[1ed104f]1Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-08-29):
2
3* aven:
4
5  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
6    machines.
7
8  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
9
10  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
11    already being processed.
12
13  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
14    Reported by Martin Green.
15
16* cavern: Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's
17  confusing in a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file
18  so jumps around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd
19  don't want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
20  progress display to be useful.
21
22* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
23
24* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
25  running cavern.
26
[7f7dbd5]27Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
[d225571]28
29* aven:
30
31  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
32    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
33    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
34    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
35    finding this fix.
36
37* cavern:
38
39  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
40
41  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
42    station.
43
[7f7dbd5]44  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
45    *export.
46
[2d865b7]47Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
[31e9b72]48
[03c259e]49* aven:
50
[2d865b7]51  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
52    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
53    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
54
[22f17f1]55  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
56
[03c259e]57  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
58    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
59    does.
60
[2d865b7]61  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
62    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
63
64  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
65    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
66
67  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
68    as appropriate.
69
[03c259e]70  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
71    values on Windows.
72
73* cavern:
74
[22f17f1]75  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
76    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
77    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
78
[2d865b7]79  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
80    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
81
82  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
83    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
84    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
[1687a13]85    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
86
87  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
88    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
89    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
90    Atkinson.
[2d865b7]91
92  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
93    actual error rather than on a separate line.
[22f17f1]94
[03c259e]95  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
96    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
97    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
98    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
99
100  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
101    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
102    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
103
104* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
105  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
106  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
107  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
108
109* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
110
[2d865b7]111* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
112  "*DECLINATION" command.
113
[ab3b4a9]114* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
115  Reported by Jenny Black.
116
117* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
118  documentation.
119
[22f17f1]120* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
121  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
122
123* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
124
[2d865b7]125* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
126
[7027ea1]127Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
[0eaf4b1]128
129* aven:
130
[6de8e942]131  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
[31e9b72]132    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
133    the same or very similar by default.
[0eaf4b1]134
135  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
136    Maynard.
137
138  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
139
[7027ea1]140  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
141
142  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
143    away.
144
145  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
[6de8e942]146
147  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
148    display it.
149
150* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
151  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
152  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
153  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
154
[0eaf4b1]155* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
156
157* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
158  before 1.2.19.
159
160* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
161  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
162
163* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
164
165* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
166  disk image.
167
[6de8e942]168* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
169
[0eaf4b1]170* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
171  libav features we don't use.
172
173* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
174  a load of libav features we don't use.
175
176* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
177  message in the installer.
178
[1dc99d1]179Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
[f96ac93]180
181* aven:
182
183  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
184    the exported file in 1.2.18.
185
[2dac61e1]186  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
187
[4b67f71]188  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
189    exit full screen mode.
190
191  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
192    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
193    using since 1.2.7).
[2dac61e1]194
[f96ac93]195  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
196    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
197    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
198    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
[2dac61e1]199    St. Lawrence.
[f96ac93]200
201  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
202    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
203
204  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
205    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
206    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
207
208  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
209    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
210    case like we do on other platforms.
211
[739440f]212  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
213
[2dac61e1]214  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
215    support multi-monitor setups.
216
[f96ac93]217  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
218    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
219
[4b67f71]220  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
221    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
222
[f96ac93]223  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
224    cases.
225
[2dac61e1]226  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
227    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
228    Erin Lynch)
229
230  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
231    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
232    items in in so it uses the full width.
[f96ac93]233
234  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
235    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
236    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
237    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
238    window.
239
[2dac61e1]240  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
241    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
242    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
243    only relevant on the first ever run.
[f96ac93]244
245* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
246
247* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
248  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
249  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
250  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
251  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
252  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
253
[4b67f71]254* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
255  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
256
[3f02aa4]257Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
[2595419]258
[4a8031f]259* aven:
[a5670c7]260
[4a8031f]261  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
262    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
263    rendering it as a transparent surface.
[a5670c7]264
[4a8031f]265  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
266    sanely want to perform from the menu.
[a5670c7]267
[4a8031f]268  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
269    colouring options.
[a5670c7]270
[4a8031f]271  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
[a5670c7]272
[4a8031f]273  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
274    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
275    pressing "Escape".
[a5670c7]276
[38e5701]277  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
278    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
279
[4a8031f]280  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
281    exporting.
[a5670c7]282
[38e5701]283  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
284
285  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
286    is quite likely to change.
287
[4a8031f]288  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
289    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
[a5670c7]290
[4a8031f]291  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
292    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
293    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
294
295  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
296
297  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
298    markers in orange.
