[cca63ece]1Changes in 1.4.7 (2024-04-07):
2
3* cavern:
4
5  + When using *declination auto we report the range of calculated declinations
6    for each location specified.  After doing this we now reset the range
7    information we're tracking.  Previously we'd misreport the range for
8    the second and subsequent locations.
9
10  + Avoid undefined behaviour on handling filename fallback for filenames
11    containing non-ASCII characters.
12
13  + Show context line with relevant item highlighted for more errors and
14    warnings.
15
16  + The dynamic string handling routines are now more efficient.
17
18  + Fix memory leak if a Compass MAK file opens folders it doesn't close.
19
20  + Fix handling of clino-less legs in Compass DAT.  These would cause cavern
21    to fail with a lot of "NaN" messages.  Now they're treated as having a zero
22    clino with a standard deviation based on the leg length, just like in .svx
23    files.
24
25* img library:
26
27  + Compass PLT: Treat LRUD readings > 900 as omitted readings, which matches
28    what Compass does.  Thanks to Larry Fish for clarifying this.
29
30  + Avoid undefined behaviour after realloc().  We were adjusting a pointer
31    within the reallocated block by subtracting the old block address and
32    adding on the new one.  Technically this is undefined behaviour, although
33    in practice it seems likely it'll work and we've not seen misbehaviour due
34    to it.  However it's easy to avoid by calculating the offset before the
35    realloc().
36
37* Portability:
38
39  + Provide prototype for getopt() to avoid warnings with very recent compiler
40    versions.
41
42  + Avoid using sprintf(), which now triggers warnings on some platforms.
43
44* Build system:
45
46  + Add configure --enable-werror option to turn compiler warnings into errors.
47
48* Expand details of Compass MAK CRS support in manual.
49
50* Minor translation updates.
51
52* (Microsoft Windows version): Now uses PROJ 9.3.0 and ships all of the
53  ancillary files that PROJ comes with.  Hoping this fixes use of coordinate
54  system EPSG:3912 failing, which was reported by Peter Mašič but I've not
55  managed to reproduce.
56
[bad7f1a]57Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-03-07):
[752a9f5]58
59* cavern:
60
61  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
62    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
63    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
64    mailing list.
[7bc4300]65
[752a9f5]66  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
67    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
68    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
69    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
70
[bad7f1a]71  + When opening a file, cavern has fallback handling if the file isn't found
72    to help people processing datasets from platforms with case-insensitive
73    file systems.  Previously cavern would fold the filename to lowercase and
74    retry.  Now if this fails, it will also try the lower case version but
75    with the initial character of the leaf in upper case, and finally folding
76    the whole specified filename to upper case.
77
78  + Dynamically pick a suitable level separator character and store it in .3d
79    file, instead of it being hard-coded to '.' (we still use '.' unless it
80    has been *set as a "name" character, or for Compass DAT/MAK files unless it
81    has been used in a station name).  This is a step towards addressing the
82    situations raised by Thomas Holder in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4
83    and https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/5 .
84
[9e62108]85  + Compass DAT files:
[e5e93f9]86
[bad7f1a]87    - The shot flag S is now understood to indicate a splay.
88
89    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
90      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
91      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
92      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
93      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
94      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
95
[9e62108]96    - Surveys which indicate a depth gauge was used for azimuth readings are
97      now marked as STYLE_DIVING in the 3d file.
[e5e93f9]98
[bad7f1a]99    - Compass and clino corrections are now implemented for backsights.
[e5e93f9]100
[9e62108]101    - The tape correction in Compass DAT files is now handled correctly.  The
102      specified value is in feet, but cavern was incorrectly treating it as
103      being in metres.
104
105    - We now handle the newer 15 character "FORMAT:" encoding.  Previously
106      cavern wouldn't detect when there were backsights in this case.
107
108    - We now treat survey date January 1st 1901 as "no date specified" since
109      this is the date Compass stores in this situation, and it seems very
110      unlikely to occur in real data.
111
112    - In Compass DAT files a dummy zero-length leg from a station to itself is
113      used to provide a place to specify LRUD for the start or end of a
114      traverse (depending if dimensions are measured at the from or to
115      station), and so we no longer issue a warning about equating a station to
116      itself for DAT files.
117
118  + Compass MAK files:
119
[bad7f1a]120    - The base location command is now understood.  This is how Compass
121      specifies a location to calculate magnetic declination at, and we
122      now handle this like Survex's native "*declination auto X Y Z".
123
[9d6646a]124    - Survex uses the specified UTM zone and datum provided the combination can
125      be expressed as an EPSG code (lack of any EPSG codes for a datum suggests
126      it's obsolete; lack of a code for a particular datum+zone combination
127      suggests the zone is outside of the defined area of use of the datum).
128      Example Compass files we've seen use "North American 1927" outside of
129      where it's defined for use, presumably because some users fail to change
130      the datum from Compass' default.  To enable reading such files we return
131      a PROJ4 string of the form "+proj=utm ..." for "North American 1927" and
132      "North American 1983" for UTM zones which don't have an EPSG code.
133      Please let us know if support for additional cases which aren't currently
134      supported would be useful to you.
[e5e93f9]135
[bad7f1a]136    - Folder commands are now understood.
[7bc4300]137
[bad7f1a]138    - Flag fixed stations as entrances.  Experimentation with Compass shows
139      this is how it treats them ("distance from entrance" in a .DAT file
140      counts from 0 at these points).
[9e62108]141
[bad7f1a]142  + We now support reading Compass CLP files.  These are very like DAT files,
143    except they contain loop-closed data.  You might find this useful if you
144    want to keep existing stations at the same adjusted positions Compass gave
145    (for example to be able to draw extensions on an existing drawn-up survey),
146    or if the original DAT file has been lost but you still have the CLP file.
[9e62108]147
[bad7f1a]148* aven:
[7bc4300]149
[bad7f1a]150  + Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
151    Philip Balister.
[7bc4300]152
[bad7f1a]153  + Split the filters for DAT and MAK files in the File->Open drop down list.
154    It seems more likely you'd want to see one type or the other, not both
155    together.
[7bc4300]156
[bad7f1a]157* aven/survexport:
[7bc4300]158
[bad7f1a]159  + Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
[b1c66e1]160
[bad7f1a]161  + .json,.kml: Enable export of surface legs.  Currently surface and
162    underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats when both
163    are enabled.
[7bc4300]164
[bad7f1a]165  + .3d: The coordinate system is now set.
166
167  + .svg: Equated stations now get their correct names in the id attribute
168    of <circle> tags.  Previously one of the names would be repeated for
169    all of a set of equated stations.
170
171  + .plt:
172
173    - Anonymous stations previously resulted in an empty name in the PLT
174      file.  This isn't explicitly disallowed by the PLT format description,
175      but Compass' viewer gives an error for such lines.  Now we invent names
176      by encoding the station coordinates which should be unique.
177
178    - The S shot flag is now set for splays, and the P shot flag (hide from
179      plotting) is set for surface legs (which matches the use suggested in the
180      Compass docs).
[e5e93f9]181
[752a9f5]182* img library:
183
184  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
185    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
186    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
187    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
188    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
189    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
190    default).
191
[9e62108]192  + Improve Compass PLT support (many of these are Compass features added
193    since Survex's support for Compass was originally added):
194
195    - Survey dates are now handled fully.  We treat survey date January 1st
196      1901 as "no date specified" since this is the date Compass stores in this
197      situation, and it seems very unlikely to occur in real data.
198
199    - LRUD data is now translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END.
200
201    - We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE for stations where the "Distance From
202      Entrance" field is present and zero.
203
204    - The shot flag L is now translated to img_FLAG_DUPLICATE.
205
206    - The shot flag S is now translated to img_FLAG_SPLAY.  A station at the
207      far end of a shot flagged S gets img_SFLAG_WALL set since the Compass PLT
208      format specification says:
209
210          The shot is a "splay" shot, which is a shot from a station to the
211          wall to define the passage shape.
212
213    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
214      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
215      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
216      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
217      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
218      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
219
220    - The d plot command is now supported (previously img failed to parse
221      PLT files using this command) - it's like D but implies the P shot flag.
222
223    - If a PLT file only uses one datum and it is "WGS 1984" then the UTM zone
224      is converted to the appropriate EPSG code and this is reported as the
225      coordinate system.  Other datums could be handled, but the mapping to
226      EPSG code is less simple.  Also it seems Compass supports at least
227      24 datums but it doesn't document all the strings it uses for them.
