[269106c]1Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
2
3* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
4  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
5
6* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
7  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
8  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
9  checks that were rejecting this.
10
11  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
12  really do that's better than that.
13
14  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
15
16* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
17  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
18  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
19  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
20  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
21
22* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
23  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
24
25* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
26  bearing spin control.
27
28* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
29  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
30  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
31  currently but please report issues.
32
33* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
34  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
35  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
36  position".
37
38* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
39  Reported by echarlie
40
41* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
42
[fcf3d2e]43Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
[4c0900b]44
[4659b8a]45* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
[4c0900b]46
47* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
48  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
49
50* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
51  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
52
53* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
54  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
55
[4659b8a]56* Minor translation updates.
[4c0900b]57
[4659b8a]58* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
59  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
60  works on Wayland).
[4c0900b]61
62* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
63  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
64
[fcf3d2e]65* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
66
[4659b8a]67* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
68  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
69  Requested by Martin Budaj.
70
[a33237fd]71Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
[d2b22b1]72
73* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
74
75* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
76
[48d5a6f]77* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
78  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
79
[a33237fd]80* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
81  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
82  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
83  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
84
[48d5a6f]85* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
86  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
87  Patch from Thomas Holder.
88
89* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
90  string properly.
[d2b22b1]91
[a33237fd]92* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
93  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
94  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
95  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
96  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
97  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
98  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
99
100* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
101  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
102
103  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
104
[d2b22b1]105* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
106  where the included filename is actually specified.
107
108* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
109  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
110
[a33237fd]111* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
112  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
113  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
114
[48d5a6f]115* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
116  running on the Continuous Integration system.
117
[a33237fd]118* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
119  newer version of Innosetup.  Most notably, it now supports installing as a
[812a8d7]120  non-admin user.  This also means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the minimum
121  supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support anyway.
[a33237fd]122
123* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
124  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
125
[d2b22b1]126* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
127
[d8f00a9]128* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
129  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
130  inconvenience anyone.
131
[570b57d]132Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
133
134* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
135
136* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
137  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
138  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
139  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
140
141* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
142  in 1.4.0.
143
144* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
145
[67f9739]146Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
[3b69f29]147
148* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
[cccc545]149  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
150  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
151  Couwenberg.
[3b69f29]152
153  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
154  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
155  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
156  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
157
158  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
[e91c656]159  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
[3b69f29]160
161* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
162  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
163  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
164
165* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
166  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
167  strings is strongly discouraged.
168
169  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
170
171  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
172
[67f9739]173  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
174  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
[3b69f29]175
176* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
177  Green.
178
179* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
180  echarlie.
181
182* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
183  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
184  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
185
186* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
187
[67f9739]188* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
189
[3b69f29]190* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
191
192* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
193
194* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
195  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
196  stations not attached to a fixed point.
197
[738af38]198Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
199
200* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
201  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
202  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
203  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
204  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
205
206* aven:
207
208  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
209    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
210    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
211    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
212    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
213    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
214
215* testsuite:
216
217  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
218    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
219    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
220    process exits.
221
222* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
223
[38bc415]224Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
225
226* aven:
227
228  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
[f9de21a]229
230* cavern:
231
[66b477f]232  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
233
234  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
235    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
236    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
237
[f9de21a]238  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
239    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
240    until the next *data command with parameters.
241
242  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
243    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
244
245  * Improve test coverage.
246
247* survexport:
248
249  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
250    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
251
252  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
253    Batista.
254
255* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
256  Holder.
257
[66b477f]258* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
259  from Thomas Holder.
260
[f9de21a]261* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
262  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
263
264* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
265
266* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
267
268* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
269
270* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
271
272* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
273
[fe8a1b4]274Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
275
276* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
277  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
278  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
279
280* aven:
281
282  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
283    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
284    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
285
286  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
287    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
288    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
289    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
290
291  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
292    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
293    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
294
295  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
296
[040c02e]297Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
298
299* aven:
300
301  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
302
303  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
304    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
305    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
306
307  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
308    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
309    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
310    orientation.
311
312* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
313  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
314  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
315  Richard Knapp.
316
317* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
318  might still need to use them for.
319
320* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
321
322* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
323
324* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
325  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
326  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
327  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
328
329* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
330  is now the recommended approach.
331
[0957d63]332Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
333
334* aven:
335
336  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
337    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
338    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
339    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
340    Brian Clipstone.
341
342  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
343    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
344
[d034033]345Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
346
347* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
348  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
349  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
350
351* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
352  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
353  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
354  with some compilers.
355
356* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
357  installed.
358
[9fe70e44]359Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
360
361* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
362  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
363  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
364
365* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
366  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
367  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
368
369* aven:
370
371  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
372    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
373    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
374    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
375    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
376    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
377    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
378    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
379    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
380    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
381    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
382
383  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
384
385* Documentation:
386
387  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
388
389  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
390    placeholder.
391
392  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
393    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
394
395* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
396  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
397  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
398
399* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
400  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
401  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
402  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
403  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
404  location to avoid confusion.
405
406* Add a few more message translations.
407
408* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
409
[66b555d]410Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
411
412* cavern:
413
414  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
415    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
416    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
417    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
418    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
419
420  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
421    now reports "file not found" instead.
422
423  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
424    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
425    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
426
427* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
428
429* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
430  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
431  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
432  removed.
433
434* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
435  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
436  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
437  information.  Patch from James Begley.
438
[3147062]439Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
440
441* aven:
442
443  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
444    controllable.
445
446  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
447
448  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
449    Patch from Robert Jones.
450
451  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
452    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
453    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
454
[0482978]455  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
456    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
457
[3ed7da1]458* cavern:
[3147062]459
[3ed7da1]460  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
461    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
[3147062]462
[3ed7da1]463  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
464    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
465    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
466    go unnoticed.
[3147062]467
468* survexport:
469
470  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
471    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
472    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
473
474  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
475    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
476    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
477    Stephen Crabtree.
478
479* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
480
481* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
482  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
483
484* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
485  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
486  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
487  therion's team command.
488
[26ab0a7]489Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
490
491* aven:
492
493  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
494
495  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
496    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
497    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
498    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
499    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
500    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
501    for new entrances.
502
503  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
504    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
505    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
506    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
507
508  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
509
510  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
511    to show via the right-click menu.
512
513  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
514    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
515    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
516    child surveys of the parent.
517
518  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
519    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
520    survey.
521
522  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
523    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
524
525  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
526
527  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
528    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
529
530  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
531    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
532    filtering this matters more).
533
534* survexport:
535
536  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
537    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
538
539  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
540
541* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
542
543* Minor translation updates.
544
545* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
546
547* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
548
549* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
550
[facb636]551Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
552
553* aven:
554
555  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
556    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
557    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
558    on screen, printed and exported.
559
560  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
561    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
562    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
563    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
564    survey.
565
566  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
567    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
568    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
569    view.  Reported by Wookey.