299
300  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
301    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
302
303  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
304    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
305    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
306    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
307    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
308    them would be better.
309
310  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
311    Gee.
312
313  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
314    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
315    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
316
317  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
318
319* cavern:
[0476b10]320
[38e5701]321  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
322    susscorfa).
323
[4a8031f]324  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
[38e5701]325    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
[4a8031f]326
327  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
328
329  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
330    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
331
332  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
333    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
334
335* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
336
337* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
338  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
339  in a modern desktop.
[a5670c7]340
[dd65182]341* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
342  the filename in the error message.
343
[4a8031f]344* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
345  most complete translations.
[dd65182]346
[4a8031f]347* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
[dd65182]348
[4a8031f]349* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
350  lacks them.
[dd65182]351
[4a8031f]352* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
353
354* Manual:
355
356  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
357    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
358
359  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
[dd65182]360
[4a8031f]361  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
[dd65182]362
[4a8031f]363  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
364    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
365    available for download.
366
367* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
368  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
369  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
[2595419]370
[4a8031f]371* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
[dd65182]372
[3f02aa4]373* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
374
[1646310]375Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
[a6064e2]376
377* MacOS X version:
378
379  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
380
[e067870]381  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
[9e053fc]382
[e067870]383  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
384
385  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
[9e053fc]386
387  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
388    currently do this for us.
389
[a6064e2]390  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
391
392  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
393
[9e053fc]394  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
395
396  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
397    OS X cursor.
398
[e067870]399  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
400    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
401    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
402    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
403    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
404    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
405    with TextEdit.app for example).
406
407  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
408    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
409
[a6064e2]410  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
411
[9e053fc]412  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
413    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
414
415  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
416    Riggs.
417
418  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
419    space.
420
[4baea3a]421  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
[9e053fc]422
423  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
424    10.10.1.
425
426  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
427    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
428    errors.
429
[4baea3a]430  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
431    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
432    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
433    wxWidgets build supports by default.
434
[e067870]435  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
436
[a6064e2]437* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
438  treat as a single leg.
439
[9e053fc]440* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
441
442* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
443
444* aven:
445
446  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
447    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
448
449  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
450    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
451    1:500).
452
453  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
454    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
455    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
456    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
457
458  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
459    there rather than the two animations fighting.
460
461  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
462    fast.
463
464  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
465    when rotating).
466
[1646310]467  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
468    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
469
470* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
471  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
472
473* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
474
475* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
476
477* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
478
479* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
[e067870]480
[a6064e2]481* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
482  we're using git.
483
[1646310]484* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
485
486  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
487    compass.
488
489  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
490
491  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
[a6064e2]492
[03d0e8b]493Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
[9aa10ad]494
495* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
496
[f480117d]497* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
498
[9aa10ad]499* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
500
501* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
502  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
503
504* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
505
506* tests/: Improve test coverage.
507
[7bd113b]508* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
509  Greek and Polish.
[9aa10ad]510
511* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
512  by Martin Sluka.
513
514* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
515  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
516
[44f51ca]517Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
518
519* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
520  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
521  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
522  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
523  for *cs has also been improved.
524
525* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
526  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
527  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
528  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
529
530* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
531  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
532  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
533  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
534  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
535
536* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
537  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
538  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
539
540* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
541
542* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
543
544* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
545  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
546  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
547
548* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
549  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
550
[6a87cce]551Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
[5c676e2]552
[1efeb6d]553* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
554  system in use in 3d v8 files.
555
556* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
557  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
[6a87cce]558  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
559  export dialog.
[1efeb6d]560
[ea59b58]561* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
562  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
563  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
564  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
565  rather than having one corner there.
566
[26e7fa4]567* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
568  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
569
[5c676e2]570* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
571  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
572
[515b83e]573* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
574  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
575  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
576
[5c676e2]577* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
578  such as 64-bit Linux.
579
[2c5ec88]580* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
581  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
582
[5c676e2]583* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
584  64-bit platforms.
585
[ea59b58]586* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
587  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
588  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
589
[2c5ec88]590* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
591  the space available in the aven UI.
592
[1efeb6d]593* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
594  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
595  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
[ea59b58]596
[515b83e]597* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
598  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
599
[6a87cce]600* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
601  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
602  about unconnected surveys.
603
604* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
605  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
606
[67a0fc6]607* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
608  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
609  freed memory.
610
[1efeb6d]611* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
612
613* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
614
[2c5ec88]615* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
616
[5c676e2]617* Fix a compiler warning.
618
619* Improve test coverage.
