[a7aa27d9]1Changes in 1.1.1:
2
3* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
4  startup.             
5
6* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
7  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
8
[0580c6a]9Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0:
[edb6576]10
[91e416e]11* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
12  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
13  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
[edb6576]14
[91e416e]15* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
16  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
17  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
[edb6576]18
[91e416e]19* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
20  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
21  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
[edb6576]22
[91e416e]23* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
[edb6576]24
[0580c6a]25* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
26  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
27
[4261983]28* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
29  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
30
31* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
32  better use of screen space.
[edb6576]33
[f80077a]34* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
[edb6576]35
[6abab84]36* aven: Perspective view.
37
[91e416e]38* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
[edb6576]39
[91e416e]40* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
41  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
[edb6576]42
[1690fa9]43* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
44  and load/save/run them.
45
[0580c6a]46* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
47
[045e2af]48* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
49
[c60062d]50* aven: Depth fogging option.
51
[0580c6a]52* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
53
54* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
55
[f433fda]56* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
57  showing the surface legs.
58
[0580c6a]59* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
[da6c802]60
[0580c6a]61Changes in 1.0.32:
[db452ae]62
[0580c6a]63* aven: Fixed font sizes in "Print Preview" and printouts.
[a517825]64
[0580c6a]65* aven: In the print setup dialog, replaced "Orientation" radio buttons with
66  "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons.
67
68* aven: Fixed info box on printouts of elevations, tilted views, and
69  extend elevations.
70
71* aven: Added "fit on one page" option, and make it the default.
72
73* aven: Reorder "Cancel", "Preview", "Print" buttons and make "Print" the
74  default button.
75
76* aven: Read settings back from the print dialog when the "Print" button is
77  pressed (was only done for "Preview" previously).
78
79* aven: Sorted out the initial size of the "Print Preview" window.
80
81* aven: Fixed the window manager's close button on the "Print Preview" window
82  - previously this was being ignored.
83
84* aven: Sorted out initial survey scaling when loading a survey at startup.
85
86* aven: Fixed the measuring line to work better when the survey tree is
87  manipulated with keys.  Tweaked redrawing of the measuring line to be a
88  smidgen more efficient.  Fixed the blob and ring size which were one
89  pixel too small on Windows.
90
91* aven: Added "System Information:" section to the "About" dialog to hold
92  information useful when reporting bugs.  Currently it contains the wxWindows
93  version, OS version, and colour depth information.
94
95* aven: Changed the "About" dialog's "Close" button to be "OK" for consistency
96  with pretty much every other application.
97
98* aven: Added "File->Export as..." which integrates cad3d's functionality
99  within aven.
100
101* aven: Updated a few icons.
102
103* cad3d: Added SVG export support from John Pybus
104
105* (Unix version): Fixed to allow compilation with GCC 3.4
106
107* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to using innosetup 4 for the installer
108  (we were using innosetup 2).  This results in a much smaller download
109  and the installer now translates itself into the currently set language.
110  The installer will no longer work on Windows NT 3.51, but I seriously
111  doubt anyone is still using that...
112
113* Updates to German translation.
114
115Changes in 1.0.31:
116
117* (MS Windows version): Fixed problems with the new printing code by building
118  with a newer version of wxWindows (2.5.2 instead of 2.4.1).
119
120* aven: Fixed grid menu item so that it always correctly reflects whether the
121  grid is enabled or not.
122
123* aven: Minor improvements to appearance of a few toolbar icons.
124
125* Updates to Catalan, French, Italian, Romanian, Slovak, and Spanish
126  translations.
127
128* cavern: Fixed Romanian message which was appearing in English .err files.
129
130Changes in 1.0.30:
131
132* aven: Added printing directly from Aven!
133
134* aven: Fixed memory leak when showing the "About" dialog.
135
136* (MacOS X version): Now installable from a disk image package.
137
138* cavern: Equates are no longer considered when deciding which stations are
139  flagged as surface and underground.
140
141* Romanian translation mostly completed.
142
143* (Unix version): Debian: Minor packaging tweaks.
144
145Changes in 1.0.29:
146
147* cad3d: Fixed problem with DXF files which stopped them loading with some
148  drawing packages (introduced in 1.0.27).
149
150* aven: Changed File->Exit to File->Quit.
151
152* Removed some unused messages from the message files.
