[63e8642]711* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
712  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
[46d12e9]713
[63e8642]714* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
715  available.
[46d12e9]716
[ad727d8]717* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
718
719* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
720
721* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
722  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
723
[63e8642]724* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
725  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
[46d12e9]726
[63e8642]727* Various translation updates.
[46d12e9]728
[aac3336]729Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
[fb941bfd]730
731* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
732  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
733
[aac3336]734* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
735  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
736  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
737  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
738
[ad3017d]739* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
740  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
741
[77bdacf]742* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
743  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
[ad3017d]744
745* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
746  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
747
748* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
749  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
750
751* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
752  box".
753
754* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
755
756* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
757  indicators.
758
759* aven: All length units are now translatable.
760
[fb941bfd]761* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
762  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
763  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
764
[ad3017d]765* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
766  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
767  measurably slower.
768
769* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
770  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
771
[77bdacf]772* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
773  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
774
[ad3017d]775* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
776  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
777  from Therion and elsewhere.
778
779* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
780  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
781  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
[fb941bfd]782
783* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
784  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
785
786* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
787  A. Riggs for his work on this.
788
789* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
790  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
791
792* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
793
[ad3017d]794* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
795  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
796  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
797  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
798  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
799  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
800
801* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
802
[0ecf3b1]803Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
804
805* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
806  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
807  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
808  Clipstone.
809
[53966d3]810* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
811  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
812
[6f0d0d8]813* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
814  exported SVG files.
815
816* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
817
818* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
819  file.
820
821* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
822  GPX files.
823
824* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
825
[0ecf3b1]826* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
827  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
828
829* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
830  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
831  on startup.
832
833* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
834
835* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
836  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
837  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
838  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
839  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
840  other extensions.
841
842* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
843  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
844  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
845  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
846  timezone wrong.
847
848* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
849
[6f0d0d8]850* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
851  'SURVEY DATE:'.
[0ecf3b1]852
[6f0d0d8]853* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
[0ecf3b1]854
[6f0d0d8]855* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
[0ecf3b1]856
[53966d3]857* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
858  enabled.
859
[6b6fb4d]860Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
861
862* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
863
864* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
865
866* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
867
868* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
869  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
870  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
871
872* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
873  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
874  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
875
876* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
877  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
878
879* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
880
881* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
882
883* Fix some compiler warnings.
884
[e1f27c4]885Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
[da65891]886
887* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
888  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
889  Holder.
890
[e1f27c4]891* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
[034141d]892  statistics when the value gets large.
893
[a4adf09]894* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
895  equations.
896
[e1f27c4]897* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
898  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
899  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
900  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
901  better when the "View" box is hidden.
902
[0056ee1]903* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
904  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
905
[e1f27c4]906* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
907  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
908  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
909  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
910  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
911  way is coming soon.
912
913* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
914  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
915
916* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
917  time ago, so update references.
918
919* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
920  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
921
922* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
923  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
924
925* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
926  Sebastian Ramacher.
927
928* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
929
930* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
931
932* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
933
934* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
935
936* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
937
938* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
939  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
940  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
941
942* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
943
944* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
[9fc1cac]945
[88b54df6]946* img library:
947
[e1f27c4]948  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
949    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
950    reading).
951
952  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
953    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
954
955  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
956    support these as an extension.
[88b54df6]957
[f807d8bf]958  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
959
[e1f27c4]960* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
961  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
962  itself has any translations for.
963
964* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
965
966* Minor translation updates.
967
968* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
969
[e34bebc]970Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
[65d9b6b]971
[e34bebc]972* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
973  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
974  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
975  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
976  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
977  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
978  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
979  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]980
[e34bebc]981* New version 8 of the 3d format:
[07beaa4]982
[e34bebc]983  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[07beaa4]984
[e34bebc]985  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
986    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
[da9d788]987
[e34bebc]988  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
989    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
[da9d788]990
[e34bebc]991  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
[da9d788]992
[e34bebc]993  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
994    human-readable string.
[da9d788]995
[e34bebc]996  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
997    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
[da9d788]998
[e34bebc]999* img library:
[da9d788]1000
[e34bebc]1001  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[da9d788]1002
[e34bebc]1003  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
1004    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
[da9d788]1005
[e34bebc]1006  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
1007    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
1008    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
1009    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
1010    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
1011    explicitly in the file.