228      Files with multiple datums could be handled too, but we'd need to convert
229      coordinates to a common coordinate system in the img library, which would
230      need it to depend on PROJ.  Please let us know if support for more and/or
231      mixed datums would be useful to you.
232
233    - Duplicate img_LABEL items are no longer returned - this used to happen
234      for stations where more than two shots met within a single survey.
235
236    - We now infer img_SFLAG_EXPORTED for any station that appears in more
237      than one survey in the PLT file.
238
239    - We now set flag img_SFLAG_FIXED for any station which is listed as
240      a fixed point in the PLT file.
241
242    - If there's only one non-empty section name in a PLT file and we aren't
243      filtering by survey, we now report that section name as the title.  If
244      there are multiple different non-empty section names, we still report the
245      basename of the file as before.  If we're filtering by survey, we report
246      the comment for that survey as before.
247
248    - Fix bug handling PLT with omitted LRUD.  The format specification
249      documents that LRUD may be omitted, though it seems Compass never
250      actually omits it and at least some versions of Compass failed to handle
251      it being omitted too.
252
[bad7f1a]253* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
254
255* manual:
256
257  + Document Compass support in detail.
258
259  + Improve NATO mils example.
260
261* INSTALL:
262
263  + Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by Andrew
264    Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
265
266  + Document the requirement for a C99 compiler for building from source.
267    We made this a requirement in 1.4.2, but only noted it in NEWS.
268
269* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
270
271* Replace references to "libav" with "FFmpeg" since the libav project seems to
272  now be defunct, and we've always supported using either.
273
274* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros and drop
275  probes for features that we can safely assume now we require a C99 compiler
276  and workarounds for obsolete platforms.
277
278* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
279
[a30f7d0]280Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
[1a67f93]281
282* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
283
284* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
[a30f7d0]285  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
[1a67f93]286
287* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
288
289* Minor translation updates.
290
[269106c]291Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
292
293* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
294  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
295
296* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
297  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
298  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
299  checks that were rejecting this.
300
301  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
302  really do that's better than that.
303
304  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
305
306* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
307  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
308  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
309  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
310  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
311
312* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
313  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
314
315* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
316  bearing spin control.
317
318* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
319  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
320  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
321  currently but please report issues.
322
323* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
324  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
325  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
326  position".
327
328* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
329  Reported by echarlie
330
331* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
332
[fcf3d2e]333Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
[4c0900b]334
[4659b8a]335* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
[4c0900b]336
337* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
338  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
339
340* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
341  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
342
343* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
344  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
345
[4659b8a]346* Minor translation updates.
[4c0900b]347
[4659b8a]348* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
349  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
350  works on Wayland).
[4c0900b]351
352* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
353  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
354
[fcf3d2e]355* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
356
[4659b8a]357* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
358  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
359  Requested by Martin Budaj.
360
[a33237fd]361Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
[d2b22b1]362
363* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
364
365* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
366
[48d5a6f]367* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
368  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
369
[a33237fd]370* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
371  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
372  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
373  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
374
[48d5a6f]375* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
376  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
377  Patch from Thomas Holder.
378
379* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
380  string properly.
[d2b22b1]381
[a33237fd]382* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
383  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
384  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
385  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
386  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
387  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
388  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
389
390* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
391  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
392
393  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
394
[d2b22b1]395* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
396  where the included filename is actually specified.
397
398* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
399  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
400
[a33237fd]401* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
402  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
403  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
404
[48d5a6f]405* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
406  running on the Continuous Integration system.
407
[a33237fd]408* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
409  newer version of Innosetup.  Most notably, it now supports installing as a
[812a8d7]410  non-admin user.  This also means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the minimum
411  supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support anyway.
[a33237fd]412
413* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
414  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
415
[d2b22b1]416* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
417
[d8f00a9]418* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
419  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
420  inconvenience anyone.
421
[570b57d]422Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
423
424* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
425
426* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
427  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
428  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
429  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
430
431* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
432  in 1.4.0.
433
434* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
435
[67f9739]436Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
[3b69f29]437
438* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
[cccc545]439  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
440  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
441  Couwenberg.
[3b69f29]442
443  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
444  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
445  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
446  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
447
448  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
[e91c656]449  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
[3b69f29]450
451* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
452  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
453  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
454
455* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
456  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
457  strings is strongly discouraged.
458
459  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
460
461  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
462
[67f9739]463  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
464  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
[3b69f29]465
466* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
467  Green.
468
469* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
470  echarlie.
471
472* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
473  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
474  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
475
476* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
477
[67f9739]478* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
479
[3b69f29]480* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
481
482* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
483
484* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
485  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
486  stations not attached to a fixed point.
487
[738af38]488Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
489
490* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
491  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
492  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
493  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
494  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
495
496* aven:
497
498  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
499    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
500    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
501    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
502    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
503    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
504
505* testsuite:
506
507  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
508    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
509    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
510    process exits.
511
512* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
513
[38bc415]514Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
515
516* aven:
517
518  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
[f9de21a]519
520* cavern:
521
[66b477f]522  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
523
524  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
525    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
526    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
527
[f9de21a]528  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
529    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
530    until the next *data command with parameters.
531
532  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
533    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
534
535  * Improve test coverage.
536
537* survexport:
538
539  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
540    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
541
542  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
543    Batista.
544
545* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
546  Holder.
547
[66b477f]548* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
549  from Thomas Holder.
550
[f9de21a]551* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
552  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
553
554* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
555
556* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
557
558* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
559
560* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
561
562* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
563
[fe8a1b4]564Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
565
566* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
567  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
568  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
569
570* aven:
571
572  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
573    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
574    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
575
576  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
577    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
578    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
579    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
580
581  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
582    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
583    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
584
585  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
586
[040c02e]587Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
588
589* aven:
590
591  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
592
593  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
594    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
595    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
596
597  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
598    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
599    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
600    orientation.
601
602* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
603  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
604  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
605  Richard Knapp.
606
607* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
608  might still need to use them for.
609
610* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
611
612* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
613
614* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
615  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
616  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
617  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
618
619* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
620  is now the recommended approach.
621
[0957d63]622Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
623
624* aven:
625
626  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
627    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
628    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
629    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
630    Brian Clipstone.
631
632  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
633    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
634
[d034033]635Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
636
637* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
638  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
639  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
640
641* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
642  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
643  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
644  with some compilers.
645
646* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
647  installed.
648
[9fe70e44]649Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
650
651* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
652  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
653  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
654
655* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
656  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
657  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
658
659* aven:
660
661  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
662    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
663    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
664    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
665    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
666    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
667    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
668    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
669    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
670    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
671    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
672
673  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
674
675* Documentation:
676
677  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
678
679  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
680    placeholder.
681
682  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
683    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
684
685* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
686  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
687  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
688
689* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
690  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
691  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
692  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
693  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
694  location to avoid confusion.
695
696* Add a few more message translations.
697
698* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
699
[66b555d]700Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
701
702* cavern:
703
704  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
705    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
706    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
707    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
708    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
709
710  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
711    now reports "file not found" instead.
712
713  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
714    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
715    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
716
717* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
718
719* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
720  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
721  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
722  removed.
723
724* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
725  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
726  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
727  information.  Patch from James Begley.
728
[3147062]729Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
730
731* aven:
732
733  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
734    controllable.
735
736  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
737
738  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
739    Patch from Robert Jones.
740
741  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
742    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
743    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
744
[0482978]745  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
746    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
747
[3ed7da1]748* cavern:
[3147062]749
[3ed7da1]750  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
751    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
[3147062]752
[3ed7da1]753  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
754    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
755    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
756    go unnoticed.
[3147062]757
758* survexport:
759
760  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
761    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
762    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
763
764  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
765    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
766    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
767    Stephen Crabtree.
768
769* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
770
771* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
772  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
773
774* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
775  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
776  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
777  therion's team command.
778
[26ab0a7]779Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
780
781* aven:
782
783  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
784
785  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
786    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
787    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
788    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
789    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
790    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
791    for new entrances.
792
793  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
794    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
795    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
796    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
797
798  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
799
800  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
801    to show via the right-click menu.
802
803  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
804    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
805    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
806    child surveys of the parent.
807
808  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
809    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
810    survey.
