1Changes in 1.4.14 (2024-12-11):
2
3* aven/survexport: Add support for exporting shapefiles.  This requires GDAL so
4  currently isn't enabled in the Microsoft Windows build.  Thanks to Eric C.
5  Landgraf for testing.  Fixes #87.
6
7* cavern: If *date with just year is followed by a blank, cavern expects a date
8  range and gives an error if another date doesn't follow.  Bug was introduced
9  in 1.4.13.
10
11* aven/cavern: Use ′ and ″ for feet and inches.
12
13* Documentation: Add some details on how to handle Toporobot "serie" station
14  naming.
15
16* Updates to Bulgarian, Hugarian, Russian and Slovak translations.
17
18* Testsuite: Adjust lollipop testcase to pass on i386 where excess precision
19  was changing which station was reported as the southernmost of multiple
20  candidate stations).
21
22Changes in 1.4.13 (2024-12-01):
23
24* aven:
25
26  + Don't show crosses on anonymous stations since they just clutter up the
27    display (especially for anonymous splays).  Suggested by Andrew Atkinson.
28
29  + Fix 1.4.10 regression in plotting of station names.  Each anonymous station
30    was blocking out a small rectangle which no actual station name could
31    overlap.  Reported by Špela Borko.
32
33  + Reduced start-up time by only initialising GDAL if we have overlays to
34    show.
35
36  + (Microsoft Windows version): Avoid recurring "GDAL support not enabled in
37    this build" message box.  This message is now only shown once if you try to
38    add an overlay.  Reported by Špela Borko.
39
40* cavern:
41
42  + Update to use v14 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
43    This was issued in November 2024 and should give slightly more accurate
44    declinations for surveys made since 2015.  Fixes #137.
45
46  + The component count was wrong in some cases, and we calculate the number
47    of loops using this component count, so the loop count would also be wrong
48    by the same amount in these cases.
49
50  + The component count and loop count are now reported when there are
51    unconnected survey stations.
52
53  + *date now support ISO format dates.  Fixes #96, reported by Milosch.
54
55  + *date now support date types "surveyed" and "explored" (existing usage
56    without an explicit type is interpreted as "surveyed").
57
58  + If the output directory isn't writable or doesn't exist we would complain
59    that we can't create the .err file - now we try to create the .3d file
60    first so complain about that instead which seems more helpful.  Reported by
61    Eric C. Landgraf.
62
63  + When inventing a fixed point we now avoid picking a fixed point which is
64    only attached to nosurvey legs if there's another option.  The code was
65    already meant to do this but it was buggy and we lacked a testcase for this
66    situation.
67
68  + Survey network reduction now finds some delta-star opportunities which were
69    being overlooked.  This allows more complicated networks to be reduced
70    further so fewer and/or smaller matrices need solving, which is faster.
71
72  + Survey network reduction now handles a "lollipop" with a fixed stick end
73    specially which is a little bit faster.  A more visible consequence is
74    fewer "Solving one equation..." messages when solving a complex survey
75    network.
76
77  + Survey network reduction now makes use of articulating legs to split up the
78    problem a little more, so we will often now solve more but smaller matrices
79    which should be faster.
80
81  + Assigning matrix row numbers now identifies equated stations in a slightly
82    more efficient way.
83
84* dump3d: Provide a way to get ISO format dates output.
85
86* Documentation:
87
88  + Improve documentation of *date in the manual.  When a partial date is
89    specified (just a year, or a year and month only) the documentation claimed
90    the centre of that year or month is used but actually this case is treated
91    as a date range covering the whole year or month (respectively).  The end
92    result is effectively the same as what was previously documented though
93    since the centre of a date range is used as the date for calculating
94    automatic declinations and is the date used by aven.
95
96* Test suite:
97
98  + Adjust hpglexport testcase to avoid i386 excess precision causing one of
99    the HPGL coordinates to differ by one from its value calculated without
100    excess precision.
101
102* Assorted translation updates.
103
104Changes in 1.4.12 (2024-10-23):
105
106* aven:
107
108  + (Microsoft Windows version): Geodata overlays are (hopefully temporarily)
109    no longer available in the pre-built version of Survex installed by the
110    Microsoft Windows installer.  We use the GDAL library to load them and
111    there's a hard to debug problem during DLL initialisation somewhere in its
112    dependency tree.  If you really need geodata overlays, the 1.4.9 installer
113    still works.  Thanks to Wookey for extensive testing to investigate the
114    problem, and to everyone else who reported this.
115
116* cavern:
117
118  + A leg with the same station as from and to is now only a warning in
119    Compass data.  Compass itself seems to quietly ignore such legs, but
120    they seem worth warning about.  In native Survex data this is still
121    an error.
122
123  + Short survey and station names are now stored without an extra memory
124    allocation.  On a 64-bit platform (most modern computers) we can store
125    name components up to 7 characters in this way; on a 32-bit platform
126    up to 3 characters.  On a large dataset which needs large matrices
127    solving this reduces cavern's memory usage by 3.5MB (~4.5%).  It's
128    also fractionally faster (but only ~0.05% which is not normally even
129    measurable).
130
131  + Assigning matrix row numbers to stations is now faster and allocates
132    less memory.
133
134* (Microsoft Windows version): The Microsoft Windows installer is now
135  named `survex-microsoft-windows-1.4.12.exe`.  The old name was
136  `survex-win32-1.4.11.exe` but the "win32" is now misleading as it's been a
137  64-bit build since 1.4.9.  Reported by Wookey.
138
139* Testsuite:
140
141  + dump3d.tst: Add tests of img library's survey filtering.
142
143  + cavern.tst: Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in JSON test output before
144    comparing with expected output.  We can get -0.00 on x86 due to excess
145    precision.
146
147* img library:
148
149  + Survey filtering now works correctly for files which use a survey level
150    separator other than `.`.  Patch https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/14
151    from Thomas Holder.
152
153  + Reading a v7 or earlier .3d format extended elevation with survey filtering
154    was failing to set is_extended_elevation.