570
571  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
572    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
573    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
574
575  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
576    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
577
578  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
579    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
580
581  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
582    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
583
584  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
585    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
586
587  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
588    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
589
590* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
591  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
592  tools could do, plus much more.
593
594* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
595
596* Minor updates to various other translations.
597
598* img library:
599
600  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
601
602  + Improve API documentation.
603
604* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
605  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
606  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
607
608* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
609  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
610  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
611  control what gets exported.
612
[5279c800]613Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
614
615* aven:
616
617  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
618    of 1.2.33.
619
620  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
621
[f057bc1]622Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
623
624* aven:
625
626  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
627    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
628    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
629    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
630
631  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
632    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
633    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
634    Erin Lynch.
635
636  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
637    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
638    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
639
640  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
641    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
642    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
643    unnecessarily.
644
645  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
646    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
647    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
648    for this control).
649
650  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
651    under GTK3.
652
653  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
654    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
655    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
656
657  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
658    current development version).
659
660  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
661    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
662    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
663
664* cavern:
665
666  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
667    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
668    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
669    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
670    "19".
671
672* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
673  Evaristo Quiroga.
674
675* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
676
677* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
678  milosch.
679
680* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
681  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
682  translated messages.
683
684* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
685  Indonesian and Polish.
686
687* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
688  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
689  Reported by Martin Sluka.
690
691* Fix a few compiler warnings.
692
693* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
694  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
695  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
696
697* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
698
699  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
700    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
701    but happens to fail if it isn't.
702
703  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
704
705  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
706
707  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
708
709* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
710  detected at run time on macOS.
711
712* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
713  by the homebrew formula.
714
715* buildmacosx.sh:
716
717  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
718    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
719
720  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
721
722* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
723  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
724
[66576b6]725Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
726
727* aven:
728
729  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
730    and Anthony Day.
731
732  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
733    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
734    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
735    Erin Lynch in #89.
736
737  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
738    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
739    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
740    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
741    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
742    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
743    elevations.
744
745  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
746    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
747    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
748
749  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
750    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
751    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
752    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
753    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
754    "on".
755
756  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
757    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
758
759  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
760    the display wouldn't update right away.
761
762* Manual:
763
764  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
765
766  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
767
768* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
769  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
770  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
771  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
772  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
773
[28695f1]774Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
[11c814b]775
776* aven:
777
778  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
779    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
780    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
781
782  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
783    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
784    before by others.
785
786  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
787
788  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
789    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
790    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
791    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
792    original change.
793
[28695f1]794  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
795    which extends beyond the end of the line).
[11c814b]796
797  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
798    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
799
800  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
801
[28695f1]802  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
[11c814b]803
[28695f1]804  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
805    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
806    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
807    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
808    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
809    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
810    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
[11c814b]811
812  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
813    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
814
[28695f1]815  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
816    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
817    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
818
819  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
820    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
821    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
822    much vertical range.
823
824  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
825    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
826    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
827    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
828    are drawn in this way.
829
830  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
831    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
832    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
833    centre should be a single pixel.
[11c814b]834
835* cavern:
836
[28695f1]837  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
838    entering passage data where there are side passages.
839
840  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
841    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
842
[11c814b]843  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
844    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
[28695f1]845    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
846    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
[11c814b]847
848  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
849    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
850    Reported by Erin Lynch.
851
852  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
853    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
854    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
855    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
856
857  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
858    other messages.
859
[28695f1]860* extend:
861
862  + Now runs a bit faster.
863
864  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
865    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
866    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
867    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
868    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
869    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
870    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
871    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
872    be handled better) most welcome.
873
874* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
875
876* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
877
878* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
879  translations from therion.
880
881* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
882  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
883
[11c814b]884* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
885  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
886  Footleg.
887
[28695f1]888* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
889
890* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
[11c814b]891
[56b37f3]892Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
893
894* aven:
895
896  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
897    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
898
899  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
900    Suggested by detrito.
901
902  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
903    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
904
905  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
906    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
907
908* Add man page for dump3d.
909
[d0418ac]910Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
911
912* aven:
913
914  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
915    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
916
917  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
[53c1e5d]918    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
[d0418ac]919
920* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
921  Lynch and "detrito".
922
923* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
924  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
925
[6897356]926Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
[0d8f67a]927
928* cavern:
929
930  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
931    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
932    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
933    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
934    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
935
936  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
937
938  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
939
940  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
941    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
942    degrees).
[99b3298]943
944* aven:
945
946  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
947    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
948    Day.
949
950  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
951    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
952
953  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
954    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
955
[0d8f67a]956  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
957    of the line in cavern log window.
958
[99b3298]959  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
960
961  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
962
[6897356]963  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
964    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
965    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
966    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
967    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
968
[0d8f67a]969  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
970    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
971    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
972
[99b3298]973  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
974
975  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
976
977  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
978    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
979    Atkinson and myself.
980
981  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
982
983  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
984    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
985    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
986    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
987    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
988    survey.
989
990  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
991    lines on my netbook.
992
993  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
994    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
995    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
996
[6897356]997  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
998    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
999    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
1000    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
1001    glitches.
1002
1003  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
1004    we currently list, though slower to write.
1005
1006  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
1007    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
1008
1009  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
1010    warnings when building against a recent version.
1011
[99b3298]1012  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
1013    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
1014    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
1015    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
1016
[f55cbeb]1017  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
1018    movie export.
1019
1020  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
1021    export.
1022
[99b3298]1023* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1024  James Begley.
1025
[0d8f67a]1026* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
1027  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
1028
[99b3298]1029* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
1030
[7333c2c]1031* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
1032  messages get used automatically.
1033
1034* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
1035  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
1036
[0d8f67a]1037* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
1038
1039* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
1040
1041* Use https for more URLs which support it.
1042
[690fdab]1043Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
[dfe8d05]1044
1045* aven:
1046
1047  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
1048    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
1049    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
1050    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
1051    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
1052    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
1053    probably change in the future).
1054
[690fdab]1055  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
1056    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
1057    the survey tree root.
[dfe8d05]1058
[690fdab]1059  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
1060    the view was recentred).
[dfe8d05]1061
1062  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
1063    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
1064    wrong direction).
1065
1066  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
1067    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
1068    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
1069
[690fdab]1070  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
1071    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
1072    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
1073    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
[dfe8d05]1074
1075  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
1076    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
1077
[690fdab]1078  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
1079    addresses #60.
1080
1081  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
1082
1083  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
1084    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
1085    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
1086
1087  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
1088
1089  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
1090    360 or down past 0.
1091
1092  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
1093    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
1094    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
1095    real-valued ones.
[dfe8d05]1096
1097  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
1098    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
1099
[690fdab]1100  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
1101    Lynch.
[dfe8d05]1102
[690fdab]1103  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
1104
1105  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
1106    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
1107
1108  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
1109    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
1110    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
1111
1112  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
1113    should now work.
[dfe8d05]1114
1115* cavern:
1116
1117  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
1118
1119  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
1120    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
1121    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
1122
1123  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
1124    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
1125    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
1126
1127  + Fix check for end of version number array in *required.   We would check up
1128    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
1129    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
1130    issue.