153
154* (Unix version): Fixed SRPMs to build on RedHat 9 and Fedora Core 1 (patch
155  from John Pybus).
156
157* Romanian translation started.
158
159* (Unix version): Debian: Fixed new lintian warnings about missing quotes in
160  menu files.
161
162Changes in 1.0.28:
163
164* Fixed 3d file reading code to fix incorrect unpacking of compressed station
165  names in a rare case.  Also checked other rare cases work correctly.
166
167Changes in 1.0.27:
168
169* cad3d: DXF output now puts surface legs, stations, and labels in separate
170  layers.
171
172* (Unix version): distribute desc-svxedit.txt.
[b462168]173
[1809849]174Changes in 1.0.26:
[b462168]175
[b4fe9fb]176* cavern: Fixed interleaved topofil data style - the length was always being
177  calculated as zero.
[b462168]178
179* (Unix version): aven: "All Files" now shows files without extensions too.
180
[b4fe9fb]181* aven: added Ctrl+Q as shortcut for File->Exit.
182
183* aven: depth colouring now uses a proper colour gradient.
184
185* (MacOS X version): aven: the keyboard and mouse now work!  It turns out that
186  we must apply resources *after* installing.
187
188* (MacOS X version): aven: now works when run from the MacOS X Finder.
189
190* (MacOS X version): look for message files and other resources relative to the
191  binaries so that the user can install Survex from a disk image in the location
192  of their choice.
193
194* (MacOS X version): fixed not to try to build aven if wxWindows isn't
195  installed.
196
[63dc4eb]197* cad3d: fixed -e and -r options to not crash (the long versions have always
198  worked).
199
200* extend: fixed to initialise an internal structure - failing to do so was
201  probably causing crashes on some platforms.
[b4fe9fb]202
[2934e83]203* Fixed standard graphics for "Note", "Warning", etc in the PostScript manual.
204
[b4fe9fb]205* Documentation updated.
206
[63dc4eb]207* (Unix version): fixed svxedit man page which previously contained xcaverot
[b4fe9fb]208  documentation!
209
210* test suite: check that cavern doesn't report "nan" or "NaN" for any values.
211
[63dc4eb]212* (Unix version): fixed configure --enable-defaultlang=XX to work.
[b4fe9fb]213
214* (Unix version): fixed configure code to turn on lots of GCC warnings and fixed
215  most of them.
[b5a3219]216
[63dc4eb]217* (MS Windows version): assorted tweaks to allow building with MS Visual C/C++.
218
[b462168]219Changes in 1.0.25:
220
221* (MacOS X version): hopefully fixed building of aven.
222
223* (Unix version): updated config.guess and config.sub so should build out of
224  the box on more Unix platforms.
225
226* (Unix version): Debian: added missing Build-Depends on xlibs-dev.
227
228* (Unix version): RPMs: give up supplying binary RPMs due to apparently
229  insurmountable technical problems.
230 
231Changes in 1.0.24:
232
233* cavern: fixed LEVEL (broken since around 1.0.8) and added test case.
234
235* cavern: corrected handling of declination in Compass DAT files and added test
236  case; also added tests for other aspects of Compass DAT file reading.
237
238* printps/printpcl: fixed blank page detection in some obscure cases.
239
240* Documentation: started manual section on working with Compass data files.
241
242* (Unix version): fixed compilation problems with aven and getopt.h on MacOS X
243  (and probably some other Unix versions).
244
245* (Unix version): Debian package now Build-Depends on gcc-3.2 and g++-3.2.
246
247Changes in 1.0.23:
248
249* Documentation: include 3d v3 file format description on MS Windows, MS DOS,
250  and RISC OS too; include PNG graphics for manual on MS Windows; minor updates
251  to manual.
252
253* Prefer wxWindows 2.4 if it's available.
254
255* (MacOS X version): detect MacOS X and look for MacOS X build of wxWindows;
256  automatically add resource fork to aven binary.
257
258* Disabled experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - it isn't currently
259  working and makes the printer drivers unusable on Chinese versions of MS
260  Windows.
261
262* (Unix version): tweaked debian packaging.
263
264* cavern: Handling of "*:" at start of file wasn't fully fixed in 1.0.19.
265
266Changes in 1.0.22:
267
268* aven: Fixed handling of extended elevations (and other flat surveys) -
269  they are meant to be "locked flat" but this wasn't fully working before.
