3Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
4
5* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
6  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
7  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
8  Clipstone.
9
10* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
11  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
12
13* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
14  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
15  on startup.
16
17* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
18
19* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
20  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
21  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
22  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
23  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
24  other extensions.
25
26* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
27
28* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
29
30* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
31  'SURVEY DATE:'.
32
33* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
34  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
35  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
36  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
37  timezone wrong.
38
39* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
40
41* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
42  exported SVG files.
43
44* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
45
46* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
47  file.
48
49* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
50  GPX files.
51
52* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
53
54Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
55
56* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
57
58* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
59
60* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
61
62* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
63  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
64  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
65
66* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
67  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
68  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
69
70* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
71  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
72
73* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
74
75* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
76
77* Fix some compiler warnings.
78
79Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
80
81* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
82  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
83  Holder.
84
85* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
86  statistics when the value gets large.
87
88* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
89  equations.
90
91* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
92  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
93  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
94  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
95  better when the "View" box is hidden.
96
97* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
98  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
99
100* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
101  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
102  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
103  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
104  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
105  way is coming soon.
106
107* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
108  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
109
110* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
111  time ago, so update references.
112
113* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
114  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
115
116* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
117  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
118
119* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
120  Sebastian Ramacher.
121
122* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
123
124* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
125
126* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
127
128* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
129
130* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
131
132* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
133  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
134  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
135
136* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
137
138* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
139
140* img library:
141
142  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
143    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
144    reading).
145
146  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
147    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
148
149  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
150    support these as an extension.
151
152  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
153
154* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
155  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
156  itself has any translations for.
157
158* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
159
160* Minor translation updates.
161
162* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
163
164Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
165
166* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
167  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
168  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
169  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
170  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
171  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
172  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
173  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
174
175* New version 8 of the 3d format:
176
177  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
178
179  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
180    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
181
182  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
183    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
184
185  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
186
187  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
188    human-readable string.
189
190  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
191    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
192
193* img library:
194
195  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
196
197  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
198    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
199
200  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
201    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
202    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
203    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
204    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
205    explicitly in the file.
206
207  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
208
209* aven:
210
211  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
212    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
213    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
214    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
215    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
216    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
217
218  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
219    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
220    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
221    queued up.
222
223  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
224    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
225
226  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
227    them like other legs.
228
229  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
230    station names to positions.
231
232  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
233    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
234    wrongly.
235
236  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
237
238  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
239    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
240    that's used by the desktop).
241
242  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
243
244  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
245    error from cavern.
246
247  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
248
249  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
250    in the dialog in sync.
251
252* cavern:
253
254  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
255    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
256    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
257
258  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
259    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
260
261  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
262    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
263    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
264    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
265    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
266    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
267    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
268    degrees.
269
270  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
271    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
272    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
273
274  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
275
276  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
277    warnings.
278
279  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
280    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
281
282  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
283    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
284
285  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
286    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
287    relevant.
288
289  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
290    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
291    the same line.
292
293  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
294    "End of line not blank" error.
295
296  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
297    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
298
299  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
300    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
301
302  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
303    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
304    include that character in the token reported.
305
306  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
307    first item.
308
309* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
310
311* dump3d:
312
313  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
314    info from 3d files in scripts.
315
316  + Add --show-dates option.
317
318  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
319
320  + Report the data style of legs.
321
322  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
323
324  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
325
326* Test suite:
327
328  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
329    expected output so it passes reliably.
330
331  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
332    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
333
334  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
335    for more.
336
337* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
338  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
339  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
340
341* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
342  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
343
344* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
345  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
346
347* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
348  with SURVEX_LANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
349  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
350  settings.
351
352* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
353  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
354  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
355  set correctly.
356
357* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
358  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
359  them to translate.
360
361* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
362  close to complete.
363
364* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
365
366* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
367
368* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
369
370Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
371
372* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
373
374* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
375  package (ticket#35).
376
377* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
378  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
379  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
380
381* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
382  Kahler.
383
384* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
385  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
386  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
387  libproj and build survex with:
388
389      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
390      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
391
392* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
393
394* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
395
396* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
397  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
398  file".
399
400Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
401
402* aven:
403
404  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
405
406  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
407    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
408
409  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
410
411  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
412
413  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
414    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
415
416* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
417  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
418  error early on).
419
420* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
421  the man page source as well as in the filename.