811
812  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
813    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
814
815  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
816
817  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
818    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
819
820  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
821    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
822    filtering this matters more).
823
824* survexport:
825
826  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
827    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
828
829  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
830
831* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
832
833* Minor translation updates.
834
835* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
836
837* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
838
839* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
840
[facb636]841Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
842
843* aven:
844
845  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
846    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
847    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
848    on screen, printed and exported.
849
850  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
851    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
852    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
853    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
854    survey.
855
856  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
857    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
858    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
859    view.  Reported by Wookey.
860
861  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
862    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
863    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
864
865  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
866    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
867
868  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
869    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
870
871  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
872    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
873
874  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
875    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
876
877  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
878    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
879
880* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
881  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
882  tools could do, plus much more.
883
884* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
885
886* Minor updates to various other translations.
887
888* img library:
889
890  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
891
892  + Improve API documentation.
893
894* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
895  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
896  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
897
898* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
899  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
900  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
901  control what gets exported.
902
[5279c800]903Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
904
905* aven:
906
907  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
908    of 1.2.33.
909
910  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
911
[f057bc1]912Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
913
914* aven:
915
916  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
917    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
918    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
919    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
920
921  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
922    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
923    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
924    Erin Lynch.
925
926  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
927    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
928    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
929
930  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
931    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
932    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
933    unnecessarily.
934
935  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
936    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
937    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
938    for this control).
939
940  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
941    under GTK3.
942
943  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
944    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
945    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
946
947  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
948    current development version).
949
950  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
951    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
952    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
953
954* cavern:
955
956  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
957    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
958    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
959    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
960    "19".
961
962* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
963  Evaristo Quiroga.
964
965* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
966
967* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
968  milosch.
969
970* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
971  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
972  translated messages.
973
974* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
975  Indonesian and Polish.
976
977* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
978  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
979  Reported by Martin Sluka.
980
981* Fix a few compiler warnings.
982
983* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
984  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
985  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
986
987* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
988
989  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
990    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
991    but happens to fail if it isn't.
992
993  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
994
995  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
996
997  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
998
999* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
1000  detected at run time on macOS.
1001
1002* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
1003  by the homebrew formula.
1004
1005* buildmacosx.sh:
1006
1007  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
1008    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
1009
1010  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
1011
1012* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
1013  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
1014
[66576b6]1015Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
1016
1017* aven:
1018
1019  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
1020    and Anthony Day.
1021
1022  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
1023    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
1024    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1025    Erin Lynch in #89.
1026
1027  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
1028    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
1029    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
1030    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
1031    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
1032    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
1033    elevations.
1034
1035  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
1036    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
1037    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
1038
1039  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
1040    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
1041    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
1042    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
1043    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
1044    "on".
1045
1046  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
1047    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
1048
1049  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
1050    the display wouldn't update right away.
1051
1052* Manual:
1053
1054  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
1055
1056  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
1057
1058* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
1059  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
1060  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
1061  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
1062  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
1063
[28695f1]1064Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
[11c814b]1065
1066* aven:
1067
1068  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
1069    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
1070    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
1071
1072  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
1073    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
1074    before by others.
1075
1076  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
1077
1078  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
1079    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
1080    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
1081    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
1082    original change.
1083
[28695f1]1084  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
1085    which extends beyond the end of the line).
[11c814b]1086
1087  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
1088    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
1089
1090  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
1091
[28695f1]1092  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
[11c814b]1093
[28695f1]1094  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
1095    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
1096    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
1097    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
1098    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
1099    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
1100    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
[11c814b]1101
1102  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
1103    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
1104
[28695f1]1105  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
1106    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
1107    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
1108
1109  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
1110    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
1111    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
1112    much vertical range.
1113
1114  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
1115    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
1116    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
1117    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
1118    are drawn in this way.
1119
1120  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
1121    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
1122    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
1123    centre should be a single pixel.
[11c814b]1124
1125* cavern:
1126
[28695f1]1127  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
1128    entering passage data where there are side passages.
1129
1130  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
1131    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
1132
[11c814b]1133  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
1134    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
[28695f1]1135    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
1136    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
[11c814b]1137
1138  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
1139    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
1140    Reported by Erin Lynch.
1141
1142  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
1143    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
1144    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
1145    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
1146
1147  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
1148    other messages.
1149
[28695f1]1150* extend:
1151
1152  + Now runs a bit faster.
1153
1154  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
1155    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
1156    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
1157    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
1158    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
1159    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
1160    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
1161    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
1162    be handled better) most welcome.
1163
1164* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
1165
1166* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
1167
1168* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
1169  translations from therion.
1170
1171* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
1172  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
1173
[11c814b]1174* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
1175  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
1176  Footleg.
1177
[28695f1]1178* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
1179
1180* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
[11c814b]1181
[56b37f3]1182Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
1183
1184* aven:
1185
1186  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
1187    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1188
1189  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
1190    Suggested by detrito.
1191
1192  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
1193    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
1194
1195  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
1196    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
1197
1198* Add man page for dump3d.
1199
[d0418ac]1200Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
1201
1202* aven:
1203
1204  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
1205    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
1206
1207  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
[53c1e5d]1208    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
[d0418ac]1209
1210* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
1211  Lynch and "detrito".
1212
1213* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
1214  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
1215
[6897356]1216Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
[0d8f67a]1217
1218* cavern:
1219
1220  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
1221    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
1222    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
1223    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
1224    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
1225
1226  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
1227
1228  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
1229
1230  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
1231    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
1232    degrees).
[99b3298]1233
1234* aven:
1235
1236  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
1237    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
1238    Day.
1239
1240  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
1241    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1242
1243  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
1244    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
1245
[0d8f67a]1246  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
1247    of the line in cavern log window.
1248
[99b3298]1249  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1250
1251  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1252
[6897356]1253  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
1254    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
1255    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
1256    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
1257    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
1258
[0d8f67a]1259  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
1260    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
1261    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
1262
[99b3298]1263  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
1264
1265  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
1266
1267  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
1268    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
1269    Atkinson and myself.
1270
1271  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
1272
1273  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
1274    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
1275    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
1276    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
1277    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
1278    survey.
1279
1280  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
1281    lines on my netbook.
1282
1283  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
1284    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
1285    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
1286
[6897356]1287  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
1288    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
1289    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
1290    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
1291    glitches.
1292
1293  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
1294    we currently list, though slower to write.
1295
1296  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
1297    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
1298
1299  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
1300    warnings when building against a recent version.
1301
[99b3298]1302  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
1303    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
1304    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
1305    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
1306
[f55cbeb]1307  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
1308    movie export.
1309
1310  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
1311    export.
1312
[99b3298]1313* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1314  James Begley.
1315
[0d8f67a]1316* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
1317  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
1318
[99b3298]1319* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
1320
[7333c2c]1321* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
1322  messages get used automatically.
1323
1324* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
1325  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
1326
[0d8f67a]1327* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
1328
1329* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
1330
1331* Use https for more URLs which support it.
1332
[690fdab]1333Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
[dfe8d05]1334
1335* aven:
1336
1337  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
1338    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
1339    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
1340    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
1341    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
1342    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
1343    probably change in the future).
1344
[690fdab]1345  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
1346    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
1347    the survey tree root.
[dfe8d05]1348
[690fdab]1349  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
1350    the view was recentred).
[dfe8d05]1351
1352  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
1353    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
1354    wrong direction).
1355
1356  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
1357    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
1358    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
1359
[690fdab]1360  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
1361    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
1362    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
1363    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
[dfe8d05]1364
1365  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
1366    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
1367
[690fdab]1368  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
1369    addresses #60.
1370
1371  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
1372
1373  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
1374    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
1375    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
1376
1377  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
1378
1379  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
1380    360 or down past 0.
1381
1382  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
1383    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
1384    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
1385    real-valued ones.
[dfe8d05]1386
1387  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
1388    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
1389
[690fdab]1390  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
1391    Lynch.
[dfe8d05]1392
[690fdab]1393  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
1394
1395  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
1396    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
1397
1398  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
1399    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
1400    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
1401
1402  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
1403    should now work.
[dfe8d05]1404
1405* cavern:
1406
1407  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
1408
1409  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
1410    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
1411    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
1412
1413  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
1414    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
1415    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
1416
[3ca8ad2]1417  + Fix check for end of version number array in *require.  We would check up
[dfe8d05]1418    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
1419    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
1420    issue.