155
156Changes in 1.4.11 (2024-08-14):
157
158* aven:
159
160  + Add imperial scales for export and printing.  Fixes #132, reported by Eric
161    C. Landgraf.
162
163* aven/survexport:
164
165  + HPGL export now uses pen 2 for splays and pen 3 for surface legs.  Partly
166    addresses #60.
167
168  + HPGL export now supports scaling (previous the scale was always
169    1:40000).
170
171  + KML export now distinguishes surface legs and splays using different
172    line styles.  Partly addresses #60.
173
174  + Remove Skencil export support.  The last release of Skencil was in 2005.
175    There was an attempt to revive the project in 2010, but that didn't lead to
176    another release and seems to have petered out.  No current Linux distro (or
177    other package system) seems to have Skencil packages, and the current git
178    version still appears to require Python 2 which is being phased out.
179
180* cavern:
181
182  + Support `*data ignore` to allow ignoring a block of survey data lines.
183    Closes #114, reported by Alastair Gott.
184
185  + Report error for bad final reading in `*data` command (previously such a
186    bad reading was quietly ignored).
187
188  + If the survey in `*end` doesn't match that in `*begin` the location of
189    that `*begin` is now reported as well - the second message here is new
190    for example:
191
192     badbegin.svx:6:8: error: Survey name doesn't match BEGIN
193      *end   bar
194             ^~~
195     badbegin.svx:4:13: info: Corresponding BEGIN was here
196      *begin      foo
197                  ^~~
198
199  + Now shows a context line for a reading which was on the previous line,
200    which can happen for interleaved data styles.
201
202  + Warn when a token is not followed by a blank, comment or end of line.
203    This is an unintentional tokenisation oddity which has been present
204    for a really long time.  We don't want to break files that rely on this
205    (even if they likely only do accidentally) so emit a warning rather than
206    an error.
207
208    This warning can easily be eliminated by adding a space where indicated,
209    which will work with old and new Survex versions.  Fixes #135.
210
211  + Errors and warnings which report an unexpected token now report a
212    contiguous span of letters and numbers rather than just letters in cases
213    where a number can't follow (which is the majority of cases).
214
215  + If `*require` isn't satisfied, the `*require` line is now shown for
216    context (especially helpful if there's a comment after the command noting
217    the reason for the requirement, as we now suggest in the manual).
218
219  + `*require` version parsing improved - spaces are no longer tolerated in
220    a version number and trailing junk after the version number is now
221    handled more consistently.
222
223  + Fixed several situations in which the highlighting of the context for a
224    diagnostic was off by a small number of columns.
225
226  + Optimise building of matrix during network solving.
227
228  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files:
229
230    - After reporting an error for an unsupported datum, we now set the datum
231      to WGS84 to prevent triggering further errors from code which tries to
232      use the datum.
233
234    - Parse Walls WPJ commands as alphanumeric rather than alphabetic tokens,
235      which better matches how Walls parses them.  This only makes a difference
236      in the error message when we don't recognise a WPJ command.
237
238* Documentation:
239
240  + Note `feet` are international feet and how to select a different
241    definition in `*units` docs.
242
243  + Document `grads` are also known as "neugrads" and "gons" in `*units` docs.
244
245* Assorted translation updates.
246
247* testsuite:
248
249  + Fix bug in normalisation of `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before
250    comparing with expected output.
251
252* Update and improve vim syntax highlighting:
253
254  + `*cartesian` added
255
256  + `*data ignore` added
257
258  + `mils` units now highlighted as deprecated
259
260  + `UP` and `DOWN` are no longer highlighted anywhere in a command
261
262  + `U`, `D`, `LEVEL`, `-V`, `+V`, `.`, `..` and `...` now highlighted in data
263    lines
264
265  + Repeated `NOT` in `*flags` is now highlighted as an error
266
267  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to not flag an error just
268    because there's a comment after the filename
269
270  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to work when there's
271    whitespace between `*` and `include`
272
273Changes in 1.4.10 (2024-08-05):
274
275* aven:
276
277  + Use a fixed rotation rate for rotating the view to North, South, East or
278    West (shortcut keys `N`, `S`, `E` and `W`).  We were using the same
279    variable rate which auto-rotation does for this case, but really these are
280    just animations to help the user see the change that's happening, so a
281    fixed rate makes more sense (and is what tilting to plan or elevation
282    does).  The new fixed rotation rate for this is double what the default
283    variable rate was, which means the longest rotation (e.g. from S to N)
284    takes 3 seconds rather than 6.
285
286* aven/survexport:
287
288  + Fix syntax of shot flags in PLT export (incorrect since introduced in
289    1.4.6).
290
291  + Map Survex duplicate flag to `L` shot flag in PLT export.
292
293  + Invent shorter names for anonymous stations in PLT export.  The PLT file
294    format documentation says station names can be up to 12 characters, but the
295    ones we generated were longer than this which is liable to trip up
296    consumers of this format that only allow for the specified length.
297    We now generate names using a sequential counter with a two character
298    prefix so they should fit in the 12 character limit for any cave
299    survey.
300
301  + 3D export now includes all leg and station flags.
302
303* cavern:
304
305  + Unconnected survey stations are now handled as a warning, whereas
306    previously this was an error.  This is necessary when processing Walls data
307    where it seems having hanging surveys is the norm, and Walls itself only
308    warns about them.
309
310    The support is also enabled for native Survex data since it allows viewing
311    the connected parts of a survey with missing connections without having to
312    comment out the unconnected parts (and then remember to fully uncomment
313    once connections are surveyed).  Fixes #16, reported by Duncan Collis.
314
315    Currently the component count and loop count are not shown in this case.
316
317  + Avoid multiple reports of an unconnected survey station.  This could happen
318    in some cases where a group of equated stations had more than four legs
319    connected to it.
320
321  + Fix missing report of unconnected survey station.  We aim to report at
322    least one station in every unconnected piece of survey, but if a piece had
323    been simplified to a single station which was anonymous (e.g. a disto splay
324    shot) then we wouldn't report anything for that piece.  Now we find the
325    traverse that was attached to it and report the next station along that
326    traverse.
327
328  + Report file and line location each unconnected survey station.
