cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands with feature
test. A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now becomes a date
range for the relevant period (previously it became a single date near
the middle of that period).

[e0c7cd1]1* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands with feature
2  test.  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now becomes a date
3  range for the relevant period (previously it became a single date near
4  the middle of that period).
5
[60dbe70]6* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
7
[125c9ea]8* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
9  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
10
[ec58e3d3]11* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
12  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
13  dialogs.
14
[b65c13f]15* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
16  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
17  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
18
[17cce5f]19* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
20  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
21
[affaeee]22* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
23
[7e01c87]24Changes in 1.1.6:
25
26* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
27  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
28
[b88b171]29* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
30  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
31  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
32  3d file.
33
[7e01c87]34* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
35
36* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
37
38* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
39  Instead turn off depth colouring.
40
[8ea82aa]41* aven: Export as HPGL added.
42
[887c26e]43* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
44  Martin Green).
45
[7c29c976]46* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
47  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
48  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
49
[7e01c87]50* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]51
[7e01c87]52* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
53  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
54
55* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
56  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
57  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
58  of everything else.
59
60* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
61  presentation icons.
62
63* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
64  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]65
[b46bf92]66* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
67
[796d7bf]68* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
69
[7e01c87]70* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
71
72* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
73
[b88b171]74* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
75  language to use for messages.
76
[7c29c976]77* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
78  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
79
[8ea82aa]80* Removed old printer drivers.
81
[7e01c87]82* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
83  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]84
[106cfdf]85Changes in 1.1.5:
86
87* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
88
[4ba80e0]89* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
90
91* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
92  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
93
[95ce35f]94* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
95  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
96 
97* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
98
[cd78148]99* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
100  underground legs is toggled.
101
[f5627353]102* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
103  attached to the previous data.
104
[dfe4a520]105* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
106  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
107  them.
108
[4855072]109Changes in 1.1.4:
110
111* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
112
113* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
114  continental European countries).
115
116* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
117  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
118  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
119
120* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
121
122* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
123  they're needed.
124
125* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
126
127* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
128
129* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
130
131* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
132  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
133  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
134
135* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
136
[0e558e5]137Changes in 1.1.3:
138
139* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
140
141* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
142
143* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
144
145* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
146
147* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
148
149* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
150
151* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
152  when there's a presentation loaded.
153
154* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
155  in cave view.
156
157* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
158
159* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
160  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
161  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
162
163* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
164  filename for file history and window title.
165
166* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
167  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
168  only needed with GTK1.2.
169
170* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
171
172* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
173
174* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
175
176* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
177
178Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]179
180* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
181  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
182  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
183
184* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
185  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
186
187* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
188  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
189  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
190  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]191
[0e558e5]192* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]193
194* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
195  with --help and --version.
196
197* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
198  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]199  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]200  Fixed all these problems.
201
202* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
203  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
204  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
205
206* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]207  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
208  sources.
[8faa5d8]209
[0e558e5]210* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]211
212* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
213
214* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
215  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
216
217* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
218  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
219  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
220  animating.
221
222* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
223
224* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
225
226* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
227  to this branch.
228
229* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
230
231  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
232
233  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
234
235  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
236
237* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]238
[8faa5d8]239* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
240  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
241
242* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
243
244* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]245  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]246
247* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
248
249* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
250  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
251  for anyone building from CVS).
252
253* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
254
[4855072]255* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]256
257* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
258
259* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
260
[0e558e5]261* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
262  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]263  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
264
265* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
266  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
267
268* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
269
270* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]271  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
272  loaded).
[8faa5d8]273
274* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
275
[a7aa27d9]276Changes in 1.1.1:
277
278* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]279  startup.
[a7aa27d9]280
281* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
282  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
283
[0580c6a]284Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0:
[edb6576]285
[91e416e]286* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
287  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
288  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]289
[91e416e]290* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
291  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
292  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]293
[91e416e]294* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
295  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
296  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]297
[91e416e]298* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]299
[0580c6a]300* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
301  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
302
[4261983]303* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
304  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
305
306* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
307  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]308
[f80077a]309* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]310
[6abab84]311* aven: Perspective view.
312
[91e416e]313* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]314
[91e416e]315* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
316  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]317
[1690fa9]318* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
319  and load/save/run them.