1421
1422  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
1423    by patch from Colin Watson.
1424
[690fdab]1425  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
1426
[dfe8d05]1427* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1428
1429* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
1430  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
1431
[690fdab]1432* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
1433  used in the same dataset.
1434
[dfe8d05]1435* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
1436  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
1437
1438* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
1439  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
1440  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
1441
1442* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
1443
[cd746b9]1444Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
1445
1446* aven:
1447
1448  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
1449    cavern again.
1450
[8ee50db]1451* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
1452  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
1453  location and use the same start menu folder.
1454
1455* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
1456  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
1457
1458* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
1459  by James Begley.
1460
[cd5cd8f]1461Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
[4e92bec]1462
[cd5cd8f]1463* aven:
[4e92bec]1464
[cd5cd8f]1465  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
1466    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
1467    to address.
[4e92bec]1468
[cd5cd8f]1469  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
1470    over the survey tree.
[4e92bec]1471
[cd5cd8f]1472  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
[4e92bec]1473
[cd5cd8f]1474  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
1475    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]1476
[cd5cd8f]1477  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
1478    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
1479    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
1480    encoded.
[4e92bec]1481
[cd5cd8f]1482  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
1483    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
1484    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
1485    terminals which do still support this.
[4e92bec]1486
[cd5cd8f]1487  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
1488    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
[4e92bec]1489
[cd5cd8f]1490* cavern:
[4e92bec]1491
[cd5cd8f]1492  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
1493    Edwards (see #78).
[4e92bec]1494
[cd5cd8f]1495  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
1496    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
1497    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
1498    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
[4e92bec]1499
[cd5cd8f]1500  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
1501    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
1502    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
[4e92bec]1503
[cd5cd8f]1504  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
1505    from Pete Smart (see #69).
[4e92bec]1506
[cd5cd8f]1507* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
1508  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
1509  Black.
[4e92bec]1510
[cd5cd8f]1511* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
[4e92bec]1512
[cd5cd8f]1513* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
1514  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
1515  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
1516  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
1517  Black.
[4e92bec]1518
[cd5cd8f]1519* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
1520  Black.
[4e92bec]1521
[cd5cd8f]1522* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
[4e92bec]1523
[cd5cd8f]1524* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
[4e92bec]1525
[cd5cd8f]1526* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]1527
[cd5cd8f]1528* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
[4e92bec]1529
[cd5cd8f]1530* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
[4e92bec]1531
[cd5cd8f]1532* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
1533  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
[4e92bec]1534
[cd5cd8f]1535* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
1536  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
1537  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
[4e92bec]1538
[cd5cd8f]1539* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
1540  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
1541  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
1542  privileges or not.
[4e92bec]1543
[52dad0e]1544Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
1545
1546* aven:
1547
1548  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
1549    Clipstone.
1550
1551  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
1552    Reported by Jenny Black.
1553
1554  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
1555    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
1556    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
1557
1558  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
1559    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
1560    messages.
1561
1562  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
1563    the terminal in 1.2.23.
1564
1565* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
1566  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
1567
1568* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
1569
1570* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
1571  by Wookey.
1572
[1ff33eb]1573Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
[1ed104f]1574
1575* aven:
1576
1577  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
1578    machines.
1579
1580  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
1581
1582  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
1583    already being processed.
1584
1585  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
1586    Reported by Martin Green.
1587
[d56a2d4]1588  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
1589
1590* cavern:
1591
1592  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
1593    find the original survey notes).
1594
1595  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
1596    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
1597    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
1598    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
1599    progress display to be useful.
[1ed104f]1600
1601* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
1602
[d56a2d4]1603* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
1604  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
1605
[1ed104f]1606* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
1607  running cavern.
1608
[53b6a5a]1609* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
1610  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
1611  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
1612
[7f7dbd5]1613Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
[d225571]1614
1615* aven:
1616
1617  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
1618    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
1619    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
1620    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
1621    finding this fix.
1622
1623* cavern:
1624
1625  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
1626
1627  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
1628    station.
1629
[7f7dbd5]1630  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
1631    *export.
1632
[2d865b7]1633Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
[31e9b72]1634
[03c259e]1635* aven:
1636
[2d865b7]1637  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
1638    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
1639    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
1640
[22f17f1]1641  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
1642
[03c259e]1643  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
1644    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
1645    does.
1646
[2d865b7]1647  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
1648    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
1649
1650  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
1651    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
1652
1653  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
1654    as appropriate.
1655
[03c259e]1656  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
1657    values on Windows.
1658
1659* cavern:
1660
[22f17f1]1661  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
1662    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
1663    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
1664
[2d865b7]1665  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
1666    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
1667
1668  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
1669    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
1670    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
[1687a13]1671    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
1672
1673  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
1674    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
1675    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
1676    Atkinson.
[2d865b7]1677
1678  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
1679    actual error rather than on a separate line.
[22f17f1]1680
[03c259e]1681  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
1682    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
1683    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
1684    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
1685
1686  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
1687    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
1688    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
1689
1690* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
1691  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
1692  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
1693  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
1694
1695* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
1696
[2d865b7]1697* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
1698  "*DECLINATION" command.
1699
[ab3b4a9]1700* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
1701  Reported by Jenny Black.
1702
1703* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
1704  documentation.
1705
[22f17f1]1706* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
1707  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
1708
1709* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
1710
[2d865b7]1711* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
1712
[7027ea1]1713Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
[0eaf4b1]1714
1715* aven:
1716
[6de8e942]1717  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
[31e9b72]1718    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
1719    the same or very similar by default.
[0eaf4b1]1720
1721  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
1722    Maynard.
1723
1724  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
1725
[7027ea1]1726  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
1727
1728  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
1729    away.
1730
1731  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
[6de8e942]1732
1733  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
1734    display it.
1735
1736* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
1737  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
1738  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
1739  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
1740
[0eaf4b1]1741* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
1742
1743* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
1744  before 1.2.19.
1745
1746* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
1747  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
1748
1749* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
1750
1751* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
1752  disk image.
1753
[6de8e942]1754* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
1755
[0eaf4b1]1756* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
1757  libav features we don't use.
1758
1759* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
1760  a load of libav features we don't use.
1761
1762* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
1763  message in the installer.
1764
[1dc99d1]1765Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
[f96ac93]1766
1767* aven:
1768
1769  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
1770    the exported file in 1.2.18.
1771
[2dac61e1]1772  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
1773
[4b67f71]1774  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
1775    exit full screen mode.
1776
1777  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
1778    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
1779    using since 1.2.7).
[2dac61e1]1780
[f96ac93]1781  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
1782    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
1783    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
1784    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
[2dac61e1]1785    St. Lawrence.
[f96ac93]1786
1787  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
1788    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
1789
1790  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
1791    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
1792    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
1793
1794  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
1795    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
1796    case like we do on other platforms.
1797
[739440f]1798  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
1799
[2dac61e1]1800  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
1801    support multi-monitor setups.
1802
[f96ac93]1803  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
1804    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
1805
[4b67f71]1806  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
1807    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
1808
[f96ac93]1809  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
1810    cases.
1811
[2dac61e1]1812  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
1813    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
1814    Erin Lynch)
1815
1816  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
1817    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
1818    items in in so it uses the full width.
[f96ac93]1819
1820  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
1821    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
1822    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
1823    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
1824    window.
1825
[2dac61e1]1826  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
1827    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
1828    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
1829    only relevant on the first ever run.
[f96ac93]1830
1831* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
1832
1833* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
1834  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
1835  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
1836  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
1837  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
1838  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
1839
[4b67f71]1840* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
1841  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
1842
[3f02aa4]1843Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
[2595419]1844
[4a8031f]1845* aven:
[a5670c7]1846
[4a8031f]1847  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
1848    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
1849    rendering it as a transparent surface.
[a5670c7]1850
[4a8031f]1851  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
1852    sanely want to perform from the menu.
[a5670c7]1853
[4a8031f]1854  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
1855    colouring options.
[a5670c7]1856
[4a8031f]1857  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
[a5670c7]1858
[4a8031f]1859  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
1860    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
1861    pressing "Escape".
[a5670c7]1862
[38e5701]1863  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
1864    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
1865
[4a8031f]1866  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
1867    exporting.
[a5670c7]1868
[38e5701]1869  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
1870
1871  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
1872    is quite likely to change.