1131
1132  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
1133    by patch from Colin Watson.
1134
[690fdab]1135  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
1136
[dfe8d05]1137* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1138
1139* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
1140  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
1141
[690fdab]1142* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
1143  used in the same dataset.
1144
[dfe8d05]1145* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
1146  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
1147
1148* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
1149  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
1150  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
1151
1152* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
1153
[cd746b9]1154Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
1155
1156* aven:
1157
1158  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
1159    cavern again.
1160
[8ee50db]1161* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
1162  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
1163  location and use the same start menu folder.
1164
1165* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
1166  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
1167
1168* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
1169  by James Begley.
1170
[cd5cd8f]1171Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
[4e92bec]1172
[cd5cd8f]1173* aven:
[4e92bec]1174
[cd5cd8f]1175  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
1176    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
1177    to address.
[4e92bec]1178
[cd5cd8f]1179  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
1180    over the survey tree.
[4e92bec]1181
[cd5cd8f]1182  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
[4e92bec]1183
[cd5cd8f]1184  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
1185    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]1186
[cd5cd8f]1187  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
1188    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
1189    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
1190    encoded.
[4e92bec]1191
[cd5cd8f]1192  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
1193    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
1194    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
1195    terminals which do still support this.
[4e92bec]1196
[cd5cd8f]1197  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
1198    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
[4e92bec]1199
[cd5cd8f]1200* cavern:
[4e92bec]1201
[cd5cd8f]1202  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
1203    Edwards (see #78).
[4e92bec]1204
[cd5cd8f]1205  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
1206    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
1207    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
1208    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
[4e92bec]1209
[cd5cd8f]1210  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
1211    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
1212    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
[4e92bec]1213
[cd5cd8f]1214  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
1215    from Pete Smart (see #69).
[4e92bec]1216
[cd5cd8f]1217* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
1218  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
1219  Black.
[4e92bec]1220
[cd5cd8f]1221* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
[4e92bec]1222
[cd5cd8f]1223* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
1224  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
1225  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
1226  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
1227  Black.
[4e92bec]1228
[cd5cd8f]1229* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
1230  Black.
[4e92bec]1231
[cd5cd8f]1232* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
[4e92bec]1233
[cd5cd8f]1234* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
[4e92bec]1235
[cd5cd8f]1236* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]1237
[cd5cd8f]1238* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
[4e92bec]1239
[cd5cd8f]1240* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
[4e92bec]1241
[cd5cd8f]1242* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
1243  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
[4e92bec]1244
[cd5cd8f]1245* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
1246  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
1247  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
[4e92bec]1248
[cd5cd8f]1249* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
1250  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
1251  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
1252  privileges or not.
[4e92bec]1253
[52dad0e]1254Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
1255
1256* aven:
1257
1258  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
1259    Clipstone.
1260
1261  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
1262    Reported by Jenny Black.
1263
1264  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
1265    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
1266    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
1267
1268  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
1269    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
1270    messages.
1271
1272  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
1273    the terminal in 1.2.23.
1274
1275* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
1276  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
1277
1278* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
1279
1280* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
1281  by Wookey.
1282
[1ff33eb]1283Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
[1ed104f]1284
1285* aven:
1286
1287  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
1288    machines.
1289
1290  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
1291
1292  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
1293    already being processed.
1294
1295  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
1296    Reported by Martin Green.
1297
[d56a2d4]1298  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
1299
1300* cavern:
1301
1302  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
1303    find the original survey notes).
1304
1305  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
1306    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
1307    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
1308    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
1309    progress display to be useful.
[1ed104f]1310
1311* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
1312
[d56a2d4]1313* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
1314  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
1315
[1ed104f]1316* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
1317  running cavern.
1318
[53b6a5a]1319* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
1320  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
1321  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
1322
[7f7dbd5]1323Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
[d225571]1324
1325* aven:
1326
1327  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
1328    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
1329    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
1330    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
1331    finding this fix.
1332
1333* cavern:
1334
1335  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
1336
1337  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
1338    station.
1339
[7f7dbd5]1340  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
1341    *export.
1342
[2d865b7]1343Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
[31e9b72]1344
[03c259e]1345* aven:
1346
[2d865b7]1347  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
1348    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
1349    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
1350
[22f17f1]1351  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
1352
[03c259e]1353  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
1354    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
1355    does.
1356
[2d865b7]1357  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
1358    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
1359
1360  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
1361    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
1362
1363  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
1364    as appropriate.
1365
[03c259e]1366  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
1367    values on Windows.
1368
1369* cavern:
1370
[22f17f1]1371  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
1372    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
1373    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
1374
[2d865b7]1375  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
1376    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
1377
1378  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
1379    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
1380    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
[1687a13]1381    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
1382
1383  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
1384    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
1385    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
1386    Atkinson.
[2d865b7]1387
1388  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
1389    actual error rather than on a separate line.
[22f17f1]1390
[03c259e]1391  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
1392    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
1393    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
1394    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
1395
1396  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
1397    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
1398    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
1399
1400* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
1401  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
1402  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
1403  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
1404
1405* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
1406
[2d865b7]1407* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
1408  "*DECLINATION" command.
1409
[ab3b4a9]1410* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
1411  Reported by Jenny Black.
1412
1413* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
1414  documentation.
1415
[22f17f1]1416* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
1417  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
1418
1419* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
1420
[2d865b7]1421* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
1422
[7027ea1]1423Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
[0eaf4b1]1424
1425* aven:
1426
[6de8e942]1427  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
[31e9b72]1428    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
1429    the same or very similar by default.
[0eaf4b1]1430
1431  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
1432    Maynard.
1433
1434  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
1435
[7027ea1]1436  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
1437
1438  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
1439    away.
1440
1441  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
[6de8e942]1442
1443  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
1444    display it.
1445
1446* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
1447  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
1448  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
1449  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
1450
[0eaf4b1]1451* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
1452
1453* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
1454  before 1.2.19.
1455
1456* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
1457  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
1458
1459* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
1460
1461* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
1462  disk image.
1463
[6de8e942]1464* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
1465
[0eaf4b1]1466* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
1467  libav features we don't use.
1468
1469* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
1470  a load of libav features we don't use.
1471
1472* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
1473  message in the installer.
1474
[1dc99d1]1475Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
[f96ac93]1476
1477* aven:
1478
1479  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
1480    the exported file in 1.2.18.
1481
[2dac61e1]1482  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
1483
[4b67f71]1484  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
1485    exit full screen mode.
1486
1487  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
1488    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
1489    using since 1.2.7).
[2dac61e1]1490
[f96ac93]1491  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
1492    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
1493    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
1494    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
[2dac61e1]1495    St. Lawrence.
[f96ac93]1496
1497  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
1498    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
1499
1500  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
1501    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
1502    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
1503
1504  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
1505    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
1506    case like we do on other platforms.
1507
[739440f]1508  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
1509
[2dac61e1]1510  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
1511    support multi-monitor setups.
