3Changes in 1.4.17 (2025-03-??):
4
5* aven: Add support for exaggerating Z.  You can now set a Z scale factor
6  from 0.1 to 10.0 via a new widget on the toolbar.  Fixes #49.
7
8* aven: The station search feature now uses the standard search
9  widget on GTK 3.6 or later and on macOS.  There's now a placeholder
10  text shown when there's no search to make it clearer what this
11  widget is for.
12
13* aven: Fix the output encoding of `aven --help`, `--version`, etc.
14  Previously these were always encoded as UTF-8 which is usually right
15  on a modern system, but the terminal could be using a different
16  encoding.
17
18* aven: Reduce startup overhead a little when the terminal has a UTF-8
19  locale (which is now the default on most Linux distros).
20
21* cavern: Fix an "assertion failed" error in some situations when
22  equating to a fixed point.  This bug was introduced by changes
23  in 1.4.13.  Fixes #143, reported by Juan Corrin.
24
25* cavern: The syntax of *copyright commands is now checked and a warning
26  issued for problems.  The information in the command is still not yet used.
27
28* cavern: The syntax of *team commands is now checked and a warning
29  issued for problems.  The information in the command is still not yet used.
30
31* cavern: Stop reporting node stats.  These are kind of interesting, but
32  with the widespread use of Disto-X and similar devices which can easily
33  shoot multiple splay legs from each station means the number of larger order
34  nodes has increased and this information is now quite verbose and any utility
35  it had has substantially declined.  If these statistics are still wanted then
36  they could make a reappearance in the future in aven, with splays excluded
37  when counting the number of legs at each station.  Fixes #86, reported by
38  Wookey.
39
40* cavern: Fix wrong "unused fixed point" warning with *solve.
41
42* cavern: Fix double counting of stations which are referenced both before and
43  after *solve.
44
45* cavern: Suppress loop and component counts if *solve is used.  Our component
46  count was often wrong in this case but this looks very hard to fix.  These
47  counts are not vital so better to omit than report wrong values.
48
49* cavern: The "Equating two equal fixed points" warning now lists the
50  stations on the same order as they are in the `.svx` file which
51  seems clearer.
52
53* Speed up reading and writing of .3d files.  The time to read a large .3d file
54  and just count the stations and legs was more than halved by this change.
55
56* Testsuite: Add proper test coverage for `*ref`.
57
58* Simplify handling of errors loading the messages file.  The error
59  messages for this case are now stored as separate ASCII strings in
60  the executables which reduces the startup overhead a little as we
61  no longer need to scan them and potentially reencode them.
62
63* Documentation: Add details of warning about future dates in *date.
64
65* Merge updates to Russian translation from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
66
67* img library: The img struct's filename_opened member was always NULL when
68  used outside of Survex (and set but never actually used inside of Survex)
69  so it has been removed.  If you are referencing it in your code then instead
70  use the filename you passed to img_open_survey() when opening the file.
71
72* Documentation: Added new manual chapter on the img library.
73
74* Documentation: Improve comments document API in img.h.
75
76* Portability: Eliminate unintended use of C++17 feature (static_assert
77  with only one argument).
78
79* Portability: Avoid compiler warnings/errors in getopt code by properly
80  declaring getenv().
81
[a6a956a]82Changes in 1.4.16 (2025-02-21):
83
84* aven: Improve "Colour by Survey".  Surveys whose names only differ in the
85  final character tended to get visually similar colours (often
86  indistinguishable), but now should get very different colours.  Reported by
87  Eric C. Landgraf and Patrick Warren.
88
89* aven: Add "Find" item to right-click menu on survey tree which triggers a
90  search for the survey or station that was right-clicked on which highlights
91  with a yellow blob on each station, like double-clicking used to before
92  1.2.36.  Requested by Patrick Warren.
93
94* cavern: Fix calculation of convergence which could incorrectly give zero
95  with some PROJ versions < 9.3.0.  Unclear exactly which versions are
96  affected, but seen with PROJ 8.2 and can't affect PROJ >= 9.3.0.  Reported by
97  Eric C. Landgraf.
98
99* cavern: Report approximate true grid convergence range which provides a way
100  to assess if the representative location(s) specified by `*declination auto`
101  are suitable.  Fixes #141, reported by Eric C. Landgraf
102
103* cavern: Support Compass 'C' shot flag.  In Compass this causes flagged legs
104  to not be subject to loop closure.  Survex now sets the SDs of such legs to
105  1mm, so flagged legs can still move slightly during loop closure.  Previously
106  Survex ignore this flag entirely.
107
108* Document Microsoft Windows version requirements.
109
110* Enable SSE2 by default on 32-bit x86.  Intel CPUs without SSE2 were
111  discontinued ~18 years ago so it seems very unlikely anyone is actually still
112  using one for Survex.  We keep hitting testcase failures due to excess
113  precision from 387 FP instructions, and the time spent adjusting testcases to
114  avoid these would be better spent on new features, etc.
115
116* Tighten up charset name parsing a little.
117
118* Merge updates to Russian translation from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
119
120* Various minor improvements to documentation.
121
122* Various minor improvements to test coverage.
123
[3ca3814]124Changes in 1.4.15 (2024-12-24):
125
126* aven: Avoid infinite redraw loop if GDAL gives an error loading geodata to
127  overlay.
128
129* aven: Turn off full-screen mode bodges when running on macOS 10.7 or later.
130  Fixes #110
131
132* aven/survexport: (Microsoft Windows version): Enable GDAL support so you
133  can now overlay geodata (in aven) and export shapefiles.
134
135* cavern: Remove now-bogus assertion which can fire when there's a survey not
136  connected to any fixed points (since 1.4.10 made unconnected data a warning
137  instead of an error).  Reported by Philip Balister.
138
139* (Microsoft Windows version): Strip debug data from .exe and .dll files which
140  reduces the installer size by around 5%.
141
142* Testsuite: Normalise -0.00 in DXF bounds too to avoid possible test failures
143  on x86.
144
[7acaf87]145Changes in 1.4.14 (2024-12-11):
146
147* aven/survexport: Add support for exporting shapefiles.  This requires GDAL so
148  currently isn't enabled in the Microsoft Windows build.  Thanks to Eric C.
149  Landgraf for testing.  Fixes #87.
150
151* cavern: If *date with just year is followed by a blank, cavern expects a date
152  range and gives an error if another date doesn't follow.  Bug was introduced
153  in 1.4.13.
154
155* aven/cavern: Use ′ and ″ for feet and inches.
156
157* Documentation: Add some details on how to handle Toporobot "serie" station
158  naming.
159
[07e129c]160* Updates to Bulgarian, Hungarian, Russian and Slovak translations.
[7acaf87]161
162* Testsuite: Adjust lollipop testcase to pass on i386 where excess precision
163  was changing which station was reported as the southernmost of multiple
164  candidate stations).
165
[baf03ba]166Changes in 1.4.13 (2024-12-01):
[91f3c4c]167
168* aven:
169
170  + Don't show crosses on anonymous stations since they just clutter up the
171    display (especially for anonymous splays).  Suggested by Andrew Atkinson.
172
173  + Fix 1.4.10 regression in plotting of station names.  Each anonymous station
174    was blocking out a small rectangle which no actual station name could
175    overlap.  Reported by Špela Borko.
176
177  + Reduced start-up time by only initialising GDAL if we have overlays to
178    show.
179
180  + (Microsoft Windows version): Avoid recurring "GDAL support not enabled in
181    this build" message box.  This message is now only shown once if you try to
182    add an overlay.  Reported by Špela Borko.
183
184* cavern:
185
[baf03ba]186  + Update to use v14 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
187    This was issued in November 2024 and should give slightly more accurate
188    declinations for surveys made since 2015.  Fixes #137.
189
[91f3c4c]190  + The component count was wrong in some cases, and we calculate the number
191    of loops using this component count, so the loop count would also be wrong
192    by the same amount in these cases.
193
[282afeb]194  + The component count and loop count are now reported when there are
195    unconnected survey stations.
196
[54a3adc]197  + *date now supports ISO format dates.  Fixes #96, reported by Milosch.
[baf03ba]198
[54a3adc]199  + *date now supports date types "surveyed" and "explored" (existing usage
[baf03ba]200    without an explicit type is interpreted as "surveyed").
201
[91f3c4c]202  + If the output directory isn't writable or doesn't exist we would complain
203    that we can't create the .err file - now we try to create the .3d file
204    first so complain about that instead which seems more helpful.  Reported by
205    Eric C. Landgraf.
206
207  + When inventing a fixed point we now avoid picking a fixed point which is
208    only attached to nosurvey legs if there's another option.  The code was
209    already meant to do this but it was buggy and we lacked a testcase for this
210    situation.
211
212  + Survey network reduction now finds some delta-star opportunities which were
213    being overlooked.  This allows more complicated networks to be reduced
214    further so fewer and/or smaller matrices need solving, which is faster.
215
216  + Survey network reduction now handles a "lollipop" with a fixed stick end
217    specially which is a little bit faster.  A more visible consequence is
218    fewer "Solving one equation..." messages when solving a complex survey
219    network.
220
221  + Survey network reduction now makes use of articulating legs to split up the
222    problem a little more, so we will often now solve more but smaller matrices
223    which should be faster.
224
225  + Assigning matrix row numbers now identifies equated stations in a slightly
226    more efficient way.
227
[baf03ba]228* dump3d: Provide a way to get ISO format dates output.
229
230* Documentation:
231
232  + Improve documentation of *date in the manual.  When a partial date is
233    specified (just a year, or a year and month only) the documentation claimed
234    the centre of that year or month is used but actually this case is treated
235    as a date range covering the whole year or month (respectively).  The end
236    result is effectively the same as what was previously documented though
237    since the centre of a date range is used as the date for calculating
238    automatic declinations and is the date used by aven.
239
[91f3c4c]240* Test suite:
241
242  + Adjust hpglexport testcase to avoid i386 excess precision causing one of
243    the HPGL coordinates to differ by one from its value calculated without
244    excess precision.
245
246* Assorted translation updates.
247
[b9c665b]248Changes in 1.4.12 (2024-10-23):
249
250* aven:
251
252  + (Microsoft Windows version): Geodata overlays are (hopefully temporarily)
253    no longer available in the pre-built version of Survex installed by the
254    Microsoft Windows installer.  We use the GDAL library to load them and
255    there's a hard to debug problem during DLL initialisation somewhere in its
256    dependency tree.  If you really need geodata overlays, the 1.4.9 installer
257    still works.  Thanks to Wookey for extensive testing to investigate the
258    problem, and to everyone else who reported this.
259
260* cavern:
261
262  + A leg with the same station as from and to is now only a warning in
263    Compass data.  Compass itself seems to quietly ignore such legs, but
264    they seem worth warning about.  In native Survex data this is still
265    an error.
266
267  + Short survey and station names are now stored without an extra memory
268    allocation.  On a 64-bit platform (most modern computers) we can store
269    name components up to 7 characters in this way; on a 32-bit platform
270    up to 3 characters.  On a large dataset which needs large matrices
271    solving this reduces cavern's memory usage by 3.5MB (~4.5%).  It's
272    also fractionally faster (but only ~0.05% which is not normally even
273    measurable).
274
275  + Assigning matrix row numbers to stations is now faster and allocates
276    less memory.
277
278* (Microsoft Windows version): The Microsoft Windows installer is now
279  named `survex-microsoft-windows-1.4.12.exe`.  The old name was
280  `survex-win32-1.4.11.exe` but the "win32" is now misleading as it's been a
281  64-bit build since 1.4.9.  Reported by Wookey.
282
283* Testsuite:
284
285  + dump3d.tst: Add tests of img library's survey filtering.
286
287  + cavern.tst: Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in JSON test output before
288    comparing with expected output.  We can get -0.00 on x86 due to excess
289    precision.
290
291* img library:
292
293  + Survey filtering now works correctly for files which use a survey level
294    separator other than `.`.  Patch https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/14
295    from Thomas Holder.
296
297  + Reading a v7 or earlier .3d format extended elevation with survey filtering
298    was failing to set is_extended_elevation.
299
[0249518]300Changes in 1.4.11 (2024-08-14):
[92debc5]301
302* aven:
303
304  + Add imperial scales for export and printing.  Fixes #132, reported by Eric
305    C. Landgraf.
306
307* aven/survexport:
308
309  + HPGL export now uses pen 2 for splays and pen 3 for surface legs.  Partly
310    addresses #60.
311
312  + HPGL export now supports scaling (previous the scale was always
313    1:40000).
314
[0249518]315  + KML export now distinguishes surface legs and splays using different
316    line styles.  Partly addresses #60.
317
[92debc5]318  + Remove Skencil export support.  The last release of Skencil was in 2005.
319    There was an attempt to revive the project in 2010, but that didn't lead to
320    another release and seems to have petered out.  No current Linux distro (or
321    other package system) seems to have Skencil packages, and the current git
322    version still appears to require Python 2 which is being phased out.