320
[0580c6a]321* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
322
[045e2af]323* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
324
[c60062d]325* aven: Depth fogging option.
326
[0580c6a]327* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
328
329* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
330
[f433fda]331* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
332  showing the surface legs.
333
[0580c6a]334* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
[da6c802]335
[0580c6a]336Changes in 1.0.32:
[db452ae]337
[0580c6a]338* aven: Fixed font sizes in "Print Preview" and printouts.
[a517825]339
[0580c6a]340* aven: In the print setup dialog, replaced "Orientation" radio buttons with
341  "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons.
342
343* aven: Fixed info box on printouts of elevations, tilted views, and
344  extend elevations.
345
346* aven: Added "fit on one page" option, and make it the default.
347
348* aven: Reorder "Cancel", "Preview", "Print" buttons and make "Print" the
349  default button.
350
351* aven: Read settings back from the print dialog when the "Print" button is
352  pressed (was only done for "Preview" previously).
353
354* aven: Sorted out the initial size of the "Print Preview" window.
355
356* aven: Fixed the window manager's close button on the "Print Preview" window
357  - previously this was being ignored.
358
359* aven: Sorted out initial survey scaling when loading a survey at startup.
360
361* aven: Fixed the measuring line to work better when the survey tree is
362  manipulated with keys.  Tweaked redrawing of the measuring line to be a
363  smidgen more efficient.  Fixed the blob and ring size which were one
364  pixel too small on Windows.
365
366* aven: Added "System Information:" section to the "About" dialog to hold
367  information useful when reporting bugs.  Currently it contains the wxWindows
368  version, OS version, and colour depth information.
369
370* aven: Changed the "About" dialog's "Close" button to be "OK" for consistency
371  with pretty much every other application.
372
373* aven: Added "File->Export as..." which integrates cad3d's functionality
374  within aven.
375
376* aven: Updated a few icons.
377
378* cad3d: Added SVG export support from John Pybus
379
380* (Unix version): Fixed to allow compilation with GCC 3.4
381
382* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to using innosetup 4 for the installer
383  (we were using innosetup 2).  This results in a much smaller download
384  and the installer now translates itself into the currently set language.
385  The installer will no longer work on Windows NT 3.51, but I seriously
386  doubt anyone is still using that...
387
388* Updates to German translation.
389
390Changes in 1.0.31:
391
392* (MS Windows version): Fixed problems with the new printing code by building
393  with a newer version of wxWindows (2.5.2 instead of 2.4.1).
394
395* aven: Fixed grid menu item so that it always correctly reflects whether the
396  grid is enabled or not.
397
398* aven: Minor improvements to appearance of a few toolbar icons.
399
400* Updates to Catalan, French, Italian, Romanian, Slovak, and Spanish
401  translations.
402
403* cavern: Fixed Romanian message which was appearing in English .err files.
404
405Changes in 1.0.30:
406
407* aven: Added printing directly from Aven!
408
409* aven: Fixed memory leak when showing the "About" dialog.
410
411* (MacOS X version): Now installable from a disk image package.
412
413* cavern: Equates are no longer considered when deciding which stations are
414  flagged as surface and underground.
415
416* Romanian translation mostly completed.
417
418* (Unix version): Debian: Minor packaging tweaks.
419
420Changes in 1.0.29:
421
422* cad3d: Fixed problem with DXF files which stopped them loading with some
423  drawing packages (introduced in 1.0.27).
424
425* aven: Changed File->Exit to File->Quit.
426
427* Removed some unused messages from the message files.
428
429* (Unix version): Fixed SRPMs to build on RedHat 9 and Fedora Core 1 (patch
430  from John Pybus).
431
432* Romanian translation started.
433
434* (Unix version): Debian: Fixed new lintian warnings about missing quotes in
435  menu files.
436
437Changes in 1.0.28:
438
439* Fixed 3d file reading code to fix incorrect unpacking of compressed station
440  names in a rare case.  Also checked other rare cases work correctly.
441
442Changes in 1.0.27:
443
444* cad3d: DXF output now puts surface legs, stations, and labels in separate
445  layers.
446
447* (Unix version): distribute desc-svxedit.txt.
[b462168]448
[1809849]449Changes in 1.0.26:
[b462168]450
[b4fe9fb]451* cavern: Fixed interleaved topofil data style - the length was always being
452  calculated as zero.
