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