270
271* Documentation: 3d v3 file format description: fixed error in description of
272  codes 0x01-0x0e; include it in binary packages (not only with the source
273  code).
274
275Changes in 1.0.21:
276
277* cavern: when reading Compass DAT files, we now processes compass and clino
278  backsights, and recognise the "X" flag which indicates a leg should be
279  entirely ignored.  And we now report correct line number with errors in
280  Compass .MAK files.
281
282* cavern: if "*infer plumbs on", don't infer a plumb if the clino is
283  +/- 90 degrees, but the backclino isn't (and vice versa).
284
285* cavern: fixed 3dx output so it actually works with Chasm once more.
286
287* cavern: don't allocate extra space needed for producing 3dx output for
288  Chasm unless we're actually producing that output - saves about 8 bytes
289  per station.
290
291* cavern: removed slightly too keen sanity check which could misfire in very
292  unusual circumstances.
293
294* (MS Windows version): all .ico files except 3d.ico have been missing since
295  1.0.17 (or maybe 1.0.16) - fixed.  You wouldn't notice this if you installed
296  over an previous version.
297
298Changes in 1.0.20:
299
300* aven: update display when "Metric" or "Degrees" is toggled.
301
302* cavern: fixed handling of compass and clino corrections in Compass survey
303  data - these were interpreted as radians rather than degrees so the
304  correction was about 57 times too large!)
305
306* Improved handling of Compass PLT files - if the survey name is empty, don't
307  insert a survey separator character.
308
309* Documentation: fixed incorrect markup which resulted in a bogus footnote.
310
311Changes in 1.0.19:
312
313* cavern: you can now process Compass format survey data (.DAT and .MAK files) -
314  these can even be linked into a Survex dataset with "*include fulford.dat" or
315  "*include lech.mak" to allow processing of mixed datasets.
316
317* cavern: major speedup (up to 60%) when reading in survey data containing
318  a lot of stations in the same survey hierarchy level (which is how Compass
319  files are handled).
320
321* cavern: don't warn about a compass reading on a plumbed leg if the
322  plumb was inferred and the compass reading is zero.
323
324* cavern: reduced memory usage in code which reads a survey station name.
325
326* cavern: reported CPU time would go negative if cavern ran for more than
327  about 36 minutes (highly unlikely but not impossible on a slow machine
328  with a large, highly interconnect survey) - fixed.
329
330* cavern: avoid unnecessary work when --percentage isn't specified.
331
332* cavern: Writing "*:" at the start of a .svx file would crash cavern - fixed
333  and added test case.  This is an error anyway, but it shouldn't cause a
334  crash.
335
[89a6a1e]336* Don't distribute unused toolbar icons.
337
[b462168]338* Documentation: minor updates.
339
[27b8b59]340Changes in 1.0.18:
341
[b462168]342* (Unix version): Fixed "Process" action on .svx files.
[27b8b59]343
[b462168]344* (Unix version): File associations: if svxedit isn't installed, run gnome-edit
345  instead.
[27b8b59]346
[b462168]347* (Unix version): In Debian packages, now include file associations and file
[27b8b59]348  icons in the survex package rather than survex-aven.
349
[b462168]350* (Unix version): File associations were missing from RPM packages; moved
[27b8b59]351  aven and svxedit man pages to their respective subpackages; moved aven icons
352  to the aven subpackage.
353
354* Documentation: added details of the 3d file format (version 3).
355
356* Updated TODO list.
357
358Changes in 1.0.17:
359
[b462168]360* (MS Windows version): Fixed "Open in SvxEdit" to work (and if tcl isn't
[27b8b59]361  install this action now falls back to using notepad).  SvxEdit now has
362  its own icon.
363
[b462168]364* (Unix version): Install mime types, icons, and file associations for Gnome.
[27b8b59]365  Note: at present GMC doesn't seem to notice new files being created (e.g.
366  Process on a .svx file creates .3d and .err files) - you have to manually
367  refresh the view.
368
369* Minor update to manual.
370
371Changes in 1.0.16:
372
[b462168]373* (MS Windows version): Really fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
[27b8b59]374  programs from finding the message files.
375
[b462168]376* (MS Windows version): Remove any existing "Open" file association for .svx
[27b8b59]377  files.
378
379Changes in 1.0.15:
380
[b462168]381* (MS Windows version): Fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
[27b8b59]382  programs from finding the message files.