1512
[f96ac93]1513  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
1514    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
1515
[4b67f71]1516  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
1517    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
1518
[f96ac93]1519  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
1520    cases.
1521
[2dac61e1]1522  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
1523    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
1524    Erin Lynch)
1525
1526  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
1527    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
1528    items in in so it uses the full width.
[f96ac93]1529
1530  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
1531    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
1532    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
1533    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
1534    window.
1535
[2dac61e1]1536  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
1537    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
1538    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
1539    only relevant on the first ever run.
[f96ac93]1540
1541* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
1542
1543* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
1544  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
1545  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
1546  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
1547  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
1548  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
1549
[4b67f71]1550* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
1551  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
1552
[3f02aa4]1553Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
[2595419]1554
[4a8031f]1555* aven:
[a5670c7]1556
[4a8031f]1557  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
1558    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
1559    rendering it as a transparent surface.
[a5670c7]1560
[4a8031f]1561  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
1562    sanely want to perform from the menu.
[a5670c7]1563
[4a8031f]1564  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
1565    colouring options.
[a5670c7]1566
[4a8031f]1567  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
[a5670c7]1568
[4a8031f]1569  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
1570    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
1571    pressing "Escape".
[a5670c7]1572
[38e5701]1573  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
1574    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
1575
[4a8031f]1576  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
1577    exporting.
[a5670c7]1578
[38e5701]1579  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
1580
1581  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
1582    is quite likely to change.
1583
[4a8031f]1584  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
1585    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
[a5670c7]1586
[4a8031f]1587  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
1588    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
1589    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
1590
1591  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
1592
1593  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
1594    markers in orange.
1595
1596  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
1597    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
1598
1599  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
1600    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
1601    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
1602    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
1603    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
1604    them would be better.
1605
1606  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
1607    Gee.
1608
1609  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
1610    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
1611    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
1612
1613  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
1614
1615* cavern:
[0476b10]1616
[38e5701]1617  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
1618    susscorfa).
1619
[4a8031f]1620  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
[38e5701]1621    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
[4a8031f]1622
1623  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
1624
1625  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
1626    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
1627
1628  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
1629    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
1630
1631* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
1632
1633* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
1634  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
1635  in a modern desktop.
[a5670c7]1636
[dd65182]1637* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
1638  the filename in the error message.
1639
[4a8031f]1640* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
1641  most complete translations.
[dd65182]1642
[4a8031f]1643* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
[dd65182]1644
[4a8031f]1645* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
1646  lacks them.
[dd65182]1647
[4a8031f]1648* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
1649
1650* Manual:
1651
1652  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
1653    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
1654
1655  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
[dd65182]1656
[4a8031f]1657  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
[dd65182]1658
[4a8031f]1659  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
1660    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
1661    available for download.
1662
1663* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
1664  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
1665  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
[2595419]1666
[4a8031f]1667* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
[dd65182]1668
[3f02aa4]1669* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
1670
[1646310]1671Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
[a6064e2]1672
1673* MacOS X version:
1674
1675  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
1676
[e067870]1677  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
[9e053fc]1678
[e067870]1679  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
1680
1681  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
[9e053fc]1682
1683  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
1684    currently do this for us.
1685
[a6064e2]1686  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
1687
1688  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
1689
[9e053fc]1690  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
1691
1692  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
1693    OS X cursor.
1694
[e067870]1695  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
1696    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
1697    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
1698    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
1699    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
1700    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
1701    with TextEdit.app for example).
1702
1703  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
1704    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
1705
[a6064e2]1706  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
1707
[9e053fc]1708  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
1709    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
1710
1711  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
1712    Riggs.
1713
1714  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
1715    space.
1716
[4baea3a]1717  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
[9e053fc]1718
1719  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
1720    10.10.1.
1721
1722  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
1723    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
1724    errors.
1725
[4baea3a]1726  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
1727    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
1728    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
1729    wxWidgets build supports by default.
1730
[e067870]1731  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
1732
[a6064e2]1733* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
1734  treat as a single leg.
1735
[9e053fc]1736* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
1737
1738* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
1739
1740* aven:
1741
1742  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
1743    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
1744
1745  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
1746    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
1747    1:500).
1748
1749  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
1750    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
1751    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
1752    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
1753
1754  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
1755    there rather than the two animations fighting.
1756
1757  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
1758    fast.
1759
1760  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
1761    when rotating).
1762
[1646310]1763  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
1764    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
1765
1766* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
1767  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
1768
1769* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
1770
1771* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
1772
1773* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
1774
1775* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
[e067870]1776
[a6064e2]1777* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
1778  we're using git.
1779
[1646310]1780* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
1781
1782  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
1783    compass.
1784
1785  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
1786
1787  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
[a6064e2]1788
[03d0e8b]1789Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
[9aa10ad]1790
1791* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
1792
[f480117d]1793* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
1794
[9aa10ad]1795* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
1796
1797* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
1798  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
1799
1800* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
1801
1802* tests/: Improve test coverage.
1803
[7bd113b]1804* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
1805  Greek and Polish.
[9aa10ad]1806
1807* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
1808  by Martin Sluka.
1809
1810* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
1811  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1812
[44f51ca]1813Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
1814
1815* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
1816  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
1817  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
1818  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
1819  for *cs has also been improved.
1820
1821* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
1822  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
1823  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
1824  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
1825
1826* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
1827  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
1828  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
1829  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
1830  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
1831
1832* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
1833  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
1834  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
1835
1836* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
1837
1838* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
1839
1840* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
1841  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
1842  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
1843
1844* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
1845  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
1846
[6a87cce]1847Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
[5c676e2]1848
[1efeb6d]1849* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
1850  system in use in 3d v8 files.
1851
1852* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
1853  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
[6a87cce]1854  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
1855  export dialog.
[1efeb6d]1856
[ea59b58]1857* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
1858  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
1859  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
1860  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
1861  rather than having one corner there.
1862
[26e7fa4]1863* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
1864  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
1865
[5c676e2]1866* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
1867  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
1868
[515b83e]1869* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
1870  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
1871  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
1872
[5c676e2]1873* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
1874  such as 64-bit Linux.
1875
[2c5ec88]1876* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
1877  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
1878
[5c676e2]1879* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
1880  64-bit platforms.
1881
[ea59b58]1882* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
1883  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
1884  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
1885
[2c5ec88]1886* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
1887  the space available in the aven UI.
1888
[1efeb6d]1889* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
1890  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
1891  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
[ea59b58]1892
[515b83e]1893* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
1894  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
1895
[6a87cce]1896* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
1897  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
1898  about unconnected surveys.
1899
1900* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
1901  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
1902
[67a0fc6]1903* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
1904  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
1905  freed memory.
1906
[1efeb6d]1907* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
1908
1909* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
1910
[2c5ec88]1911* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
1912
[5c676e2]1913* Fix a compiler warning.
1914
1915* Improve test coverage.