1873
[4a8031f]1874  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
1875    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
[a5670c7]1876
[4a8031f]1877  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
1878    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
1879    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
1880
1881  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
1882
1883  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
1884    markers in orange.
1885
1886  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
1887    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
1888
1889  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
1890    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
1891    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
1892    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
1893    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
1894    them would be better.
1895
1896  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
1897    Gee.
1898
1899  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
1900    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
1901    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
1902
1903  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
1904
1905* cavern:
[0476b10]1906
[38e5701]1907  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
1908    susscorfa).
1909
[4a8031f]1910  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
[38e5701]1911    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
[4a8031f]1912
1913  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
1914
1915  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
1916    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
1917
1918  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
1919    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
1920
1921* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
1922
1923* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
1924  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
1925  in a modern desktop.
[a5670c7]1926
[dd65182]1927* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
1928  the filename in the error message.
1929
[4a8031f]1930* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
1931  most complete translations.
[dd65182]1932
[4a8031f]1933* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
[dd65182]1934
[4a8031f]1935* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
1936  lacks them.
[dd65182]1937
[4a8031f]1938* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
1939
1940* Manual:
1941
1942  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
1943    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
1944
1945  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
[dd65182]1946
[4a8031f]1947  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
[dd65182]1948
[4a8031f]1949  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
1950    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
1951    available for download.
1952
1953* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
1954  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
1955  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
[2595419]1956
[4a8031f]1957* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
[dd65182]1958
[3f02aa4]1959* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
1960
[1646310]1961Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
[a6064e2]1962
1963* MacOS X version:
1964
1965  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
1966
[e067870]1967  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
[9e053fc]1968
[e067870]1969  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
1970
1971  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
[9e053fc]1972
1973  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
1974    currently do this for us.
1975
[a6064e2]1976  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
1977
1978  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
1979
[9e053fc]1980  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
1981
1982  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
1983    OS X cursor.
1984
[e067870]1985  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
1986    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
1987    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
1988    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
1989    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
1990    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
1991    with TextEdit.app for example).
1992
1993  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
1994    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
1995
[a6064e2]1996  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
1997
[9e053fc]1998  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
1999    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
2000
2001  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
2002    Riggs.
2003
2004  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
2005    space.
2006
[4baea3a]2007  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
[9e053fc]2008
2009  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
2010    10.10.1.
2011
2012  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
2013    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
2014    errors.
2015
[4baea3a]2016  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
2017    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
2018    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
2019    wxWidgets build supports by default.
2020
[e067870]2021  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
2022
[a6064e2]2023* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
2024  treat as a single leg.
2025
[9e053fc]2026* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
2027
2028* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
2029
2030* aven:
2031
2032  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
2033    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
2034
2035  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
2036    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
2037    1:500).
2038
2039  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
2040    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
2041    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
2042    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
2043
2044  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
2045    there rather than the two animations fighting.
2046
2047  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
2048    fast.
2049
2050  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
2051    when rotating).
2052
[1646310]2053  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
2054    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
2055
2056* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
2057  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
2058
2059* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
2060
2061* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
2062
2063* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
2064
2065* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
[e067870]2066
[a6064e2]2067* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
2068  we're using git.
2069
[1646310]2070* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
2071
2072  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
2073    compass.
2074
2075  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
2076
2077  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
[a6064e2]2078
[03d0e8b]2079Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
[9aa10ad]2080
2081* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
2082
[f480117d]2083* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
2084
[9aa10ad]2085* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
2086
2087* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
2088  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
2089
2090* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
2091
2092* tests/: Improve test coverage.
2093
[7bd113b]2094* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
2095  Greek and Polish.
[9aa10ad]2096
2097* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
2098  by Martin Sluka.
2099
2100* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
2101  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
2102
[44f51ca]2103Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
2104
2105* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
2106  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
2107  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
2108  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
2109  for *cs has also been improved.
2110
2111* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
2112  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
2113  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
2114  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
2115
2116* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
2117  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
2118  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
2119  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
2120  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
2121
2122* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
2123  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
2124  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
2125
2126* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
2127
2128* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
2129
2130* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
2131  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
2132  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
2133
2134* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
2135  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
2136
[6a87cce]2137Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
[5c676e2]2138
[1efeb6d]2139* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
2140  system in use in 3d v8 files.
2141
2142* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
2143  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
[6a87cce]2144  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
2145  export dialog.
[1efeb6d]2146
[ea59b58]2147* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
2148  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
2149  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
2150  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
2151  rather than having one corner there.
2152
[26e7fa4]2153* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
2154  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
2155
[5c676e2]2156* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
2157  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
2158
[515b83e]2159* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
2160  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
2161  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
2162
[5c676e2]2163* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
2164  such as 64-bit Linux.
2165
[2c5ec88]2166* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
2167  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
2168
[5c676e2]2169* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
2170  64-bit platforms.
2171
[ea59b58]2172* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
2173  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
2174  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
2175
[2c5ec88]2176* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
2177  the space available in the aven UI.
2178
[1efeb6d]2179* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
2180  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
2181  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
[ea59b58]2182
[515b83e]2183* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
2184  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
2185
[6a87cce]2186* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
2187  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
2188  about unconnected surveys.
2189
2190* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
2191  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
2192
[67a0fc6]2193* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
2194  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
2195  freed memory.
2196
[1efeb6d]2197* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
2198
2199* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
2200
[2c5ec88]2201* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
2202
[5c676e2]2203* Fix a compiler warning.
2204
2205* Improve test coverage.
2206
[0d365be]2207Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
[acbb5b1]2208
[8ccd1d8]2209* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
2210  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
2211  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
2212
[acbb5b1]2213* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
2214  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
2215  Hugh St Lawrence.
2216
[0d365be]2217* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
[8ccd1d8]2218  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
2219  with using aven on a touch screen device.
2220
[acbb5b1]2221* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
2222  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
2223
2224* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
2225  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
2226
2227* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
2228  off and back on.
2229
2230* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
2231  up time a little.
2232
2233* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
2234  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
2235
2236* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
2237  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
2238  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
2239  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
2240  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
2241  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
2242  situation too.
2243
2244* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
2245  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
2246  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
2247
2248* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
2249
2250* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
2251
2252* Minor translation updates to French.
2253
2254* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
2255
2256* Testsuite improvements:
2257
2258  + Test that "..." anon station works.
2259
2260  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
2261    fail and give an error count.
2262
2263  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
2264
[ad727d8]2265Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
[46d12e9]2266
[63e8642]2267* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
2268  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
2269  Clipstone.
[46d12e9]2270
[ad727d8]2271* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
2272
2273* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
2274
2275  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
2276    overlap the scale bar ticks.
2277
2278  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
2279    clipping the border in print preview.
2280
2281  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
2282
[63e8642]2283* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
2284  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
[46d12e9]2285
[63e8642]2286* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
2287  available.
[46d12e9]2288
[ad727d8]2289* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
2290
2291* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
2292
2293* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
2294  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
2295
[63e8642]2296* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
2297  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
[46d12e9]2298
[63e8642]2299* Various translation updates.
[46d12e9]2300
[aac3336]2301Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
[fb941bfd]2302
2303* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
2304  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
2305
[aac3336]2306* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
2307  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
2308  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
2309  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
2310
[ad3017d]2311* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
2312  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
2313
[77bdacf]2314* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
2315  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
[ad3017d]2316
2317* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
2318  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
2319
2320* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
2321  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2322
2323* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
2324  box".
2325
2326* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
2327
2328* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
2329  indicators.
2330
2331* aven: All length units are now translatable.
2332
[fb941bfd]2333* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
2334  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
2335  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
2336
[ad3017d]2337* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
2338  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
2339  measurably slower.
2340
2341* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
2342  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
2343
[77bdacf]2344* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
2345  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
2346
[ad3017d]2347* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
2348  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
2349  from Therion and elsewhere.
2350
2351* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
2352  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
2353  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
[fb941bfd]2354
2355* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
2356  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
2357
2358* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
2359  A. Riggs for his work on this.
2360
2361* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
2362  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
2363
2364* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
2365
[ad3017d]2366* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
2367  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
2368  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
2369  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
2370  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
2371  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2372
2373* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
2374
[0ecf3b1]2375Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
2376
2377* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
2378  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
2379  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
2380  Clipstone.
2381
[53966d3]2382* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
2383  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
2384
[6f0d0d8]2385* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
2386  exported SVG files.