[da9d788]1012
[e34bebc]1013  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
[da9d788]1014
[e34bebc]1015* aven:
[da9d788]1016
[e34bebc]1017  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
1018    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
1019    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
1020    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
1021    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
1022    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
[da9d788]1023
[e34bebc]1024  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
1025    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
1026    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
1027    queued up.
[da9d788]1028
[e34bebc]1029  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
1030    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
1031
1032  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
1033    them like other legs.
1034
1035  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
1036    station names to positions.
1037
1038  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
1039    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
1040    wrongly.
1041
1042  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
1043
1044  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
1045    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
1046    that's used by the desktop).
1047
1048  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
[07beaa4]1049
[e34bebc]1050  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
1051    error from cavern.
[07beaa4]1052
[e34bebc]1053  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
[da9d788]1054
[e34bebc]1055  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
1056    in the dialog in sync.
[da9d788]1057
[e34bebc]1058* cavern:
[3dfffa2]1059
[e34bebc]1060  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
1061    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
1062    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
[3dfffa2]1063
[e34bebc]1064  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
1065    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]1066
[e34bebc]1067  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
1068    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
1069    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
1070    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
1071    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
1072    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
1073    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
1074    degrees.
[da9d788]1075
[e34bebc]1076  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
1077    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
1078    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
[da9d788]1079
[e34bebc]1080  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
[da9d788]1081
[e34bebc]1082  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
1083    warnings.
[07beaa4]1084
[e34bebc]1085  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
1086    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
[07beaa4]1087
[e34bebc]1088  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
1089    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
[da9d788]1090
[e34bebc]1091  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
1092    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
1093    relevant.
[da9d788]1094
[e34bebc]1095  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
1096    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
1097    the same line.
[da9d788]1098
[e34bebc]1099  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
1100    "End of line not blank" error.
[7f6250a]1101
[e34bebc]1102  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
1103    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
[3dfffa2]1104
[e34bebc]1105  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
1106    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
[07beaa4]1107
[e34bebc]1108  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
1109    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
1110    include that character in the token reported.
[3dfffa2]1111
[e34bebc]1112  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
1113    first item.
[07beaa4]1114
[e34bebc]1115* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
[07beaa4]1116
[e34bebc]1117* dump3d:
[07beaa4]1118
[e34bebc]1119  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
1120    info from 3d files in scripts.
[07beaa4]1121
[e34bebc]1122  + Add --show-dates option.
[07beaa4]1123
[e34bebc]1124  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
[07beaa4]1125
[e34bebc]1126  + Report the data style of legs.
[da9d788]1127
[e34bebc]1128  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
1129
1130  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
[3dfffa2]1131
1132* Test suite:
1133
1134  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
1135    expected output so it passes reliably.
1136
[e34bebc]1137  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
1138    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
1139
[07beaa4]1140  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
1141    for more.
1142
[e34bebc]1143* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
1144  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
1145  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
[3dfffa2]1146
1147* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
1148  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
1149
1150* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
1151  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
1152
[e34bebc]1153* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
[665183c]1154  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
[e34bebc]1155  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
1156  settings.
1157
1158* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
1159  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
1160  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
1161  set correctly.
1162
1163* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
1164  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
1165  them to translate.
1166
[07beaa4]1167* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
1168  close to complete.
[3dfffa2]1169
1170* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
1171
[07beaa4]1172* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
1173
[e34bebc]1174* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
1175
[c575465]1176Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
[b081031]1177
1178* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
1179
1180* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
1181  package (ticket#35).
1182
1183* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
1184  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
1185  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
1186
1187* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
1188  Kahler.
1189
1190* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
[c575465]1191  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
1192  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
1193  libproj and build survex with:
1194
1195      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1196      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
[b081031]1197
1198* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
1199
1200* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
1201
1202* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
1203  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
1204  file".
1205
[685116f]1206Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
1207
1208* aven:
1209
1210  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
1211
1212  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
1213    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
1214
1215  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
1216
1217  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
1218
1219  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
1220    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
1221
1222* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
1223  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
1224  error early on).
1225
1226* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
1227  the man page source as well as in the filename.
1228
[f15ca67f]1229Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
1230
1231* aven:
1232
1233  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
1234    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
1235    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
1236    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
1237
1238  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
1239    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
1240
1241  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
1242
1243  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
1244
1245  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
1246
1247* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
1248
[5b9942e]1249Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
1250
1251* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
1252
1253* (Mac OS X version):
1254
1255  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
1256
1257  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
1258
1259  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
1260    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
1261
1262  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
1263
1264* aven:
1265
1266  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
1267
1268  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
1269
1270    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
1271      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
1272      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
1273      character.