329
330  + This warning now says either `*entrance` or `*export` depending on which
331    it actually was:
332
333      Station "bar.1" referred to by *entrance or *export but never used
334
335  + Fix several cases of mishandling comments without blanks before them:
336
337    - After an anonymous station.
338
339    - After an ignored reading.  The `ignore` would incorrectly also skip the
340      comment character and any characters which followed up to the next blank
341      or end of line.
342
343    - In a `*alias` command.
344
345    - Diagnostic highlighting could continue into a comment.
346
347  + New `*cartesian` command which supports different orientations of
348    `cartesian` style data.
349
350  + Anonymous stations are now supported in `cartesian` style data.
351
352  + `*fix a reference` (without any coordinates) is now an error.  The
353    `reference` token provides a way to have a list of known fixed points which
354    are not expected to all be currently used, while omitting the coordinates
355    provides a way to specify a point to arbitrarily fix rather than rely on
356    cavern picking one.  Allowing both together doesn't really make sense.
357
358  + Improve check for 180° backclino to suppress the warning about a compass
359    reading on a plumbed leg (introduced in 1.4.8) to allow a small tolerance
360    on the value.  Previously the check wasn't working on x86 Linux for
361    example.
362
363  + When showing a line as the location of a diagnostic we now render any
364    tab character as a single space which means the `^~~~~` highlight length
365    is now correct even when the highlighted part contains tabs.  This only
366    affects use from a terminal as the highlight was already correctly handled
367    when viewing the log in aven.
368
369  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files (thanks to Eric
370    C. Landgraf and Joe for a lot of great feedback from testing with large
371    datasets):
372
373    - The `RECT=` option is now fully supported.
374
375    - Fix `#DATE` with an active `.REF` to act like `DECL=`.  This matches what
376      the documentation says and what Walls seems to actually do.
377
378    - Allow completely omitting the clino on a wall shot (with `ORDER=DAV` or
379      `ORDER=ADV`).
380
381    - Resolve WPJ `.PATH` relative to innermost containing book.
382
383    - Handle an empty Walls station name.  Walls allows a station with an
384      explicit prefix to have an empty name, e.g. `PEP:`.  The Walls
385      documentation doesn't mention this, though it also doesn't explicitly say
386      the name can't be empty.  This quirk seems unlikely to be intentionally
387      used and Survex doesn't allow an empty station name, so we issue a
388      warning and use the name `empty name` (which has a space in, so can't
389      collide with a real Walls station name which can't contain a space) - so
390      `PEP:` in Walls becomes `PEP.empty name` in Survex.
391
392    - Flag stations with explicit Walls prefix as exported.
393
394    - Fix setting empty Walls macro with a comment right after it.
395
396    - Walls quietly ignores junk after the numeric argument in `TYPEAB=`,
397      `TYPEVB=`, `UV=`, `UVH=`, and `UVV=`.  This seems to be an undocumented
398      feature/bug so Survex emits a warning and skips the junk.
399
400    - After an unknown Walls option we now process the rest of the line.
401      Previously we were skipping the rest of the line.
402
403    - We no longer skip the rest of the line after a bad Walls `ORDER=` option.
404
405    - Correct the reported column for some Walls option diagnostics.
406
407    - Support explicit units on Walls clino readings.
408
409    - Allow `#` in Walls station names.  This is explicitly documented as not
410      allowed, but the documentation doesn't match the implementation and `#`
411      is present in some real-world data.
412
413    - Improve handling of Walls `RESTORE` error.  Highlight the position in the
414      line and don't skip the rest of the line.
415
416    - Don't warn about `INCH=` with a zero argument since that's the one case
417      of it we do handle!
418
419    - Fix not to skip the rest of the line after Walls `INCH=` option.
420      We currently don't support `INCH=` so we warn about it, but we were
421      skipping the rest of the line, then trying to read and discard the
422      argument to `INCH=` which gave an error.
423
424    - Relax handling of Walls `CASE=`.  It's not documented, but Walls32.exe
425      quietly treats unknown values as "Mixed".
426
427    - Support DM and DMS format for latitude and longitude in Walls `#FIX`,
428      e.g. `W97:43.875` and `W97:43:52.5` .
429
430    - Treat a zero length leg with finite variance like a Survex `*equate`.
431
432    - Apply Walls variance overrides to survey legs.
433
434    - The optional instrument and target heights are now parsed, but their
435      values are currently ignored.
436
437    - The delimiters around LRUD data are now parsed, but the LRUD data between
438      them is currently ignored.
439
440    - If a `#SEGMENT` value looks like a set of Compass shot flags (i.e.
441      consists only of upper case characters from `CLPSX`, optionally prefixed
442      with a `/` or `\`) then we interpret them as Compass shot flags (except
443      that `X` is mapped the same way as `L`).  This is apparently a common way
444      to use `#SEGMENT`, and unlikely to be triggered accidentally.
445
446    - Avoid a doubled directory separator when building Walls path names.
447
448* documentation:
449
450  + The manual has been converted from DocBook to reStructured Text.  The
451    plain-text format is much easier for making changes, and for users the
452    output from sphinx looks nicer and has extra features (like built-in
453    "Quick search" in the HTML output).
454
455    The plain text version of the manual is no longer generated.  Sphinx can
456    produce one but the .rst sources actually seem more readable for anyone
457    wanting to read the manual in plain text.
458
459    The extra targets to generate the manual in RTF and PostScript
460    have been dropped as I doubt they are still used (we stopped
461    providing them on the website years ago).  They could probably be
462    reinstated if there's a demand for them.
463
464    The conversion was partly automated followed by a full pass over the
465    result fixing issues with the automated conversion.  We took the
466    opportunity to also review the content and update or remove out of
467    date and other incorrect information, and to reorder some of the content.
468
469  + Document all the statistics in the `.err` file
470
471  + Document PLT export.
472
473  + Minor improvements to --help output
474
475  + The HTML version of the 1.4.9 manual was missing the Walls chapter
476    and had messed up paging links around it (due to the new CMAP chapter
477    accidentally also being given the filename `walls.htm`).  Reported by Eric
478    C. Landgraf.
479
480  + Document we don't enforce Walls' station or prefix length limits.