620
[0d365be]621Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
[acbb5b1]622
[8ccd1d8]623* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
624  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
625  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
626
[acbb5b1]627* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
628  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
629  Hugh St Lawrence.
630
[0d365be]631* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
[8ccd1d8]632  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
633  with using aven on a touch screen device.
634
[acbb5b1]635* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
636  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
637
638* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
639  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
640
641* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
642  off and back on.
643
644* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
645  up time a little.
646
647* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
648  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
649
650* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
651  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
652  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
653  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
654  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
655  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
656  situation too.
657
658* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
659  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
660  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
661
662* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
663
664* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
665
666* Minor translation updates to French.
667
668* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
669
670* Testsuite improvements:
671
672  + Test that "..." anon station works.
673
674  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
675    fail and give an error count.
676
677  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
678
[ad727d8]679Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
[46d12e9]680
[63e8642]681* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
682  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
683  Clipstone.
[46d12e9]684
[ad727d8]685* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
686
687* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
688
689  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
690    overlap the scale bar ticks.
691
692  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
693    clipping the border in print preview.
694
695  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
696
[63e8642]697* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
698  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
[46d12e9]699
[63e8642]700* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
701  available.
[46d12e9]702
[ad727d8]703* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
704
705* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
706
707* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
708  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
709
[63e8642]710* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
711  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
[46d12e9]712
[63e8642]713* Various translation updates.
[46d12e9]714
[aac3336]715Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
[fb941bfd]716
717* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
718  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
719
[aac3336]720* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
721  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
722  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
723  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
724
[ad3017d]725* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
726  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
727
[77bdacf]728* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
729  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
[ad3017d]730
731* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
732  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
733
734* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
735  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
736
737* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
738  box".
739
740* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
741
742* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
743  indicators.
744
745* aven: All length units are now translatable.
746
[fb941bfd]747* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
748  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
749  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
750
[ad3017d]751* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
752  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
753  measurably slower.
754
755* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
756  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
757
[77bdacf]758* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
759  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
760
[ad3017d]761* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
762  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
763  from Therion and elsewhere.
764
765* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
766  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
767  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
[fb941bfd]768
769* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
770  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
771
772* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
773  A. Riggs for his work on this.
774
775* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
776  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
777
778* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
779
[ad3017d]780* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
781  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
782  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
783  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
784  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
785  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
786
787* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
788
[0ecf3b1]789Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
790
791* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
792  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
793  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
794  Clipstone.
795
[53966d3]796* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
797  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
798
[6f0d0d8]799* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
800  exported SVG files.
801
802* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
803
804* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
805  file.
806
807* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
808  GPX files.
809
810* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
811
[0ecf3b1]812* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
813  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
814
815* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
816  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
817  on startup.
818
819* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
820
821* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
822  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
823  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
824  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
825  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
826  other extensions.
827
828* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
829  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
830  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
831  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
832  timezone wrong.
833
834* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
835
[6f0d0d8]836* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
837  'SURVEY DATE:'.
[0ecf3b1]838
[6f0d0d8]839* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
[0ecf3b1]840
[6f0d0d8]841* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
[0ecf3b1]842
[53966d3]843* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
844  enabled.
845
[6b6fb4d]846Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
847
848* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
849
850* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
851
852* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
853
854* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
855  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
856  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
857
858* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
859  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
860  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
861
862* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
863  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
864
865* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
866
867* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
868
869* Fix some compiler warnings.
870
[e1f27c4]871Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
[da65891]872
873* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
874  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
875  Holder.
876
[e1f27c4]877* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
[034141d]878  statistics when the value gets large.
879
[a4adf09]880* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
881  equations.
882
[e1f27c4]883* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
884  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
885  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
886  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
887  better when the "View" box is hidden.
888
[0056ee1]889* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
890  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
891
[e1f27c4]892* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
893  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
894  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
895  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
896  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
897  way is coming soon.
898
899* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
900  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
901
902* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
903  time ago, so update references.
904
905* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
906  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
907
908* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
909  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
910
911* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
912  Sebastian Ramacher.
913
914* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
915
916* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
917
918* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
919
920* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
921
922* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
923
924* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
925  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
926  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
927
928* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
929
930* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
[9fc1cac]931
[88b54df6]932* img library:
933
[e1f27c4]934  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
935    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
936    reading).
937
938  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
939    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
940
941  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
942    support these as an extension.
[88b54df6]943
[f807d8bf]944  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
945
[e1f27c4]946* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
947  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
948  itself has any translations for.
949
950* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
951
952* Minor translation updates.