383
[b462168]384* (MS Windows version): "Open in Notepad" is now the double-click action
[27b8b59]385  for .svx files once again, "Open in SvxEdit" is an action in the menu
386  obtained with the right mouse button.
387
388Changes in 1.0.14:
389
390* svxedit: This is a Survex data entry editor from the therion team.  It needs
391  tcl and wish installed - for MS Windows an installer is available for free
392  from Activeware.
393
[ee1ec59]394* Improved handling of Compass PLT files and CMAP xyz files - no longer change
395  dots to spaces in survey and station names - instead use a space as the
396  separator between survey name and station name.
[27b8b59]397
398* aven: when picking non-overlapping labels, show a slight preference to shorter
399  labels with the aim of displaying more labels.
400
401* aven: fixed hard to notice problem which could cause the cave to appear
402  tilted sideways after a lot of manipulation.
403
404* cavern: Modest speed improvement (0.5% for sample dataset).
[ee1ec59]405
406* cavern: fixed a rarely sighted bug which caused erroneous error about some
[21c226e]407  stations not being attached to a fixed point.
408
[e7576f6]409* cavern: fixed clino readings and DIRECTION to work in interleaved data.
[21c226e]410
[ee1ec59]411* cavern: improved error reporting when an invalid value is given for a
412  DIRECTION reading.
413
[42d23c5]414* cavern: fixed "singular matrix" error when very low SDs were specified.
415
[27b8b59]416* print*: if the --raw is used, the survey can now use the space this would
417  have taken up.
418
419* Reading of ASCII 3d files now copes with MSDOS/MS Windows line endings
420  once again.  Added regression test for this.
421
[b462168]422* (MS Windows version): Programs run from the command line now find message
[27b8b59]423  files without SURVEXHOME needing to be set.
424
[21c226e]425* Updated documentation.
426
427Changes in 1.0.13:
428
429* aven: Fixed bug which caused the occasional spurious leg to be shown
430  connecting arbitrary stations.
[27b8b59]431
[21c226e]432* extend: try to extend along a survey, and make breaks where other surveys
433  join.
434
435* cavern: Number reading code reworked to allow repeat readings to be
436  supported, but the actual repeat reading code is currently disabled,
437  and everything should work exactly as before.
438
439* Experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - only a few messages are
440  currently translated.
441
[50b0c7f]442Changes in 1.0.12:
443
[950e261]444* diffpos: fixed to work on 64bit architectures.
445
[dd5a89c]446* sorterr: fixed to work with more than 1024 traverses.
447
[abd126e]448* Fixed handling of iso-8859-2 character set and MS Windows code page 1250
449  (both cover Eastern European languages).
[27b8b59]450
[b462168]451* (MS Windows version): install file associations for Compass .plt and .plf
[f3d5b20]452  files and for CMAP .xyz files.  Also install the file icon for .plt and
453  .plf files in case Compass isn't installed (thanks to Larry Fish for
454  permission to include the icon).
455
456* (Unix version): running an installed program with an explicit path works
457  again.
458
459* (Unix version): xcaverot: automatically switch on PDA mode if the screen is
[15d7cc1]460  less than 640 pixels wide or less than 480 pixels high.
[f3d5b20]461
462* (Unix version): minor portability improvements.
463
[50b0c7f]464* Updates to Portuguese translation - all translations are now up-to-date.
465
[b8c4913]466Changes in 1.0.11:
467
[496a208]468* aven: improvements in 1.0.10 to the file type selector only work properly
469  on MS Windows, and with wxGtk >= 2.3 on Unix (the latest stable release is
470  2.2.9 where this doesn't work).  Fixed to work as well as possible on 2.2.9,
471  and as intended on 2.3.
472
[52634cc]473* aven: fixed so that loading PLT files works regardless of the current locale
474  (previously it would fail for locales where the decimal character wasn't
475  '.').
476
[7757a4ed]477* aven: key actions during autorotation no longer temporarily pause
478  autorotation.
479
[cc9150c]480* aven: switching to plan or elevation while rotating is now smooth.
481
482* aven: removed undocumented and confusing "free rotation mode".
483
484* (MS Windows version): aven: focus now set correctly after loading a file by
485  double-clicking or from the command line.
486
[a3326288]487* cad3d: write dummy passage dimensions to .plt files to avoid Compass bug.
488
[ca4058d]489* printwin/printps: now support coloured printouts.