481
482  + Document handling of Walls `#NOTE`.
483
484  + Fix documentation of Walls `FLAG=` which is correctly handled, not skipped.
485
486  + Document how to compare Walls and Survex output via Shapefile.
487
488  + Document how to suppress unused fixed point warning in Walls SRV.
489
490* testsuite:
491
492  + Add testcase for Walls `#units order=da`.
493
494  + Add expected output for more testcases
495
496  + Add testcase for exporting .3d files.
497
498  + Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before comparing to avoid bogus
499    test failures due to excess precision on x86 when using 387 FP
500    instructions.
501
502  + Add test of DXF export with full coordinates.
503
504* translations:
505
506  + Diagnostics can now use positional arguments which sometimes allows a
507    more natural word order in a translated message.
508
509Changes in 1.4.9 (2024-07-04):
510
511* aven:
512
513  + Support showing geodata overlays in Aven.  We use the GDAL library to load
514    the data, so this should work for any format which GDAL supports so long as
515    it can be read from the filing system and is geo-referenced vector data -
516    see https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html for a list.  Currently the
517    dialog to select a file defaults to showing GPX, KML, GeoJSON and shape
518    files - set the filter to "All Files" to chose other formats.
519
520  + Reimplement display of cavern output.  The old version turned the log into
521    HTML and displayed it using wxHtmlWindow, but that adds a lot of overhead
522    and is especially inefficient if there are many diagnostics - cavern could
523    finish almost instantly yet aven could take many seconds to process the
524    output.  The new version renders directly from the log data.  It should
525    have most of the features from before - the only missing feature I'm
526    currently aware of is that you can't now select and copy text from the log
527    window, which wxHtmlWindow provided for free.  If people miss this feature,
528    we could add it to the new implementation.
529
530  + (Microsoft Windows version): Clicks in the cavern log window which load
531    files into an editor now protect the filename if it starts with a dash
532    to prevent it being interpreted as a command line option.  We already
533    do this for other platforms, but weren't on Microsoft Windows on the
534    assumption that it isn't needed because the filenames will be fully
535    qualified, but that may not be the case if aven if run by hand from the
536    command line or from some other launcher.
537
538* cavern:
539
540  + Add support for processing Walls format survey data (.SRV and .WPJ files).
541    This support is somewhat experimental but at a point where it seems useful
542    to make it easier for people to try out.  See the manual for a list of
543    known shortcomings.  Thanks to Eric C. Landgraf for a lot of testing and
544    encouragement.
545
546  + Fix bug with Compass DAT diving data.  If a survey uses the depth gauge
547    then since 1.4.6 we set its style to "diving", but we weren't clearing that
548    so all surveys after that in the same DAT file were also set as "diving".
549
550  + When parsing of Compass DAT files we report errors in more cases if the
551    input doesn't conform to the format we expect, rather than potentially
552    quietly misinterpreting the data.
553
554  + *entrance now suppresses "Unused fixed point" warning.  This warning is
555    intended to catch typos, which is much less likely for a station named
556    twice.  It's also reasonable to use only *fix and *entrance on a station at
557    the entrance of an unsurveyed cave.
558
559  + Highlight plumbed clino readings fully in diagnostics.  Now the full reading
560    is highlighted instead of just the first character.
561
562  + Report location of previous fix after "already fixed" error/warning.
563
564  + Use "info" diagnostic category for "Originally entered here" message.  This
565    is more logical as the original *begin isn't something to be warned about,
566    only the reentering is.  This was only a warning before because we didn't
567    used to have "info" diagnostics.
568
569  + Use "info" diagnostic category for message about not reporting further
570    uses of a deprecated feature.  Previously this was a warning, but the newer
571    "info" category is more appropriate here.
572
573  + The message about inventing a fixed point is now an "info" diagnostic which
574    allows us to report a location which is where that station is defined,
575    which may be useful to the user.
576
577  + Make highlighting position in error reporting more robust.  We no longer
578    try to highIight if we calculate a negative column offset, when previously
579    we would print billions of spaces.  As far as I know this has never
580    happened in a released version.
581
582  + Error messages which report the program name now remove any ".exe" suffix.
583    This helps the testsuite by making the expected output the same
584    cross-platform, but also seems slightly nicer for users.
585
586* dump3d:
587
588  + The timestamp reported by DATE_NUMERIC is now printed portably.  Previously
589    we were assuming that a time_t is the same size as a long int, which is not
590    true on all platforms.
591
592* manual:
593
594  + (Microsoft Windows version): Update information about installation
595    with/without admin rights.
596
597  + Summarise support for reading CMAP data and its assumptions and
598    limitations.
599
600  + Mention Compass, Walls and CMAP support in the importing data howto
601    section.
602
603  + Drop mention of Rosetta Stal from the manual.  The referred to link from
604    our website was removed in 2015 because Rosetta Stal hadn't been updated
605    for 13.5 years at that point.  Now the domain it was available from has
606    lapsed and is a domain squatter "for sale" page.
607
608* img library:
609
610  + The coordinates in CMAP data are in feet but we were dividing rather
611    than multiplying by the conversion factor to get metres so all
612    coordinates were about 10.76 times too large.
613
614  + Stations in CMAP "station" variant XYZ files are now flagged as
615    underground (as they always have been for "shot" variant XYZ files).
616
617  + When reading CMAP XYZ files, we no longer emit duplicate img_LABEL for
618    stations in loops.
619
620  + A CMAP XYZ file without a survey title is now handled correctly (this was
621    reporting a bogus "Out of memory" error).
622
623  + The img.h header now defines constants IMG_VERSION_SURVEX_POS, etc for the
624    values reported in the version field for non-.3d formats.
625
626  + (Microsoft Windows version): Workaround limitation of Microsoft's C
627    library so we handle dates before 1970 in Compass PLT files, CMAP XYZ
628    files, and older format .3d files.  Previously these were reported
629    as "unknown date".
630
631* We now support overriding the location of support files by setting the
632  SURVEXLIB environment variable.  We no longer look at the srcdir
633  environment variable for this.