1916
[0d365be]1917Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
[acbb5b1]1918
[8ccd1d8]1919* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
1920  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
1921  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
1922
[acbb5b1]1923* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
1924  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
1925  Hugh St Lawrence.
1926
[0d365be]1927* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
[8ccd1d8]1928  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
1929  with using aven on a touch screen device.
1930
[acbb5b1]1931* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
1932  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
1933
1934* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
1935  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
1936
1937* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
1938  off and back on.
1939
1940* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
1941  up time a little.
1942
1943* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
1944  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
1945
1946* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
1947  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
1948  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
1949  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
1950  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
1951  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
1952  situation too.
1953
1954* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
1955  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
1956  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
1957
1958* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
1959
1960* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
1961
1962* Minor translation updates to French.
1963
1964* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
1965
1966* Testsuite improvements:
1967
1968  + Test that "..." anon station works.
1969
1970  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
1971    fail and give an error count.
1972
1973  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
1974
[ad727d8]1975Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
[46d12e9]1976
[63e8642]1977* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
1978  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
1979  Clipstone.
[46d12e9]1980
[ad727d8]1981* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
1982
1983* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
1984
1985  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
1986    overlap the scale bar ticks.
1987
1988  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
1989    clipping the border in print preview.
1990
1991  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
1992
[63e8642]1993* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
1994  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
[46d12e9]1995
[63e8642]1996* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
1997  available.
[46d12e9]1998
[ad727d8]1999* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
2000
2001* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
2002
2003* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
2004  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
2005
[63e8642]2006* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
2007  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
[46d12e9]2008
[63e8642]2009* Various translation updates.
[46d12e9]2010
[aac3336]2011Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
[fb941bfd]2012
2013* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
2014  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
2015
[aac3336]2016* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
2017  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
2018  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
2019  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
2020
[ad3017d]2021* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
2022  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
2023
[77bdacf]2024* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
2025  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
[ad3017d]2026
2027* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
2028  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
2029
2030* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
2031  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2032
2033* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
2034  box".
2035
2036* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
2037
2038* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
2039  indicators.
2040
2041* aven: All length units are now translatable.
2042
[fb941bfd]2043* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
2044  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
2045  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
2046
[ad3017d]2047* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
2048  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
2049  measurably slower.
2050
2051* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
2052  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
2053
[77bdacf]2054* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
2055  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
2056
[ad3017d]2057* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
2058  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
2059  from Therion and elsewhere.
2060
2061* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
2062  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
2063  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
[fb941bfd]2064
2065* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
2066  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
2067
2068* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
2069  A. Riggs for his work on this.
2070
2071* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
2072  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
2073
2074* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
2075
[ad3017d]2076* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
2077  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
2078  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
2079  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
2080  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
2081  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2082
2083* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
2084
[0ecf3b1]2085Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
2086
2087* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
2088  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
2089  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
2090  Clipstone.
2091
[53966d3]2092* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
2093  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
2094
[6f0d0d8]2095* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
2096  exported SVG files.
2097
2098* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
2099
2100* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
2101  file.
2102
2103* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
2104  GPX files.
2105
2106* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
2107
[0ecf3b1]2108* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
2109  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
2110
2111* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
2112  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
2113  on startup.
2114
2115* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
2116
2117* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
2118  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
2119  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
2120  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
2121  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
2122  other extensions.
2123
2124* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
2125  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
2126  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
2127  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
2128  timezone wrong.
2129
2130* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
2131
[6f0d0d8]2132* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
2133  'SURVEY DATE:'.
[0ecf3b1]2134
[6f0d0d8]2135* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
[0ecf3b1]2136
[6f0d0d8]2137* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
[0ecf3b1]2138
[53966d3]2139* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
2140  enabled.
2141
[6b6fb4d]2142Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
2143
2144* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
2145
2146* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
2147
2148* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
2149
2150* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
2151  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
2152  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
2153
2154* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
2155  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
2156  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
2157
2158* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
2159  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
2160
2161* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
2162
2163* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
2164
2165* Fix some compiler warnings.
2166
[e1f27c4]2167Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
[da65891]2168
2169* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
2170  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
2171  Holder.
2172
[e1f27c4]2173* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
[034141d]2174  statistics when the value gets large.
2175
[a4adf09]2176* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
2177  equations.
2178
[e1f27c4]2179* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
2180  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
2181  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
2182  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
2183  better when the "View" box is hidden.
2184
[0056ee1]2185* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
2186  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
2187
[e1f27c4]2188* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
2189  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
2190  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
2191  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
2192  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
2193  way is coming soon.
2194
2195* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
2196  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
2197
2198* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
2199  time ago, so update references.
2200
2201* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
2202  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2203
2204* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
2205  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
2206
2207* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
2208  Sebastian Ramacher.
2209
2210* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
2211
2212* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
2213
2214* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
2215
2216* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
2217
2218* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
2219
2220* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
2221  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
2222  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
2223
2224* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
2225
2226* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
[9fc1cac]2227
[88b54df6]2228* img library:
2229
[e1f27c4]2230  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
2231    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
2232    reading).
2233
2234  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
2235    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
2236
2237  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
2238    support these as an extension.
[88b54df6]2239
[f807d8bf]2240  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
2241
[e1f27c4]2242* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
2243  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
2244  itself has any translations for.
2245
2246* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
2247
2248* Minor translation updates.
2249
2250* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
2251
[e34bebc]2252Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
[65d9b6b]2253
[e34bebc]2254* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
2255  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
2256  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
2257  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
[a5c74f2]2258  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
2259  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
[e34bebc]2260  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
2261  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]2262
[e34bebc]2263* New version 8 of the 3d format:
[07beaa4]2264
[e34bebc]2265  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[07beaa4]2266
[e34bebc]2267  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
2268    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
[da9d788]2269
[e34bebc]2270  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
2271    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
[da9d788]2272
[e34bebc]2273  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
[da9d788]2274
[e34bebc]2275  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
2276    human-readable string.
[da9d788]2277
[e34bebc]2278  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
2279    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
[da9d788]2280
[e34bebc]2281* img library:
[da9d788]2282
[e34bebc]2283  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[da9d788]2284
[e34bebc]2285  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
2286    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
[da9d788]2287
[e34bebc]2288  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
2289    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
2290    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
2291    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
2292    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
2293    explicitly in the file.
[da9d788]2294
[e34bebc]2295  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
[da9d788]2296
[e34bebc]2297* aven:
[da9d788]2298
[e34bebc]2299  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
2300    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
2301    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
2302    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
2303    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
2304    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
[da9d788]2305
[e34bebc]2306  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
2307    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
2308    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
2309    queued up.
[da9d788]2310
[e34bebc]2311  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
2312    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
2313
2314  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
2315    them like other legs.
2316
2317  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
2318    station names to positions.
2319
2320  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
2321    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
2322    wrongly.
2323
2324  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
2325
2326  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
2327    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
2328    that's used by the desktop).
2329
2330  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
[07beaa4]2331
[e34bebc]2332  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
2333    error from cavern.