[b462168]453
454* (Unix version): aven: "All Files" now shows files without extensions too.
455
[b4fe9fb]456* aven: added Ctrl+Q as shortcut for File->Exit.
457
458* aven: depth colouring now uses a proper colour gradient.
459
460* (MacOS X version): aven: the keyboard and mouse now work!  It turns out that
461  we must apply resources *after* installing.
462
463* (MacOS X version): aven: now works when run from the MacOS X Finder.
464
465* (MacOS X version): look for message files and other resources relative to the
466  binaries so that the user can install Survex from a disk image in the location
467  of their choice.
468
469* (MacOS X version): fixed not to try to build aven if wxWindows isn't
470  installed.
471
[63dc4eb]472* cad3d: fixed -e and -r options to not crash (the long versions have always
473  worked).
474
475* extend: fixed to initialise an internal structure - failing to do so was
476  probably causing crashes on some platforms.
[b4fe9fb]477
[2934e83]478* Fixed standard graphics for "Note", "Warning", etc in the PostScript manual.
479
[b4fe9fb]480* Documentation updated.
481
[63dc4eb]482* (Unix version): fixed svxedit man page which previously contained xcaverot
[b4fe9fb]483  documentation!
484
485* test suite: check that cavern doesn't report "nan" or "NaN" for any values.
486
[63dc4eb]487* (Unix version): fixed configure --enable-defaultlang=XX to work.
[b4fe9fb]488
489* (Unix version): fixed configure code to turn on lots of GCC warnings and fixed
490  most of them.
[b5a3219]491
[63dc4eb]492* (MS Windows version): assorted tweaks to allow building with MS Visual C/C++.
493
[b462168]494Changes in 1.0.25:
495
496* (MacOS X version): hopefully fixed building of aven.
497
498* (Unix version): updated config.guess and config.sub so should build out of
499  the box on more Unix platforms.
500
501* (Unix version): Debian: added missing Build-Depends on xlibs-dev.
502
503* (Unix version): RPMs: give up supplying binary RPMs due to apparently
504  insurmountable technical problems.
[1a09e2c]505
[b462168]506Changes in 1.0.24:
507
508* cavern: fixed LEVEL (broken since around 1.0.8) and added test case.
509
510* cavern: corrected handling of declination in Compass DAT files and added test
511  case; also added tests for other aspects of Compass DAT file reading.
512
513* printps/printpcl: fixed blank page detection in some obscure cases.
514
515* Documentation: started manual section on working with Compass data files.
516
517* (Unix version): fixed compilation problems with aven and getopt.h on MacOS X
518  (and probably some other Unix versions).
519
520* (Unix version): Debian package now Build-Depends on gcc-3.2 and g++-3.2.
521
522Changes in 1.0.23:
523
524* Documentation: include 3d v3 file format description on MS Windows, MS DOS,
525  and RISC OS too; include PNG graphics for manual on MS Windows; minor updates
526  to manual.
527
528* Prefer wxWindows 2.4 if it's available.
529
530* (MacOS X version): detect MacOS X and look for MacOS X build of wxWindows;
531  automatically add resource fork to aven binary.
532
533* Disabled experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - it isn't currently
534  working and makes the printer drivers unusable on Chinese versions of MS
535  Windows.
536
537* (Unix version): tweaked debian packaging.
538
539* cavern: Handling of "*:" at start of file wasn't fully fixed in 1.0.19.
540
541Changes in 1.0.22:
542
543* aven: Fixed handling of extended elevations (and other flat surveys) -
544  they are meant to be "locked flat" but this wasn't fully working before.
545
546* Documentation: 3d v3 file format description: fixed error in description of
547  codes 0x01-0x0e; include it in binary packages (not only with the source
548  code).
549
550Changes in 1.0.21:
551
552* cavern: when reading Compass DAT files, we now processes compass and clino
553  backsights, and recognise the "X" flag which indicates a leg should be
554  entirely ignored.  And we now report correct line number with errors in
555  Compass .MAK files.
556
557* cavern: if "*infer plumbs on", don't infer a plumb if the clino is
558  +/- 90 degrees, but the backclino isn't (and vice versa).
559
560* cavern: fixed 3dx output so it actually works with Chasm once more.