2387
2388* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
2389
2390* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
2391  file.
2392
2393* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
2394  GPX files.
2395
2396* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
2397
[0ecf3b1]2398* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
2399  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
2400
2401* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
2402  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
2403  on startup.
2404
2405* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
2406
2407* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
2408  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
2409  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
2410  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
2411  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
2412  other extensions.
2413
2414* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
2415  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
2416  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
2417  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
2418  timezone wrong.
2419
2420* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
2421
[6f0d0d8]2422* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
2423  'SURVEY DATE:'.
[0ecf3b1]2424
[6f0d0d8]2425* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
[0ecf3b1]2426
[6f0d0d8]2427* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
[0ecf3b1]2428
[53966d3]2429* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
2430  enabled.
2431
[6b6fb4d]2432Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
2433
2434* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
2435
2436* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
2437
2438* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
2439
2440* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
2441  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
2442  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
2443
2444* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
2445  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
2446  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
2447
2448* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
2449  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
2450
2451* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
2452
2453* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
2454
2455* Fix some compiler warnings.
2456
[e1f27c4]2457Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
[da65891]2458
2459* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
2460  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
2461  Holder.
2462
[e1f27c4]2463* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
[034141d]2464  statistics when the value gets large.
2465
[a4adf09]2466* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
2467  equations.
2468
[e1f27c4]2469* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
2470  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
2471  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
2472  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
2473  better when the "View" box is hidden.
2474
[0056ee1]2475* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
2476  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
2477
[e1f27c4]2478* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
2479  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
2480  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
2481  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
2482  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
2483  way is coming soon.
2484
2485* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
2486  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
2487
2488* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
2489  time ago, so update references.
2490
2491* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
2492  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2493
2494* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
2495  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
2496
2497* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
2498  Sebastian Ramacher.
2499
2500* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
2501
2502* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
2503
2504* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
2505
2506* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
2507
2508* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
2509
2510* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
2511  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
2512  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
2513
2514* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
2515
2516* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
[9fc1cac]2517
[88b54df6]2518* img library:
2519
[e1f27c4]2520  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
2521    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
2522    reading).
2523
2524  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
2525    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
2526
2527  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
2528    support these as an extension.
[88b54df6]2529
[f807d8bf]2530  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
2531
[e1f27c4]2532* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
2533  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
2534  itself has any translations for.
2535
2536* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
2537
2538* Minor translation updates.
2539
2540* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
2541
[e34bebc]2542Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
[65d9b6b]2543
[e34bebc]2544* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
2545  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
2546  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
2547  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
[a5c74f2]2548  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
2549  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
[e34bebc]2550  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
2551  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]2552
[e34bebc]2553* New version 8 of the 3d format:
[07beaa4]2554
[e34bebc]2555  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[07beaa4]2556
[e34bebc]2557  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
2558    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
[da9d788]2559
[e34bebc]2560  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
2561    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
[da9d788]2562
[e34bebc]2563  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
[da9d788]2564
[e34bebc]2565  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
2566    human-readable string.
[da9d788]2567
[e34bebc]2568  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
2569    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
[da9d788]2570
[e34bebc]2571* img library:
[da9d788]2572
[e34bebc]2573  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[da9d788]2574
[e34bebc]2575  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
2576    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
[da9d788]2577
[e34bebc]2578  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
2579    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
2580    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
2581    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
2582    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
2583    explicitly in the file.
[da9d788]2584
[e34bebc]2585  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
[da9d788]2586
[e34bebc]2587* aven:
[da9d788]2588
[e34bebc]2589  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
2590    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
2591    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
2592    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
2593    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
2594    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
[da9d788]2595
[e34bebc]2596  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
2597    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
2598    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
2599    queued up.
[da9d788]2600
[e34bebc]2601  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
2602    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
2603
2604  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
2605    them like other legs.
2606
2607  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
2608    station names to positions.
2609
2610  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
2611    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
2612    wrongly.
2613
2614  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
2615
2616  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
2617    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
2618    that's used by the desktop).
2619
2620  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
[07beaa4]2621
[e34bebc]2622  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
2623    error from cavern.
[07beaa4]2624
[e34bebc]2625  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
[da9d788]2626
[e34bebc]2627  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
2628    in the dialog in sync.
[da9d788]2629
[e34bebc]2630* cavern:
[3dfffa2]2631
[e34bebc]2632  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
2633    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
2634    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
[3dfffa2]2635
[e34bebc]2636  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
2637    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]2638
[e34bebc]2639  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
2640    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
2641    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
2642    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
2643    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
2644    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
2645    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
2646    degrees.
[da9d788]2647
[e34bebc]2648  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
2649    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
2650    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
[da9d788]2651
[e34bebc]2652  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
[da9d788]2653
[e34bebc]2654  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
2655    warnings.
[07beaa4]2656
[e34bebc]2657  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
2658    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
[07beaa4]2659
[e34bebc]2660  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
2661    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
[da9d788]2662
[e34bebc]2663  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
2664    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
2665    relevant.
[da9d788]2666
[e34bebc]2667  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
2668    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
2669    the same line.
[da9d788]2670
[e34bebc]2671  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
2672    "End of line not blank" error.
[7f6250a]2673
[e34bebc]2674  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
2675    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
[3dfffa2]2676
[e34bebc]2677  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
2678    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
[07beaa4]2679
[e34bebc]2680  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
2681    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
2682    include that character in the token reported.
[3dfffa2]2683
[e34bebc]2684  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
2685    first item.
[07beaa4]2686
[e34bebc]2687* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
[07beaa4]2688
[e34bebc]2689* dump3d:
[07beaa4]2690
[e34bebc]2691  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
2692    info from 3d files in scripts.
[07beaa4]2693
[e34bebc]2694  + Add --show-dates option.
[07beaa4]2695
[e34bebc]2696  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
[07beaa4]2697
[e34bebc]2698  + Report the data style of legs.
[da9d788]2699
[e34bebc]2700  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
2701
2702  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
[3dfffa2]2703
2704* Test suite:
2705
2706  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
2707    expected output so it passes reliably.
2708
[e34bebc]2709  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
2710    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
2711
[07beaa4]2712  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
2713    for more.
2714
[e34bebc]2715* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
2716  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
2717  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
[3dfffa2]2718
2719* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
2720  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
2721
2722* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
2723  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
2724
[e34bebc]2725* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
[665183c]2726  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
[e34bebc]2727  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
2728  settings.
2729
2730* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
2731  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
2732  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
2733  set correctly.
2734
2735* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
2736  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
2737  them to translate.
2738
[07beaa4]2739* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
2740  close to complete.
[3dfffa2]2741
2742* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
2743
[07beaa4]2744* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
2745
[e34bebc]2746* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
2747
[c575465]2748Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
[b081031]2749
2750* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
2751
2752* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
2753  package (ticket#35).
2754
2755* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
2756  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
2757  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
2758
2759* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
2760  Kahler.
2761
2762* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
[c575465]2763  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
2764  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
2765  libproj and build survex with:
2766
2767      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
2768      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
[b081031]2769
2770* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
2771
2772* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
2773
2774* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
2775  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
2776  file".
2777
[685116f]2778Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
2779
2780* aven:
2781
2782  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
2783
2784  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
2785    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
2786
2787  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
2788
2789  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
2790
2791  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
2792    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
2793
2794* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
2795  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
2796  error early on).
2797
2798* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
2799  the man page source as well as in the filename.
2800
[f15ca67f]2801Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
2802
2803* aven:
2804
2805  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
2806    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
2807    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
2808    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
2809
2810  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
2811    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
2812
2813  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
2814
2815  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
2816
2817  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
2818
2819* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
2820
[5b9942e]2821Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
2822
2823* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
2824
2825* (Mac OS X version):
2826
2827  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
2828
2829  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
2830
2831  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
2832    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
2833
2834  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
2835
2836* aven:
2837
2838  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
2839
2840  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
2841
2842    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
2843      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
2844      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
2845      character.
2846
2847    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
2848      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
2849      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
2850      and two in a few cases.
2851
2852    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
2853      8 pixels.
2854
2855  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
2856    draw crosses.
2857
[3ea0178]2858  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
2859    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
2860    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
2861    is the start or end of a tube.