[07beaa4]2334
[e34bebc]2335  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
[da9d788]2336
[e34bebc]2337  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
2338    in the dialog in sync.
[da9d788]2339
[e34bebc]2340* cavern:
[3dfffa2]2341
[e34bebc]2342  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
2343    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
2344    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
[3dfffa2]2345
[e34bebc]2346  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
2347    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]2348
[e34bebc]2349  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
2350    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
2351    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
2352    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
2353    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
2354    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
2355    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
2356    degrees.
[da9d788]2357
[e34bebc]2358  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
2359    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
2360    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
[da9d788]2361
[e34bebc]2362  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
[da9d788]2363
[e34bebc]2364  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
2365    warnings.
[07beaa4]2366
[e34bebc]2367  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
2368    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
[07beaa4]2369
[e34bebc]2370  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
2371    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
[da9d788]2372
[e34bebc]2373  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
2374    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
2375    relevant.
[da9d788]2376
[e34bebc]2377  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
2378    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
2379    the same line.
[da9d788]2380
[e34bebc]2381  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
2382    "End of line not blank" error.
[7f6250a]2383
[e34bebc]2384  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
2385    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
[3dfffa2]2386
[e34bebc]2387  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
2388    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
[07beaa4]2389
[e34bebc]2390  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
2391    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
2392    include that character in the token reported.
[3dfffa2]2393
[e34bebc]2394  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
2395    first item.
[07beaa4]2396
[e34bebc]2397* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
[07beaa4]2398
[e34bebc]2399* dump3d:
[07beaa4]2400
[e34bebc]2401  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
2402    info from 3d files in scripts.
[07beaa4]2403
[e34bebc]2404  + Add --show-dates option.
[07beaa4]2405
[e34bebc]2406  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
[07beaa4]2407
[e34bebc]2408  + Report the data style of legs.
[da9d788]2409
[e34bebc]2410  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
2411
2412  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
[3dfffa2]2413
2414* Test suite:
2415
2416  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
2417    expected output so it passes reliably.
2418
[e34bebc]2419  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
2420    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
2421
[07beaa4]2422  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
2423    for more.
2424
[e34bebc]2425* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
2426  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
2427  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
[3dfffa2]2428
2429* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
2430  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
2431
2432* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
2433  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
2434
[e34bebc]2435* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
[665183c]2436  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
[e34bebc]2437  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
2438  settings.
2439
2440* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
2441  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
2442  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
2443  set correctly.
2444
2445* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
2446  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
2447  them to translate.
2448
[07beaa4]2449* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
2450  close to complete.
[3dfffa2]2451
2452* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
2453
[07beaa4]2454* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
2455
[e34bebc]2456* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
2457
[c575465]2458Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
[b081031]2459
2460* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
2461
2462* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
2463  package (ticket#35).
2464
2465* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
2466  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
2467  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
2468
2469* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
2470  Kahler.
2471
2472* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
[c575465]2473  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
2474  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
2475  libproj and build survex with:
2476
2477      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
2478      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
[b081031]2479
2480* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
2481
2482* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
2483
2484* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
2485  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
2486  file".
2487
[685116f]2488Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
2489
2490* aven:
2491
2492  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
2493
2494  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
2495    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
2496
2497  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
2498
2499  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
2500
2501  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
2502    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
2503
2504* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
2505  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
2506  error early on).
2507
2508* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
2509  the man page source as well as in the filename.
2510
[f15ca67f]2511Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
2512
2513* aven:
2514
2515  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
2516    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
2517    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
2518    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
2519
2520  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
2521    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
2522
2523  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
2524
2525  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
2526
2527  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
2528
2529* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
2530
[5b9942e]2531Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
2532
2533* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
2534
2535* (Mac OS X version):
2536
2537  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
2538
2539  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
2540
2541  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
2542    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
2543
2544  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
2545
2546* aven:
2547
2548  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
2549
2550  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
2551
2552    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
2553      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
2554      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
2555      character.
2556
2557    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
2558      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
2559      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
2560      and two in a few cases.
2561
2562    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
2563      8 pixels.
2564
2565  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
2566    draw crosses.
2567
[3ea0178]2568  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
2569    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
2570    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
2571    is the start or end of a tube.
2572
[5b9942e]2573  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
2574    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
2575
2576  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
2577    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
2578    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
2579
[3ea0178]2580* extend:
2581
2582  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
[5b9942e]2583
[3ea0178]2584  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
2585    which means "no info").
2586
2587* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
2588  was no longer used - it certainly is!
2589
2590* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
2591  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
2592  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
2593  current character set.
[5b9942e]2594
[3ea0178]2595* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
[5b9942e]2596
2597* Test suite:
2598
2599  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
2600
2601  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
2602
[94960ad]2603Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
2604
2605* aven:
2606
2607  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
2608    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
2609    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
2610    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
2611    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
2612    usable format.
2613
2614  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
2615    files.  (ticket#26)
2616
2617  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
2618    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
2619
[53f8a93]2620  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
2621    using lines.
2622
[94960ad]2623  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
2624    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
2625
2626  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
2627    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
2628    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
2629    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
2630
2631  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
2632    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
2633    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
2634
2635  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
2636    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
2637    in 1.2.1.
2638
[9704252]2639Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
[e3c58c3]2640
2641* Translation updates for US English.
2642
2643* aven:
2644
2645  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
2646    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
2647
2648  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
2649
2650  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
2651    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
2652    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
2653    visually similar to the survey legs.
2654
2655  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
2656    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
2657
[9704252]2658  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
2659    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
2660    does still provide some useful information).
2661
2662  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
2663    a depth band boundary.
[e3c58c3]2664
2665  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
[9704252]2666    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
2667    full-screen mode).
[e3c58c3]2668
2669  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
2670    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
2671    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
2672    are a little better, though still not perfect.
2673
2674  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
2675    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
2676
2677  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
2678    that station.
2679
2680  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
2681    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
2682
2683  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
2684    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
2685    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
[9704252]2686    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
2687    a case as it is a bug).
[e3c58c3]2688
[9704252]2689  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
2690    invalidated on window width or height changes.
[e3c58c3]2691
2692  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
2693    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
2694    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
2695    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
2696
[9704252]2697  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
2698    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
2699    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
2700    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
2701    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
2702    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
2703    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
[e3c58c3]2704
2705  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
2706    similarly for other compass points.
2707
2708  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
2709    info in the "About" dialog.
2710
2711  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
2712    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
2713
2714  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
2715    as well as still working with older versions.
2716
2717  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
2718    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
2719
2720  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
2721    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
2722    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
2723    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
2724    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
2725
2726  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
2727    nicer and make better use of the available space.
2728
2729  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
2730    dialog.
2731
2732  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
2733    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
2734
2735  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
2736    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
2737
[9704252]2738  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
2739
[e3c58c3]2740  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
2741
2742  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
2743    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
2744    being pressed and toggle full screen.
2745
2746* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
2747  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
2748
2749* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
2750
2751* More messages are now available to be translated.
