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