323
324* cavern:
325
326  + Support `*data ignore` to allow ignoring a block of survey data lines.
327    Closes #114, reported by Alastair Gott.
328
329  + Report error for bad final reading in `*data` command (previously such a
330    bad reading was quietly ignored).
331
332  + If the survey in `*end` doesn't match that in `*begin` the location of
333    that `*begin` is now reported as well - the second message here is new
334    for example:
335
336     badbegin.svx:6:8: error: Survey name doesn't match BEGIN
337      *end   bar
338             ^~~
339     badbegin.svx:4:13: info: Corresponding BEGIN was here
340      *begin      foo
341                  ^~~
342
343  + Now shows a context line for a reading which was on the previous line,
344    which can happen for interleaved data styles.
345
346  + Warn when a token is not followed by a blank, comment or end of line.
347    This is an unintentional tokenisation oddity which has been present
348    for a really long time.  We don't want to break files that rely on this
349    (even if they likely only do accidentally) so emit a warning rather than
350    an error.
351
352    This warning can easily be eliminated by adding a space where indicated,
353    which will work with old and new Survex versions.  Fixes #135.
354
355  + Errors and warnings which report an unexpected token now report a
356    contiguous span of letters and numbers rather than just letters in cases
357    where a number can't follow (which is the majority of cases).
358
359  + If `*require` isn't satisfied, the `*require` line is now shown for
360    context (especially helpful if there's a comment after the command noting
361    the reason for the requirement, as we now suggest in the manual).
362
363  + `*require` version parsing improved - spaces are no longer tolerated in
364    a version number and trailing junk after the version number is now
365    handled more consistently.
366
367  + Fixed several situations in which the highlighting of the context for a
368    diagnostic was off by a small number of columns.
369
370  + Optimise building of matrix during network solving.
371
[0249518]372  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files:
[92debc5]373
374    - After reporting an error for an unsupported datum, we now set the datum
375      to WGS84 to prevent triggering further errors from code which tries to
376      use the datum.
377
378    - Parse Walls WPJ commands as alphanumeric rather than alphabetic tokens,
379      which better matches how Walls parses them.  This only makes a difference
380      in the error message when we don't recognise a WPJ command.
381
382* Documentation:
383
384  + Note `feet` are international feet and how to select a different
385    definition in `*units` docs.
386
387  + Document `grads` are also known as "neugrads" and "gons" in `*units` docs.
388
389* Assorted translation updates.
390
391* testsuite:
392
393  + Fix bug in normalisation of `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before
394    comparing with expected output.
395
396* Update and improve vim syntax highlighting:
397
398  + `*cartesian` added
[0249518]399
[92debc5]400  + `*data ignore` added
[0249518]401
[92debc5]402  + `mils` units now highlighted as deprecated
[0249518]403
[92debc5]404  + `UP` and `DOWN` are no longer highlighted anywhere in a command
[0249518]405
[92debc5]406  + `U`, `D`, `LEVEL`, `-V`, `+V`, `.`, `..` and `...` now highlighted in data
407    lines
[0249518]408
[92debc5]409  + Repeated `NOT` in `*flags` is now highlighted as an error
[0249518]410
[92debc5]411  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to not flag an error just
412    because there's a comment after the filename
[0249518]413
[92debc5]414  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to work when there's
415    whitespace between `*` and `include`
416
[63a37be]417Changes in 1.4.10 (2024-08-05):
[6082f2a]418
419* aven:
420
421  + Use a fixed rotation rate for rotating the view to North, South, East or
422    West (shortcut keys `N`, `S`, `E` and `W`).  We were using the same
423    variable rate which auto-rotation does for this case, but really these are
424    just animations to help the user see the change that's happening, so a
425    fixed rate makes more sense (and is what tilting to plan or elevation
426    does).  The new fixed rotation rate for this is double what the default
427    variable rate was, which means the longest rotation (e.g. from S to N)
428    takes 3 seconds rather than 6.
429
430* aven/survexport:
431
432  + Fix syntax of shot flags in PLT export (incorrect since introduced in
433    1.4.6).
434
435  + Map Survex duplicate flag to `L` shot flag in PLT export.
436
437  + Invent shorter names for anonymous stations in PLT export.  The PLT file
438    format documentation says station names can be up to 12 characters, but the
439    ones we generated were longer than this which is liable to trip up
440    consumers of this format that only allow for the specified length.
441    We now generate names using a sequential counter with a two character
442    prefix so they should fit in the 12 character limit for any cave
443    survey.
444
445  + 3D export now includes all leg and station flags.
446
447* cavern:
448
449  + Unconnected survey stations are now handled as a warning, whereas
450    previously this was an error.  This is necessary when processing Walls data
451    where it seems having hanging surveys is the norm, and Walls itself only
452    warns about them.
453
454    The support is also enabled for native Survex data since it allows viewing
455    the connected parts of a survey with missing connections without having to
456    comment out the unconnected parts (and then remember to fully uncomment
457    once connections are surveyed).  Fixes #16, reported by Duncan Collis.
458
459    Currently the component count and loop count are not shown in this case.
460
461  + Avoid multiple reports of an unconnected survey station.  This could happen
462    in some cases where a group of equated stations had more than four legs
463    connected to it.
464
465  + Fix missing report of unconnected survey station.  We aim to report at
466    least one station in every unconnected piece of survey, but if a piece had
467    been simplified to a single station which was anonymous (e.g. a disto splay
468    shot) then we wouldn't report anything for that piece.  Now we find the
469    traverse that was attached to it and report the next station along that
470    traverse.
471
472  + Report file and line location each unconnected survey station.
473
474  + This warning now says either `*entrance` or `*export` depending on which
475    it actually was:
476
477      Station "bar.1" referred to by *entrance or *export but never used
478
479  + Fix several cases of mishandling comments without blanks before them:
480
481    - After an anonymous station.
482
483    - After an ignored reading.  The `ignore` would incorrectly also skip the
484      comment character and any characters which followed up to the next blank
485      or end of line.
486
487    - In a `*alias` command.
488
489    - Diagnostic highlighting could continue into a comment.
490
491  + New `*cartesian` command which supports different orientations of
492    `cartesian` style data.
493
[b49bd46]494  + Anonymous stations are now supported in `cartesian` style data.
495
[6082f2a]496  + `*fix a reference` (without any coordinates) is now an error.  The
497    `reference` token provides a way to have a list of known fixed points which
498    are not expected to all be currently used, while omitting the coordinates
499    provides a way to specify a point to arbitrarily fix rather than rely on
500    cavern picking one.  Allowing both together doesn't really make sense.
501
502  + Improve check for 180° backclino to suppress the warning about a compass
503    reading on a plumbed leg (introduced in 1.4.8) to allow a small tolerance
504    on the value.  Previously the check wasn't working on x86 Linux for
505    example.
506
[b49bd46]507  + When showing a line as the location of a diagnostic we now render any
508    tab character as a single space which means the `^~~~~` highlight length
509    is now correct even when the highlighted part contains tabs.  This only
510    affects use from a terminal as the highlight was already correctly handled
511    when viewing the log in aven.
512
[9fcaec0]513  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files (thanks to Eric
514    C. Landgraf and Joe for a lot of great feedback from testing with large
515    datasets):
[6082f2a]516
[b49bd46]517    - The `RECT=` option is now fully supported.
[6082f2a]518
519    - Fix `#DATE` with an active `.REF` to act like `DECL=`.  This matches what
[9fcaec0]520      the documentation says and what Walls seems to actually do.
[6082f2a]521
522    - Allow completely omitting the clino on a wall shot (with `ORDER=DAV` or
[9fcaec0]523      `ORDER=ADV`).
[6082f2a]524
525    - Resolve WPJ `.PATH` relative to innermost containing book.
526
527    - Handle an empty Walls station name.  Walls allows a station with an
528      explicit prefix to have an empty name, e.g. `PEP:`.  The Walls
529      documentation doesn't mention this, though it also doesn't explicitly say
530      the name can't be empty.  This quirk seems unlikely to be intentionally
531      used and Survex doesn't allow an empty station name, so we issue a
532      warning and use the name `empty name` (which has a space in, so can't
533      collide with a real Walls station name which can't contain a space) - so
[9fcaec0]534      `PEP:` in Walls becomes `PEP.empty name` in Survex.
[6082f2a]535
[9fcaec0]536    - Flag stations with explicit Walls prefix as exported.
[6082f2a]537
538    - Fix setting empty Walls macro with a comment right after it.
539
540    - Walls quietly ignores junk after the numeric argument in `TYPEAB=`,
541      `TYPEVB=`, `UV=`, `UVH=`, and `UVV=`.  This seems to be an undocumented
[9fcaec0]542      feature/bug so Survex emits a warning and skips the junk.
[6082f2a]543
544    - After an unknown Walls option we now process the rest of the line.
545      Previously we were skipping the rest of the line.
546
547    - We no longer skip the rest of the line after a bad Walls `ORDER=` option.
548
549    - Correct the reported column for some Walls option diagnostics.
550
[9fcaec0]551    - Support explicit units on Walls clino readings.
[6082f2a]552
553    - Allow `#` in Walls station names.  This is explicitly documented as not
554      allowed, but the documentation doesn't match the implementation and `#`
[9fcaec0]555      is present in some real-world data.
[6082f2a]556
557    - Improve handling of Walls `RESTORE` error.  Highlight the position in the
558      line and don't skip the rest of the line.
559
560    - Don't warn about `INCH=` with a zero argument since that's the one case
561      of it we do handle!
562
563    - Fix not to skip the rest of the line after Walls `INCH=` option.
564      We currently don't support `INCH=` so we warn about it, but we were
565      skipping the rest of the line, then trying to read and discard the
[9fcaec0]566      argument to `INCH=` which gave an error.
[6082f2a]567
568    - Relax handling of Walls `CASE=`.  It's not documented, but Walls32.exe
[9fcaec0]569      quietly treats unknown values as "Mixed".
[6082f2a]570
[1f5f8c1]571    - Support DM and DMS format for latitude and longitude in Walls `#FIX`,
572      e.g. `W97:43.875` and `W97:43:52.5` .
573
574    - Treat a zero length leg with finite variance like a Survex `*equate`.
575
[b49bd46]576    - Apply Walls variance overrides to survey legs.
[1f5f8c1]577
578    - The optional instrument and target heights are now parsed, but their
579      values are currently ignored.
580
581    - The delimiters around LRUD data are now parsed, but the LRUD data between
582      them is currently ignored.
583
[5bf6f21]584    - If a `#SEGMENT` value looks like a set of Compass shot flags (i.e.
585      consists only of upper case characters from `CLPSX`, optionally prefixed
586      with a `/` or `\`) then we interpret them as Compass shot flags (except
587      that `X` is mapped the same way as `L`).  This is apparently a common way
588      to use `#SEGMENT`, and unlikely to be triggered accidentally.
[b49bd46]589
[9fcaec0]590    - Avoid a doubled directory separator when building Walls path names.
591
[6082f2a]592* documentation:
593
594  + The manual has been converted from DocBook to reStructured Text.  The
[1f5f8c1]595    plain-text format is much easier for making changes, and for users the
596    output from sphinx looks nicer and has extra features (like built-in
597    "Quick search" in the HTML output).
[6082f2a]598
599    The plain text version of the manual is no longer generated.  Sphinx can
600    produce one but the .rst sources actually seem more readable for anyone
601    wanting to read the manual in plain text.
602
603    The extra targets to generate the manual in RTF and PostScript
604    have been dropped as I doubt they are still used (we stopped
605    providing them on the website years ago).  They could probably be
606    reinstated if there's a demand for them.
607
[63a37be]608    The conversion was partly automated followed by a full pass over the
[6082f2a]609    result fixing issues with the automated conversion.  We took the
610    opportunity to also review the content and update or remove out of
611    date and other incorrect information, and to reorder some of the content.
612
[c4366d6]613  + Document all the statistics in the `.err` file
614
[6082f2a]615  + Document PLT export.
616
[b49bd46]617  + Minor improvements to --help output
618
[6082f2a]619  + The HTML version of the 1.4.9 manual was missing the Walls chapter
620    and had messed up paging links around it (due to the new CMAP chapter
621    accidentally also being given the filename `walls.htm`).  Reported by Eric
622    C. Landgraf.
623
624  + Document we don't enforce Walls' station or prefix length limits.
625
626  + Document handling of Walls `#NOTE`.
627
628  + Fix documentation of Walls `FLAG=` which is correctly handled, not skipped.
629
[b49bd46]630  + Document how to compare Walls and Survex output via Shapefile.
631
632  + Document how to suppress unused fixed point warning in Walls SRV.
[6082f2a]633
634* testsuite:
635
636  + Add testcase for Walls `#units order=da`.
637
638  + Add expected output for more testcases
639
640  + Add testcase for exporting .3d files.
641
[b49bd46]642  + Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before comparing to avoid bogus
643    test failures due to excess precision on x86 when using 387 FP
644    instructions.