953
954* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
955
[e34bebc]956Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
[65d9b6b]957
[e34bebc]958* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
959  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
960  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
961  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
962  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
963  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
964  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
965  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]966
[e34bebc]967* New version 8 of the 3d format:
[07beaa4]968
[e34bebc]969  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[07beaa4]970
[e34bebc]971  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
972    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
[da9d788]973
[e34bebc]974  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
975    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
[da9d788]976
[e34bebc]977  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
[da9d788]978
[e34bebc]979  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
980    human-readable string.
[da9d788]981
[e34bebc]982  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
983    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
[da9d788]984
[e34bebc]985* img library:
[da9d788]986
[e34bebc]987  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[da9d788]988
[e34bebc]989  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
990    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
[da9d788]991
[e34bebc]992  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
993    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
994    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
995    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
996    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
997    explicitly in the file.
[da9d788]998
[e34bebc]999  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
[da9d788]1000
[e34bebc]1001* aven:
[da9d788]1002
[e34bebc]1003  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
1004    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
1005    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
1006    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
1007    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
1008    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
[da9d788]1009
[e34bebc]1010  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
1011    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
1012    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
1013    queued up.
[da9d788]1014
[e34bebc]1015  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
1016    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
1017
1018  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
1019    them like other legs.
1020
1021  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
1022    station names to positions.
1023
1024  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
1025    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
1026    wrongly.
1027
1028  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
1029
1030  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
1031    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
1032    that's used by the desktop).
1033
1034  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
[07beaa4]1035
[e34bebc]1036  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
1037    error from cavern.
[07beaa4]1038
[e34bebc]1039  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
[da9d788]1040
[e34bebc]1041  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
1042    in the dialog in sync.
[da9d788]1043
[e34bebc]1044* cavern:
[3dfffa2]1045
[e34bebc]1046  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
1047    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
1048    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
[3dfffa2]1049
[e34bebc]1050  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
1051    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]1052
[e34bebc]1053  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
1054    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
1055    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
1056    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
1057    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
1058    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
1059    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
1060    degrees.
[da9d788]1061
[e34bebc]1062  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
1063    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
1064    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
[da9d788]1065
[e34bebc]1066  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
[da9d788]1067
[e34bebc]1068  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
1069    warnings.
[07beaa4]1070
[e34bebc]1071  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
1072    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
[07beaa4]1073
[e34bebc]1074  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
1075    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
[da9d788]1076
[e34bebc]1077  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
1078    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
1079    relevant.
[da9d788]1080
[e34bebc]1081  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
1082    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
1083    the same line.
[da9d788]1084
[e34bebc]1085  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
1086    "End of line not blank" error.
[7f6250a]1087
[e34bebc]1088  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
1089    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
[3dfffa2]1090
[e34bebc]1091  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
1092    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
[07beaa4]1093
[e34bebc]1094  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
1095    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
1096    include that character in the token reported.
[3dfffa2]1097
[e34bebc]1098  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
1099    first item.
[07beaa4]1100
[e34bebc]1101* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
[07beaa4]1102
[e34bebc]1103* dump3d:
[07beaa4]1104
[e34bebc]1105  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
1106    info from 3d files in scripts.
[07beaa4]1107
[e34bebc]1108  + Add --show-dates option.
[07beaa4]1109
[e34bebc]1110  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
[07beaa4]1111
[e34bebc]1112  + Report the data style of legs.
[da9d788]1113
[e34bebc]1114  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
1115
1116  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
[3dfffa2]1117
1118* Test suite:
1119
1120  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
1121    expected output so it passes reliably.
1122
[e34bebc]1123  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
1124    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
1125
[07beaa4]1126  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
1127    for more.
1128
[e34bebc]1129* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
1130  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
1131  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
[3dfffa2]1132
1133* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
1134  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
1135
1136* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
1137  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
1138
[e34bebc]1139* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
[665183c]1140  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
[e34bebc]1141  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
1142  settings.
1143
1144* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
1145  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
1146  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
1147  set correctly.
1148
1149* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
1150  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
1151  them to translate.
1152
[07beaa4]1153* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
1154  close to complete.
[3dfffa2]1155
1156* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
1157
[07beaa4]1158* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
1159
[e34bebc]1160* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
1161
[c575465]1162Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
[b081031]1163
1164* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
1165
1166* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
1167  package (ticket#35).
1168
1169* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
1170  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
1171  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
1172
1173* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
1174  Kahler.
1175
1176* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
[c575465]1177  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
1178  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
1179  libproj and build survex with:
1180
1181      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1182      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
[b081031]1183
1184* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
1185
1186* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
1187
1188* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
1189  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
1190  file".
