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