634
635* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created automatically
636  on Github actions, which has required a few changes.  It now packages a
637  64-bit build, and is created with Innosetup 6.3.2 which no longer supports
638  Vista.  The installer is also now significantly larger, which is mostly
639  because we now need to include a large number of DLLs, most of which are
640  dependencies of the mingw64 FFmpeg and GDAL packages.
641
642* (Microsoft Windows version): If the directory where we expect the PROJ
643  support files to be does not exist for some reason we now avoid triggering
644  a segmentation fault in PROJ.
645
646* Build system:
647
648  + The GDAL library is now required to build Survex.
649
650  + (Microsoft Windows version): The probe for GL and GLU libraries now also
651    checks for Microsoft's non-standard library names.
652
653  + Correct configure --help output for --enable-werror for which the default
654    is actually "no" rather than "maintainer-mode".
655
656* testsuite:
657
658  + aven.tst: Skip a testcase when running on mingw as it seems to hang there.
659    We already skip this testcase on macos for what appears to be the same
660    problem.
661
662  + Fix comparison of output to work on platforms using DOS line endings.
663
664Changes in 1.4.8 (2024-04-23):
665
666* cavern:
667
668  + The warning for a compass reading on a plumbed leg was already suppressed
669    for a compass or backcompass reading of 0, but is now also suppressed for a
670    backcompass of 180° (or equivalent) which seems to be common in some Compass
671    datasets, but also seems sensible generally.  Thanks to Simeon Warner for
672    sharing some data which triggered such warnings.
673
674  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name is now also
675    emitted in the case where a name was used first for a station, and then as
676    a survey on an explicitly prefixed name.  Closes
677    https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4, reported by Thomas Holder.
678
679  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name now highlights
680    the problematic name within the line shown for context.
681
682  + Fix the reported token string reported by some errors with readings.  This
683    happened to work on at least x86-64 Linux, but the code was invalid and
684    failed on some architectures.
685
686* Fix to build with newer FFmpeg versions.
687
688* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now offers the choice to install
689  for just the current user, which allows installing Survex without admin
690  rights.
691
692* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix problems with valid coordinate systems being
693  rejected and aven's cavern log window not showing output.  Reported by
694  Peter Mašič, Špela Borko, Răzvan Dumbravă and detrito.  Thanks especially to
695  Špela Borko for a lot of testing to help track down the cause.
696
697Changes in 1.4.7 (2024-04-07):
698
699* cavern:
700
701  + When using *declination auto we report the range of calculated declinations
702    for each location specified.  After doing this we now reset the range
703    information we're tracking.  Previously we'd misreport the range for
704    the second and subsequent locations.
705
706  + Avoid undefined behaviour on handling filename fallback for filenames
707    containing non-ASCII characters.
708
709  + Show context line with relevant item highlighted for more errors and
710    warnings.
711
712  + The dynamic string handling routines are now more efficient.
713
714  + Fix memory leak if a Compass MAK file opens folders it doesn't close.
715
716  + Fix handling of clino-less legs in Compass DAT.  These would cause cavern
717    to fail with a lot of "NaN" messages.  Now they're treated as having a zero
718    clino with a standard deviation based on the leg length, just like in .svx
719    files.
720
721* img library:
722
723  + Compass PLT: Treat LRUD readings > 900 as omitted readings, which matches
724    what Compass does.  Thanks to Larry Fish for clarifying this.
725
726  + Avoid undefined behaviour after realloc().  We were adjusting a pointer
727    within the reallocated block by subtracting the old block address and
728    adding on the new one.  Technically this is undefined behaviour, although
729    in practice it seems likely it'll work and we've not seen misbehaviour due
730    to it.  However it's easy to avoid by calculating the offset before the
731    realloc().
732
733* Portability:
734
735  + Provide prototype for getopt() to avoid warnings with very recent compiler
736    versions.
737
738  + Avoid using sprintf(), which now triggers warnings on some platforms.
739
740* Build system:
741
742  + Add configure --enable-werror option to turn compiler warnings into errors.
743
744* Manual:
745
746  + Expand details of Compass MAK CRS support.
747
748  + Replace very out of date information about binary RPM packages.
749
750* Minor translation updates.
751
752* (Microsoft Windows version): Now uses PROJ 9.3.0 and ships all of the
753  ancillary files that PROJ comes with.  Hoping this fixes use of coordinate
754  system EPSG:3912 failing, which was reported by Peter Mašič but I've not
755  managed to reproduce.
756
757Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-03-07):
758
759* cavern:
760
761  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
762    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
763    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
764    mailing list.
765
766  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
767    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
768    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
769    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
770
771  + When opening a file, cavern has fallback handling if the file isn't found
772    to help people processing datasets from platforms with case-insensitive
773    file systems.  Previously cavern would fold the filename to lowercase and
774    retry.  Now if this fails, it will also try the lower case version but
775    with the initial character of the leaf in upper case, and finally folding
776    the whole specified filename to upper case.
777
778  + Dynamically pick a suitable level separator character and store it in .3d
779    file, instead of it being hard-coded to '.' (we still use '.' unless it
780    has been *set as a "name" character, or for Compass DAT/MAK files unless it
781    has been used in a station name).  This is a step towards addressing the
782    situations raised by Thomas Holder in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4
783    and https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/5 .
784
785  + Compass DAT files:
786
787    - The shot flag S is now understood to indicate a splay.
788
789    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
790      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
791      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
792      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
793      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
794      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
795
796    - Surveys which indicate a depth gauge was used for azimuth readings are
797      now marked as STYLE_DIVING in the 3d file.
798
799    - Compass and clino corrections are now implemented for backsights.
800
801    - The tape correction in Compass DAT files is now handled correctly.  The
802      specified value is in feet, but cavern was incorrectly treating it as
803      being in metres.
804
805    - We now handle the newer 15 character "FORMAT:" encoding.  Previously
806      cavern wouldn't detect when there were backsights in this case.
807
808    - We now treat survey date January 1st 1901 as "no date specified" since
809      this is the date Compass stores in this situation, and it seems very
810      unlikely to occur in real data.