645
646  + Add test of DXF export with full coordinates.
[6082f2a]647
648* translations:
649
650  + Diagnostics can now use positional arguments which sometimes allows a
[63a37be]651    more natural word order in a translated message.
[6082f2a]652
[532ff49]653Changes in 1.4.9 (2024-07-04):
[c009b32a]654
655* aven:
656
[532ff49]657  + Support showing geodata overlays in Aven.  We use the GDAL library to load
658    the data, so this should work for any format which GDAL supports so long as
659    it can be read from the filing system and is geo-referenced vector data -
660    see https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html for a list.  Currently the
661    dialog to select a file defaults to showing GPX, KML, GeoJSON and shape
662    files - set the filter to "All Files" to chose other formats.
[c009b32a]663
664  + Reimplement display of cavern output.  The old version turned the log into
665    HTML and displayed it using wxHtmlWindow, but that adds a lot of overhead
666    and is especially inefficient if there are many diagnostics - cavern could
667    finish almost instantly yet aven could take many seconds to process the
668    output.  The new version renders directly from the log data.  It should
669    have most of the features from before - the only missing feature I'm
670    currently aware of is that you can't now select and copy text from the log
671    window, which wxHtmlWindow provided for free.  If people miss this feature,
672    we could add it to the new implementation.
673
[532ff49]674  + (Microsoft Windows version): Clicks in the cavern log window which load
675    files into an editor now protect the filename if it starts with a dash
676    to prevent it being interpreted as a command line option.  We already
677    do this for other platforms, but weren't on Microsoft Windows on the
678    assumption that it isn't needed because the filenames will be fully
679    qualified, but that may not be the case if aven if run by hand from the
680    command line or from some other launcher.
681
[c009b32a]682* cavern:
683
684  + Add support for processing Walls format survey data (.SRV and .WPJ files).
685    This support is somewhat experimental but at a point where it seems useful
686    to make it easier for people to try out.  See the manual for a list of
687    known shortcomings.  Thanks to Eric C. Landgraf for a lot of testing and
688    encouragement.
689
[26bdac6]690  + Fix bug with Compass DAT diving data.  If a survey uses the depth gauge
691    then since 1.4.6 we set its style to "diving", but we weren't clearing that
[7ff9e18]692    so all surveys after that in the same DAT file were also set as "diving".
[26bdac6]693
694  + When parsing of Compass DAT files we report errors in more cases if the
695    input doesn't conform to the format we expect, rather than potentially
696    quietly misinterpreting the data.
697
[c009b32a]698  + *entrance now suppresses "Unused fixed point" warning.  This warning is
699    intended to catch typos, which is much less likely for a station named
700    twice.  It's also reasonable to use only *fix and *entrance on a station at
701    the entrance of an unsurveyed cave.
702
703  + Highlight plumbed clino readings fully in diagnostics.  Now the full reading
704    is highlighted instead of just the first character.
705
706  + Report location of previous fix after "already fixed" error/warning.
707
708  + Use "info" diagnostic category for "Originally entered here" message.  This
709    is more logical as the original *begin isn't something to be warned about,
710    only the reentering is.  This was only a warning before because we didn't
711    used to have "info" diagnostics.
712
713  + Use "info" diagnostic category for message about not reporting further
714    uses of a deprecated feature.  Previously this was a warning, but the newer
715    "info" category is more appropriate here.
716
717  + The message about inventing a fixed point is now an "info" diagnostic which
718    allows us to report a location which is where that station is defined,
719    which may be useful to the user.
720
721  + Make highlighting position in error reporting more robust.  We no longer
722    try to highIight if we calculate a negative column offset, when previously
723    we would print billions of spaces.  As far as I know this has never
724    happened in a released version.
725
[532ff49]726  + Error messages which report the program name now remove any ".exe" suffix.
727    This helps the testsuite by making the expected output the same
728    cross-platform, but also seems slightly nicer for users.
729
730* dump3d:
731
732  + The timestamp reported by DATE_NUMERIC is now printed portably.  Previously
733    we were assuming that a time_t is the same size as a long int, which is not
734    true on all platforms.
735
[c009b32a]736* manual:
737
738  + (Microsoft Windows version): Update information about installation
739    with/without admin rights.
740
[26bdac6]741  + Summarise support for reading CMAP data and its assumptions and
742    limitations.
743
[c009b32a]744  + Mention Compass, Walls and CMAP support in the importing data howto
745    section.
746
747  + Drop mention of Rosetta Stal from the manual.  The referred to link from
748    our website was removed in 2015 because Rosetta Stal hadn't been updated
749    for 13.5 years at that point.  Now the domain it was available from has
750    lapsed and is a domain squatter "for sale" page.
751
[fa2c485d]752* img library:
753
754  + The coordinates in CMAP data are in feet but we were dividing rather
755    than multiplying by the conversion factor to get metres so all
756    coordinates were about 10.76 times too large.
757
[26bdac6]758  + Stations in CMAP "station" variant XYZ files are now flagged as
759    underground (as they always have been for "shot" variant XYZ files).
760
761  + When reading CMAP XYZ files, we no longer emit duplicate img_LABEL for
762    stations in loops.
763
764  + A CMAP XYZ file without a survey title is now handled correctly (this was
765    reporting a bogus "Out of memory" error).
766
[532ff49]767  + The img.h header now defines constants IMG_VERSION_SURVEX_POS, etc for the
768    values reported in the version field for non-.3d formats.
769
770  + (Microsoft Windows version): Workaround limitation of Microsoft's C
771    library so we handle dates before 1970 in Compass PLT files, CMAP XYZ
772    files, and older format .3d files.  Previously these were reported
773    as "unknown date".
774
775* We now support overriding the location of support files by setting the
776  SURVEXLIB environment variable.  We no longer look at the srcdir
777  environment variable for this.
778
779* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created automatically
780  on Github actions, which has required a few changes.  It now packages a
781  64-bit build, and is created with Innosetup 6.3.2 which no longer supports
782  Vista.  The installer is also now significantly larger, which is mostly
783  because we now need to include a large number of DLLs, most of which are
784  dependencies of the mingw64 FFmpeg and GDAL packages.
785
786* (Microsoft Windows version): If the directory where we expect the PROJ
787  support files to be does not exist for some reason we now avoid triggering
788  a segmentation fault in PROJ.
789
[c009b32a]790* Build system:
791
792  + The GDAL library is now required to build Survex.
793
[532ff49]794  + (Microsoft Windows version): The probe for GL and GLU libraries now also
795    checks for Microsoft's non-standard library names.
796
797  + Correct configure --help output for --enable-werror for which the default
798    is actually "no" rather than "maintainer-mode".
799
800* testsuite:
801
802  + aven.tst: Skip a testcase when running on mingw as it seems to hang there.
803    We already skip this testcase on macos for what appears to be the same
804    problem.
805
806  + Fix comparison of output to work on platforms using DOS line endings.
807
[ff1859c]808Changes in 1.4.8 (2024-04-23):
809
810* cavern:
811
812  + The warning for a compass reading on a plumbed leg was already suppressed
813    for a compass or backcompass reading of 0, but is now also suppressed for a
814    backcompass of 180° (or equivalent) which seems to be common in some Compass
815    datasets, but also seems sensible generally.  Thanks to Simeon Warner for
816    sharing some data which triggered such warnings.
817
818  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name is now also
819    emitted in the case where a name was used first for a station, and then as
820    a survey on an explicitly prefixed name.  Closes
821    https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4, reported by Thomas Holder.
822
823  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name now highlights
824    the problematic name within the line shown for context.
825
826  + Fix the reported token string reported by some errors with readings.  This
827    happened to work on at least x86-64 Linux, but the code was invalid and
828    failed on some architectures.
829
830* Fix to build with newer FFmpeg versions.
831
832* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now offers the choice to install
833  for just the current user, which allows installing Survex without admin
834  rights.
835
836* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix problems with valid coordinate systems being
837  rejected and aven's cavern log window not showing output.  Reported by
838  Peter Mašič, Špela Borko, Răzvan Dumbravă and detrito.  Thanks especially to
839  Špela Borko for a lot of testing to help track down the cause.
840
[cca63ece]841Changes in 1.4.7 (2024-04-07):
842
843* cavern:
844
845  + When using *declination auto we report the range of calculated declinations
846    for each location specified.  After doing this we now reset the range
847    information we're tracking.  Previously we'd misreport the range for
848    the second and subsequent locations.
849
850  + Avoid undefined behaviour on handling filename fallback for filenames
851    containing non-ASCII characters.
852
853  + Show context line with relevant item highlighted for more errors and
854    warnings.
855
856  + The dynamic string handling routines are now more efficient.
857
858  + Fix memory leak if a Compass MAK file opens folders it doesn't close.
859
860  + Fix handling of clino-less legs in Compass DAT.  These would cause cavern
861    to fail with a lot of "NaN" messages.  Now they're treated as having a zero
862    clino with a standard deviation based on the leg length, just like in .svx
863    files.
864
865* img library:
866
867  + Compass PLT: Treat LRUD readings > 900 as omitted readings, which matches
868    what Compass does.  Thanks to Larry Fish for clarifying this.
869
870  + Avoid undefined behaviour after realloc().  We were adjusting a pointer
871    within the reallocated block by subtracting the old block address and
872    adding on the new one.  Technically this is undefined behaviour, although
873    in practice it seems likely it'll work and we've not seen misbehaviour due
874    to it.  However it's easy to avoid by calculating the offset before the
875    realloc().
876
877* Portability:
878
879  + Provide prototype for getopt() to avoid warnings with very recent compiler
880    versions.
881
882  + Avoid using sprintf(), which now triggers warnings on some platforms.
883
884* Build system:
885
886  + Add configure --enable-werror option to turn compiler warnings into errors.
887
[1fbe219e]888* Manual:
889
890  + Expand details of Compass MAK CRS support.
891
892  + Replace very out of date information about binary RPM packages.
[cca63ece]893
894* Minor translation updates.
895
896* (Microsoft Windows version): Now uses PROJ 9.3.0 and ships all of the
897  ancillary files that PROJ comes with.  Hoping this fixes use of coordinate
898  system EPSG:3912 failing, which was reported by Peter Mašič but I've not
899  managed to reproduce.
900
[bad7f1a]901Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-03-07):
[752a9f5]902
903* cavern:
904
905  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
906    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
907    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
908    mailing list.
[7bc4300]909
[752a9f5]910  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
911    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
912    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
913    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
914
[bad7f1a]915  + When opening a file, cavern has fallback handling if the file isn't found
916    to help people processing datasets from platforms with case-insensitive
917    file systems.  Previously cavern would fold the filename to lowercase and
918    retry.  Now if this fails, it will also try the lower case version but
919    with the initial character of the leaf in upper case, and finally folding
920    the whole specified filename to upper case.
921
922  + Dynamically pick a suitable level separator character and store it in .3d
923    file, instead of it being hard-coded to '.' (we still use '.' unless it
924    has been *set as a "name" character, or for Compass DAT/MAK files unless it
925    has been used in a station name).  This is a step towards addressing the
926    situations raised by Thomas Holder in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4
927    and https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/5 .
928
[9e62108]929  + Compass DAT files:
[e5e93f9]930
[bad7f1a]931    - The shot flag S is now understood to indicate a splay.
932
933    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
934      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
935      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
936      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
937      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
938      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
939
[9e62108]940    - Surveys which indicate a depth gauge was used for azimuth readings are
941      now marked as STYLE_DIVING in the 3d file.
[e5e93f9]942
[bad7f1a]943    - Compass and clino corrections are now implemented for backsights.
[e5e93f9]944
[9e62108]945    - The tape correction in Compass DAT files is now handled correctly.  The
946      specified value is in feet, but cavern was incorrectly treating it as
947      being in metres.
948
949    - We now handle the newer 15 character "FORMAT:" encoding.  Previously
950      cavern wouldn't detect when there were backsights in this case.
951
952    - We now treat survey date January 1st 1901 as "no date specified" since
953      this is the date Compass stores in this situation, and it seems very
954      unlikely to occur in real data.
955
956    - In Compass DAT files a dummy zero-length leg from a station to itself is
957      used to provide a place to specify LRUD for the start or end of a
958      traverse (depending if dimensions are measured at the from or to
959      station), and so we no longer issue a warning about equating a station to
960      itself for DAT files.
961
962  + Compass MAK files:
963
[bad7f1a]964    - The base location command is now understood.  This is how Compass
965      specifies a location to calculate magnetic declination at, and we
966      now handle this like Survex's native "*declination auto X Y Z".
967
[9d6646a]968    - Survex uses the specified UTM zone and datum provided the combination can
969      be expressed as an EPSG code (lack of any EPSG codes for a datum suggests
970      it's obsolete; lack of a code for a particular datum+zone combination
971      suggests the zone is outside of the defined area of use of the datum).