2752
2753* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
2754  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
2755
2756* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
2757
2758* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
2759  sudo for installing on Unix.
2760
2761* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
2762  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
2763
2764* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
2765  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
2766
2767* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2768
[120c1c6]2769Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
[b4ac7007]2770
2771* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
2772  English.
2773
[9cfcb3f]2774* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
2775  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
2776  case.
2777
2778* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
2779  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
2780  these into Survex's .msg format.
2781
[b4ac7007]2782* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
2783  an actual command).
2784
[9cfcb3f]2785* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
2786  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
2787  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
2788  recurrence of that).
2789
[b4ac7007]2790* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
2791  than /usr/doc/survex.
2792
2793* aven:
2794
[120c1c6]2795  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
2796
[9cfcb3f]2797  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
2798    nicer at larger sizes.
2799
[b4ac7007]2800  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
2801    with GLX >= 1.3.
2802
2803  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
2804
2805  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
[4095cc0]2806    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
2807    required libraries set up for building releases.
[b4ac7007]2808
2809  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
2810
2811  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
2812
2813  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
2814    rendered with icons on some platforms.
2815
[9cfcb3f]2816  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
2817    ISO8859-1).
2818
2819  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
2820    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
2821
2822  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
2823    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
2824
[b4ac7007]2825* cavern:
2826
2827  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
2828    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
2829    fatal error!
2830
[9cfcb3f]2831  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
2832    format to output.  (ticket#21)
2833
2834* img library:
2835
2836  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
2837    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
2838
[b4ac7007]2839* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
[120c1c6]2840  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
[b4ac7007]2841
[8f9b0b6d]2842Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]2843
2844* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
2845  Portuguese, and US English.
2846
2847* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]2848  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]2849
2850* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
2851  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
2852
2853* img.c:
2854
2855  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
2856
2857  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
2858
2859* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
2860
[8f9b0b6d]2861* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
2862  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
2863  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
2864  translated.
2865
[f5e3521]2866Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]2867
2868* aven:
2869
2870  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
2871    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
2872
2873  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
2874    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
2875    addresses ticket#12.
2876
2877  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
2878    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
2879    consistent shape.
2880
2881  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
2882    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
2883    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
2884    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
2885
2886  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
2887    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
2888
2889  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
2890
2891  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
2892    more places.
2893
2894  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]2895    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
2896
2897* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
2898
2899* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
2900  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
2901
2902* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]2903
2904* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
2905  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
2906  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
2907  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
2908  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
2909  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
2910
2911* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
2912  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
2913  redirecting to it.
2914
2915* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
2916  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
2917  I/O).
2918
2919* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
2920  headers.
2921
2922* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
2923
2924* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
2925  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
2926
2927* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
2928
[f9473ab]2929Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
2930
2931* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
2932
2933* aven:
2934
2935  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
2936    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
2937    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
2938    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
2939
2940  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
2941
2942  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
2943    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
2944    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
2945    a number.
2946
2947  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
2948    log window.
2949
2950  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
2951    various cases.
2952
2953  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
2954    (ticket#9)
2955
2956  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
2957    namespace with its own "Point" class.
2958
2959  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
2960    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
2961
2962  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
2963
2964  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
2965    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
2966
2967* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
2968  give them before.
2969
2970* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
2971  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
2972  point looking for them now.
2973
2974* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
2975  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
2976  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
2977  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
2978
2979* manual:
2980
2981  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
2982
2983  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
2984    (change taken from 1.0).
2985
2986* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
2987
[0bd49eb]2988Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]2989
2990* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
2991
[739b92c]2992* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]2993
2994* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]2995
2996* aven:
2997
[90d0d71]2998  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
2999
3000  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
3001    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
3002    seem to be Unicode now).
3003
3004  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
3005    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
3006
[e4bfd2f]3007  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
3008    text on the survey pane:
3009
3010    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
3011
3012    - Character spacing is improved.
3013
3014    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]3015
3016  + "About" dialog:
3017
3018    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
3019      bug reporting.
3020
3021    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
3022      modern gfx card.
3023
3024    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
3025
3026  + Processing .svx files:
3027
3028    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]3029
[739b92c]3030    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
3031      than opening a separate frame for it.
3032
[90d0d71]3033    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
3034
3035    - Fix small memory leak.
3036
3037  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
3038    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
3039    such a name.
3040
3041  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
3042
[e4bfd2f]3043  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
3044    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
3045    invocations.
3046
[90d0d71]3047  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
3048
3049  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
3050
[739b92c]3051  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
3052
[90d0d71]3053* Documentation:
3054
[e4bfd2f]3055  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
3056
3057  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
3058    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
3059    together isn't very useful.
3060
[90d0d71]3061  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
3062
3063  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
3064    the FSF website.
3065
3066  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
3067    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
3068    the source code.
3069
3070* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
3071  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]3072
[e4bfd2f]3073* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
3074  package from the source tarball.
3075
[739b92c]3076* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
3077  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
3078
[2e12f8c]3079Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]3080
3081* aven:
3082
[3db0798]3083  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
3084
[5940815]3085  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
3086
[6b2113d]3087  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
3088    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
3089    names/crosses).
3090
[920b066]3091Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
3092
3093* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
3094
[99d8798]3095* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
3096
[920b066]3097* aven:
[78c67a6]3098
[920b066]3099  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]3100
[920b066]3101  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]3102
[920b066]3103  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
3104    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]3105
[920b066]3106  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
3107    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]3108
[920b066]3109  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]3110
[920b066]3111  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
3112    depth colouring.
[99d8798]3113
[920b066]3114  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]3115
[920b066]3116  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]3117
[920b066]3118  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]3119
[920b066]3120  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]3121
[920b066]3122  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]3123
[920b066]3124  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]3125
[920b066]3126  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]3127
[920b066]3128  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]3129
[920b066]3130  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
3131    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]3132
[920b066]3133  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]3134
[920b066]3135  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
3136    default.
[99d8798]3137
[920b066]3138* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
3139  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]3140
[920b066]3141* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
3142  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]3143
[920b066]3144* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]3145
[920b066]3146* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]3147
[920b066]3148Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]3149
3150* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
3151  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
3152  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
3153  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
3154  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
3155
3156* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
3157  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
3158  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]3159
[ac3f376]3160* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
3161  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
3162  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
3163
3164* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
3165  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
3166  allowed).
3167
3168* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
3169
3170* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3171
3172* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3173
[920b066]3174Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]3175
3176* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
3177  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
3178
3179* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
3180  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
3181  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
3182
3183* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
3184  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
3185  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
3186  the new "*data passage" style.
3187
3188* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
3189  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
3190
3191* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
3192  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
3193  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
3194  some cases.
3195
3196* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
3197  with no survey loaded.
3198
3199* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
3200
3201* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
3202  loaded a survey.
3203
3204* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
3205
3206* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
3207
3208* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
3209  doesn't exist.
3210
3211* Updated French and Italian translations.
3212
3213* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]3214  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
3215
[6a2594be]3216* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
3217  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
3218  update their copy).