811
812    - In Compass DAT files a dummy zero-length leg from a station to itself is
813      used to provide a place to specify LRUD for the start or end of a
814      traverse (depending if dimensions are measured at the from or to
815      station), and so we no longer issue a warning about equating a station to
816      itself for DAT files.
817
818  + Compass MAK files:
819
820    - The base location command is now understood.  This is how Compass
821      specifies a location to calculate magnetic declination at, and we
822      now handle this like Survex's native "*declination auto X Y Z".
823
824    - Survex uses the specified UTM zone and datum provided the combination can
825      be expressed as an EPSG code (lack of any EPSG codes for a datum suggests
826      it's obsolete; lack of a code for a particular datum+zone combination
827      suggests the zone is outside of the defined area of use of the datum).
828      Example Compass files we've seen use "North American 1927" outside of
829      where it's defined for use, presumably because some users fail to change
830      the datum from Compass' default.  To enable reading such files we return
831      a PROJ4 string of the form "+proj=utm ..." for "North American 1927" and
832      "North American 1983" for UTM zones which don't have an EPSG code.
833      Please let us know if support for additional cases which aren't currently
834      supported would be useful to you.
835
836    - Folder commands are now understood.
837
838    - Flag fixed stations as entrances.  Experimentation with Compass shows
839      this is how it treats them ("distance from entrance" in a .DAT file
840      counts from 0 at these points).
841
842  + We now support reading Compass CLP files.  These are very like DAT files,
843    except they contain loop-closed data.  You might find this useful if you
844    want to keep existing stations at the same adjusted positions Compass gave
845    (for example to be able to draw extensions on an existing drawn-up survey),
846    or if the original DAT file has been lost but you still have the CLP file.
847
848* aven:
849
850  + Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
851    Philip Balister.
852
853  + Split the filters for DAT and MAK files in the File->Open drop down list.
854    It seems more likely you'd want to see one type or the other, not both
855    together.
856
857* aven/survexport:
858
859  + Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
860
861  + .json,.kml: Enable export of surface legs.  Currently surface and
862    underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats when both
863    are enabled.
864
865  + .3d: The coordinate system is now set.
866
867  + .svg: Equated stations now get their correct names in the id attribute
868    of <circle> tags.  Previously one of the names would be repeated for
869    all of a set of equated stations.
870
871  + .plt:
872
873    - Anonymous stations previously resulted in an empty name in the PLT
874      file.  This isn't explicitly disallowed by the PLT format description,
875      but Compass' viewer gives an error for such lines.  Now we invent names
876      by encoding the station coordinates which should be unique.
877
878    - The S shot flag is now set for splays, and the P shot flag (hide from
879      plotting) is set for surface legs (which matches the use suggested in the
880      Compass docs).
881
882* img library:
883
884  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
885    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
886    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
887    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
888    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
889    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
890    default).
891
892  + Improve Compass PLT support (many of these are Compass features added
893    since Survex's support for Compass was originally added):
894
895    - Survey dates are now handled fully.  We treat survey date January 1st
896      1901 as "no date specified" since this is the date Compass stores in this
897      situation, and it seems very unlikely to occur in real data.
898
899    - LRUD data is now translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END.
900
901    - We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE for stations where the "Distance From
902      Entrance" field is present and zero.
903
904    - The shot flag L is now translated to img_FLAG_DUPLICATE.
905
906    - The shot flag S is now translated to img_FLAG_SPLAY.  A station at the
907      far end of a shot flagged S gets img_SFLAG_WALL set since the Compass PLT
908      format specification says:
909
910          The shot is a "splay" shot, which is a shot from a station to the
911          wall to define the passage shape.
912
913    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
914      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
915      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
916      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
917      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
918      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
919
920    - The d plot command is now supported (previously img failed to parse
921      PLT files using this command) - it's like D but implies the P shot flag.
922
923    - If a PLT file only uses one datum and it is "WGS 1984" then the UTM zone
924      is converted to the appropriate EPSG code and this is reported as the
925      coordinate system.  Other datums could be handled, but the mapping to
926      EPSG code is less simple.  Also it seems Compass supports at least
927      24 datums but it doesn't document all the strings it uses for them.
928      Files with multiple datums could be handled too, but we'd need to convert
929      coordinates to a common coordinate system in the img library, which would
930      need it to depend on PROJ.  Please let us know if support for more and/or
931      mixed datums would be useful to you.
932
933    - Duplicate img_LABEL items are no longer returned - this used to happen
934      for stations where more than two shots met within a single survey.
935
936    - We now infer img_SFLAG_EXPORTED for any station that appears in more
937      than one survey in the PLT file.
938
939    - We now set flag img_SFLAG_FIXED for any station which is listed as
940      a fixed point in the PLT file.
941
942    - If there's only one non-empty section name in a PLT file and we aren't
943      filtering by survey, we now report that section name as the title.  If
944      there are multiple different non-empty section names, we still report the
945      basename of the file as before.  If we're filtering by survey, we report
946      the comment for that survey as before.
947
948    - Fix bug handling PLT with omitted LRUD.  The format specification
949      documents that LRUD may be omitted, though it seems Compass never
950      actually omits it and at least some versions of Compass failed to handle
951      it being omitted too.
952
953* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
954
955* manual:
956
957  + Document Compass support in detail.
958
959  + Improve NATO mils example.
960
961* INSTALL:
962
963  + Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by Andrew
964    Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
965
966  + Document the requirement for a C99 compiler for building from source.
967    We made this a requirement in 1.4.2, but only noted it in NEWS.
968
969* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
970
971* Replace references to "libav" with "FFmpeg" since the libav project seems to
972  now be defunct, and we've always supported using either.
973
974* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros and drop
975  probes for features that we can safely assume now we require a C99 compiler
976  and workarounds for obsolete platforms.
977
978* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
979
980Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
981
982* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
983
984* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
985  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
986
987* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
988
989* Minor translation updates.
990
991Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
992
993* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
994  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
995
996* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
997  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
998  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
999  checks that were rejecting this.
1000
1001  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
1002  really do that's better than that.