561
562* cavern: don't allocate extra space needed for producing 3dx output for
563  Chasm unless we're actually producing that output - saves about 8 bytes
564  per station.
565
566* cavern: removed slightly too keen sanity check which could misfire in very
567  unusual circumstances.
568
569* (MS Windows version): all .ico files except 3d.ico have been missing since
570  1.0.17 (or maybe 1.0.16) - fixed.  You wouldn't notice this if you installed
571  over an previous version.
572
573Changes in 1.0.20:
574
575* aven: update display when "Metric" or "Degrees" is toggled.
576
577* cavern: fixed handling of compass and clino corrections in Compass survey
578  data - these were interpreted as radians rather than degrees so the
579  correction was about 57 times too large!)
580
581* Improved handling of Compass PLT files - if the survey name is empty, don't
582  insert a survey separator character.
583
584* Documentation: fixed incorrect markup which resulted in a bogus footnote.
585
586Changes in 1.0.19:
587
588* cavern: you can now process Compass format survey data (.DAT and .MAK files) -
589  these can even be linked into a Survex dataset with "*include fulford.dat" or
590  "*include lech.mak" to allow processing of mixed datasets.
591
592* cavern: major speedup (up to 60%) when reading in survey data containing
593  a lot of stations in the same survey hierarchy level (which is how Compass
594  files are handled).
595
596* cavern: don't warn about a compass reading on a plumbed leg if the
597  plumb was inferred and the compass reading is zero.
598
599* cavern: reduced memory usage in code which reads a survey station name.
600
601* cavern: reported CPU time would go negative if cavern ran for more than
602  about 36 minutes (highly unlikely but not impossible on a slow machine
603  with a large, highly interconnect survey) - fixed.
604
605* cavern: avoid unnecessary work when --percentage isn't specified.
606
607* cavern: Writing "*:" at the start of a .svx file would crash cavern - fixed
608  and added test case.  This is an error anyway, but it shouldn't cause a
609  crash.
610
[89a6a1e]611* Don't distribute unused toolbar icons.
612
[b462168]613* Documentation: minor updates.
614
[27b8b59]615Changes in 1.0.18:
616
[b462168]617* (Unix version): Fixed "Process" action on .svx files.
[27b8b59]618
[b462168]619* (Unix version): File associations: if svxedit isn't installed, run gnome-edit
620  instead.
[27b8b59]621
[b462168]622* (Unix version): In Debian packages, now include file associations and file
[27b8b59]623  icons in the survex package rather than survex-aven.
624
[b462168]625* (Unix version): File associations were missing from RPM packages; moved
[27b8b59]626  aven and svxedit man pages to their respective subpackages; moved aven icons
627  to the aven subpackage.
628
629* Documentation: added details of the 3d file format (version 3).
630
631* Updated TODO list.
632
633Changes in 1.0.17:
634
[b462168]635* (MS Windows version): Fixed "Open in SvxEdit" to work (and if tcl isn't
[27b8b59]636  install this action now falls back to using notepad).  SvxEdit now has
637  its own icon.
638
[b462168]639* (Unix version): Install mime types, icons, and file associations for Gnome.
[27b8b59]640  Note: at present GMC doesn't seem to notice new files being created (e.g.
641  Process on a .svx file creates .3d and .err files) - you have to manually
642  refresh the view.
643
644* Minor update to manual.
645
646Changes in 1.0.16:
647
[b462168]648* (MS Windows version): Really fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
[27b8b59]649  programs from finding the message files.
650
[b462168]651* (MS Windows version): Remove any existing "Open" file association for .svx
[27b8b59]652  files.
653
654Changes in 1.0.15:
655
[b462168]656* (MS Windows version): Fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
[27b8b59]657  programs from finding the message files.
658
[b462168]659* (MS Windows version): "Open in Notepad" is now the double-click action
[27b8b59]660  for .svx files once again, "Open in SvxEdit" is an action in the menu
661  obtained with the right mouse button.
662
663Changes in 1.0.14:
664
665* svxedit: This is a Survex data entry editor from the therion team.  It needs
666  tcl and wish installed - for MS Windows an installer is available for free
667  from Activeware.
668
[ee1ec59]669* Improved handling of Compass PLT files and CMAP xyz files - no longer change
670  dots to spaces in survey and station names - instead use a space as the
671  separator between survey name and station name.