972      Example Compass files we've seen use "North American 1927" outside of
973      where it's defined for use, presumably because some users fail to change
974      the datum from Compass' default.  To enable reading such files we return
975      a PROJ4 string of the form "+proj=utm ..." for "North American 1927" and
976      "North American 1983" for UTM zones which don't have an EPSG code.
977      Please let us know if support for additional cases which aren't currently
978      supported would be useful to you.
[e5e93f9]979
[bad7f1a]980    - Folder commands are now understood.
[7bc4300]981
[bad7f1a]982    - Flag fixed stations as entrances.  Experimentation with Compass shows
983      this is how it treats them ("distance from entrance" in a .DAT file
984      counts from 0 at these points).
[9e62108]985
[bad7f1a]986  + We now support reading Compass CLP files.  These are very like DAT files,
987    except they contain loop-closed data.  You might find this useful if you
988    want to keep existing stations at the same adjusted positions Compass gave
989    (for example to be able to draw extensions on an existing drawn-up survey),
990    or if the original DAT file has been lost but you still have the CLP file.
[9e62108]991
[bad7f1a]992* aven:
[7bc4300]993
[bad7f1a]994  + Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
995    Philip Balister.
[7bc4300]996
[bad7f1a]997  + Split the filters for DAT and MAK files in the File->Open drop down list.
998    It seems more likely you'd want to see one type or the other, not both
999    together.
[7bc4300]1000
[bad7f1a]1001* aven/survexport:
[7bc4300]1002
[bad7f1a]1003  + Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
[b1c66e1]1004
[bad7f1a]1005  + .json,.kml: Enable export of surface legs.  Currently surface and
1006    underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats when both
1007    are enabled.
[7bc4300]1008
[bad7f1a]1009  + .3d: The coordinate system is now set.
1010
1011  + .svg: Equated stations now get their correct names in the id attribute
1012    of <circle> tags.  Previously one of the names would be repeated for
1013    all of a set of equated stations.
1014
1015  + .plt:
1016
1017    - Anonymous stations previously resulted in an empty name in the PLT
1018      file.  This isn't explicitly disallowed by the PLT format description,
1019      but Compass' viewer gives an error for such lines.  Now we invent names
1020      by encoding the station coordinates which should be unique.
1021
1022    - The S shot flag is now set for splays, and the P shot flag (hide from
1023      plotting) is set for surface legs (which matches the use suggested in the
1024      Compass docs).
[e5e93f9]1025
[752a9f5]1026* img library:
1027
1028  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
1029    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
1030    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
1031    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
1032    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
1033    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
1034    default).
1035
[9e62108]1036  + Improve Compass PLT support (many of these are Compass features added
1037    since Survex's support for Compass was originally added):
1038
1039    - Survey dates are now handled fully.  We treat survey date January 1st
1040      1901 as "no date specified" since this is the date Compass stores in this
1041      situation, and it seems very unlikely to occur in real data.
1042
1043    - LRUD data is now translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END.
1044
1045    - We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE for stations where the "Distance From
1046      Entrance" field is present and zero.
1047
1048    - The shot flag L is now translated to img_FLAG_DUPLICATE.
1049
1050    - The shot flag S is now translated to img_FLAG_SPLAY.  A station at the
1051      far end of a shot flagged S gets img_SFLAG_WALL set since the Compass PLT
1052      format specification says:
1053
1054          The shot is a "splay" shot, which is a shot from a station to the
1055          wall to define the passage shape.
1056
1057    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
1058      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
1059      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
1060      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
1061      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
1062      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
1063
1064    - The d plot command is now supported (previously img failed to parse
1065      PLT files using this command) - it's like D but implies the P shot flag.
1066
1067    - If a PLT file only uses one datum and it is "WGS 1984" then the UTM zone
1068      is converted to the appropriate EPSG code and this is reported as the
1069      coordinate system.  Other datums could be handled, but the mapping to
1070      EPSG code is less simple.  Also it seems Compass supports at least
1071      24 datums but it doesn't document all the strings it uses for them.
1072      Files with multiple datums could be handled too, but we'd need to convert
1073      coordinates to a common coordinate system in the img library, which would
1074      need it to depend on PROJ.  Please let us know if support for more and/or
1075      mixed datums would be useful to you.
1076
1077    - Duplicate img_LABEL items are no longer returned - this used to happen
1078      for stations where more than two shots met within a single survey.
1079
1080    - We now infer img_SFLAG_EXPORTED for any station that appears in more
1081      than one survey in the PLT file.
1082
1083    - We now set flag img_SFLAG_FIXED for any station which is listed as
1084      a fixed point in the PLT file.
1085
1086    - If there's only one non-empty section name in a PLT file and we aren't
1087      filtering by survey, we now report that section name as the title.  If
1088      there are multiple different non-empty section names, we still report the
1089      basename of the file as before.  If we're filtering by survey, we report
1090      the comment for that survey as before.
1091
1092    - Fix bug handling PLT with omitted LRUD.  The format specification
1093      documents that LRUD may be omitted, though it seems Compass never
1094      actually omits it and at least some versions of Compass failed to handle
1095      it being omitted too.
1096
[bad7f1a]1097* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
1098
1099* manual:
1100
1101  + Document Compass support in detail.
1102
1103  + Improve NATO mils example.
1104
1105* INSTALL:
1106
1107  + Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by Andrew
1108    Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
1109
1110  + Document the requirement for a C99 compiler for building from source.
1111    We made this a requirement in 1.4.2, but only noted it in NEWS.
1112
1113* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1114
1115* Replace references to "libav" with "FFmpeg" since the libav project seems to
1116  now be defunct, and we've always supported using either.
1117
1118* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros and drop
1119  probes for features that we can safely assume now we require a C99 compiler
1120  and workarounds for obsolete platforms.
1121
1122* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
1123
[a30f7d0]1124Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
[1a67f93]1125
1126* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
1127
1128* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
[a30f7d0]1129  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
[1a67f93]1130
1131* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
1132
1133* Minor translation updates.
1134
[269106c]1135Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
1136
1137* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
1138  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
1139
1140* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
1141  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
1142  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
1143  checks that were rejecting this.
1144
1145  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
1146  really do that's better than that.
1147
1148  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
1149
1150* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
1151  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
1152  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
1153  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
1154  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
1155
1156* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
1157  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
1158
1159* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
1160  bearing spin control.
1161
1162* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
1163  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
1164  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
1165  currently but please report issues.
1166
1167* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
1168  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
1169  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
1170  position".
1171
1172* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
1173  Reported by echarlie
1174
1175* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
1176
[fcf3d2e]1177Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
[4c0900b]1178
[4659b8a]1179* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
[4c0900b]1180
1181* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
1182  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
1183
1184* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
1185  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
1186
1187* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
1188  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
1189
[4659b8a]1190* Minor translation updates.
[4c0900b]1191
[4659b8a]1192* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
1193  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
1194  works on Wayland).
[4c0900b]1195
1196* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
1197  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
1198
[fcf3d2e]1199* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
1200
[4659b8a]1201* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
1202  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
1203  Requested by Martin Budaj.
1204
[a33237fd]1205Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
[d2b22b1]1206
1207* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
1208
1209* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
1210
[48d5a6f]1211* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
1212  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
1213
[a33237fd]1214* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
1215  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
1216  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
1217  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
1218
[48d5a6f]1219* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
1220  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
1221  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1222
1223* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
1224  string properly.
[d2b22b1]1225
[a33237fd]1226* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
1227  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
1228  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
1229  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
1230  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
1231  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
1232  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
1233
1234* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
1235  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
1236
1237  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
1238
[d2b22b1]1239* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
1240  where the included filename is actually specified.
1241
1242* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
1243  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
1244
[a33237fd]1245* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
1246  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
1247  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
1248
[48d5a6f]1249* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
1250  running on the Continuous Integration system.
1251
[a33237fd]1252* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
[84c4a07]1253  newer version of Innosetup.  This means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the
1254  minimum supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support
1255  anyway.
[a33237fd]1256
1257* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
1258  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
1259
[d2b22b1]1260* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1261
[d8f00a9]1262* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
1263  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
1264  inconvenience anyone.
1265
[570b57d]1266Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
1267
1268* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
1269
1270* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
1271  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
1272  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
1273  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
1274
1275* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
1276  in 1.4.0.
1277
1278* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
1279
[67f9739]1280Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
[3b69f29]1281
1282* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
[cccc545]1283  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
1284  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
1285  Couwenberg.
[3b69f29]1286
1287  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
1288  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
1289  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
1290  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
1291
1292  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
[e91c656]1293  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
[3b69f29]1294
1295* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
1296  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
1297  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
1298
1299* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
1300  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
1301  strings is strongly discouraged.
1302
1303  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
1304
1305  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
1306
[67f9739]1307  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
1308  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
[3b69f29]1309
1310* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
1311  Green.
1312
1313* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
1314  echarlie.
1315
1316* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
1317  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
1318  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
1319
1320* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
1321
[67f9739]1322* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
1323
[3b69f29]1324* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
1325
1326* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
1327
1328* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
1329  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
1330  stations not attached to a fixed point.
1331
[738af38]1332Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
1333
1334* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
1335  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
1336  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
1337  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
1338  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
1339
1340* aven:
1341
1342  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
1343    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
1344    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
1345    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
1346    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
1347    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
1348
1349* testsuite:
1350
1351  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
1352    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
1353    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
1354    process exits.
1355
1356* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
1357
[38bc415]1358Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
1359
1360* aven:
1361
1362  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
[f9de21a]1363
1364* cavern:
1365
[66b477f]1366  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
1367
1368  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
1369    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
1370    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
1371
[f9de21a]1372  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
1373    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
1374    until the next *data command with parameters.
1375
1376  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
1377    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
1378
1379  * Improve test coverage.
1380
1381* survexport:
1382
1383  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
1384    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
1385
1386  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
1387    Batista.
1388
1389* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
1390  Holder.
1391
[66b477f]1392* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
1393  from Thomas Holder.
1394
[f9de21a]1395* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
1396  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
1397
1398* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
1399
1400* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1401
1402* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
1403
1404* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
1405
1406* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
1407
[fe8a1b4]1408Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
1409
1410* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
1411  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
1412  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
1413
1414* aven:
1415
1416  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
1417    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
1418    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
1419
1420  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
1421    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
1422    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
1423    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
1424
1425  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
1426    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
1427    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
1428
1429  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
1430
[040c02e]1431Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
1432
1433* aven:
1434
1435  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
1436
1437  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
1438    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
1439    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
1440
1441  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
1442    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
1443    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
1444    orientation.
1445
1446* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
1447  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
1448  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
1449  Richard Knapp.
1450
1451* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
1452  might still need to use them for.
1453
1454* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
1455
1456* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
1457
1458* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
1459  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
1460  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
1461  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
1462
1463* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
1464  is now the recommended approach.
1465
[0957d63]1466Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
1467
1468* aven:
1469
1470  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1471    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
1472    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
1473    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
1474    Brian Clipstone.
1475
1476  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
1477    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
1478
[d034033]1479Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
1480
1481* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
1482  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
1483  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
1484
1485* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
1486  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
1487  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
1488  with some compilers.
1489
1490* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
1491  installed.
1492
[9fe70e44]1493Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
1494
1495* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
1496  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
1497  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
1498
1499* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
1500  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
1501  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
1502
1503* aven:
1504
1505  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
1506    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
1507    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
1508    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
1509    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
1510    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
1511    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
1512    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
1513    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
1514    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
1515    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
1516
1517  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
1518
1519* Documentation:
1520
1521  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
1522
1523  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
1524    placeholder.
1525
1526  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
1527    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
1528
1529* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
1530  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
1531  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
1532
1533* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
1534  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
1535  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
1536  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
1537  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
1538  location to avoid confusion.
1539
1540* Add a few more message translations.
1541
1542* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
1543
[66b555d]1544Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
1545
1546* cavern:
1547
1548  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
1549    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
1550    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
1551    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
1552    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
1553
1554  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
1555    now reports "file not found" instead.
1556
1557  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
1558    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
1559    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
1560
1561* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
1562
1563* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
1564  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
1565  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
1566  removed.
1567
1568* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
1569  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
1570  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
1571  information.  Patch from James Begley.
1572
[3147062]1573Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
1574
1575* aven:
1576
1577  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
1578    controllable.
1579
1580  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1581
1582  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
1583    Patch from Robert Jones.
1584
1585  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
1586    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
1587    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
1588
[0482978]1589  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
1590    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
1591
[3ed7da1]1592* cavern:
[3147062]1593
[3ed7da1]1594  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
1595    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
[3147062]1596
[3ed7da1]1597  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
1598    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
1599    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
1600    go unnoticed.
[3147062]1601
1602* survexport:
1603
1604  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
1605    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
1606    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
1607
1608  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
1609    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
1610    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
1611    Stephen Crabtree.
1612
1613* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1614
1615* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
1616  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
1617
1618* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
1619  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
1620  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
1621  therion's team command.