3219
3220* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
3221  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
3222  trying to compile).
3223
[920b066]3224Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]3225
[c988ae4]3226* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
3227  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
3228
[9577fcc]3229* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
3230  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
3231  has been disabled.
3232
[ecf2d23]3233* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
3234  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
3235  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
3236  time.
3237
[d1628e8e]3238* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
3239  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
3240  highlighted stations.
3241
[e67ed1b]3242* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
3243
[3ddd351]3244* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
3245  the tilt from plan to elevation.
3246
[c988ae4]3247* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
3248  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
3249
3250* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
3251  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
3252  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
3253
3254* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
3255  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
3256
3257* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
3258
[84f1ed1]3259* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
3260
[a884696]3261* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
3262
[9fe7af4f]3263* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
3264  run by an unprivileged user.
3265
3266* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
3267  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
3268  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
3269
3270* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
3271  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
3272
[cd39f67]3273* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
3274
[afffec4]3275* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]3276  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]3277
[38a192d]3278* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
3279  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
3280
[5892e08]3281* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
3282  if it isn't.
3283
[879e9c3]3284* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
3285  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
3286
[c8f929b]3287* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
3288  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
3289
3290* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
3291  reset to default view as well).
3292
3293* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
3294  empty.
3295
3296* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
3297  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
3298
[9ad92cc]3299* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]3300  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
3301  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]3302
3303* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
3304  and non-zero width lines.
3305
3306* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
3307  was turned on.
3308
3309* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
3310  not always being fully written.
3311
[920b066]3312Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]3313
3314* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
3315  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
3316  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
3317  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]3318
[8add4c9]3319* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
3320  with MS Windows).
3321
[9f524ee]3322* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
3323  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
3324  several surveys in the same directory).
3325
[185d793]3326* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]3327  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]3328
[3515947]3329* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
3330
[1235f9b]3331* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
3332  moved off a station.
3333
[4299674]3334* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]3335  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]3336
[60dbe70]3337* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
3338
[125c9ea]3339* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
3340  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
3341
[ec58e3d3]3342* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
3343  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
3344  dialogs.
3345
[8add4c9]3346* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
3347  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
3348
[6662d02]3349* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
3350  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]3351  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]3352
[b65c13f]3353* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
3354  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
3355  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
3356
[17cce5f]3357* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
3358  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
3359
[affaeee]3360* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
3361
[618b01f]3362* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
3363
[920b066]3364Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]3365
3366* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
3367  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
3368
[b88b171]3369* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
3370  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
3371  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
3372  3d file.
3373
[7e01c87]3374* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
3375
3376* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
3377
3378* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
3379  Instead turn off depth colouring.
3380
[8ea82aa]3381* aven: Export as HPGL added.
3382
[887c26e]3383* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
3384  Martin Green).
3385
[7c29c976]3386* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
3387  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
3388  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
3389
[7e01c87]3390* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]3391
[7e01c87]3392* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
3393  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
3394
3395* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
3396  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
3397  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
3398  of everything else.
3399
3400* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
3401  presentation icons.
3402
3403* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
3404  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]3405
[b46bf92]3406* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
3407
[796d7bf]3408* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
3409
[7e01c87]3410* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
3411
3412* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
3413
[b88b171]3414* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
3415  language to use for messages.
3416
[7c29c976]3417* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
3418  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
3419
[8ea82aa]3420* Removed old printer drivers.
3421
[7e01c87]3422* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
3423  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]3424
[920b066]3425Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]3426
3427* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
3428
[4ba80e0]3429* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
3430
3431* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
3432  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
3433
[95ce35f]3434* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
3435  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]3436
[95ce35f]3437* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
3438
[cd78148]3439* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
3440  underground legs is toggled.
3441
[f5627353]3442* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
3443  attached to the previous data.
3444
[dfe4a520]3445* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
3446  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
3447  them.
3448
[920b066]3449Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]3450
3451* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
3452
3453* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
3454  continental European countries).
3455
3456* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
3457  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
3458  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
3459
3460* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
3461
3462* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
3463  they're needed.
3464
3465* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
3466
3467* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
3468
3469* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
3470
3471* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
3472  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
3473  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
3474
3475* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
3476
[920b066]3477Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]3478
3479* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
3480
3481* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
3482
3483* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
3484
3485* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
3486
3487* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
3488
3489* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
3490
3491* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
3492  when there's a presentation loaded.
3493
3494* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
3495  in cave view.
3496
3497* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
3498
3499* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
3500  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
3501  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
3502
3503* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
3504  filename for file history and window title.
3505
3506* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
3507  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
3508  only needed with GTK1.2.
3509
3510* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
3511
3512* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
3513
3514* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
3515
3516* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
3517
3518Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]3519
3520* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
3521  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
3522  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
3523
3524* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
3525  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
3526
3527* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
3528  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
3529  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
3530  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]3531
[0e558e5]3532* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]3533
3534* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
3535  with --help and --version.
3536
3537* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
3538  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]3539  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]3540  Fixed all these problems.
3541
3542* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
3543  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
3544  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
3545
3546* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]3547  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
3548  sources.
[8faa5d8]3549
[0e558e5]3550* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]3551
3552* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
3553
3554* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
3555  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
3556
3557* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
3558  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
3559  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
3560  animating.
3561
3562* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
3563
3564* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
3565
3566* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
3567  to this branch.
3568
3569* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
3570
3571  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
3572
3573  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
3574
3575  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
3576
3577* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]3578
[8faa5d8]3579* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
3580  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
3581
3582* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
3583
3584* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]3585  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]3586
3587* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
3588
3589* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
3590  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
3591  for anyone building from CVS).
3592
3593* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
3594
[4855072]3595* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]3596
3597* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
3598
3599* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
3600
[0e558e5]3601* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
3602  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]3603  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
3604
3605* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
3606  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
3607
3608* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
3609
3610* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]3611  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
3612  loaded).
[8faa5d8]3613
3614* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
3615
[920b066]3616Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]3617
3618* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]3619  startup.
[a7aa27d9]3620
3621* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
3622  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
3623
[920b066]3624Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]3625
[91e416e]3626* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
3627  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
3628  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]3629
[91e416e]3630* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
3631  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
3632  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]3633
[91e416e]3634* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
3635  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
3636  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]3637
[91e416e]3638* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]3639
[0580c6a]3640* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
3641  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
3642
[4261983]3643* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
3644  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
3645
3646* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
3647  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]3648
[f80077a]3649* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]3650
[6abab84]3651* aven: Perspective view.
3652
[91e416e]3653* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]3654
[91e416e]3655* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
3656  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]3657
[1690fa9]3658* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
3659  and load/save/run them.
3660
[0580c6a]3661* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
3662
[045e2af]3663* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
3664
[c60062d]3665* aven: Depth fogging option.
3666
[0580c6a]3667* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
3668
3669* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
3670
[f433fda]3671* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
3672  showing the surface legs.
3673
[0580c6a]3674* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