[27b8b59]672
673* aven: when picking non-overlapping labels, show a slight preference to shorter
674  labels with the aim of displaying more labels.
675
676* aven: fixed hard to notice problem which could cause the cave to appear
677  tilted sideways after a lot of manipulation.
678
679* cavern: Modest speed improvement (0.5% for sample dataset).
[ee1ec59]680
681* cavern: fixed a rarely sighted bug which caused erroneous error about some
[21c226e]682  stations not being attached to a fixed point.
683
[e7576f6]684* cavern: fixed clino readings and DIRECTION to work in interleaved data.
[21c226e]685
[ee1ec59]686* cavern: improved error reporting when an invalid value is given for a
687  DIRECTION reading.
688
[42d23c5]689* cavern: fixed "singular matrix" error when very low SDs were specified.
690
[27b8b59]691* print*: if the --raw is used, the survey can now use the space this would
692  have taken up.
693
694* Reading of ASCII 3d files now copes with MSDOS/MS Windows line endings
695  once again.  Added regression test for this.
696
[b462168]697* (MS Windows version): Programs run from the command line now find message
[27b8b59]698  files without SURVEXHOME needing to be set.
699
[21c226e]700* Updated documentation.
701
702Changes in 1.0.13:
703
704* aven: Fixed bug which caused the occasional spurious leg to be shown
705  connecting arbitrary stations.
[27b8b59]706
[21c226e]707* extend: try to extend along a survey, and make breaks where other surveys
708  join.
709
710* cavern: Number reading code reworked to allow repeat readings to be
711  supported, but the actual repeat reading code is currently disabled,
712  and everything should work exactly as before.
713
714* Experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - only a few messages are
715  currently translated.
716
[50b0c7f]717Changes in 1.0.12:
718
[950e261]719* diffpos: fixed to work on 64bit architectures.
720
[dd5a89c]721* sorterr: fixed to work with more than 1024 traverses.
722
[abd126e]723* Fixed handling of iso-8859-2 character set and MS Windows code page 1250
724  (both cover Eastern European languages).
[27b8b59]725
[b462168]726* (MS Windows version): install file associations for Compass .plt and .plf
[f3d5b20]727  files and for CMAP .xyz files.  Also install the file icon for .plt and
728  .plf files in case Compass isn't installed (thanks to Larry Fish for
729  permission to include the icon).
730
731* (Unix version): running an installed program with an explicit path works
732  again.
733
734* (Unix version): xcaverot: automatically switch on PDA mode if the screen is
[15d7cc1]735  less than 640 pixels wide or less than 480 pixels high.
[f3d5b20]736
737* (Unix version): minor portability improvements.
738
[50b0c7f]739* Updates to Portuguese translation - all translations are now up-to-date.
740
[b8c4913]741Changes in 1.0.11:
742
[496a208]743* aven: improvements in 1.0.10 to the file type selector only work properly
744  on MS Windows, and with wxGtk >= 2.3 on Unix (the latest stable release is
745  2.2.9 where this doesn't work).  Fixed to work as well as possible on 2.2.9,
746  and as intended on 2.3.
747
[52634cc]748* aven: fixed so that loading PLT files works regardless of the current locale
749  (previously it would fail for locales where the decimal character wasn't
750  '.').
751
[7757a4ed]752* aven: key actions during autorotation no longer temporarily pause
753  autorotation.
754
[cc9150c]755* aven: switching to plan or elevation while rotating is now smooth.
756
757* aven: removed undocumented and confusing "free rotation mode".
758
759* (MS Windows version): aven: focus now set correctly after loading a file by
760  double-clicking or from the command line.
761
[a3326288]762* cad3d: write dummy passage dimensions to .plt files to avoid Compass bug.
763
[ca4058d]764* printwin/printps: now support coloured printouts.
765
[a3326288]766* print*: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
767
768* extend: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
[388ad50]769
[d275723]770* Updates to Italian translation.
771
[0f125da]772* Minor documentation updates.
773
[5215b99]774Changes in 1.0.10:
775
[6097cd2]776* (MS Windows version): aven: fixed assert failure upon turning on station
777  names.
778
[c01c332]779* aven: only add a file to the list of recently used files if it was opened
780  successfully.