490
[a3326288]491* print*: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
492
493* extend: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
[388ad50]494
[d275723]495* Updates to Italian translation.
496
[0f125da]497* Minor documentation updates.
498
[5215b99]499Changes in 1.0.10:
500
[6097cd2]501* (MS Windows version): aven: fixed assert failure upon turning on station
502  names.
503
[c01c332]504* aven: only add a file to the list of recently used files if it was opened
505  successfully.
506
[d16db18]507* aven: recognise ".plf" as a Compass PLT file too; and on Unix list "*.PLT",
508  "*.PLF", "*.XYZ", and "*.3D" as well as the lowercase versions to help people
509  who transfer files from MSDOS/MS Windows.
510
[cfcfd28]511* cavern: fixed bogus warning triggered by "*begin abc.def" (I'm not sure
512  that this should be valid, but the warning given wasn't appropriate).
513
[a9ab65a]514* Fixed scaling problem when reading PLT file (feet->metres conversion
515  factor was being applied backwards!)
516
[47e4a2e]517* Fixed potential problem when reading or writing a 3d file which couldn't
518  be opened.
519
[5215b99]520* Translate dots to spaces in survey names in Compass PLT files.
521
[ef59f5e]522* Better handling of PLT files which have a D command before any M command.
523
[c01c332]524* Updates to German and Italian translations.
[3bf737e]525
[f4276af]526Changes in 1.0.9:
527
[e3dfce4]528* aven: Fixed jerky start when auto-rotation begins.
529
530* cavern: Fixed Direction reading - bug previously made it unusable.
[f4276af]531
[6317ee2]532* (MS Windows version): cad3d: fixed broken PLT output (had a double CR at the
533  end of each line).
534
[161e268]535* (Unix version): RPMs now have the docs in /usr/share/doc and the man pages
536  in /usr/share/man to conform with the FHS (and where RedHat packages put
537  them).
538
[06e94a8]539* Updates to French, Spanish, Catalan, and Slovak translations.
[b10788f]540
[732b9b0]541Changes in 1.0.8:
542
[b6de07d]543* Slovak translation added; updated German, Catalan, and Spanish translations.
544
[fa42426]545* aven: reduced memory usage by around 25% and increased speed and
546  responsiveness.
[cd6ea75]547
[a8e9fde]548* aven: rate of rotation and switching between plan and elevation now adjusted
549  to the speed of redraw, so aven behaves in a similar way independent of the
550  speed of the computer or size of the survey.
551
[75993b9]552* aven: provide list of most recently loaded files (preserved between runs of
553  the program).
[6804731]554
555* aven: settings for "Metric" and "Degrees" are preserved between runs.
[732b9b0]556
[8ac4406]557* aven: moved some menu items from "View" to "Controls" as they probably
558  belong there and the "View" menu was getting out of hand.
559
[c8c116c]560* aven: cursor keys now translate cave in the same way the mouse does (i.e. now
561  work as in caverot and xcaverot).
562
[6df24ee]563* aven: eliminated the "twinkling label" effect when dragging the cave with the
564  right mouse button.
565
[fa42426]566* aven: the measuring line moves much more smoothly now: the mouse cursor now
567  snaps to the nearest station, rather than just a near station; and when the
568  line moves, we now only redraw the affected area of the window.
[2173dbd]569
[b6de07d]570* aven: resolved annoying limit on zooming in on large surveys.  This was a
571  crude way of preventing random lines due to overflow in the windowing system.
572  Aven now clips lines itself at high zoom levels, and limits zoom in to
573  approximately 1mm/pixel.
574
575* aven: zoom in/out with keyboard wasn't subject to any limits - now restricted
576  to sane values as with zoom in/out with the mouse.
577
[5fa68cc5]578* print*: added --raw switch to turn of info box, scale bar, and page footer.
579  This can be useful if you want to import the output into another application.
580 
[5b7c1b7]581* print*: improved output when --no-border is used.
[3fb572e]582
[2001db9]583* printpcl/printdm: Added new .ini setting "font_bitmap" which allows the user
584  to choose between alternative fonts.  Current we supply "default" and "bold".
585
[fa42426]586* printps/printhpgl: Fixed --skip-blanks which would incorrectly skip non-blank
587  pages on rare occasions.
588
[11e919a]589* cavern: added support for BackCompass and BackClino.
[5b7c1b7]590
[fa42426]591* cavern: implemented "*units clino percent".