1191
[685116f]1192Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
1193
1194* aven:
1195
1196  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
1197
1198  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
1199    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
1200
1201  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
1202
1203  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
1204
1205  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
1206    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
1207
1208* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
1209  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
1210  error early on).
1211
1212* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
1213  the man page source as well as in the filename.
1214
[f15ca67f]1215Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
1216
1217* aven:
1218
1219  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
1220    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
1221    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
1222    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
1223
1224  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
1225    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
1226
1227  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
1228
1229  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
1230
1231  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
1232
1233* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
1234
[5b9942e]1235Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
1236
1237* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
1238
1239* (Mac OS X version):
1240
1241  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
1242
1243  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
1244
1245  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
1246    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
1247
1248  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
1249
1250* aven:
1251
1252  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
1253
1254  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
1255
1256    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
1257      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
1258      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
1259      character.
1260
1261    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
1262      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
1263      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
1264      and two in a few cases.
1265
1266    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
1267      8 pixels.
1268
1269  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
1270    draw crosses.
1271
[3ea0178]1272  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
1273    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
1274    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
1275    is the start or end of a tube.
1276
[5b9942e]1277  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
1278    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
1279
1280  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
1281    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
1282    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
1283
[3ea0178]1284* extend:
1285
1286  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
[5b9942e]1287
[3ea0178]1288  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
1289    which means "no info").
1290
1291* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
1292  was no longer used - it certainly is!
1293
1294* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
1295  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
1296  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
1297  current character set.
[5b9942e]1298
[3ea0178]1299* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
[5b9942e]1300
1301* Test suite:
1302
1303  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
1304
1305  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
1306
[94960ad]1307Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
1308
1309* aven:
1310
1311  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
1312    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
1313    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
1314    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
1315    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
1316    usable format.
1317
1318  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
1319    files.  (ticket#26)
1320
1321  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
1322    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
1323
[53f8a93]1324  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
1325    using lines.
1326
[94960ad]1327  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
1328    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
1329
1330  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
1331    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
1332    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
1333    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
1334
1335  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
1336    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
1337    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
1338
1339  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
1340    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
1341    in 1.2.1.
1342
[9704252]1343Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
[e3c58c3]1344
1345* Translation updates for US English.
1346
1347* aven:
1348
1349  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
1350    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
1351
1352  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
1353
1354  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
1355    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
1356    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
1357    visually similar to the survey legs.
1358
1359  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
1360    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
1361
[9704252]1362  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
1363    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
1364    does still provide some useful information).
1365
1366  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
1367    a depth band boundary.
[e3c58c3]1368
1369  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
[9704252]1370    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
1371    full-screen mode).
[e3c58c3]1372
1373  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
1374    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
1375    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
1376    are a little better, though still not perfect.
1377
1378  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
1379    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
1380
1381  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
1382    that station.
1383
1384  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
1385    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
1386
1387  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
1388    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
1389    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
[9704252]1390    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
1391    a case as it is a bug).
[e3c58c3]1392
[9704252]1393  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
1394    invalidated on window width or height changes.
[e3c58c3]1395
1396  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
1397    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
1398    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
1399    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
1400
[9704252]1401  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
1402    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
1403    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
1404    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
1405    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
1406    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
1407    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
[e3c58c3]1408
1409  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
1410    similarly for other compass points.
1411
1412  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
1413    info in the "About" dialog.
1414
1415  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
1416    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
1417
1418  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
1419    as well as still working with older versions.
1420
1421  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
1422    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
1423
1424  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
1425    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
1426    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
1427    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
1428    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
1429
1430  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
1431    nicer and make better use of the available space.
1432
1433  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
1434    dialog.
1435
1436  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
1437    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
1438
1439  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
1440    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
1441
[9704252]1442  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
1443
[e3c58c3]1444  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
1445
1446  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
1447    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
1448    being pressed and toggle full screen.
1449
1450* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
1451  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
1452
1453* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
1454
1455* More messages are now available to be translated.
1456
1457* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
1458  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
1459
1460* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
1461
1462* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
1463  sudo for installing on Unix.
1464
1465* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
1466  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
1467
1468* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
1469  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
1470
1471* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1472
[120c1c6]1473Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
[b4ac7007]1474
1475* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
1476  English.
1477
[9cfcb3f]1478* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
1479  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
1480  case.
1481
1482* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
1483  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
1484  these into Survex's .msg format.
1485
[b4ac7007]1486* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
1487  an actual command).