1274
1275    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
1276      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
1277      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
1278      and two in a few cases.
1279
1280    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
1281      8 pixels.
1282
1283  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
1284    draw crosses.
1285
[3ea0178]1286  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
1287    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
1288    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
1289    is the start or end of a tube.
1290
[5b9942e]1291  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
1292    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
1293
1294  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
1295    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
1296    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
1297
[3ea0178]1298* extend:
1299
1300  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
[5b9942e]1301
[3ea0178]1302  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
1303    which means "no info").
1304
1305* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
1306  was no longer used - it certainly is!
1307
1308* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
1309  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
1310  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
1311  current character set.
[5b9942e]1312
[3ea0178]1313* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
[5b9942e]1314
1315* Test suite:
1316
1317  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
1318
1319  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
1320
[94960ad]1321Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
1322
1323* aven:
1324
1325  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
1326    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
1327    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
1328    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
1329    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
1330    usable format.
1331
1332  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
1333    files.  (ticket#26)
1334
1335  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
1336    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
1337
[53f8a93]1338  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
1339    using lines.
1340
[94960ad]1341  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
1342    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
1343
1344  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
1345    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
1346    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
1347    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
1348
1349  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
1350    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
1351    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
1352
1353  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
1354    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
1355    in 1.2.1.
1356
[9704252]1357Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
[e3c58c3]1358
1359* Translation updates for US English.
1360
1361* aven:
1362
1363  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
1364    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
1365
1366  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
1367
1368  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
1369    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
1370    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
1371    visually similar to the survey legs.
1372
1373  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
1374    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
1375
[9704252]1376  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
1377    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
1378    does still provide some useful information).
1379
1380  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
1381    a depth band boundary.
[e3c58c3]1382
1383  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
[9704252]1384    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
1385    full-screen mode).
[e3c58c3]1386
1387  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
1388    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
1389    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
1390    are a little better, though still not perfect.
1391
1392  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
1393    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
1394
1395  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
1396    that station.
1397
1398  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
1399    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
1400
1401  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
1402    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
1403    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
[9704252]1404    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
1405    a case as it is a bug).
[e3c58c3]1406
[9704252]1407  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
1408    invalidated on window width or height changes.
[e3c58c3]1409
1410  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
1411    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
1412    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
1413    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
1414
[9704252]1415  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
1416    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
1417    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
1418    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
1419    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
1420    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
1421    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
[e3c58c3]1422
1423  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
1424    similarly for other compass points.
1425
1426  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
1427    info in the "About" dialog.
1428
1429  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
1430    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
1431
1432  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
1433    as well as still working with older versions.
1434
1435  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
1436    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
1437
1438  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
1439    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
1440    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
1441    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
1442    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
1443
1444  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
1445    nicer and make better use of the available space.
1446
1447  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
1448    dialog.
1449
1450  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
1451    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
1452
1453  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
1454    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
1455
[9704252]1456  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
1457
[e3c58c3]1458  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
1459
1460  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
1461    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
1462    being pressed and toggle full screen.
1463
1464* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
1465  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
1466
1467* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
1468
1469* More messages are now available to be translated.
1470
1471* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
1472  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
1473
1474* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
1475
1476* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
1477  sudo for installing on Unix.
1478
1479* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
1480  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
1481
1482* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
1483  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
1484
1485* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1486
[120c1c6]1487Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
[b4ac7007]1488
1489* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
1490  English.
1491
[9cfcb3f]1492* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
1493  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
1494  case.
1495
1496* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
1497  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
1498  these into Survex's .msg format.
1499
[b4ac7007]1500* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
1501  an actual command).
1502
[9cfcb3f]1503* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
1504  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
1505  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
1506  recurrence of that).
1507
[b4ac7007]1508* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
1509  than /usr/doc/survex.
1510
1511* aven:
1512
[120c1c6]1513  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
1514
[9cfcb3f]1515  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
1516    nicer at larger sizes.
1517
[b4ac7007]1518  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
1519    with GLX >= 1.3.
1520
1521  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
1522
1523  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
[4095cc0]1524    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
1525    required libraries set up for building releases.