781
[d16db18]782* aven: recognise ".plf" as a Compass PLT file too; and on Unix list "*.PLT",
783  "*.PLF", "*.XYZ", and "*.3D" as well as the lowercase versions to help people
784  who transfer files from MSDOS/MS Windows.
785
[cfcfd28]786* cavern: fixed bogus warning triggered by "*begin abc.def" (I'm not sure
787  that this should be valid, but the warning given wasn't appropriate).
788
[a9ab65a]789* Fixed scaling problem when reading PLT file (feet->metres conversion
790  factor was being applied backwards!)
791
[47e4a2e]792* Fixed potential problem when reading or writing a 3d file which couldn't
793  be opened.
794
[5215b99]795* Translate dots to spaces in survey names in Compass PLT files.
796
[ef59f5e]797* Better handling of PLT files which have a D command before any M command.
798
[c01c332]799* Updates to German and Italian translations.
[3bf737e]800
[f4276af]801Changes in 1.0.9:
802
[e3dfce4]803* aven: Fixed jerky start when auto-rotation begins.
804
805* cavern: Fixed Direction reading - bug previously made it unusable.
[f4276af]806
[6317ee2]807* (MS Windows version): cad3d: fixed broken PLT output (had a double CR at the
808  end of each line).
809
[161e268]810* (Unix version): RPMs now have the docs in /usr/share/doc and the man pages
811  in /usr/share/man to conform with the FHS (and where RedHat packages put
812  them).
813
[06e94a8]814* Updates to French, Spanish, Catalan, and Slovak translations.
[b10788f]815
[732b9b0]816Changes in 1.0.8:
817
[b6de07d]818* Slovak translation added; updated German, Catalan, and Spanish translations.
819
[fa42426]820* aven: reduced memory usage by around 25% and increased speed and
821  responsiveness.
[cd6ea75]822
[a8e9fde]823* aven: rate of rotation and switching between plan and elevation now adjusted
824  to the speed of redraw, so aven behaves in a similar way independent of the
825  speed of the computer or size of the survey.
826
[75993b9]827* aven: provide list of most recently loaded files (preserved between runs of
828  the program).
[6804731]829
830* aven: settings for "Metric" and "Degrees" are preserved between runs.
[732b9b0]831
[8ac4406]832* aven: moved some menu items from "View" to "Controls" as they probably
833  belong there and the "View" menu was getting out of hand.
834
[c8c116c]835* aven: cursor keys now translate cave in the same way the mouse does (i.e. now
836  work as in caverot and xcaverot).
837
[6df24ee]838* aven: eliminated the "twinkling label" effect when dragging the cave with the
839  right mouse button.
840
[fa42426]841* aven: the measuring line moves much more smoothly now: the mouse cursor now
842  snaps to the nearest station, rather than just a near station; and when the
843  line moves, we now only redraw the affected area of the window.
[2173dbd]844
[b6de07d]845* aven: resolved annoying limit on zooming in on large surveys.  This was a
846  crude way of preventing random lines due to overflow in the windowing system.
847  Aven now clips lines itself at high zoom levels, and limits zoom in to
848  approximately 1mm/pixel.
849
850* aven: zoom in/out with keyboard wasn't subject to any limits - now restricted
851  to sane values as with zoom in/out with the mouse.
852
[5fa68cc5]853* print*: added --raw switch to turn of info box, scale bar, and page footer.
854  This can be useful if you want to import the output into another application.
[1a09e2c]855
[5b7c1b7]856* print*: improved output when --no-border is used.
[3fb572e]857
[2001db9]858* printpcl/printdm: Added new .ini setting "font_bitmap" which allows the user
859  to choose between alternative fonts.  Current we supply "default" and "bold".
860
[fa42426]861* printps/printhpgl: Fixed --skip-blanks which would incorrectly skip non-blank
862  pages on rare occasions.
863
[11e919a]864* cavern: added support for BackCompass and BackClino.
[5b7c1b7]865
[fa42426]866* cavern: implemented "*units clino percent".
[c9eb197]867
[0580c6a]868* cavern: added "*infer exports on".  Any stations seen while this is on will
[c00c74a9]869  have the necessary *export-s inferred when accessed from outside their
870  own survey.  This allows linking a survey which uses *export to one which
871  doesn't.  It's also useful for a maze cave where so many stations can
872  be linked to that listing them explicitly isn't desirable.