1488
[9cfcb3f]1489* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
1490  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
1491  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
1492  recurrence of that).
1493
[b4ac7007]1494* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
1495  than /usr/doc/survex.
1496
1497* aven:
1498
[120c1c6]1499  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
1500
[9cfcb3f]1501  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
1502    nicer at larger sizes.
1503
[b4ac7007]1504  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
1505    with GLX >= 1.3.
1506
1507  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
1508
1509  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
[4095cc0]1510    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
1511    required libraries set up for building releases.
[b4ac7007]1512
1513  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
1514
1515  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
1516
1517  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
1518    rendered with icons on some platforms.
1519
[9cfcb3f]1520  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
1521    ISO8859-1).
1522
1523  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
1524    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
1525
1526  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
1527    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
1528
[b4ac7007]1529* cavern:
1530
1531  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
1532    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
1533    fatal error!
1534
[9cfcb3f]1535  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
1536    format to output.  (ticket#21)
1537
1538* img library:
1539
1540  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
1541    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
1542
[b4ac7007]1543* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
[120c1c6]1544  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
[b4ac7007]1545
[8f9b0b6d]1546Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]1547
1548* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
1549  Portuguese, and US English.
1550
1551* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]1552  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]1553
1554* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
1555  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
1556
1557* img.c:
1558
1559  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
1560
1561  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
1562
1563* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
1564
[8f9b0b6d]1565* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
1566  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
1567  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
1568  translated.
1569
[f5e3521]1570Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]1571
1572* aven:
1573
1574  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
1575    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
1576
1577  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
1578    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
1579    addresses ticket#12.
1580
1581  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
1582    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
1583    consistent shape.
1584
1585  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
1586    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
1587    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
1588    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
1589
1590  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
1591    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
1592
1593  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
1594
1595  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
1596    more places.
1597
1598  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]1599    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
1600
1601* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
1602
1603* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
1604  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
1605
1606* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]1607
1608* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
1609  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
1610  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
1611  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
1612  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
1613  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
1614
1615* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
1616  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
1617  redirecting to it.
1618
1619* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
1620  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
1621  I/O).
1622
1623* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
1624  headers.
1625
1626* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
1627
1628* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
1629  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
1630
1631* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
1632
[f9473ab]1633Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
1634
1635* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
1636
1637* aven:
1638
1639  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
1640    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
1641    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
1642    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
1643
1644  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
1645
1646  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
1647    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
1648    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
1649    a number.
1650
1651  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
1652    log window.
1653
1654  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
1655    various cases.
1656
1657  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
1658    (ticket#9)
1659
1660  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
1661    namespace with its own "Point" class.
1662
1663  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
1664    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
1665
1666  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
1667
1668  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
1669    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
1670
1671* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
1672  give them before.
1673
1674* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
1675  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
1676  point looking for them now.
1677
1678* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
1679  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
1680  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
1681  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
1682
1683* manual:
1684
1685  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
1686
1687  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
1688    (change taken from 1.0).
1689
1690* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
1691
[0bd49eb]1692Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]1693
1694* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
1695
[739b92c]1696* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]1697
1698* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]1699
1700* aven:
1701
[90d0d71]1702  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
1703
1704  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
1705    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
1706    seem to be Unicode now).
1707
1708  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
1709    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
1710
[e4bfd2f]1711  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
1712    text on the survey pane:
1713
1714    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
1715
1716    - Character spacing is improved.
1717
1718    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]1719
1720  + "About" dialog:
1721
1722    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
1723      bug reporting.
1724
1725    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
1726      modern gfx card.
1727
1728    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
1729
1730  + Processing .svx files:
1731
1732    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]1733
[739b92c]1734    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
1735      than opening a separate frame for it.
1736
[90d0d71]1737    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
1738
1739    - Fix small memory leak.
1740
1741  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
1742    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
1743    such a name.
1744
1745  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
1746
[e4bfd2f]1747  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
1748    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
1749    invocations.
1750
[90d0d71]1751  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
1752
1753  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
1754
[739b92c]1755  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
1756
[90d0d71]1757* Documentation:
1758
[e4bfd2f]1759  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
1760
1761  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
1762    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
1763    together isn't very useful.
1764
[90d0d71]1765  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
1766
1767  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
1768    the FSF website.
1769
1770  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
1771    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
1772    the source code.
1773
1774* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
1775  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]1776
[e4bfd2f]1777* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
1778  package from the source tarball.