[b4ac7007]1526
1527  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
1528
1529  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
1530
1531  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
1532    rendered with icons on some platforms.
1533
[9cfcb3f]1534  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
1535    ISO8859-1).
1536
1537  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
1538    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
1539
1540  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
1541    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
1542
[b4ac7007]1543* cavern:
1544
1545  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
1546    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
1547    fatal error!
1548
[9cfcb3f]1549  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
1550    format to output.  (ticket#21)
1551
1552* img library:
1553
1554  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
1555    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
1556
[b4ac7007]1557* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
[120c1c6]1558  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
[b4ac7007]1559
[8f9b0b6d]1560Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]1561
1562* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
1563  Portuguese, and US English.
1564
1565* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]1566  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]1567
1568* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
1569  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
1570
1571* img.c:
1572
1573  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
1574
1575  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
1576
1577* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
1578
[8f9b0b6d]1579* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
1580  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
1581  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
1582  translated.
1583
[f5e3521]1584Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]1585
1586* aven:
1587
1588  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
1589    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
1590
1591  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
1592    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
1593    addresses ticket#12.
1594
1595  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
1596    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
1597    consistent shape.
1598
1599  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
1600    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
1601    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
1602    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
1603
1604  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
1605    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
1606
1607  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
1608
1609  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
1610    more places.
1611
1612  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]1613    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
1614
1615* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
1616
1617* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
1618  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
1619
1620* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]1621
1622* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
1623  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
1624  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
1625  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
1626  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
1627  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
1628
1629* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
1630  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
1631  redirecting to it.
1632
1633* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
1634  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
1635  I/O).
1636
1637* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
1638  headers.
1639
1640* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
1641
1642* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
1643  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
1644
1645* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
1646
[f9473ab]1647Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
1648
1649* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
1650
1651* aven:
1652
1653  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
1654    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
1655    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
1656    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
1657
1658  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
1659
1660  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
1661    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
1662    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
1663    a number.
1664
1665  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
1666    log window.
1667
1668  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
1669    various cases.
1670
1671  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
1672    (ticket#9)
1673
1674  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
1675    namespace with its own "Point" class.
1676
1677  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
1678    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
1679
1680  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
1681
1682  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
1683    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
1684
1685* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
1686  give them before.
1687
1688* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
1689  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
1690  point looking for them now.
1691
1692* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
1693  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
1694  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
1695  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
1696
1697* manual:
1698
1699  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
1700
1701  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
1702    (change taken from 1.0).
1703
1704* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
1705
[0bd49eb]1706Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]1707
1708* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
1709
[739b92c]1710* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]1711
1712* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]1713
1714* aven:
1715
[90d0d71]1716  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
1717
1718  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
1719    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
1720    seem to be Unicode now).
1721
1722  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
1723    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
1724
[e4bfd2f]1725  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
1726    text on the survey pane:
1727
1728    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
1729
1730    - Character spacing is improved.
1731
1732    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]1733
1734  + "About" dialog:
1735
1736    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
1737      bug reporting.
1738
1739    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
1740      modern gfx card.
1741
1742    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
1743
1744  + Processing .svx files:
1745
1746    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]1747
[739b92c]1748    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
1749      than opening a separate frame for it.
1750
[90d0d71]1751    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
1752
1753    - Fix small memory leak.
1754
1755  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
1756    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
1757    such a name.
1758
1759  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
1760
[e4bfd2f]1761  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
1762    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
1763    invocations.
1764
[90d0d71]1765  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
1766
1767  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
1768
[739b92c]1769  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
1770
[90d0d71]1771* Documentation:
1772
[e4bfd2f]1773  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
1774
1775  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
1776    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
1777    together isn't very useful.
1778
[90d0d71]1779  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
1780
1781  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
1782    the FSF website.
1783
1784  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
1785    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
1786    the source code.
1787
1788* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
1789  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]1790
[e4bfd2f]1791* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
1792  package from the source tarball.
1793
[739b92c]1794* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
1795  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
1796
[2e12f8c]1797Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]1798
1799* aven:
1800
[3db0798]1801  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
1802
[5940815]1803  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
1804
[6b2113d]1805  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
1806    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
1807    names/crosses).