2862
[5b9942e]2863  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
2864    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
2865
2866  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
2867    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
2868    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
2869
[3ea0178]2870* extend:
2871
2872  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
[5b9942e]2873
[3ea0178]2874  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
2875    which means "no info").
2876
2877* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
2878  was no longer used - it certainly is!
2879
2880* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
2881  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
2882  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
2883  current character set.
[5b9942e]2884
[3ea0178]2885* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
[5b9942e]2886
2887* Test suite:
2888
2889  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
2890
2891  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
2892
[94960ad]2893Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
2894
2895* aven:
2896
2897  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
2898    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
2899    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
2900    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
2901    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
2902    usable format.
2903
2904  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
2905    files.  (ticket#26)
2906
2907  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
2908    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
2909
[53f8a93]2910  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
2911    using lines.
2912
[94960ad]2913  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
2914    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
2915
2916  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
2917    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
2918    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
2919    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
2920
2921  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
2922    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
2923    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
2924
2925  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
2926    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
2927    in 1.2.1.
2928
[9704252]2929Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
[e3c58c3]2930
2931* Translation updates for US English.
2932
2933* aven:
2934
2935  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
2936    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
2937
2938  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
2939
2940  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
2941    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
2942    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
2943    visually similar to the survey legs.
2944
2945  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
2946    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
2947
[9704252]2948  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
2949    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
2950    does still provide some useful information).
2951
2952  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
2953    a depth band boundary.
[e3c58c3]2954
2955  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
[9704252]2956    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
2957    full-screen mode).
[e3c58c3]2958
2959  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
2960    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
2961    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
2962    are a little better, though still not perfect.
2963
2964  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
2965    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
2966
2967  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
2968    that station.
2969
2970  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
2971    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
2972
2973  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
2974    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
2975    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
[9704252]2976    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
2977    a case as it is a bug).
[e3c58c3]2978
[9704252]2979  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
2980    invalidated on window width or height changes.
[e3c58c3]2981
2982  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
2983    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
2984    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
2985    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
2986
[9704252]2987  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
2988    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
2989    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
2990    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
2991    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
2992    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
2993    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
[e3c58c3]2994
2995  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
2996    similarly for other compass points.
2997
2998  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
2999    info in the "About" dialog.
3000
3001  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
3002    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
3003
3004  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
3005    as well as still working with older versions.
3006
3007  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
3008    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
3009
3010  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
3011    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
3012    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
3013    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
3014    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
3015
3016  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
3017    nicer and make better use of the available space.
3018
3019  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
3020    dialog.
3021
3022  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
3023    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
3024
3025  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
3026    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
3027
[9704252]3028  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
3029
[e3c58c3]3030  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
3031
3032  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
3033    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
3034    being pressed and toggle full screen.
3035
3036* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
3037  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
3038
3039* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
3040
3041* More messages are now available to be translated.
3042
3043* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
3044  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
3045
3046* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
3047
3048* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
3049  sudo for installing on Unix.
3050
3051* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
3052  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
3053
3054* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
3055  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
3056
3057* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
3058
[120c1c6]3059Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
[b4ac7007]3060
3061* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
3062  English.
3063
[9cfcb3f]3064* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
3065  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
3066  case.
3067
3068* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
3069  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
3070  these into Survex's .msg format.
3071
[b4ac7007]3072* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
3073  an actual command).
3074
[9cfcb3f]3075* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
3076  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
3077  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
3078  recurrence of that).
3079
[b4ac7007]3080* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
3081  than /usr/doc/survex.
3082
3083* aven:
3084
[120c1c6]3085  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
3086
[9cfcb3f]3087  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
3088    nicer at larger sizes.
3089
[b4ac7007]3090  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
3091    with GLX >= 1.3.
3092
3093  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
3094
3095  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
[4095cc0]3096    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
3097    required libraries set up for building releases.
[b4ac7007]3098
3099  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
3100
3101  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
3102
3103  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
3104    rendered with icons on some platforms.
3105
[9cfcb3f]3106  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
3107    ISO8859-1).
3108
3109  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
3110    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
3111
3112  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
3113    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
3114
[b4ac7007]3115* cavern:
3116
3117  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
3118    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
3119    fatal error!
3120
[9cfcb3f]3121  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
3122    format to output.  (ticket#21)
3123
3124* img library:
3125
3126  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
3127    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
3128
[b4ac7007]3129* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
[120c1c6]3130  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
[b4ac7007]3131
[8f9b0b6d]3132Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]3133
3134* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
3135  Portuguese, and US English.
3136
3137* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]3138  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]3139
3140* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
3141  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
3142
3143* img.c:
3144
3145  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
3146
3147  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
3148
3149* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
3150
[8f9b0b6d]3151* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
3152  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
3153  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't

3155
[f5e3521]3156Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]3157
3158* aven:
3159
3160  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
3161    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
3162
3163  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
3164    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
3165    addresses ticket#12.
3166
3167  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
3168    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
3169    consistent shape.
3170
3171  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
3172    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
3173    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
3174    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
3175
3176  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
3177    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
3178
3179  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
3180
3181  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
3182    more places.
3183
3184  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]3185    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
3186
3187* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
3188
3189* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
3190  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
3191
3192* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]3193
3194* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
3195  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
3196  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
3197  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
3198  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
3199  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
3200
3201* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
3202  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
3203  redirecting to it.
3204
3205* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
3206  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
3207  I/O).
3208
3209* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
3210  headers.
3211
3212* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
3213
3214* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
3215  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
3216
3217* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
3218
[f9473ab]3219Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
3220
3221* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
3222
3223* aven:
3224
3225  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
3226    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
3227    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
3228    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
3229
3230  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
3231
3232  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
3233    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
3234    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
3235    a number.
3236
3237  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
3238    log window.
3239
3240  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
3241    various cases.
3242
3243  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
3244    (ticket#9)
3245
3246  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
3247    namespace with its own "Point" class.
3248
3249  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
3250    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
3251
3252  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
3253
3254  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
3255    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
3256
3257* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
3258  give them before.
3259
3260* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
3261  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
3262  point looking for them now.
3263
3264* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
3265  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
3266  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
3267  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
3268
3269* manual:
3270
3271  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
3272
3273  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
3274    (change taken from 1.0).
3275
3276* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
3277
[0bd49eb]3278Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]3279
3280* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
3281
[739b92c]3282* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]3283
3284* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]3285
3286* aven:
3287
[90d0d71]3288  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
3289
3290  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
3291    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
3292    seem to be Unicode now).
3293
3294  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
3295    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
3296
[e4bfd2f]3297  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
3298    text on the survey pane:
3299
3300    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
3301
3302    - Character spacing is improved.
3303
3304    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]3305
3306  + "About" dialog:
3307
3308    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
3309      bug reporting.
3310
3311    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
3312      modern gfx card.
3313
3314    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
3315
3316  + Processing .svx files:
3317
3318    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]3319
[739b92c]3320    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
3321      than opening a separate frame for it.
3322
[90d0d71]3323    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
3324
3325    - Fix small memory leak.
3326
3327  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
3328    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
3329    such a name.
3330
3331  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
3332
[e4bfd2f]3333  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
3334    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
3335    invocations.
3336
[90d0d71]3337  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
3338
3339  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
3340
[739b92c]3341  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
3342
[90d0d71]3343* Documentation:
3344
[e4bfd2f]3345  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
3346
3347  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
3348    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
3349    together isn't very useful.
3350
[90d0d71]3351  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
3352
3353  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
3354    the FSF website.
3355
3356  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
3357    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
3358    the source code.
3359
3360* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
3361  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]3362
[e4bfd2f]3363* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
3364  package from the source tarball.
3365
[739b92c]3366* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
3367  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
3368
[2e12f8c]3369Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]3370
3371* aven:
3372
[3db0798]3373  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
3374
[5940815]3375  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
3376
[6b2113d]3377  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
3378    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
3379    names/crosses).
3380
[920b066]3381Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
3382
3383* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
3384
[99d8798]3385* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
3386
[920b066]3387* aven:
[78c67a6]3388
[920b066]3389  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]3390
[920b066]3391  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]3392
[920b066]3393  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
3394    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]3395
[920b066]3396  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
3397    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]3398
[920b066]3399  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]3400
[920b066]3401  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
3402    depth colouring.