1779
[739b92c]1780* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
1781  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
1782
[2e12f8c]1783Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]1784
1785* aven:
1786
[3db0798]1787  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
1788
[5940815]1789  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
1790
[6b2113d]1791  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
1792    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
1793    names/crosses).
1794
[920b066]1795Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
1796
1797* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
1798
[99d8798]1799* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
1800
[920b066]1801* aven:
[78c67a6]1802
[920b066]1803  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]1804
[920b066]1805  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]1806
[920b066]1807  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
1808    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]1809
[920b066]1810  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
1811    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]1812
[920b066]1813  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]1814
[920b066]1815  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
1816    depth colouring.
[99d8798]1817
[920b066]1818  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]1819
[920b066]1820  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]1821
[920b066]1822  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]1823
[920b066]1824  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]1825
[920b066]1826  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]1827
[920b066]1828  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]1829
[920b066]1830  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]1831
[920b066]1832  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]1833
[920b066]1834  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
1835    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]1836
[920b066]1837  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]1838
[920b066]1839  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
1840    default.
[99d8798]1841
[920b066]1842* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
1843  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]1844
[920b066]1845* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
1846  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]1847
[920b066]1848* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]1849
[920b066]1850* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]1851
[920b066]1852Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]1853
1854* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
1855  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
1856  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
1857  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
1858  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
1859
1860* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
1861  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
1862  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]1863
[ac3f376]1864* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
1865  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
1866  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
1867
1868* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
1869  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
1870  allowed).
1871
1872* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
1873
1874* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1875
1876* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1877
[920b066]1878Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]1879
1880* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
1881  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
1882
1883* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
1884  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
1885  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
1886
1887* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
1888  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
1889  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
1890  the new "*data passage" style.
1891
1892* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
1893  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
1894
1895* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
1896  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
1897  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
1898  some cases.
1899
1900* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
1901  with no survey loaded.
1902
1903* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
1904
1905* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
1906  loaded a survey.
1907
1908* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
1909
1910* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
1911
1912* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
1913  doesn't exist.
1914
1915* Updated French and Italian translations.
1916
1917* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]1918  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
1919
[6a2594be]1920* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
1921  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
1922  update their copy).
1923
1924* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
1925  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
1926  trying to compile).
1927
[920b066]1928Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]1929
[c988ae4]1930* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
1931  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
1932
[9577fcc]1933* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
1934  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
1935  has been disabled.
1936
[ecf2d23]1937* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
1938  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
1939  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
1940  time.
1941
[d1628e8e]1942* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
1943  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
1944  highlighted stations.
1945
[e67ed1b]1946* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
1947
[3ddd351]1948* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
1949  the tilt from plan to elevation.
1950
[c988ae4]1951* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
1952  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
1953
1954* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
1955  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
1956  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
1957
1958* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
1959  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
1960
1961* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
1962
[84f1ed1]1963* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
1964
[a884696]1965* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
1966
[9fe7af4f]1967* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
1968  run by an unprivileged user.
1969
1970* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
1971  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
1972  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
1973
1974* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
1975  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
1976
[cd39f67]1977* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
1978
[afffec4]1979* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]1980  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]1981
[38a192d]1982* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
1983  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
1984
[5892e08]1985* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
1986  if it isn't.
1987
[879e9c3]1988* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
1989  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
1990
[c8f929b]1991* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
1992  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
1993
1994* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
1995  reset to default view as well).
1996
1997* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
1998  empty.
1999
2000* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
2001  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
2002
[9ad92cc]2003* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]2004  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
2005  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]2006
2007* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
2008  and non-zero width lines.
2009
2010* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
2011  was turned on.
2012
2013* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
2014  not always being fully written.
2015
[920b066]2016Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]2017
2018* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
2019  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
2020  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
2021  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]2022
[8add4c9]2023* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
2024  with MS Windows).
2025
[9f524ee]2026* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
2027  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
2028  several surveys in the same directory).
2029
[185d793]2030* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]2031  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]2032
[3515947]2033* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
2034
[1235f9b]2035* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
2036  moved off a station.
2037
[4299674]2038* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]2039  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]2040
[60dbe70]2041* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
2042
[125c9ea]2043* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
2044  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
2045
[ec58e3d3]2046* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
2047  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
2048  dialogs.
2049
[8add4c9]2050* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
2051  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
2052
[6662d02]2053* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
2054  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]2055  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]2056
[b65c13f]2057* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
2058  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
2059  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
2060
[17cce5f]2061* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
2062  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
2063
[affaeee]2064* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
2065
[618b01f]2066* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
2067
[920b066]2068Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]2069
2070* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
2071  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
2072
[b88b171]2073* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
2074  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
2075  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
2076  3d file.