1808
[920b066]1809Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
1810
1811* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
1812
[99d8798]1813* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
1814
[920b066]1815* aven:
[78c67a6]1816
[920b066]1817  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]1818
[920b066]1819  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]1820
[920b066]1821  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
1822    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]1823
[920b066]1824  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
1825    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]1826
[920b066]1827  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]1828
[920b066]1829  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
1830    depth colouring.
[99d8798]1831
[920b066]1832  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]1833
[920b066]1834  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]1835
[920b066]1836  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]1837
[920b066]1838  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]1839
[920b066]1840  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]1841
[920b066]1842  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]1843
[920b066]1844  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]1845
[920b066]1846  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]1847
[920b066]1848  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
1849    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]1850
[920b066]1851  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]1852
[920b066]1853  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
1854    default.
[99d8798]1855
[920b066]1856* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
1857  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]1858
[920b066]1859* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
1860  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]1861
[920b066]1862* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]1863
[920b066]1864* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]1865
[920b066]1866Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]1867
1868* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
1869  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
1870  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
1871  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
1872  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
1873
1874* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
1875  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
1876  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]1877
[ac3f376]1878* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
1879  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
1880  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
1881
1882* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
1883  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
1884  allowed).
1885
1886* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
1887
1888* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1889
1890* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1891
[920b066]1892Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]1893
1894* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
1895  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
1896
1897* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
1898  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
1899  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
1900
1901* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
1902  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
1903  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
1904  the new "*data passage" style.
1905
1906* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
1907  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
1908
1909* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
1910  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
1911  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
1912  some cases.
1913
1914* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
1915  with no survey loaded.
1916
1917* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
1918
1919* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
1920  loaded a survey.
1921
1922* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
1923
1924* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
1925
1926* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
1927  doesn't exist.
1928
1929* Updated French and Italian translations.
1930
1931* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]1932  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
1933
[6a2594be]1934* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
1935  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
1936  update their copy).
1937
1938* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
1939  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
1940  trying to compile).
1941
[920b066]1942Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]1943
[c988ae4]1944* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
1945  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
1946
[9577fcc]1947* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
1948  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
1949  has been disabled.
1950
[ecf2d23]1951* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
1952  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
1953  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
1954  time.
1955
[d1628e8e]1956* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
1957  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
1958  highlighted stations.
1959
[e67ed1b]1960* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
1961
[3ddd351]1962* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
1963  the tilt from plan to elevation.
1964
[c988ae4]1965* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
1966  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
1967
1968* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
1969  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
1970  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
1971
1972* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
1973  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
1974
1975* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
1976
[84f1ed1]1977* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
1978
[a884696]1979* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
1980
[9fe7af4f]1981* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
1982  run by an unprivileged user.
1983
1984* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
1985  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
1986  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
1987
1988* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
1989  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
1990
[cd39f67]1991* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
1992
[afffec4]1993* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]1994  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]1995
[38a192d]1996* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
1997  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
1998
[5892e08]1999* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
2000  if it isn't.
2001
[879e9c3]2002* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
2003  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
2004
[c8f929b]2005* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
2006  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
2007
2008* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
2009  reset to default view as well).
2010
2011* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
2012  empty.
2013
2014* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
2015  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
2016
[9ad92cc]2017* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]2018  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
2019  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]2020
2021* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
2022  and non-zero width lines.
2023
2024* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
2025  was turned on.
2026
2027* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
2028  not always being fully written.
2029
[920b066]2030Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]2031
2032* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
2033  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
2034  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
2035  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]2036
[8add4c9]2037* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
2038  with MS Windows).
2039
[9f524ee]2040* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
2041  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
2042  several surveys in the same directory).
2043
[185d793]2044* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]2045  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]2046
[3515947]2047* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
2048
[1235f9b]2049* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
2050  moved off a station.
2051
[4299674]2052* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]2053  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]2054
[60dbe70]2055* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
2056
[125c9ea]2057* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
2058  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
2059
[ec58e3d3]2060* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
2061  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
2062  dialogs.
2063
[8add4c9]2064* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
2065  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
2066
[6662d02]2067* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
2068  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]2069  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]2070
[b65c13f]2071* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
2072  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
2073  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
2074
[17cce5f]2075* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
2076  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
2077
[affaeee]2078* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
2079
[618b01f]2080* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
2081
[920b066]2082Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]2083
2084* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
2085  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
2086
[b88b171]2087* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
2088  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
2089  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
2090  3d file.
2091
[7e01c87]2092* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
2093
2094* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
2095
2096* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
2097  Instead turn off depth colouring.
2098
[8ea82aa]2099* aven: Export as HPGL added.