873
[fa42426]874* cavern: N-S, E-W, and vertical ranges now only count stations which are in
875  underground surveys.
876
[0b71cfc]877* cavern: *infer plumbs wasn't inferring -90 to be DOWN - fixed.
878
[c00c74a9]879* cavern: *infer was giving an internal error if the argument was unknown -
880  now it gives the correct error message.
881
[fa42426]882* cavern: fixed handling of omitted clino readings when OMIT is *set to be
883  different from MINUS and PLUS (new test omitclino).
884
[b14f44f]885* cavern: fixed a bogus warning for any station which was only used in a line
886  of data which was rejected because of an error.
887
[fa42426]888* cavern: added error if the *units factor is zero (e.g. "*units tape 0 feet").
889
[b14f44f]890* cavern: removed the ill-thought-out and never implemented LENGTHOUTPUT
891  and ANGLEOUTPUT quantities.
892
[770157e]893* cavern: resolved mismatch between bcra5.svx and the default SDs, and the
894  odd values in bcra3.svx.  We are now interpreting the BCRA limits as 2
895  standard deviations (previously bcra5.svx used 3 sds, bcra3 used 3.33 sds for
896  tape and position, and .75 sds for compass and clino, and cavern used 1 sd
897  by default).
898
[a20b208]899* ChangeLog now only includes entries since the previous release (the full file
[9cc3854]900  is 220K or so, and of interest to very few people).  MSDOS and MS Windows
[b14f44f]901  versions now comfortably fit on a 1.44M floppy once again.
[9cc3854]902
[b6de07d]903* Test suite now checks that all programs will run successfully with "--help"
904  and with "--version".  This should avoid problems such as that which broke
905  the printer drivers in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
[a20b208]906
[fa42426]907* (Unix version): uninstalled binaries now use the path they are run with to
908  find support files, which means SURVEXHOME is no longer required, and has
909  been removed.
910
[7c41b21]911Changes in 1.0.7:
912
913* print*: halted with a failed assertion in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
914
[cd8d79a]915Changes in 1.0.6:
916
917* aven: "Reverse Controls" now works as in xcaverot and caverot.
918
919* aven: free rotation mode (engage by pressing control while left dragging,
920  exit with Delete) improved.
921
[30987bd]922* aven: using File->Open when a file was already loaded caused a crash
923  if a station was "grey highlighted" in the survey tree - fixed.
924
[e98af57]925* aven: added hourglass for "find" operation.
926
[0edb0d0]927* aven: reenabled loading of files by drag-and-drop (accidentally disabled
928  in 1.0.4 and 1.0.5).
929
[303a525]930* aven: improved handling of flat surveys (e.g. output of extend, surveys
931  with no clino information).
932
[12d0d1b]933* aven: surveys with stations but no legs no longer cause the labels and
934  crosses buttons to behave oddly.
935
[2c30188]936* aven: removed quite a bit of unused and superfluous code.
937
[3d5fb53]938* Spell-checked documentation.
939
[c637fad]940Changes in 1.0.5:
941
942* Fixed bug in img_open_survey() which could cause a crash if you tried to
[88c780d]943  open an unrecognised file (i.e. not .3d, .pos, .plt, or .xyz format).
944
945* North and East were the wrong way round when reading in .plt files.
[c637fad]946
[5173649]947* cad3d: Improved .plt file output a little - there's probably enough file
948  structure for Compass to read them now.
949
[f9dc4a0]950* Documentation updates.
951
[ea1c342]952Changes in 1.0.4:
953
[64511c0]954* extend: previously only kept one name for an equated group of stations in the
955  extended .3d file; now keeps all the names.
956
[b387524]957* cad3d: if an output filename is given, use its extension to pick the default
958  output format.
959
[ba2c5b1]960* aven: movement with keyboard is now accelerated by Shift as in caverot.
961
[f3ed07f]962* print*: --no-borders fixed to work as documented; --no-cutlines added to
963  turn off the dashed lines where pages join on multi-page printouts.
[80f17e0]964
[189f179]965* aven: tracked down two uninitialised variables which seems to fix the
966  failure to load a survey on startup which some people have been experiencing
967  on Microsoft Windows.
968
969* aven: code cleaned up - should improve performance a little.