2077
[7e01c87]2078* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
2079
2080* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
2081
2082* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
2083  Instead turn off depth colouring.
2084
[8ea82aa]2085* aven: Export as HPGL added.
2086
[887c26e]2087* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
2088  Martin Green).
2089
[7c29c976]2090* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
2091  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
2092  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
2093
[7e01c87]2094* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]2095
[7e01c87]2096* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
2097  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
2098
2099* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
2100  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
2101  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
2102  of everything else.
2103
2104* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
2105  presentation icons.
2106
2107* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
2108  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]2109
[b46bf92]2110* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
2111
[796d7bf]2112* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
2113
[7e01c87]2114* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
2115
2116* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
2117
[b88b171]2118* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
2119  language to use for messages.
2120
[7c29c976]2121* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
2122  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
2123
[8ea82aa]2124* Removed old printer drivers.
2125
[7e01c87]2126* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
2127  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]2128
[920b066]2129Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]2130
2131* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
2132
[4ba80e0]2133* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
2134
2135* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
2136  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
2137
[95ce35f]2138* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
2139  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]2140
[95ce35f]2141* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
2142
[cd78148]2143* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
2144  underground legs is toggled.
2145
[f5627353]2146* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
2147  attached to the previous data.
2148
[dfe4a520]2149* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
2150  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
2151  them.
2152
[920b066]2153Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]2154
2155* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
2156
2157* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
2158  continental European countries).
2159
2160* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
2161  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
2162  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
2163
2164* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
2165
2166* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
2167  they're needed.
2168
2169* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
2170
2171* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
2172
2173* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
2174
2175* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
2176  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
2177  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
2178
2179* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
2180
[920b066]2181Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]2182
2183* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
2184
2185* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
2186
2187* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
2188
2189* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
2190
2191* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
2192
2193* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
2194
2195* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
2196  when there's a presentation loaded.
2197
2198* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
2199  in cave view.
2200
2201* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
2202
2203* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
2204  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
2205  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
2206
2207* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
2208  filename for file history and window title.
2209
2210* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
2211  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
2212  only needed with GTK1.2.
2213
2214* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
2215
2216* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
2217
2218* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
2219
2220* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
2221
2222Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]2223
2224* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
2225  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
2226  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
2227
2228* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
2229  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
2230
2231* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
2232  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
2233  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
2234  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]2235
[0e558e5]2236* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]2237
2238* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
2239  with --help and --version.
2240
2241* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
2242  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]2243  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]2244  Fixed all these problems.
2245
2246* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
2247  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
2248  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
2249
2250* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]2251  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
2252  sources.
[8faa5d8]2253
[0e558e5]2254* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]2255
2256* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
2257
2258* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
2259  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
2260
2261* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
2262  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
2263  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
2264  animating.
2265
2266* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
2267
2268* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
2269
2270* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
2271  to this branch.
2272
2273* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
2274
2275  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
2276
2277  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
2278
2279  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
2280
2281* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]2282
[8faa5d8]2283* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
2284  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
2285
2286* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
2287
2288* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]2289  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]2290
2291* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
2292
2293* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
2294  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
2295  for anyone building from CVS).
2296
2297* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
2298
[4855072]2299* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]2300
2301* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
2302
2303* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
2304
[0e558e5]2305* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
2306  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]2307  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
2308
2309* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
2310  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
2311
2312* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
2313
2314* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]2315  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
2316  loaded).
[8faa5d8]2317
2318* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
2319
[920b066]2320Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]2321
2322* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]2323  startup.
[a7aa27d9]2324
2325* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
2326  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
2327
[920b066]2328Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]2329
[91e416e]2330* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
2331  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
2332  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]2333
[91e416e]2334* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
2335  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
2336  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]2337
[91e416e]2338* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
2339  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
2340  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]2341
[91e416e]2342* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]2343
[0580c6a]2344* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
2345  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
2346
[4261983]2347* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
2348  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
2349
2350* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
2351  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]2352
[f80077a]2353* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]2354
[6abab84]2355* aven: Perspective view.
2356
[91e416e]2357* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]2358
[91e416e]2359* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
2360  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]2361
[1690fa9]2362* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
2363  and load/save/run them.
2364
[0580c6a]2365* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
2366
[045e2af]2367* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
2368
[c60062d]2369* aven: Depth fogging option.
2370
[0580c6a]2371* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
2372
2373* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
2374
[f433fda]2375* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
2376  showing the surface legs.
2377
[0580c6a]2378* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