1622
[26ab0a7]1623Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
1624
1625* aven:
1626
1627  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
1628
1629  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
1630    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
1631    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
1632    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
1633    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
1634    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
1635    for new entrances.
1636
1637  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
1638    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
1639    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
1640    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
1641
1642  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
1643
1644  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
1645    to show via the right-click menu.
1646
1647  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
1648    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
1649    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
1650    child surveys of the parent.
1651
1652  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
1653    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
1654    survey.
1655
1656  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
1657    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
1658
1659  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
1660
1661  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
1662    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
1663
1664  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
1665    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
1666    filtering this matters more).
1667
1668* survexport:
1669
1670  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
1671    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
1672
1673  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
1674
1675* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
1676
1677* Minor translation updates.
1678
1679* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
1680
1681* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
1682
1683* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
1684
[facb636]1685Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
1686
1687* aven:
1688
1689  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
1690    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
1691    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
1692    on screen, printed and exported.
1693
1694  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
1695    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
1696    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
1697    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
1698    survey.
1699
1700  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
1701    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
1702    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
1703    view.  Reported by Wookey.
1704
1705  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
1706    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
1707    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
1708
1709  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
1710    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
1711
1712  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
1713    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
1714
1715  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
1716    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
1717
1718  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
1719    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
1720
1721  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
1722    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
1723
1724* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
1725  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
1726  tools could do, plus much more.
1727
1728* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
1729
1730* Minor updates to various other translations.
1731
1732* img library:
1733
1734  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
1735
1736  + Improve API documentation.
1737
1738* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
1739  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
1740  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
1741
1742* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
1743  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
1744  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
1745  control what gets exported.
1746
[5279c800]1747Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
1748
1749* aven:
1750
1751  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1752    of 1.2.33.
1753
1754  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
1755
[f057bc1]1756Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
1757
1758* aven:
1759
1760  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
1761    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
1762    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
1763    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
1764
1765  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
1766    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
1767    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
1768    Erin Lynch.
1769
1770  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
1771    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
1772    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
1773
1774  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
1775    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
1776    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
1777    unnecessarily.
1778
1779  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
1780    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
1781    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
1782    for this control).
1783
1784  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
1785    under GTK3.
1786
1787  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
1788    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
1789    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
1790
1791  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
1792    current development version).
1793
1794  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
1795    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
1796    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
1797
1798* cavern:
1799
1800  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
1801    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
1802    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
1803    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
1804    "19".
1805
1806* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
1807  Evaristo Quiroga.
1808
1809* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1810
1811* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
1812  milosch.
1813
1814* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
1815  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
1816  translated messages.
1817
1818* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
1819  Indonesian and Polish.
1820
1821* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
1822  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
1823  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1824
1825* Fix a few compiler warnings.
1826
1827* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
1828  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
1829  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
1830
1831* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
1832
1833  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
1834    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
1835    but happens to fail if it isn't.
1836
1837  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
1838
1839  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
1840
1841  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
1842
1843* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
1844  detected at run time on macOS.
1845
1846* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
1847  by the homebrew formula.
1848
1849* buildmacosx.sh:
1850
1851  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
1852    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
1853
1854  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
1855
1856* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
1857  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
1858
[66576b6]1859Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
1860
1861* aven:
1862
1863  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
1864    and Anthony Day.
1865
1866  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
1867    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
1868    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1869    Erin Lynch in #89.
1870
1871  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
1872    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
1873    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
1874    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
1875    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
1876    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
1877    elevations.
1878
1879  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
1880    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
1881    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
1882
1883  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
1884    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
1885    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
1886    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
1887    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
1888    "on".
1889
1890  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
1891    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
1892
1893  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
1894    the display wouldn't update right away.
1895
1896* Manual:
1897
1898  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
1899
1900  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
1901
1902* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
1903  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
1904  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
1905  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
1906  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
1907
[28695f1]1908Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
[11c814b]1909
1910* aven:
1911
1912  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
1913    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
1914    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
1915
1916  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
1917    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
1918    before by others.
1919
1920  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
1921
1922  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
1923    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
1924    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
1925    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
1926    original change.
1927
[28695f1]1928  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
1929    which extends beyond the end of the line).
[11c814b]1930
1931  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
1932    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
1933
1934  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
1935
[28695f1]1936  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
[11c814b]1937
[28695f1]1938  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
1939    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
1940    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
1941    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
1942    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
1943    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
1944    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
[11c814b]1945
1946  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
1947    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
1948
[28695f1]1949  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
1950    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
1951    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
1952
1953  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
1954    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
1955    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
1956    much vertical range.
1957
1958  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
1959    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
1960    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
1961    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
1962    are drawn in this way.
1963
1964  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
1965    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
1966    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
1967    centre should be a single pixel.
[11c814b]1968
1969* cavern:
1970
[28695f1]1971  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
1972    entering passage data where there are side passages.
1973
1974  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
1975    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
1976
[11c814b]1977  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
1978    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
[28695f1]1979    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
1980    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
[11c814b]1981
1982  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
1983    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
1984    Reported by Erin Lynch.
1985
1986  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
1987    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
1988    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
1989    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
1990
1991  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
1992    other messages.
1993
[28695f1]1994* extend:
1995
1996  + Now runs a bit faster.
1997
1998  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
1999    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
2000    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
2001    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
2002    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
2003    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
2004    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
2005    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
2006    be handled better) most welcome.
2007
2008* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
2009
2010* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
2011
2012* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
2013  translations from therion.
2014
2015* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
2016  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
2017
[11c814b]2018* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
2019  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
2020  Footleg.
2021
[28695f1]2022* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
2023
2024* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
[11c814b]2025
[56b37f3]2026Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
2027
2028* aven:
2029
2030  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
2031    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2032
2033  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
2034    Suggested by detrito.
2035
2036  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
2037    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
2038
2039  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
2040    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
2041
2042* Add man page for dump3d.
2043
[d0418ac]2044Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
2045
2046* aven:
2047
2048  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
2049    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
2050
2051  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
[53c1e5d]2052    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
[d0418ac]2053
2054* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
2055  Lynch and "detrito".
2056
2057* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
2058  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
2059
[6897356]2060Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
[0d8f67a]2061
2062* cavern:
2063
2064  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
2065    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
2066    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
2067    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
2068    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
2069
2070  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
2071
2072  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
2073
2074  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
2075    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
2076    degrees).
[99b3298]2077
2078* aven:
2079
2080  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
2081    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
2082    Day.
2083
2084  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
2085    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
2086
2087  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
2088    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
2089
[0d8f67a]2090  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
2091    of the line in cavern log window.
2092
[99b3298]2093  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
2094
2095  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
2096
[6897356]2097  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
2098    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
2099    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
2100    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
2101    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
2102
[0d8f67a]2103  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
2104    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
2105    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
2106
[99b3298]2107  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
2108
2109  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
2110
2111  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
2112    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
2113    Atkinson and myself.
2114
2115  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
2116
2117  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
2118    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
2119    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
2120    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
2121    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
2122    survey.
2123
2124  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
2125    lines on my netbook.
2126
2127  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
2128    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
2129    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
2130
[6897356]2131  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
2132    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
2133    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
2134    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
2135    glitches.
2136
2137  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
2138    we currently list, though slower to write.
2139
2140  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
2141    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
2142
2143  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
2144    warnings when building against a recent version.
2145
[99b3298]2146  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
2147    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
2148    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
2149    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
2150
[f55cbeb]2151  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
2152    movie export.
2153
2154  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
2155    export.
2156
[99b3298]2157* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
2158  James Begley.
2159
[0d8f67a]2160* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
2161  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
2162
[99b3298]2163* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
2164
[7333c2c]2165* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
2166  messages get used automatically.
2167
2168* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
2169  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
2170
[0d8f67a]2171* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
2172
2173* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
2174
2175* Use https for more URLs which support it.
2176
[690fdab]2177Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
[dfe8d05]2178
2179* aven:
2180
2181  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
2182    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
2183    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
2184    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
2185    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
2186    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
2187    probably change in the future).
2188
[690fdab]2189  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
2190    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
2191    the survey tree root.
[dfe8d05]2192
[690fdab]2193  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
2194    the view was recentred).
[dfe8d05]2195
2196  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
2197    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
2198    wrong direction).
2199
2200  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
2201    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
2202    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
2203
[690fdab]2204  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
2205    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
2206    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
2207    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
[dfe8d05]2208
2209  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
2210    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
2211
[690fdab]2212  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
2213    addresses #60.
2214
2215  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
2216
2217  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
2218    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
2219    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
2220
2221  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
2222
2223  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
2224    360 or down past 0.
2225
2226  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
2227    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
2228    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
2229    real-valued ones.
[dfe8d05]2230
2231  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
2232    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
2233
[690fdab]2234  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
2235    Lynch.
[dfe8d05]2236
[690fdab]2237  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
2238
2239  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
2240    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
2241
2242  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
2243    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
2244    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
2245
2246  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
2247    should now work.
[dfe8d05]2248
2249* cavern:
2250
2251  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
2252
2253  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
2254    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
2255    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
2256
2257  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
2258    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
2259    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
2260
[3ca8ad2]2261  + Fix check for end of version number array in *require.  We would check up
[dfe8d05]2262    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
2263    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
2264    issue.
2265
2266  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
2267    by patch from Colin Watson.
2268
[690fdab]2269  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
2270
[dfe8d05]2271* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
2272
2273* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
2274  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
2275
[690fdab]2276* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
2277  used in the same dataset.
2278
[dfe8d05]2279* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
2280  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
2281
2282* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
2283  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
2284  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
2285
2286* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
2287
[cd746b9]2288Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
2289
2290* aven:
2291
2292  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
2293    cavern again.
2294
[8ee50db]2295* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
2296  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
2297  location and use the same start menu folder.
2298
2299* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
2300  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
2301
2302* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
2303  by James Begley.
2304
[cd5cd8f]2305Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
[4e92bec]2306
[cd5cd8f]2307* aven:
[4e92bec]2308
[cd5cd8f]2309  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
2310    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
2311    to address.
[4e92bec]2312
[cd5cd8f]2313  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
2314    over the survey tree.
[4e92bec]2315
[cd5cd8f]2316  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
[4e92bec]2317
[cd5cd8f]2318  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
2319    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]2320
[cd5cd8f]2321  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
2322    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
2323    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
2324    encoded.
[4e92bec]2325
[cd5cd8f]2326  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
2327    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
2328    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
2329    terminals which do still support this.
[4e92bec]2330
[cd5cd8f]2331  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
2332    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
[4e92bec]2333
[cd5cd8f]2334* cavern:
[4e92bec]2335
[cd5cd8f]2336  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
2337    Edwards (see #78).
[4e92bec]2338
[cd5cd8f]2339  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
2340    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
2341    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
2342    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
[4e92bec]2343
[cd5cd8f]2344  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
2345    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
2346    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
[4e92bec]2347
[cd5cd8f]2348  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
2349    from Pete Smart (see #69).
[4e92bec]2350
[cd5cd8f]2351* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
2352  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
2353  Black.
[4e92bec]2354
[cd5cd8f]2355* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
[4e92bec]2356
[cd5cd8f]2357* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
2358  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
2359  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
2360  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
2361  Black.
[4e92bec]2362
[cd5cd8f]2363* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
2364  Black.
[4e92bec]2365
[cd5cd8f]2366* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
[4e92bec]2367
[cd5cd8f]2368* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
[4e92bec]2369
[cd5cd8f]2370* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
[4e92bec]2371
[cd5cd8f]2372* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
[4e92bec]2373
[cd5cd8f]2374* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
[4e92bec]2375
[cd5cd8f]2376* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
2377  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
[4e92bec]2378
[cd5cd8f]2379* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
2380  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
2381  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
[4e92bec]2382
[cd5cd8f]2383* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
2384  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
2385  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
2386  privileges or not.
[4e92bec]2387
[52dad0e]2388Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
2389
2390* aven:
2391
2392  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
2393    Clipstone.
2394
2395  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
2396    Reported by Jenny Black.
2397
2398  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
2399    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
2400    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
2401
2402  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
2403    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
2404    messages.
2405
2406  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
2407    the terminal in 1.2.23.
2408
2409* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
2410  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
2411
2412* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
2413
2414* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
2415  by Wookey.
2416
[1ff33eb]2417Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
[1ed104f]2418
2419* aven:
2420
2421  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
2422    machines.
2423
2424  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
2425
2426  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
2427    already being processed.
2428
2429  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
2430    Reported by Martin Green.
2431
[d56a2d4]2432  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
2433
2434* cavern:
2435
2436  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
2437    find the original survey notes).
2438
2439  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
2440    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
2441    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
2442    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
2443    progress display to be useful.
[1ed104f]2444
2445* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
2446
[d56a2d4]2447* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
2448  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
2449
[1ed104f]2450* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
2451  running cavern.
2452
[53b6a5a]2453* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
2454  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
2455  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
2456
[7f7dbd5]2457Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
[d225571]2458
2459* aven:
2460
2461  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
2462    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
2463    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
2464    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
2465    finding this fix.