[c9eb197]592
[0580c6a]593* cavern: added "*infer exports on".  Any stations seen while this is on will
[c00c74a9]594  have the necessary *export-s inferred when accessed from outside their
595  own survey.  This allows linking a survey which uses *export to one which
596  doesn't.  It's also useful for a maze cave where so many stations can
597  be linked to that listing them explicitly isn't desirable.
598
[fa42426]599* cavern: N-S, E-W, and vertical ranges now only count stations which are in
600  underground surveys.
601
[0b71cfc]602* cavern: *infer plumbs wasn't inferring -90 to be DOWN - fixed.
603
[c00c74a9]604* cavern: *infer was giving an internal error if the argument was unknown -
605  now it gives the correct error message.
606
[fa42426]607* cavern: fixed handling of omitted clino readings when OMIT is *set to be
608  different from MINUS and PLUS (new test omitclino).
609
[b14f44f]610* cavern: fixed a bogus warning for any station which was only used in a line
611  of data which was rejected because of an error.
612
[fa42426]613* cavern: added error if the *units factor is zero (e.g. "*units tape 0 feet").
614
[b14f44f]615* cavern: removed the ill-thought-out and never implemented LENGTHOUTPUT
616  and ANGLEOUTPUT quantities.
617
[770157e]618* cavern: resolved mismatch between bcra5.svx and the default SDs, and the
619  odd values in bcra3.svx.  We are now interpreting the BCRA limits as 2
620  standard deviations (previously bcra5.svx used 3 sds, bcra3 used 3.33 sds for
621  tape and position, and .75 sds for compass and clino, and cavern used 1 sd
622  by default).
623
[a20b208]624* ChangeLog now only includes entries since the previous release (the full file
[9cc3854]625  is 220K or so, and of interest to very few people).  MSDOS and MS Windows
[b14f44f]626  versions now comfortably fit on a 1.44M floppy once again.
[9cc3854]627
[b6de07d]628* Test suite now checks that all programs will run successfully with "--help"
629  and with "--version".  This should avoid problems such as that which broke
630  the printer drivers in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
[a20b208]631
[fa42426]632* (Unix version): uninstalled binaries now use the path they are run with to
633  find support files, which means SURVEXHOME is no longer required, and has
634  been removed.
635
[7c41b21]636Changes in 1.0.7:
637
638* print*: halted with a failed assertion in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
639
[cd8d79a]640Changes in 1.0.6:
641
642* aven: "Reverse Controls" now works as in xcaverot and caverot.
643
644* aven: free rotation mode (engage by pressing control while left dragging,
645  exit with Delete) improved.
646
[30987bd]647* aven: using File->Open when a file was already loaded caused a crash
648  if a station was "grey highlighted" in the survey tree - fixed.
649
[e98af57]650* aven: added hourglass for "find" operation.
651
[0edb0d0]652* aven: reenabled loading of files by drag-and-drop (accidentally disabled
653  in 1.0.4 and 1.0.5).
654
[303a525]655* aven: improved handling of flat surveys (e.g. output of extend, surveys
656  with no clino information).
657
[12d0d1b]658* aven: surveys with stations but no legs no longer cause the labels and
659  crosses buttons to behave oddly.
660
[2c30188]661* aven: removed quite a bit of unused and superfluous code.
662
[3d5fb53]663* Spell-checked documentation.
664
[c637fad]665Changes in 1.0.5:
666
667* Fixed bug in img_open_survey() which could cause a crash if you tried to
[88c780d]668  open an unrecognised file (i.e. not .3d, .pos, .plt, or .xyz format).
669
670* North and East were the wrong way round when reading in .plt files.
[c637fad]671
[5173649]672* cad3d: Improved .plt file output a little - there's probably enough file
673  structure for Compass to read them now.
674
[f9dc4a0]675* Documentation updates.
676
[ea1c342]677Changes in 1.0.4:
678
[64511c0]679* extend: previously only kept one name for an equated group of stations in the
680  extended .3d file; now keeps all the names.
681
[b387524]682* cad3d: if an output filename is given, use its extension to pick the default
683  output format.
684
[ba2c5b1]685* aven: movement with keyboard is now accelerated by Shift as in caverot.
686
[f3ed07f]687* print*: --no-borders fixed to work as documented; --no-cutlines added to
688  turn off the dashed lines where pages join on multi-page printouts.
