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