1003
1004  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
1005
1006* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
1007  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
1008  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
1009  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
1010  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
1011
1012* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
1013  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
1014
1015* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
1016  bearing spin control.
1017
1018* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
1019  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
1020  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
1021  currently but please report issues.
1022
1023* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
1024  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
1025  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
1026  position".
1027
1028* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
1029  Reported by echarlie
1030
1031* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
1032
1033Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
1034
1035* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
1036
1037* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
1038  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
1039
1040* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
1041  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
1042
1043* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
1044  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
1045
1046* Minor translation updates.
1047
1048* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
1049  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
1050  works on Wayland).
1051
1052* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
1053  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
1054
1055* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
1056
1057* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
1058  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
1059  Requested by Martin Budaj.
1060
1061Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
1062
1063* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
1064
1065* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
1066
1067* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
1068  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
1069
1070* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
1071  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
1072  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
1073  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
1074
1075* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
1076  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
1077  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1078
1079* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
1080  string properly.
1081
1082* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
1083  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
1084  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
1085  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
1086  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
1087  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
1088  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
1089
1090* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
1091  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
1092
1093  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
1094
1095* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
1096  where the included filename is actually specified.
1097
1098* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
1099  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
1100
1101* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
1102  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
1103  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
1104
1105* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
1106  running on the Continuous Integration system.
1107
1108* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
1109  newer version of Innosetup.  This means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the
1110  minimum supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support
1111  anyway.
1112
1113* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
1114  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
1115
1116* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1117
1118* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
1119  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
1120  inconvenience anyone.
1121
1122Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
1123
1124* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
1125
1126* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
1127  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
1128  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
1129  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
1130
1131* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
1132  in 1.4.0.
1133
1134* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
1135
1136Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
1137
1138* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
1139  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
1140  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
1141  Couwenberg.
1142
1143  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
1144  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
1145  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
1146  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
1147
1148  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
1149  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
1150
1151* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
1152  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
1153  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
1154
1155* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
1156  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
1157  strings is strongly discouraged.
1158
1159  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
1160
1161  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
1162
1163  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
1164  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
1165
1166* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
1167  Green.
1168
1169* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
1170  echarlie.
1171
1172* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
1173  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
1174  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
1175
1176* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
1177
1178* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
1179
1180* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
1181
1182* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
1183
1184* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
1185  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
1186  stations not attached to a fixed point.
1187
1188Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
1189
1190* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
1191  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
1192  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
1193  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
1194  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
1195
1196* aven:
1197
1198  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
1199    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
1200    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
1201    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
1202    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
1203    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
1204
1205* testsuite:
1206
1207  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
1208    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
1209    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
1210    process exits.
1211
1212* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
1213
1214Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
1215
1216* aven:
1217
1218  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
1219
1220* cavern:
1221
1222  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
1223
1224  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
1225    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
1226    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
1227
1228  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
1229    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
1230    until the next *data command with parameters.
1231
1232  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
1233    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
1234
1235  * Improve test coverage.
1236
1237* survexport:
1238
1239  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
1240    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
1241
1242  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
1243    Batista.
1244
1245* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
1246  Holder.
1247
1248* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
1249  from Thomas Holder.
1250
1251* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
1252  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
1253
1254* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
1255
1256* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1257
1258* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
1259
1260* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
1261
1262* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
1263
1264Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
1265
1266* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
1267  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
1268  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
1269
1270* aven:
1271
1272  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
1273    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
1274    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
1275
1276  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
1277    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
1278    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
1279    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
1280
1281  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
1282    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
1283    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
1284
1285  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
1286
1287Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
1288
1289* aven:
1290
1291  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
1292
1293  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
1294    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
1295    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
1296
1297  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
1298    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
1299    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
1300    orientation.
1301
1302* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
1303  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
1304  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
1305  Richard Knapp.
1306
1307* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
1308  might still need to use them for.
1309
1310* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
1311
1312* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
1313
1314* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
1315  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
1316  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
1317  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
1318
1319* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
1320  is now the recommended approach.
1321
1322Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
1323
1324* aven:
1325
1326  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1327    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
1328    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
1329    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
1330    Brian Clipstone.
1331
1332  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
1333    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
1334
1335Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
1336
1337* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
1338  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
1339  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
1340
1341* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
1342  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
1343  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
1344  with some compilers.
1345
1346* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
1347  installed.
1348
1349Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
1350
1351* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
1352  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
1353  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
1354
1355* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
1356  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
1357  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
1358
1359* aven:
1360
1361  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
1362    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
1363    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
1364    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
1365    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
1366    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
1367    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
1368    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
1369    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
1370    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
1371    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
1372
1373  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
1374
1375* Documentation:
1376
1377  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
1378
1379  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
1380    placeholder.
1381
1382  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
1383    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
1384
1385* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
1386  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
1387  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
1388
1389* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
1390  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
1391  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
1392  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
1393  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
1394  location to avoid confusion.
1395
1396* Add a few more message translations.
1397
1398* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
1399
1400Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
1401
1402* cavern:
1403
1404  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
1405    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
1406    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
1407    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
1408    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
1409
1410  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
1411    now reports "file not found" instead.
1412
1413  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
1414    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
1415    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
1416
1417* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
1418
1419* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
1420  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
1421  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
1422  removed.
1423
1424* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
1425  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
1426  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
1427  information.  Patch from James Begley.
1428
1429Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
1430
1431* aven:
1432
1433  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
1434    controllable.
1435
1436  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1437
1438  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
1439    Patch from Robert Jones.
1440
1441  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
1442    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
1443    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
1444
1445  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
1446    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
1447
1448* cavern:
1449
1450  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
1451    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
1452
1453  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
1454    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
1455    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
1456    go unnoticed.
1457
1458* survexport:
1459
1460  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
1461    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
1462    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
1463
1464  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
1465    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
1466    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
1467    Stephen Crabtree.
1468
1469* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1470
1471* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
1472  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
1473
1474* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
1475  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
1476  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
1477  therion's team command.
1478
1479Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
1480
1481* aven:
1482
1483  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
1484
1485  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
1486    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
1487    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
1488    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
1489    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
1490    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
1491    for new entrances.