2466
2467* cavern:
2468
2469  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
2470
2471  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
2472    station.
2473
[7f7dbd5]2474  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
2475    *export.
2476
[2d865b7]2477Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
[31e9b72]2478
[03c259e]2479* aven:
2480
[2d865b7]2481  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
2482    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
2483    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
2484
[22f17f1]2485  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
2486
[03c259e]2487  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
2488    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
2489    does.
2490
[2d865b7]2491  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
2492    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
2493
2494  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
2495    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
2496
2497  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
2498    as appropriate.
2499
[03c259e]2500  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
2501    values on Windows.
2502
2503* cavern:
2504
[22f17f1]2505  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
2506    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
2507    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
2508
[2d865b7]2509  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
2510    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
2511
2512  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
2513    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
2514    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
[1687a13]2515    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
2516
2517  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
2518    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
2519    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
2520    Atkinson.
[2d865b7]2521
2522  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
2523    actual error rather than on a separate line.
[22f17f1]2524
[03c259e]2525  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
2526    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
2527    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
2528    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
2529
2530  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
2531    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
2532    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
2533
2534* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
2535  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
2536  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
2537  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
2538
2539* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
2540
[2d865b7]2541* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
2542  "*DECLINATION" command.
2543
[ab3b4a9]2544* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
2545  Reported by Jenny Black.
2546
2547* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
2548  documentation.
2549
[22f17f1]2550* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
2551  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
2552
2553* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
2554
[2d865b7]2555* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
2556
[7027ea1]2557Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
[0eaf4b1]2558
2559* aven:
2560
[6de8e942]2561  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
[31e9b72]2562    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
2563    the same or very similar by default.
[0eaf4b1]2564
2565  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
2566    Maynard.
2567
2568  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
2569
[7027ea1]2570  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
2571
2572  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
2573    away.
2574
2575  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
[6de8e942]2576
2577  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
2578    display it.
2579
2580* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
2581  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
2582  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
2583  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
2584
[0eaf4b1]2585* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
2586
2587* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
2588  before 1.2.19.
2589
2590* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
2591  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
2592
2593* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
2594
2595* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
2596  disk image.
2597
[6de8e942]2598* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
2599
[0eaf4b1]2600* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
2601  libav features we don't use.
2602
2603* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
2604  a load of libav features we don't use.
2605
2606* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
2607  message in the installer.
2608
[1dc99d1]2609Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
[f96ac93]2610
2611* aven:
2612
2613  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
2614    the exported file in 1.2.18.
2615
[2dac61e1]2616  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
2617
[4b67f71]2618  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
2619    exit full screen mode.
2620
2621  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
2622    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
2623    using since 1.2.7).
[2dac61e1]2624
[f96ac93]2625  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
2626    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
2627    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
2628    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
[2dac61e1]2629    St. Lawrence.
[f96ac93]2630
2631  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
2632    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
2633
2634  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
2635    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
2636    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
2637
2638  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
2639    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
2640    case like we do on other platforms.
2641
[739440f]2642  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
2643
[2dac61e1]2644  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
2645    support multi-monitor setups.
2646
[f96ac93]2647  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
2648    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
2649
[4b67f71]2650  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
2651    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
2652
[f96ac93]2653  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
2654    cases.
2655
[2dac61e1]2656  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
2657    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
2658    Erin Lynch)
2659
2660  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
2661    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
2662    items in in so it uses the full width.
[f96ac93]2663
2664  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
2665    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
2666    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
2667    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
2668    window.
2669
[2dac61e1]2670  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
2671    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
2672    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
2673    only relevant on the first ever run.
[f96ac93]2674
2675* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
2676
2677* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
2678  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
2679  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
2680  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
2681  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
2682  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
2683
[4b67f71]2684* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
2685  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
2686
[3f02aa4]2687Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
[2595419]2688
[4a8031f]2689* aven:
[a5670c7]2690
[4a8031f]2691  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
2692    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
2693    rendering it as a transparent surface.
[a5670c7]2694
[4a8031f]2695  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
2696    sanely want to perform from the menu.
[a5670c7]2697
[4a8031f]2698  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
2699    colouring options.
[a5670c7]2700
[4a8031f]2701  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
[a5670c7]2702
[4a8031f]2703  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
2704    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
2705    pressing "Escape".
[a5670c7]2706
[38e5701]2707  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
2708    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
2709
[4a8031f]2710  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
2711    exporting.
[a5670c7]2712
[38e5701]2713  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
2714
2715  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
2716    is quite likely to change.
2717
[4a8031f]2718  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
2719    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
[a5670c7]2720
[4a8031f]2721  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
2722    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
2723    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
2724
2725  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
2726
2727  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
2728    markers in orange.
2729
2730  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
2731    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
2732
2733  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
2734    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
2735    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
2736    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
2737    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
2738    them would be better.
2739
2740  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
2741    Gee.
2742
2743  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
2744    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
2745    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
2746
2747  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
2748
2749* cavern:
[0476b10]2750
[38e5701]2751  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
2752    susscorfa).
2753
[4a8031f]2754  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
[38e5701]2755    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
[4a8031f]2756
2757  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
2758
2759  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
2760    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
2761
2762  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
2763    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
2764
2765* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
2766
2767* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
2768  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
2769  in a modern desktop.
[a5670c7]2770
[dd65182]2771* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
2772  the filename in the error message.
2773
[4a8031f]2774* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
2775  most complete translations.
[dd65182]2776
[4a8031f]2777* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
[dd65182]2778
[4a8031f]2779* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
2780  lacks them.
[dd65182]2781
[4a8031f]2782* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
2783
2784* Manual:
2785
2786  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
2787    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
2788
2789  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
[dd65182]2790
[4a8031f]2791  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
[dd65182]2792
[4a8031f]2793  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
2794    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
2795    available for download.
2796
2797* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
2798  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
2799  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
[2595419]2800
[4a8031f]2801* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
[dd65182]2802
[3f02aa4]2803* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
2804
[1646310]2805Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
[a6064e2]2806
2807* MacOS X version:
2808
2809  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
2810
[e067870]2811  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
[9e053fc]2812
[e067870]2813  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
2814
2815  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
[9e053fc]2816
2817  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
2818    currently do this for us.
2819
[a6064e2]2820  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
2821
2822  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
2823
[9e053fc]2824  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
2825
2826  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
2827    OS X cursor.
2828
[e067870]2829  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
2830    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
2831    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
2832    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
2833    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
2834    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
2835    with TextEdit.app for example).
2836
2837  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
2838    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
2839
[a6064e2]2840  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
2841
[9e053fc]2842  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
2843    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
2844
2845  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
2846    Riggs.
2847
2848  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
2849    space.
2850
[4baea3a]2851  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
[9e053fc]2852
2853  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
2854    10.10.1.
2855
2856  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
2857    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
2858    errors.
2859
[4baea3a]2860  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
2861    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
2862    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
2863    wxWidgets build supports by default.
2864
[e067870]2865  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
2866
[a6064e2]2867* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
2868  treat as a single leg.
2869
[9e053fc]2870* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
2871
2872* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
2873
2874* aven:
2875
2876  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
2877    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
2878
2879  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
2880    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
2881    1:500).
2882
2883  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
2884    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
2885    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
2886    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
2887
2888  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
2889    there rather than the two animations fighting.
2890
2891  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
2892    fast.
2893
2894  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
2895    when rotating).
2896
[1646310]2897  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
2898    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
2899
2900* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
2901  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
2902
2903* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
2904
2905* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
2906
2907* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
2908
2909* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
[e067870]2910
[a6064e2]2911* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
2912  we're using git.
2913
[1646310]2914* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
2915
2916  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
2917    compass.
2918
2919  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
2920
2921  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
[a6064e2]2922
[03d0e8b]2923Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
[9aa10ad]2924
2925* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
2926
[f480117d]2927* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
2928
[9aa10ad]2929* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
2930
2931* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
2932  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
2933
2934* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
2935
2936* tests/: Improve test coverage.
2937
[7bd113b]2938* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
2939  Greek and Polish.
[9aa10ad]2940
2941* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
2942  by Martin Sluka.
2943
2944* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
2945  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
2946
[44f51ca]2947Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
2948
2949* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
2950  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
2951  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
2952  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
2953  for *cs has also been improved.
2954
2955* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
2956  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
2957  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
2958  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
2959
2960* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
2961  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
2962  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
2963  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
2964  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
2965
2966* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
2967  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
2968  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
2969
2970* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
2971
2972* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
2973
2974* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
2975  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
2976  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
2977
2978* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
2979  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
2980
[6a87cce]2981Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
[5c676e2]2982
[1efeb6d]2983* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
2984  system in use in 3d v8 files.
2985
2986* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
2987  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
[6a87cce]2988  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
2989  export dialog.
[1efeb6d]2990
[ea59b58]2991* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
2992  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
2993  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
2994  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
2995  rather than having one corner there.
2996
[26e7fa4]2997* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
2998  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
2999
[5c676e2]3000* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
3001  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
3002
[515b83e]3003* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
3004  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
3005  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
3006
[5c676e2]3007* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
3008  such as 64-bit Linux.
3009
[2c5ec88]3010* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
3011  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
3012
[5c676e2]3013* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
3014  64-bit platforms.
3015
[ea59b58]3016* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
3017  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
3018  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
3019
[2c5ec88]3020* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
3021  the space available in the aven UI.
3022
[1efeb6d]3023* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
3024  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
3025  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
[ea59b58]3026
[515b83e]3027* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
3028  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
3029
[6a87cce]3030* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
3031  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
3032  about unconnected surveys.
3033
3034* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
3035  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
3036
[67a0fc6]3037* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
3038  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
3039  freed memory.
3040
[1efeb6d]3041* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
3042
3043* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
3044
[2c5ec88]3045* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
3046
[5c676e2]3047* Fix a compiler warning.
3048
3049* Improve test coverage.
3050
[0d365be]3051Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
[acbb5b1]3052
[8ccd1d8]3053* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
3054  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
3055  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
3056
[acbb5b1]3057* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
3058  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
3059  Hugh St Lawrence.
3060
[0d365be]3061* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
[8ccd1d8]3062  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
3063  with using aven on a touch screen device.
3064
[acbb5b1]3065* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
3066  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
3067
3068* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
3069  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
3070
3071* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
3072  off and back on.
3073
3074* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
3075  up time a little.
3076
3077* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
3078  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
3079
3080* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
3081  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
3082  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
3083  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
3084  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
3085  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
3086  situation too.
3087
3088* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
3089  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
3090  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
3091
3092* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
3093
3094* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
3095
3096* Minor translation updates to French.
3097
3098* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
3099
3100* Testsuite improvements:
3101
3102  + Test that "..." anon station works.
3103
3104  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
3105    fail and give an error count.
3106
3107  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
3108
[ad727d8]3109Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
[46d12e9]3110
[63e8642]3111* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
3112  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
3113  Clipstone.
[46d12e9]3114
[ad727d8]3115* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
3116
3117* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
3118
3119  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
3120    overlap the scale bar ticks.
3121
3122  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
3123    clipping the border in print preview.
3124
3125  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
3126
[63e8642]3127* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
3128  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
[46d12e9]3129
[63e8642]3130* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
3131  available.
[46d12e9]3132
[ad727d8]3133* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
3134
3135* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
3136
3137* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
3138  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
3139
[63e8642]3140* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
3141  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
[46d12e9]3142
[63e8642]3143* Various translation updates.
[46d12e9]3144
[aac3336]3145Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
[fb941bfd]3146
3147* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
3148  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
3149
[aac3336]3150* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
3151  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
3152  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
3153  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
3154
[ad3017d]3155* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
3156  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
3157
[77bdacf]3158* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
3159  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
[ad3017d]3160
3161* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
3162  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
3163
3164* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
3165  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
3166
3167* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
3168  box".
3169
3170* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
3171
3172* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
3173  indicators.
3174
3175* aven: All length units are now translatable.
3176
[fb941bfd]3177* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
3178  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
3179  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
3180
[ad3017d]3181* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
3182  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
3183  measurably slower.
3184
3185* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
3186  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
3187
[77bdacf]3188* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
3189  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
3190
[ad3017d]3191* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
3192  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
3193  from Therion and elsewhere.
3194
3195* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
3196  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
3197  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
[fb941bfd]3198
3199* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
3200  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
3201
3202* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
3203  A. Riggs for his work on this.
3204
3205* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
3206  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
3207
3208* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
3209
[ad3017d]3210* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
3211  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
3212  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
3213  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
3214  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
3215  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
3216
3217* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
3218
[0ecf3b1]3219Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
3220
3221* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
3222  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
3223  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
3224  Clipstone.
3225
[53966d3]3226* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
3227  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
3228
[6f0d0d8]3229* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
3230  exported SVG files.
3231
3232* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
3233
3234* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
3235  file.
3236
3237* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
3238  GPX files.
3239
3240* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
3241
[0ecf3b1]3242* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
3243  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
3244
3245* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
3246  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
3247  on startup.