[80f17e0]689
[189f179]690* aven: tracked down two uninitialised variables which seems to fix the
691  failure to load a survey on startup which some people have been experiencing
692  on Microsoft Windows.
693
694* aven: code cleaned up - should improve performance a little.
[9f3e5df]695
696* img routines: img_rewind() now returns a value indicating success/failure.
697
[f1c7c9c7]698* Improvements to .plt file reading, notably that distances in the file are
699  now interpreted as being in feet rather than metres.  Also .plt files should
700  now be recognised even with a different extension, and we cope with an odd
701  special case better.
702
703* Added support for reading CMAP XYZ files.  There are two variants of these
704  - the "shot" format is fully implemented, the "station" format currently
705  just reads the station names and positions - the legs are ignored (sadly
706  the sample files I have do not match the format specification).
[4ebc557]707
[80f17e0]708* (MacOS X version): aven: aven now builds on MacOS X - we just need to sort
[64511c0]709  out packaging now...
[ea1c342]710
[be48ac6]711* (MSDOS version): upgraded graphics library used to Allegro 4.0.1.
712
[fe16ba3]713* Documentation updates.
[a7e3295]714
[febe041]715Changes in 1.0.3:
716
[7a89dc2]717* aven: you can now select distances to be displayed in feet (or miles when
718  you zoom right out) instead of metres, and angles to be in grads instead
719  of degrees.
720
721* aven: show altitude of mouse pointer when in elevation view.
722
[febe041]723* cad3d: fixed bug which caused --plt to crash on some platforms.
724
[3857e321]725* print*: added "Printing to `XXX'..." message to say where output is being
726  written.
727
[a8fa00a]728* Updated French translation; minor updates to other translations (mostly
729  sorting out clashing menu shortcuts in aven).
[e3a14ae]730
[43db339]731* (Unix version): assorted portability tweaks.
732
[745433f]733Changes in 1.0.2:
734
[4783405]735* printdm/printpcl/printwin: take notice of font_size_labels setting in
736  print.ini etc.
737
[107b8bd]738* cavern: Topofil can now be used with DIVING and CYLPOLAR styles; TOPOFIL
739  style is now synonymous with NORMAL.
740
741* cavern: *INFER EQUATES and *DATA TOPOFIL now work together correctly.
742
[c2211a5]743* cavern: *FIX with 3 standard deviations but no covariances now works.
744
[f73bb48]745* (MacOS X version): command line programs now build.  We're working on Aven.
[745433f]746
[7fc1465]747* Updates to the Catalan and Spanish translations.
748
[4783405]749* xcaverot: documented environmental variables XCAVEROT_INDICATOR_RADIUS and
750  XCAVEROT_FONTNAME.
751
[e1b99fc]752* cad3d: added --plt option to produce crude approximation to Compass .plt
753  files - should be good enough for reading into Carto.
754
[ad4eaf3f]755* img library enhanced to allow Compass .plt files to be read as if they were
756  .3d files.
757
[3217572]758Changes in 1.0.1:
759
[7fc1465]760* (MS Windows version): printwin: fixed sizes of cross and page alignment
[de5f18d]761  ticks.
[7be0ba8]762
[5d38036]763* Updates to the Portuguese and Italian translations.
764
[c51c50a]765Changes in 1.0.0:
[4b4bd47]766
[4d3dfdf]767* Fixed --survey option supported by many programs which was broken in 0.99.
768
[c51c50a]769* aven: altered colours of "fixed points" and "entrances" buttons to match
770  the coloured blobs used to indicate them.
771
[de5f18d]772* (MS Windows version): aven: changed current point highlighting in the
[35001ee]773  survey tree to use a light grey background rather than bold (bold causes
774  the text to "wriggle" as the highlight runs up or down).
775
[1cc6cc5]776* (MS Windows version): file icons now have transparent backgrounds.
777
[c51c50a]778* survex: removed conversion wrapper - you should use "cavern file.svx"
779  instead of "survex file.svx".
780
[fe282c2]781* (Unix version): GCC 2.95 sometimes fails with an internal error when trying
782  to compile gfxcore.cc - if it does, the Makefile will now try recompiling
783  with a lower optimisation level.
784
[8f2c870]785* (Unix version): when doing an "in directory" build from source, the HTML
786  manual is now installed in its own subdirectory as when doing a non
787  "in directory" build.
788
[c51c50a]789* German translation now completely up-to-date.