[99d8798]3403
[920b066]3404  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]3405
[920b066]3406  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]3407
[920b066]3408  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]3409
[920b066]3410  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]3411
[920b066]3412  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]3413
[920b066]3414  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]3415
[920b066]3416  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]3417
[920b066]3418  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]3419
[920b066]3420  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
3421    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]3422
[920b066]3423  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]3424
[920b066]3425  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
3426    default.
[99d8798]3427
[920b066]3428* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
3429  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]3430
[920b066]3431* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
3432  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]3433
[920b066]3434* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]3435
[920b066]3436* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]3437
[920b066]3438Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]3439
3440* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
3441  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
3442  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
3443  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
3444  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
3445
3446* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
3447  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
3448  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]3449
[ac3f376]3450* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
3451  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
3452  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
3453
3454* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
3455  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
3456  allowed).
3457
3458* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
3459
3460* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3461
3462* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3463
[920b066]3464Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]3465
3466* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
3467  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
3468
3469* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
3470  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
3471  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
3472
3473* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
3474  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
3475  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
3476  the new "*data passage" style.
3477
3478* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
3479  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
3480
3481* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
3482  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
3483  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
3484  some cases.
3485
3486* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
3487  with no survey loaded.
3488
3489* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
3490
3491* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
3492  loaded a survey.
3493
3494* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
3495
3496* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
3497
3498* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
3499  doesn't exist.
3500
3501* Updated French and Italian translations.
3502
3503* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]3504  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
3505
[6a2594be]3506* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
3507  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
3508  update their copy).
3509
3510* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
3511  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
3512  trying to compile).
3513
[920b066]3514Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]3515
[c988ae4]3516* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
3517  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
3518
[9577fcc]3519* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
3520  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
3521  has been disabled.
3522
[ecf2d23]3523* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
3524  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
3525  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
3526  time.
3527
[d1628e8e]3528* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
3529  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
3530  highlighted stations.
3531
[e67ed1b]3532* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
3533
[3ddd351]3534* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
3535  the tilt from plan to elevation.
3536
[c988ae4]3537* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
3538  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
3539
3540* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
3541  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
3542  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
3543
3544* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
3545  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
3546
3547* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
3548
[84f1ed1]3549* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
3550
[a884696]3551* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
3552
[9fe7af4f]3553* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
3554  run by an unprivileged user.
3555
3556* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
3557  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
3558  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
3559
3560* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
3561  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
3562
[cd39f67]3563* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
3564
[afffec4]3565* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]3566  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]3567
[38a192d]3568* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
3569  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
3570
[5892e08]3571* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
3572  if it isn't.
3573
[879e9c3]3574* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
3575  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
3576
[c8f929b]3577* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
3578  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
3579
3580* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
3581  reset to default view as well).
3582
3583* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
3584  empty.
3585
3586* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
3587  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
3588
[9ad92cc]3589* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]3590  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
3591  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]3592
3593* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
3594  and non-zero width lines.
3595
3596* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
3597  was turned on.
3598
3599* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
3600  not always being fully written.
3601
[920b066]3602Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]3603
3604* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
3605  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
3606  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
3607  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]3608
[8add4c9]3609* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
3610  with MS Windows).
3611
[9f524ee]3612* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
3613  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
3614  several surveys in the same directory).
3615
[185d793]3616* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]3617  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]3618
[3515947]3619* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
3620
[1235f9b]3621* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
3622  moved off a station.
3623
[4299674]3624* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]3625  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]3626
[60dbe70]3627* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
3628
[125c9ea]3629* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
3630  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
3631
[ec58e3d3]3632* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
3633  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
3634  dialogs.
3635
[8add4c9]3636* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
3637  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
3638
[6662d02]3639* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
3640  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]3641  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]3642
[b65c13f]3643* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
3644  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
3645  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
3646
[17cce5f]3647* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
3648  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
3649
[affaeee]3650* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
3651
[618b01f]3652* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
3653
[920b066]3654Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]3655
3656* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
3657  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
3658
[b88b171]3659* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
3660  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
3661  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
3662  3d file.
3663
[7e01c87]3664* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
3665
3666* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
3667
3668* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
3669  Instead turn off depth colouring.
3670
[8ea82aa]3671* aven: Export as HPGL added.
3672
[887c26e]3673* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
3674  Martin Green).
3675
[7c29c976]3676* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
3677  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
3678  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
3679
[7e01c87]3680* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]3681
[7e01c87]3682* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
3683  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
3684
3685* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
3686  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
3687  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
3688  of everything else.
3689
3690* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
3691  presentation icons.
3692
3693* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
3694  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]3695
[b46bf92]3696* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
3697
[796d7bf]3698* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
3699
[7e01c87]3700* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
3701
3702* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
3703
[b88b171]3704* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
3705  language to use for messages.
3706
[7c29c976]3707* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
3708  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
3709
[8ea82aa]3710* Removed old printer drivers.
3711
[7e01c87]3712* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
3713  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]3714
[920b066]3715Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]3716
3717* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
3718
[4ba80e0]3719* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
3720
3721* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
3722  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
3723
[95ce35f]3724* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
3725  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]3726
[95ce35f]3727* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
3728
[cd78148]3729* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
3730  underground legs is toggled.
3731
[f5627353]3732* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
3733  attached to the previous data.
3734
[dfe4a520]3735* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
3736  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
3737  them.
3738
[920b066]3739Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]3740
3741* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
3742
3743* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
3744  continental European countries).
3745
3746* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
3747  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
3748  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
3749
3750* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
3751
3752* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
3753  they're needed.
3754
3755* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
3756
3757* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
3758
3759* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
3760
3761* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
3762  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
3763  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
3764
3765* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
3766
[920b066]3767Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]3768
3769* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
3770
3771* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
3772
3773* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
3774
3775* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
3776
3777* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
3778
3779* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
3780
3781* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
3782  when there's a presentation loaded.
3783
3784* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
3785  in cave view.
3786
3787* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
3788
3789* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
3790  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
3791  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
3792
3793* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
3794  filename for file history and window title.
3795
3796* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
3797  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
3798  only needed with GTK1.2.
3799
3800* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
3801
3802* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
3803
3804* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
3805
3806* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
3807
3808Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]3809
3810* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
3811  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
3812  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
3813
3814* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
3815  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
3816
3817* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
3818  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
3819  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
3820  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]3821
[0e558e5]3822* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]3823
3824* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
3825  with --help and --version.
3826
3827* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
3828  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]3829  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]3830  Fixed all these problems.
3831
3832* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
3833  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
3834  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
3835
3836* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]3837  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
3838  sources.
[8faa5d8]3839
[0e558e5]3840* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]3841
3842* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
3843
3844* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
3845  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
3846
3847* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
3848  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
3849  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
3850  animating.
3851
3852* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
3853
3854* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
3855
3856* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
3857  to this branch.
3858
3859* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
3860
3861  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
3862
3863  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
3864
3865  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
3866
3867* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]3868
[8faa5d8]3869* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
3870  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
3871
3872* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
3873
3874* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]3875  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]3876
3877* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
3878
3879* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
3880  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
3881  for anyone building from CVS).
3882
3883* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
3884
[4855072]3885* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]3886
3887* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
3888
3889* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
3890
[0e558e5]3891* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
3892  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]3893  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
3894
3895* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
3896  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
3897
3898* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
3899
3900* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]3901  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
3902  loaded).
[8faa5d8]3903
3904* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
3905
[920b066]3906Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]3907
3908* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]3909  startup.
[a7aa27d9]3910
3911* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
3912  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
3913
[920b066]3914Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]3915
[91e416e]3916* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
3917  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
3918  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]3919
[91e416e]3920* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
3921  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
3922  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]3923
[91e416e]3924* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
3925  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
3926  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]3927
[91e416e]3928* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]3929
[0580c6a]3930* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
3931  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
3932
[4261983]3933* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
3934  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
3935
3936* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
3937  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]3938
[f80077a]3939* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]3940
[6abab84]3941* aven: Perspective view.
3942
[91e416e]3943* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]3944
[91e416e]3945* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
3946  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]3947
[1690fa9]3948* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
3949  and load/save/run them.
3950
[0580c6a]3951* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
3952
[045e2af]3953* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
3954
[c60062d]3955* aven: Depth fogging option.
3956
[0580c6a]3957* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
3958
3959* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
3960
[f433fda]3961* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
3962  showing the surface legs.
3963
[0580c6a]3964* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