3248
3249* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
3250
3251* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
3252  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
3253  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
3254  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
3255  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
3256  other extensions.
3257
3258* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
3259  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
3260  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
3261  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
3262  timezone wrong.
3263
3264* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
3265
[6f0d0d8]3266* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
3267  'SURVEY DATE:'.
[0ecf3b1]3268
[6f0d0d8]3269* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
[0ecf3b1]3270
[6f0d0d8]3271* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
[0ecf3b1]3272
[53966d3]3273* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
3274  enabled.
3275
[6b6fb4d]3276Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
3277
3278* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
3279
3280* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
3281
3282* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
3283
3284* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
3285  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
3286  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
3287
3288* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
3289  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
3290  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
3291
3292* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
3293  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
3294
3295* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
3296
3297* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
3298
3299* Fix some compiler warnings.
3300
[e1f27c4]3301Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
[da65891]3302
3303* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
3304  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
3305  Holder.
3306
[e1f27c4]3307* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
[034141d]3308  statistics when the value gets large.
3309
[a4adf09]3310* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
3311  equations.
3312
[e1f27c4]3313* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
3314  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
3315  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
3316  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
3317  better when the "View" box is hidden.
3318
[0056ee1]3319* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
3320  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
3321
[e1f27c4]3322* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
3323  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
3324  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
3325  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
3326  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
3327  way is coming soon.
3328
3329* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
3330  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
3331
3332* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
3333  time ago, so update references.
3334
3335* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
3336  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
3337
3338* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
3339  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
3340
3341* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
3342  Sebastian Ramacher.
3343
3344* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
3345
3346* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
3347
3348* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
3349
3350* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
3351
3352* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
3353
3354* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
3355  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
3356  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
3357
3358* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
3359
3360* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
[9fc1cac]3361
[88b54df6]3362* img library:
3363
[e1f27c4]3364  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
3365    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
3366    reading).
3367
3368  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
3369    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
3370
3371  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
3372    support these as an extension.
[88b54df6]3373
[f807d8bf]3374  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
3375
[e1f27c4]3376* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
3377  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
3378  itself has any translations for.
3379
3380* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
3381
3382* Minor translation updates.
3383
3384* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
3385
[e34bebc]3386Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
[65d9b6b]3387
[e34bebc]3388* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
3389  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
3390  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
3391  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
[a5c74f2]3392  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
3393  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
[e34bebc]3394  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
3395  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]3396
[e34bebc]3397* New version 8 of the 3d format:
[07beaa4]3398
[e34bebc]3399  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[07beaa4]3400
[e34bebc]3401  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
3402    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
[da9d788]3403
[e34bebc]3404  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
3405    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
[da9d788]3406
[e34bebc]3407  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
[da9d788]3408
[e34bebc]3409  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
3410    human-readable string.
[da9d788]3411
[e34bebc]3412  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
3413    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
[da9d788]3414
[e34bebc]3415* img library:
[da9d788]3416
[e34bebc]3417  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
[da9d788]3418
[e34bebc]3419  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
3420    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
[da9d788]3421
[e34bebc]3422  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
3423    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
3424    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
3425    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
3426    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
3427    explicitly in the file.
[da9d788]3428
[e34bebc]3429  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
[da9d788]3430
[e34bebc]3431* aven:
[da9d788]3432
[e34bebc]3433  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
3434    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
3435    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
3436    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
3437    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
3438    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
[da9d788]3439
[e34bebc]3440  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
3441    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
3442    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
3443    queued up.
[da9d788]3444
[e34bebc]3445  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
3446    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
3447
3448  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
3449    them like other legs.
3450
3451  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
3452    station names to positions.
3453
3454  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
3455    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
3456    wrongly.
3457
3458  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
3459
3460  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
3461    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
3462    that's used by the desktop).
3463
3464  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
[07beaa4]3465
[e34bebc]3466  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
3467    error from cavern.
[07beaa4]3468
[e34bebc]3469  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
[da9d788]3470
[e34bebc]3471  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
3472    in the dialog in sync.
[da9d788]3473
[e34bebc]3474* cavern:
[3dfffa2]3475
[e34bebc]3476  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
3477    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
3478    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
[3dfffa2]3479
[e34bebc]3480  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
3481    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
[07beaa4]3482
[e34bebc]3483  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
3484    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
3485    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
3486    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
3487    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
3488    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
3489    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
3490    degrees.
[da9d788]3491
[e34bebc]3492  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
3493    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
3494    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
[da9d788]3495
[e34bebc]3496  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
[da9d788]3497
[e34bebc]3498  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
3499    warnings.
[07beaa4]3500
[e34bebc]3501  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
3502    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
[07beaa4]3503
[e34bebc]3504  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
3505    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
[da9d788]3506
[e34bebc]3507  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
3508    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
3509    relevant.
[da9d788]3510
[e34bebc]3511  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
3512    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
3513    the same line.
[da9d788]3514
[e34bebc]3515  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
3516    "End of line not blank" error.
[7f6250a]3517
[e34bebc]3518  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
3519    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
[3dfffa2]3520
[e34bebc]3521  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
3522    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
[07beaa4]3523
[e34bebc]3524  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
3525    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
3526    include that character in the token reported.
[3dfffa2]3527
[e34bebc]3528  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
3529    first item.
[07beaa4]3530
[e34bebc]3531* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
[07beaa4]3532
[e34bebc]3533* dump3d:
[07beaa4]3534
[e34bebc]3535  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
3536    info from 3d files in scripts.
[07beaa4]3537
[e34bebc]3538  + Add --show-dates option.
[07beaa4]3539
[e34bebc]3540  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
[07beaa4]3541
[e34bebc]3542  + Report the data style of legs.
[da9d788]3543
[e34bebc]3544  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
3545
3546  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
[3dfffa2]3547
3548* Test suite:
3549
3550  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
3551    expected output so it passes reliably.
3552
[e34bebc]3553  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
3554    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
3555
[07beaa4]3556  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
3557    for more.
3558
[e34bebc]3559* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
3560  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
3561  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
[3dfffa2]3562
3563* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
3564  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
3565
3566* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
3567  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
3568
[e34bebc]3569* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
[665183c]3570  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
[e34bebc]3571  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
3572  settings.
3573
3574* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
3575  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
3576  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
3577  set correctly.
3578
3579* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
3580  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
3581  them to translate.
3582
[07beaa4]3583* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
3584  close to complete.
[3dfffa2]3585
3586* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
3587
[07beaa4]3588* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
3589
[e34bebc]3590* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
3591
[c575465]3592Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
[b081031]3593
3594* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
3595
3596* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
3597  package (ticket#35).
3598
3599* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
3600  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
3601  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
3602
3603* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
3604  Kahler.
3605
3606* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
[c575465]3607  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
3608  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
3609  libproj and build survex with:
3610
3611      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3612      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
[b081031]3613
3614* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
3615
3616* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
3617
3618* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
3619  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
3620  file".
3621
[685116f]3622Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
3623
3624* aven:
3625
3626  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
3627
3628  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
3629    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
3630
3631  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
3632
3633  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
3634
3635  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
3636    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
3637
3638* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
3639  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
3640  error early on).
3641
3642* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
3643  the man page source as well as in the filename.
3644
[f15ca67f]3645Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
3646
3647* aven:
3648
3649  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
3650    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
3651    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
3652    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
3653
3654  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
3655    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
3656
3657  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
3658
3659  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
3660
3661  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
3662
3663* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
3664
[5b9942e]3665Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
3666
3667* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
3668
3669* (Mac OS X version):
3670
3671  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
3672
3673  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
3674
3675  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
3676    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
3677
3678  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
3679
3680* aven:
3681
3682  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
3683
3684  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
3685
3686    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
3687      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
3688      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
3689      character.
3690
3691    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
3692      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
3693      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
3694      and two in a few cases.
3695
3696    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
3697      8 pixels.
3698
3699  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
3700    draw crosses.
3701
[3ea0178]3702  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
3703    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
3704    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
3705    is the start or end of a tube.
3706
[5b9942e]3707  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
3708    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
3709
3710  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
3711    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
3712    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
3713
[3ea0178]3714* extend:
3715
3716  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
[5b9942e]3717
[3ea0178]3718  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
3719    which means "no info").
3720
3721* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
3722  was no longer used - it certainly is!
3723
3724* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
3725  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
3726  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
3727  current character set.
[5b9942e]3728
[3ea0178]3729* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
[5b9942e]3730
3731* Test suite:
3732
3733  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
3734
3735  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
3736
[94960ad]3737Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
3738
3739* aven:
3740
3741  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
3742    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
3743    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
3744    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
3745    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
3746    usable format.
3747
3748  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
3749    files.  (ticket#26)
3750
3751  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
3752    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
3753
[53f8a93]3754  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
3755    using lines.
3756
[94960ad]3757  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
3758    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
3759
3760  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
3761    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
3762    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
3763    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
3764
3765  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
3766    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
3767    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
3768
3769  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
3770    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
3771    in 1.2.1.
3772
[9704252]3773Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
[e3c58c3]3774
3775* Translation updates for US English.
3776
3777* aven:
3778
3779  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
3780    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
3781
3782  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
3783
3784  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
3785    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
3786    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
3787    visually similar to the survey legs.
3788
3789  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
3790    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
3791
[9704252]3792  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
3793    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
3794    does still provide some useful information).
3795
3796  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
3797    a depth band boundary.
[e3c58c3]3798
3799  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
[9704252]3800    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
3801    full-screen mode).
[e3c58c3]3802
3803  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
3804    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
3805    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
3806    are a little better, though still not perfect.
3807
3808  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
3809    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
3810
3811  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
3812    that station.
3813
3814  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
3815    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
3816
3817  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
3818    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
3819    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
[9704252]3820    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
3821    a case as it is a bug).
[e3c58c3]3822
[9704252]3823  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
3824    invalidated on window width or height changes.
[e3c58c3]3825
3826  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
3827    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
3828    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
3829    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
3830
[9704252]3831  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
3832    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
3833    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
3834    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
3835    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
3836    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
3837    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
[e3c58c3]3838
3839  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
3840    similarly for other compass points.
3841
3842  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
3843    info in the "About" dialog.
3844
3845  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
3846    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
3847
3848  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
3849    as well as still working with older versions.
3850
3851  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
3852    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
3853
3854  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
3855    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
3856    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
3857    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
3858    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
3859
3860  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
3861    nicer and make better use of the available space.
3862
3863  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
3864    dialog.
3865
3866  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
3867    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
3868
3869  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
3870    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
3871
[9704252]3872  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
3873
[e3c58c3]3874  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
3875
3876  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
3877    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
3878    being pressed and toggle full screen.
3879
3880* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
3881  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
3882
3883* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
3884
3885* More messages are now available to be translated.
3886
3887* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
3888  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
3889
3890* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
3891
3892* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
3893  sudo for installing on Unix.
3894
3895* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
3896  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
3897
3898* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
3899  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
3900
3901* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
3902
[120c1c6]3903Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
[b4ac7007]3904
3905* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
3906  English.
3907
[9cfcb3f]3908* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
3909  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
3910  case.
3911
3912* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
3913  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
3914  these into Survex's .msg format.
3915
[b4ac7007]3916* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
3917  an actual command).
3918
[9cfcb3f]3919* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
3920  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
3921  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
3922  recurrence of that).
3923
[b4ac7007]3924* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
3925  than /usr/doc/survex.
3926
3927* aven:
3928
[120c1c6]3929  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
3930
[9cfcb3f]3931  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
3932    nicer at larger sizes.
3933
[b4ac7007]3934  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
3935    with GLX >= 1.3.
3936
3937  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
3938
3939  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
[4095cc0]3940    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
3941    required libraries set up for building releases.
[b4ac7007]3942
3943  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
3944
3945  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
3946
3947  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
3948    rendered with icons on some platforms.
3949
[9cfcb3f]3950  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
3951    ISO8859-1).
3952
3953  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
3954    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
3955
3956  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
3957    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
3958
[b4ac7007]3959* cavern:
3960
3961  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
3962    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
3963    fatal error!
3964
[9cfcb3f]3965  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
3966    format to output.  (ticket#21)
3967
3968* img library:
3969
3970  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
3971    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
3972
[b4ac7007]3973* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
[120c1c6]3974  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
[b4ac7007]3975
[8f9b0b6d]3976Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
[ecdb631]3977
3978* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
3979  Portuguese, and US English.
3980
3981* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
[ec8fd0d]3982  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
[ecdb631]3983
3984* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
3985  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
3986
3987* img.c:
3988
3989  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
3990
3991  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
3992
3993* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
3994
[8f9b0b6d]3995* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
3996  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
3997  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
3998  translated.
3999
[f5e3521]4000Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
[2d16e4e]4001
4002* aven:
4003
4004  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
4005    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
4006
4007  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
4008    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
4009    addresses ticket#12.
4010
4011  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
4012    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
4013    consistent shape.