422
423Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
424
425* aven:
426
427  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
428    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
429    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
430    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
431
432  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
433    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
434
435  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
436
437  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
438
439  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
440
441* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
442
443Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
444
445* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
446
447* (Mac OS X version):
448
449  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
450
451  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
452
453  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
454    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
455
456  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
457
458* aven:
459
460  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
461
462  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
463
464    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
465      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
466      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
467      character.
468
469    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
470      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
471      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
472      and two in a few cases.
473
474    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
475      8 pixels.
476
477  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
478    draw crosses.
479
480  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
481    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
482    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
483    is the start or end of a tube.
484
485  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
486    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
487
488  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
489    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
490    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
491
492* extend:
493
494  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
495
496  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
497    which means "no info").
498
499* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
500  was no longer used - it certainly is!
501
502* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
503  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
504  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
505  current character set.
506
507* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
508
509* Test suite:
510
511  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
512
513  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
514
515Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
516
517* aven:
518
519  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
520    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
521    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
522    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
523    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
524    usable format.
525
526  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
527    files.  (ticket#26)
528
529  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
530    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
531
532  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
533    using lines.
534
535  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
536    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
537
538  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
539    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
540    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
541    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
542
543  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
544    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
545    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
546
547  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
548    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
549    in 1.2.1.
550
551Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
552
553* Translation updates for US English.
554
555* aven:
556
557  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
558    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
559
560  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
561
562  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
563    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
564    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
565    visually similar to the survey legs.
566
567  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
568    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
569
570  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
571    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
572    does still provide some useful information).
573
574  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
575    a depth band boundary.
576
577  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
578    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
579    full-screen mode).
580
581  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
582    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
583    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
584    are a little better, though still not perfect.
585
586  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
587    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
588
589  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
590    that station.
591
592  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
593    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
594
595  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
596    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
597    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
598    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
599    a case as it is a bug).
600
601  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
602    invalidated on window width or height changes.
603
604  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
605    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
606    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
607    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
608
609  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
610    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
611    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
612    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
613    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
614    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
615    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
616
617  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
618    similarly for other compass points.
619
620  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
621    info in the "About" dialog.
622
623  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
624    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
625
626  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
627    as well as still working with older versions.
628
629  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
630    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
631
632  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
633    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
634    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
635    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
636    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
637
638  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
639    nicer and make better use of the available space.
640
641  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
642    dialog.
643
644  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
645    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
646
647  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
648    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
649
650  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
651
652  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
653
654  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
655    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
656    being pressed and toggle full screen.
657
658* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
659  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
660
661* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
662
663* More messages are now available to be translated.
664
665* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
666  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
667
668* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
669
670* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
671  sudo for installing on Unix.
672
673* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
674  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
675
676* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
677  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
678
679* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
680
681Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
682
683* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
684  English.
685
686* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
687  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
688  case.
689
690* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
691  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
692  these into Survex's .msg format.
693
694* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
695  an actual command).
696
697* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
698  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
699  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
700  recurrence of that).
701
702* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
703  than /usr/doc/survex.
704
705* aven:
706
707  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
708
709  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
710    nicer at larger sizes.
711
712  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
713    with GLX >= 1.3.
714
715  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
716
717  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
718    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
719    required libraries set up for building releases.
720
721  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
722
723  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
724
725  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
726    rendered with icons on some platforms.
727
728  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
729    ISO8859-1).
730
731  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
732    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
733
734  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
735    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
736
737* cavern:
738
739  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
740    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
741    fatal error!
742
743  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
744    format to output.  (ticket#21)
745
746* img library:
747
748  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
749    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
750
751* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
752  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
753
754Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
755
756* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
757  Portuguese, and US English.
758
759* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
760  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
761
762* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
763  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
764
765* img.c:
766
767  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
768
769  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
770
771* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
772
773* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
774  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
775  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
776  translated.
777
778Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
779
780* aven:
781
782  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
783    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
784
785  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
786    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
787    addresses ticket#12.
788
789  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
790    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
791    consistent shape.
792
793  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
794    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
795    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
796    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
797
798  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
799    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
800
801  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
802
803  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
804    more places.
805
806  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
807    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
808
809* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
810
811* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
812  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
813
814* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
815
816* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
817  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
818  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
819  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
820  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
821  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
822
823* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
824  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
825  redirecting to it.
826
827* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
828  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
829  I/O).
830
831* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
832  headers.
833
834* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
835
836* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
837  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
838
839* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
840
841Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
842
843* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
844
845* aven:
846
847  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
848    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
849    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
850    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
851
852  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
853
854  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
855    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
856    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
857    a number.
