C99 is now a requirement

37d6b84fb1ac772bf44344230af23bba127d321b added a use of VA_ARGS
which is a C99 feature, so we might as well formalise this and stop
worrying about comments in C code.

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