4014
4015  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
4016    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
4017    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
4018    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
4019
4020  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
4021    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
4022
4023  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
4024
4025  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
4026    more places.
4027
4028  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
[f5e3521]4029    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
4030
4031* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
4032
4033* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
4034  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
4035
4036* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
[2d16e4e]4037
4038* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
4039  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
4040  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
4041  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
4042  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
4043  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
4044
4045* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
4046  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
4047  redirecting to it.
4048
4049* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
4050  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
4051  I/O).
4052
4053* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
4054  headers.
4055
4056* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
4057
4058* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
4059  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
4060
4061* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
4062
[f9473ab]4063Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
4064
4065* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
4066
4067* aven:
4068
4069  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
4070    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
4071    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
4072    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
4073
4074  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
4075
4076  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
4077    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
4078    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
4079    a number.
4080
4081  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
4082    log window.
4083
4084  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
4085    various cases.
4086
4087  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
4088    (ticket#9)
4089
4090  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
4091    namespace with its own "Point" class.
4092
4093  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
4094    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
4095
4096  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
4097
4098  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
4099    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
4100
4101* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
4102  give them before.
4103
4104* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
4105  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
4106  point looking for them now.
4107
4108* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
4109  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
4110  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
4111  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
4112
4113* manual:
4114
4115  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
4116
4117  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
4118    (change taken from 1.0).
4119
4120* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
4121
[0bd49eb]4122Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
[90d0d71]4123
4124* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
4125
[739b92c]4126* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
[90d0d71]4127
4128* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
[f1cbf74]4129
4130* aven:
4131
[90d0d71]4132  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
4133
4134  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
4135    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
4136    seem to be Unicode now).
4137
4138  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
4139    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
4140
[e4bfd2f]4141  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
4142    text on the survey pane:
4143
4144    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
4145
4146    - Character spacing is improved.
4147
4148    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
[90d0d71]4149
4150  + "About" dialog:
4151
4152    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
4153      bug reporting.
4154
4155    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
4156      modern gfx card.
4157
4158    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
4159
4160  + Processing .svx files:
4161
4162    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
[1324d6c]4163
[739b92c]4164    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
4165      than opening a separate frame for it.
4166
[90d0d71]4167    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
4168
4169    - Fix small memory leak.
4170
4171  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
4172    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
4173    such a name.
4174
4175  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
4176
[e4bfd2f]4177  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
4178    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
4179    invocations.
4180
[90d0d71]4181  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
4182
4183  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
4184
[739b92c]4185  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
4186
[90d0d71]4187* Documentation:
4188
[e4bfd2f]4189  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
4190
4191  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
4192    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
4193    together isn't very useful.
4194
[90d0d71]4195  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
4196
4197  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
4198    the FSF website.
4199
4200  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
4201    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
4202    the source code.
4203
4204* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
4205  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
[f1cbf74]4206
[e4bfd2f]4207* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
4208  package from the source tarball.
4209
[739b92c]4210* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
4211  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
4212
[2e12f8c]4213Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
[5940815]4214
4215* aven:
4216
[3db0798]4217  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
4218
[5940815]4219  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
4220
[6b2113d]4221  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
4222    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
4223    names/crosses).
4224
[920b066]4225Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
4226
4227* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
4228
[99d8798]4229* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
4230
[920b066]4231* aven:
[78c67a6]4232
[920b066]4233  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
[99d8798]4234
[920b066]4235  + Fix character spacing.
[99d8798]4236
[920b066]4237  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
4238    proportional fonts.
[99d8798]4239
[920b066]4240  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
4241    rather than the filename.
[99d8798]4242
[920b066]4243  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
[99d8798]4244
[920b066]4245  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
4246    depth colouring.
[99d8798]4247
[920b066]4248  + Add "Colour by Error".
[99d8798]4249
[920b066]4250  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
[99d8798]4251
[920b066]4252  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
[99d8798]4253
[920b066]4254  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
[99d8798]4255
[920b066]4256  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
[99d8798]4257
[920b066]4258  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
[99d8798]4259
[920b066]4260  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
[99d8798]4261
[920b066]4262  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
[99d8798]4263
[920b066]4264  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
4265    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
[99d8798]4266
[920b066]4267  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
[99d8798]4268
[920b066]4269  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
4270    default.
[99d8798]4271
[920b066]4272* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
4273  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
[99d8798]4274
[920b066]4275* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
4276  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
[99d8798]4277
[920b066]4278* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
[99d8798]4279
[920b066]4280* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
[99d8798]4281
[920b066]4282Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
[ac3f376]4283
4284* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
4285  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
4286  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
4287  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
4288  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
4289
4290* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
4291  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
4292  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
[90d0d71]4293
[ac3f376]4294* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
4295  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
4296  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
4297
4298* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
4299  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
4300  allowed).
4301
4302* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
4303
4304* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4305
4306* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4307
[920b066]4308Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
[6a2594be]4309
4310* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
4311  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
4312
4313* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
4314  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
4315  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
4316
4317* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
4318  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
4319  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
4320  the new "*data passage" style.
4321
4322* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
4323  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
4324
4325* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
4326  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
4327  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
4328  some cases.
4329
4330* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
4331  with no survey loaded.
4332
4333* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
4334
4335* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
4336  loaded a survey.
4337
4338* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
4339
4340* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
4341
4342* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
4343  doesn't exist.
4344
4345* Updated French and Italian translations.
4346
4347* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
[f3cfd13]4348  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
4349
[6a2594be]4350* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
4351  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
4352  update their copy).
4353
4354* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
4355  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
4356  trying to compile).
4357
[920b066]4358Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
[cd39f67]4359
[c988ae4]4360* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
4361  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
4362
[9577fcc]4363* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
4364  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
4365  has been disabled.
4366
[ecf2d23]4367* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
4368  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
4369  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
4370  time.
4371
[d1628e8e]4372* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
4373  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
4374  highlighted stations.
4375
[e67ed1b]4376* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
4377
[3ddd351]4378* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
4379  the tilt from plan to elevation.
4380
[c988ae4]4381* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
4382  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
4383
4384* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
4385  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
4386  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
4387
4388* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
4389  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
4390
4391* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
4392
[84f1ed1]4393* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
4394
[a884696]4395* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
4396
[9fe7af4f]4397* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
4398  run by an unprivileged user.
4399
4400* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
4401  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
4402  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
4403
4404* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
4405  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
4406
[cd39f67]4407* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
4408
[afffec4]4409* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
[5e74c26]4410  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
[581624b]4411
[38a192d]4412* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
4413  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
4414
[5892e08]4415* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
4416  if it isn't.
4417
[879e9c3]4418* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
4419  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
4420
[c8f929b]4421* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
4422  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
4423
4424* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
4425  reset to default view as well).
4426
4427* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
4428  empty.
4429
4430* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
4431  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
4432
[9ad92cc]4433* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
[ecf2d23]4434  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
4435  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
[9ad92cc]4436
4437* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
4438  and non-zero width lines.
4439
4440* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
4441  was turned on.
4442
4443* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
4444  not always being fully written.
4445
[920b066]4446Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
[6662d02]4447
4448* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
4449  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
4450  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
4451  date near the middle of that period).
[e0c7cd1]4452
[8add4c9]4453* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
4454  with MS Windows).
4455
[9f524ee]4456* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
4457  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
4458  several surveys in the same directory).
4459
[185d793]4460* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
[3efd6b6]4461  our check for them to include that knowledge.
[185d793]4462
[3515947]4463* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
4464
[1235f9b]4465* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
4466  moved off a station.
4467
[4299674]4468* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
[d74279d]4469  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
[4299674]4470
[60dbe70]4471* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
4472
[125c9ea]4473* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
4474  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
4475
[ec58e3d3]4476* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
4477  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
4478  dialogs.
4479
[8add4c9]4480* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
4481  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
4482
[6662d02]4483* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
4484  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
[d74279d]4485  introduced in 1.1.6).
[6662d02]4486
[b65c13f]4487* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
4488  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
4489  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
4490
[17cce5f]4491* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
4492  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
4493
[affaeee]4494* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
4495
[618b01f]4496* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
4497
[920b066]4498Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
[7e01c87]4499
4500* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
4501  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
4502
[b88b171]4503* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
4504  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
4505  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
4506  3d file.
4507
[7e01c87]4508* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
4509
4510* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
4511
4512* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
4513  Instead turn off depth colouring.
4514
[8ea82aa]4515* aven: Export as HPGL added.
4516
[887c26e]4517* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
4518  Martin Green).
4519
[7c29c976]4520* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
4521  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
4522  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
4523
[7e01c87]4524* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
[bd21214]4525
[7e01c87]4526* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
4527  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
4528
4529* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
4530  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
4531  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
4532  of everything else.
4533
4534* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
4535  presentation icons.
4536
4537* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
4538  keyboard focus there.
[bd21214]4539
[b46bf92]4540* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
4541
[796d7bf]4542* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
4543
[7e01c87]4544* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
4545
4546* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
4547
[b88b171]4548* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
4549  language to use for messages.
4550
[7c29c976]4551* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
4552  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
4553
[8ea82aa]4554* Removed old printer drivers.
4555
[7e01c87]4556* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
4557  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
[8ea82aa]4558
[920b066]4559Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
[106cfdf]4560
4561* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
4562
[4ba80e0]4563* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
4564
4565* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
4566  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
4567
[95ce35f]4568* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
4569  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
[90d0d71]4570
[95ce35f]4571* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
4572
[cd78148]4573* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
4574  underground legs is toggled.
4575
[f5627353]4576* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
4577  attached to the previous data.
4578
[dfe4a520]4579* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
4580  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
4581  them.
4582
[920b066]4583Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
[4855072]4584
4585* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
4586
4587* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
4588  continental European countries).
4589
4590* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
4591  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
4592  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
4593
4594* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
4595
4596* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
4597  they're needed.
4598
4599* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
4600
4601* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
4602
4603* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
4604
4605* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
4606  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
4607  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
4608
4609* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
4610
[920b066]4611Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
[0e558e5]4612
4613* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
4614
4615* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
4616
4617* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
4618
4619* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
4620
4621* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
4622
4623* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
4624
4625* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
4626  when there's a presentation loaded.
4627
4628* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
4629  in cave view.
4630
4631* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
4632
4633* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
4634  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
4635  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
4636
4637* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
4638  filename for file history and window title.
4639
4640* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
4641  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
4642  only needed with GTK1.2.
4643
4644* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
4645
4646* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
4647
4648* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
4649
4650* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
4651
4652Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
[8faa5d8]4653
4654* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
4655  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
4656  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
4657
4658* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
4659  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
4660
4661* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
4662  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
4663  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
4664  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
[1a09e2c]4665
[0e558e5]4666* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
[8faa5d8]4667
4668* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
4669  with --help and --version.
4670
4671* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
4672  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
[6225339]4673  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
[8faa5d8]4674  Fixed all these problems.
4675
4676* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
4677  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
4678  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
4679
4680* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
[0e558e5]4681  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
4682  sources.
[8faa5d8]4683
[0e558e5]4684* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
[8faa5d8]4685
4686* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
4687
4688* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
4689  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
4690
4691* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
4692  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
4693  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
4694  animating.
4695
4696* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
4697
4698* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
4699
4700* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
4701  to this branch.
4702
4703* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
4704
4705  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
4706
4707  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
4708
4709  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
4710
4711* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
[1a09e2c]4712
[8faa5d8]4713* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
4714  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
4715
4716* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
4717
4718* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
[0e558e5]4719  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
[8faa5d8]4720
4721* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
4722
4723* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
4724  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
4725  for anyone building from CVS).
4726
4727* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
4728
[4855072]4729* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
[8faa5d8]4730
4731* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
4732
4733* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
4734
[0e558e5]4735* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
4736  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
[8faa5d8]4737  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
4738
4739* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
4740  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
4741
4742* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
4743
4744* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
[0130bc4]4745  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
4746  loaded).
[8faa5d8]4747
4748* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
4749
[920b066]4750Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
[a7aa27d9]4751
4752* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
[1a09e2c]4753  startup.
[a7aa27d9]4754
4755* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
4756  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
4757
[920b066]4758Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
[edb6576]4759
[91e416e]4760* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
4761  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
4762  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]4763
[91e416e]4764* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
4765  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
4766  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]4767
[91e416e]4768* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
4769  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
4770  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]4771
[91e416e]4772* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]4773
[0580c6a]4774* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
4775  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
4776
[4261983]4777* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
4778  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
4779
4780* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
4781  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]4782
[f80077a]4783* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]4784
[6abab84]4785* aven: Perspective view.
4786
[91e416e]4787* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]4788
[91e416e]4789* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
4790  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]4791
[1690fa9]4792* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
4793  and load/save/run them.
4794
[0580c6a]4795* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
4796
[045e2af]4797* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
4798
[c60062d]4799* aven: Depth fogging option.
4800
[0580c6a]4801* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
4802
4803* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
4804
[f433fda]4805* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
4806  showing the surface legs.
4807
[0580c6a]4808* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