2100
[887c26e]2101* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
2102  Martin Green).
2103
[7c29c976]2104* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
2105  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
2106  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
2107
[7e01c87]2108* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]2109
[7e01c87]2110* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
2111  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
2112
2113* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
2114  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
2115  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
2116  of everything else.
2117
2118* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
2119  presentation icons.
2120
2121* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
2122  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]2123
[b46bf92]2124* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
2125
[796d7bf]2126* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
2127
[7e01c87]2128* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
2129
2130* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
2131
[b88b171]2132* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
2133  language to use for messages.
2134
[7c29c976]2135* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
2136  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
2137
[8ea82aa]2138* Removed old printer drivers.
2139
[7e01c87]2140* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
2141  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]2142
[920b066]2143Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]2144
2145* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
2146
[4ba80e0]2147* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
2148
2149* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
2150  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
2151
[95ce35f]2152* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
2153  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]2154
[95ce35f]2155* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
2156
[cd78148]2157* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
2158  underground legs is toggled.
2159
[f5627353]2160* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
2161  attached to the previous data.
2162
[dfe4a520]2163* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
2164  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
2165  them.
2166
[920b066]2167Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]2168
2169* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
2170
2171* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
2172  continental European countries).
2173
2174* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
2175  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
2176  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
2177
2178* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
2179
2180* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
2181  they're needed.
2182
2183* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
2184
2185* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
2186
2187* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
2188
2189* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
2190  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
2191  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
2192
2193* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
2194
[920b066]2195Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]2196
2197* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
2198
2199* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
2200
2201* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
2202
2203* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
2204
2205* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
2206
2207* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
2208
2209* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
2210  when there's a presentation loaded.
2211
2212* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
2213  in cave view.
2214
2215* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
2216
2217* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
2218  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
2219  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
2220
2221* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
2222  filename for file history and window title.
2223
2224* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
2225  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
2226  only needed with GTK1.2.
2227
2228* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
2229
2230* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
2231
2232* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
2233
2234* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
2235
2236Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]2237
2238* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
2239  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
2240  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
2241
2242* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
2243  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
2244
2245* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
2246  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
2247  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
2248  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]2249
[0e558e5]2250* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]2251
2252* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
2253  with --help and --version.
2254
2255* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
2256  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]2257  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]2258  Fixed all these problems.
2259
2260* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
2261  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
2262  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
2263
2264* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]2265  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
2266  sources.
[8faa5d8]2267
[0e558e5]2268* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]2269
2270* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
2271
2272* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
2273  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
2274
2275* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
2276  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
2277  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
2278  animating.
2279
2280* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
2281
2282* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
2283
2284* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
2285  to this branch.
2286
2287* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
2288
2289  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
2290
2291  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
2292
2293  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
2294
2295* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]2296
[8faa5d8]2297* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
2298  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
2299
2300* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
2301
2302* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]2303  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]2304
2305* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
2306
2307* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
2308  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
2309  for anyone building from CVS).
2310
2311* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
2312
[4855072]2313* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]2314
2315* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
2316
2317* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
2318
[0e558e5]2319* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
2320  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]2321  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
2322
2323* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
2324  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
2325
2326* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
2327
2328* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]2329  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
2330  loaded).
[8faa5d8]2331
2332* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
2333
[920b066]2334Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]2335
2336* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]2337  startup.
[a7aa27d9]2338
2339* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
2340  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
2341
[920b066]2342Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]2343
[91e416e]2344* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
2345  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
2346  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]2347
[91e416e]2348* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
2349  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
2350  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]2351
[91e416e]2352* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
2353  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
2354  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]2355
[91e416e]2356* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]2357
[0580c6a]2358* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
2359  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
2360
[4261983]2361* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
2362  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
2363
2364* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
2365  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]2366
[f80077a]2367* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]2368
[6abab84]2369* aven: Perspective view.
2370
[91e416e]2371* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]2372
[91e416e]2373* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
2374  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]2375
[1690fa9]2376* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
2377  and load/save/run them.
2378
[0580c6a]2379* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
2380
[045e2af]2381* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
2382
[c60062d]2383* aven: Depth fogging option.
2384
[0580c6a]2385* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
2386
2387* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
2388
[f433fda]2389* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
2390  showing the surface legs.
2391
[0580c6a]2392* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
