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