858
859  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
860    log window.
861
862  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
863    various cases.
864
865  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
866    (ticket#9)
867
868  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
869    namespace with its own "Point" class.
870
871  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
872    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
873
874  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
875
876  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
877    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
878
879* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
880  give them before.
881
882* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
883  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
884  point looking for them now.
885
886* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
887  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
888  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
889  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
890
891* manual:
892
893  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
894
895  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
896    (change taken from 1.0).
897
898* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
899
900Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
901
902* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
903
904* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
905
906* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
907
908* aven:
909
910  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
911
912  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
913    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
914    seem to be Unicode now).
915
916  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
917    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
918
919  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
920    text on the survey pane:
921
922    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
923
924    - Character spacing is improved.
925
926    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
927
928  + "About" dialog:
929
930    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
931      bug reporting.
932
933    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
934      modern gfx card.
935
936    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
937
938  + Processing .svx files:
939
940    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
941
942    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
943      than opening a separate frame for it.
944
945    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
946
947    - Fix small memory leak.
948
949  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
950    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
951    such a name.
952
953  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
954
955  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
956    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
957    invocations.
958
959  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
960
961  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
962
963  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
964
965* Documentation:
966
967  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
968
969  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
970    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
971    together isn't very useful.
972
973  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
974
975  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
976    the FSF website.
977
978  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
979    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
980    the source code.
981
982* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
983  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
984
985* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
986  package from the source tarball.
987
988* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
989  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
990
991Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
992
993* aven:
994
995  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
996
997  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
998
999  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
1000    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
1001    names/crosses).
1002
1003Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
1004
1005* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
1006
1007* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
1008
1009* aven:
1010
1011  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
1012
1013  + Fix character spacing.
1014
1015  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
1016    proportional fonts.
1017
1018  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
1019    rather than the filename.
1020
1021  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
1022
1023  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
1024    depth colouring.
1025
1026  + Add "Colour by Error".
1027
1028  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
1029
1030  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
1031
1032  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
1033
1034  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
1035
1036  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
1037
1038  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
1039
1040  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
1041
1042  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
1043    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
1044
1045  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
1046
1047  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
1048    default.
1049
1050* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
1051  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
1052
1053* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
1054  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
1055
1056* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
1057
1058* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
1059
1060Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
1061
1062* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
1063  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
1064  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
1065  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
1066  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
1067
1068* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
1069  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
1070  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
1071
1072* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
1073  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
1074  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
1075
1076* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
1077  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
1078  allowed).
1079
1080* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
1081
1082* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1083
1084* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1085
1086Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
1087
1088* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
1089  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
1090
1091* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
1092  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
1093  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
1094
1095* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
1096  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
1097  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
1098  the new "*data passage" style.
1099
1100* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
1101  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
1102
1103* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
1104  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
1105  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
1106  some cases.
1107
1108* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
1109  with no survey loaded.
1110
1111* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
1112
1113* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
1114  loaded a survey.
1115
1116* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
1117
1118* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
1119
1120* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
1121  doesn't exist.
1122
1123* Updated French and Italian translations.
1124
1125* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
1126  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
1127
1128* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
1129  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
1130  update their copy).
1131
1132* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
1133  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
1134  trying to compile).
1135
1136Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
1137
1138* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
1139  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
1140
1141* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
1142  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
1143  has been disabled.
1144
1145* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
1146  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
1147  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
1148  time.
1149
1150* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
1151  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
1152  highlighted stations.
1153
1154* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
1155
1156* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
1157  the tilt from plan to elevation.
1158
1159* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
1160  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
1161
1162* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
1163  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
1164  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
1165
1166* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
1167  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
1168
1169* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
1170
1171* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
1172
1173* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
1174
1175* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
1176  run by an unprivileged user.
1177
1178* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
1179  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
1180  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
1181
1182* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
1183  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
1184
1185* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
1186
1187* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
1188  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
1189
1190* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
1191  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
1192
1193* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
1194  if it isn't.
1195
1196* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
1197  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
1198
1199* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
1200  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
1201
1202* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
1203  reset to default view as well).
1204
1205* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
1206  empty.
1207
1208* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
1209  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
1210
1211* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
1212  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
1213  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
1214
1215* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
1216  and non-zero width lines.
1217
1218* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
1219  was turned on.
1220
1221* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
1222  not always being fully written.
1223
1224Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
1225
1226* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
1227  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
1228  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
1229  date near the middle of that period).