[9f3e5df]970
971* img routines: img_rewind() now returns a value indicating success/failure.
972
[f1c7c9c7]973* Improvements to .plt file reading, notably that distances in the file are
974  now interpreted as being in feet rather than metres.  Also .plt files should
975  now be recognised even with a different extension, and we cope with an odd
976  special case better.
977
978* Added support for reading CMAP XYZ files.  There are two variants of these
979  - the "shot" format is fully implemented, the "station" format currently
980  just reads the station names and positions - the legs are ignored (sadly
981  the sample files I have do not match the format specification).
[4ebc557]982
[80f17e0]983* (MacOS X version): aven: aven now builds on MacOS X - we just need to sort
[64511c0]984  out packaging now...
[ea1c342]985
[be48ac6]986* (MSDOS version): upgraded graphics library used to Allegro 4.0.1.
987
[fe16ba3]988* Documentation updates.
[a7e3295]989
[febe041]990Changes in 1.0.3:
991
[7a89dc2]992* aven: you can now select distances to be displayed in feet (or miles when
993  you zoom right out) instead of metres, and angles to be in grads instead
994  of degrees.
995
996* aven: show altitude of mouse pointer when in elevation view.
997
[febe041]998* cad3d: fixed bug which caused --plt to crash on some platforms.
999
[3857e321]1000* print*: added "Printing to `XXX'..." message to say where output is being
1001  written.
1002
[a8fa00a]1003* Updated French translation; minor updates to other translations (mostly
1004  sorting out clashing menu shortcuts in aven).
[e3a14ae]1005
[43db339]1006* (Unix version): assorted portability tweaks.
1007
[745433f]1008Changes in 1.0.2:
1009
[4783405]1010* printdm/printpcl/printwin: take notice of font_size_labels setting in
1011  print.ini etc.
1012
[107b8bd]1013* cavern: Topofil can now be used with DIVING and CYLPOLAR styles; TOPOFIL
1014  style is now synonymous with NORMAL.
1015
1016* cavern: *INFER EQUATES and *DATA TOPOFIL now work together correctly.
1017
[c2211a5]1018* cavern: *FIX with 3 standard deviations but no covariances now works.
1019
[f73bb48]1020* (MacOS X version): command line programs now build.  We're working on Aven.
[745433f]1021
[7fc1465]1022* Updates to the Catalan and Spanish translations.
1023
[4783405]1024* xcaverot: documented environmental variables XCAVEROT_INDICATOR_RADIUS and
1025  XCAVEROT_FONTNAME.
1026
[e1b99fc]1027* cad3d: added --plt option to produce crude approximation to Compass .plt
1028  files - should be good enough for reading into Carto.
1029
[ad4eaf3f]1030* img library enhanced to allow Compass .plt files to be read as if they were
1031  .3d files.
1032
[3217572]1033Changes in 1.0.1:
1034
[7fc1465]1035* (MS Windows version): printwin: fixed sizes of cross and page alignment
[de5f18d]1036  ticks.
[7be0ba8]1037
[5d38036]1038* Updates to the Portuguese and Italian translations.
1039
[c51c50a]1040Changes in 1.0.0:
[4b4bd47]1041
[4d3dfdf]1042* Fixed --survey option supported by many programs which was broken in 0.99.
1043
[c51c50a]1044* aven: altered colours of "fixed points" and "entrances" buttons to match
1045  the coloured blobs used to indicate them.
1046
[de5f18d]1047* (MS Windows version): aven: changed current point highlighting in the
[35001ee]1048  survey tree to use a light grey background rather than bold (bold causes
1049  the text to "wriggle" as the highlight runs up or down).
1050
[1cc6cc5]1051* (MS Windows version): file icons now have transparent backgrounds.
1052
[c51c50a]1053* survex: removed conversion wrapper - you should use "cavern file.svx"
1054  instead of "survex file.svx".
1055
[fe282c2]1056* (Unix version): GCC 2.95 sometimes fails with an internal error when trying
1057  to compile gfxcore.cc - if it does, the Makefile will now try recompiling
1058  with a lower optimisation level.
1059
[8f2c870]1060* (Unix version): when doing an "in directory" build from source, the HTML
1061  manual is now installed in its own subdirectory as when doing a non
1062  "in directory" build.
1063
[c51c50a]1064* German translation now completely up-to-date.