1230
1231* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
1232  with MS Windows).
1233
1234* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
1235  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
1236  several surveys in the same directory).
1237
1238* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
1239  our check for them to include that knowledge.
1240
1241* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
1242
1243* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
1244  moved off a station.
1245
1246* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
1247  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
1248
1249* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
1250
1251* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
1252  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
1253
1254* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
1255  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
1256  dialogs.
1257
1258* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
1259  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
1260
1261* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
1262  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
1263  introduced in 1.1.6).
1264
1265* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
1266  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
1267  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
1268
1269* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
1270  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
1271
1272* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
1273
1274* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
1275
1276Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
1277
1278* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
1279  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
1280
1281* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
1282  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
1283  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
1284  3d file.
1285
1286* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
1287
1288* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
1289
1290* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
1291  Instead turn off depth colouring.
1292
1293* aven: Export as HPGL added.
1294
1295* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
1296  Martin Green).
1297
1298* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
1299  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
1300  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
1301
1302* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
1303
1304* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
1305  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
1306
1307* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
1308  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
1309  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
1310  of everything else.
1311
1312* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
1313  presentation icons.
1314
1315* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
1316  keyboard focus there.
1317
1318* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
1319
1320* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
1321
1322* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
1323
1324* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
1325
1326* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
1327  language to use for messages.
1328
1329* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
1330  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
1331
1332* Removed old printer drivers.
1333
1334* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
1335  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
1336
1337Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
1338
1339* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
1340
1341* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
1342
1343* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
1344  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
1345
1346* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
1347  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
1348
1349* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
1350
1351* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
1352  underground legs is toggled.
1353
1354* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
1355  attached to the previous data.
1356
1357* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
1358  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
1359  them.
1360
1361Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
1362
1363* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
1364
1365* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
1366  continental European countries).
1367
1368* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
1369  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
1370  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
1371
1372* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
1373
1374* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
1375  they're needed.
1376
1377* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
1378
1379* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
1380
1381* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
1382
1383* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
1384  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
1385  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
1386
1387* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
1388
1389Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
1390
1391* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
1392
1393* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
1394
1395* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
1396
1397* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
1398
1399* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
1400
1401* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
1402
1403* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
1404  when there's a presentation loaded.
1405
1406* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
1407  in cave view.
1408
1409* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
1410
1411* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
1412  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
1413  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
1414
1415* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
1416  filename for file history and window title.
1417
1418* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
1419  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
1420  only needed with GTK1.2.
1421
1422* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
1423
1424* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
1425
1426* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
1427
1428* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
1429
1430Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
1431
1432* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
1433  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
1434  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
1435
1436* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
1437  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
1438
1439* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
1440  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
1441  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
1442  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
1443
1444* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
1445
1446* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
1447  with --help and --version.
1448
1449* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
1450  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
1451  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
1452  Fixed all these problems.
1453
1454* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
1455  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
1456  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
1457
1458* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
1459  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
1460  sources.
1461
1462* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
1463
1464* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
1465
1466* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
1467  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
1468
1469* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
1470  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
1471  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
1472  animating.
1473
1474* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
1475
1476* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
1477
1478* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
1479  to this branch.
1480
1481* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
1482
1483  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
1484
1485  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
1486
1487  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
1488
1489* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
1490
1491* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
1492  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
1493
1494* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
1495
1496* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
1497  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
1498
1499* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
1500
1501* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
1502  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
1503  for anyone building from CVS).
1504
1505* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
1506
1507* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
1508
1509* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
1510
1511* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
1512
1513* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
1514  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
1515  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
1516
1517* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
1518  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
1519
1520* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
1521
1522* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
1523  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
1524  loaded).
1525
1526* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
1527
1528Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
1529
1530* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
1531  startup.
1532
1533* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
1534  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
1535
1536Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
1537
1538* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
1539  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
1540  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
1541
1542* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
1543  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
1544  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
1545
1546* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
1547  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
1548  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
1549
1550* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
1551
1552* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
1553  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
1554
1555* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
1556  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
1557
1558* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
1559  better use of screen space.
1560
1561* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
1562
1563* aven: Perspective view.
1564
1565* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
1566
1567* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
1568  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
1569
1570* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
1571  and load/save/run them.
1572
1573* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
1574
1575* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
1576
1577* aven: Depth fogging option.
1578
1579* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
1580
1581* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
1582
1583* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
1584  showing the surface legs.
1585
1586* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