1492
1493  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
1494    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
1495    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
1496    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
1497
1498  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
1499
1500  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
1501    to show via the right-click menu.
1502
1503  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
1504    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
1505    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
1506    child surveys of the parent.
1507
1508  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
1509    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
1510    survey.
1511
1512  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
1513    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
1514
1515  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
1516
1517  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
1518    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
1519
1520  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
1521    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
1522    filtering this matters more).
1523
1524* survexport:
1525
1526  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
1527    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
1528
1529  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
1530
1531* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
1532
1533* Minor translation updates.
1534
1535* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
1536
1537* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
1538
1539* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
1540
1541Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
1542
1543* aven:
1544
1545  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
1546    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
1547    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
1548    on screen, printed and exported.
1549
1550  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
1551    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
1552    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
1553    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
1554    survey.
1555
1556  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
1557    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
1558    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
1559    view.  Reported by Wookey.
1560
1561  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
1562    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
1563    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
1564
1565  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
1566    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
1567
1568  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
1569    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
1570
1571  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
1572    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
1573
1574  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
1575    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
1576
1577  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
1578    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
1579
1580* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
1581  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
1582  tools could do, plus much more.
1583
1584* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
1585
1586* Minor updates to various other translations.
1587
1588* img library:
1589
1590  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
1591
1592  + Improve API documentation.
1593
1594* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
1595  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
1596  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
1597
1598* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
1599  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
1600  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
1601  control what gets exported.
1602
1603Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
1604
1605* aven:
1606
1607  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1608    of 1.2.33.
1609
1610  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
1611
1612Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
1613
1614* aven:
1615
1616  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
1617    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
1618    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
1619    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
1620
1621  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
1622    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
1623    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
1624    Erin Lynch.
1625
1626  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
1627    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
1628    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
1629
1630  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
1631    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
1632    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
1633    unnecessarily.
1634
1635  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
1636    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
1637    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
1638    for this control).
1639
1640  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
1641    under GTK3.
1642
1643  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
1644    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
1645    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
1646
1647  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
1648    current development version).
1649
1650  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
1651    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
1652    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
1653
1654* cavern:
1655
1656  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
1657    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
1658    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
1659    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
1660    "19".
1661
1662* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
1663  Evaristo Quiroga.
1664
1665* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1666
1667* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
1668  milosch.
1669
1670* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
1671  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
1672  translated messages.
1673
1674* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
1675  Indonesian and Polish.
1676
1677* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
1678  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
1679  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1680
1681* Fix a few compiler warnings.
1682
1683* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
1684  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
1685  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
1686
1687* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
1688
1689  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
1690    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
1691    but happens to fail if it isn't.
1692
1693  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
1694
1695  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
1696
1697  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
1698
1699* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
1700  detected at run time on macOS.
1701
1702* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
1703  by the homebrew formula.
1704
1705* buildmacosx.sh:
1706
1707  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
1708    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
1709
1710  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
1711
1712* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
1713  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
1714
1715Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
1716
1717* aven:
1718
1719  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
1720    and Anthony Day.
1721
1722  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
1723    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
1724    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1725    Erin Lynch in #89.
1726
1727  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
1728    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
1729    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
1730    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
1731    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
1732    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
1733    elevations.
1734
1735  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
1736    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
1737    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
1738
1739  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
1740    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
1741    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
1742    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
1743    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
1744    "on".
1745
1746  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
1747    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
1748
1749  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
1750    the display wouldn't update right away.
1751
1752* Manual:
1753
1754  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
1755
1756  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
1757
1758* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
1759  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
1760  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
1761  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
1762  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
1763
1764Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
1765
1766* aven:
1767
1768  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
1769    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
1770    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
1771
1772  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
1773    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
1774    before by others.
1775
1776  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
1777
1778  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
1779    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
1780    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
1781    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
1782    original change.
1783
1784  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
1785    which extends beyond the end of the line).
1786
1787  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
1788    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
1789
1790  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
1791
1792  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
1793
1794  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
1795    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
1796    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
1797    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
1798    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
1799    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
1800    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
1801
1802  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
1803    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
1804
1805  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
1806    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
1807    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
1808
1809  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
1810    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
1811    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
1812    much vertical range.
1813
1814  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
1815    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
1816    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
1817    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
1818    are drawn in this way.
1819
1820  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
1821    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
1822    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
1823    centre should be a single pixel.
1824
1825* cavern:
1826
1827  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
1828    entering passage data where there are side passages.
1829
1830  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
1831    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
1832
1833  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
1834    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
1835    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
1836    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
1837
1838  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
1839    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
1840    Reported by Erin Lynch.
1841
1842  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
1843    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
1844    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
1845    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
1846
1847  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
1848    other messages.
1849
1850* extend:
1851
1852  + Now runs a bit faster.
1853
1854  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
1855    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
1856    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
1857    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
1858    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
1859    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
1860    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
1861    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
1862    be handled better) most welcome.
1863
1864* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
1865
1866* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
1867
1868* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
1869  translations from therion.
1870
1871* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
1872  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
1873
1874* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
1875  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
1876  Footleg.
1877
1878* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
1879
1880* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
1881
1882Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
1883
1884* aven:
1885
1886  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
1887    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1888
1889  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
1890    Suggested by detrito.
1891
1892  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
1893    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
1894
1895  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
1896    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
1897
1898* Add man page for dump3d.
1899
1900Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
1901
1902* aven:
1903
1904  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
1905    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
1906
1907  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
1908    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1909
1910* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
1911  Lynch and "detrito".
1912
1913* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
1914  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
1915
1916Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
1917
1918* cavern:
1919
1920  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
1921    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
1922    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
1923    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
1924    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
1925
1926  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
1927
1928  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
1929
1930  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
1931    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
1932    degrees).
1933
1934* aven:
1935
1936  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
1937    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
1938    Day.
1939
1940  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
1941    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1942
1943  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
1944    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
1945
1946  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
1947    of the line in cavern log window.
1948
1949  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1950
1951  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1952
1953  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
1954    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
1955    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
1956    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
1957    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
1958
1959  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
1960    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
1961    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
1962
1963  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
1964
1965  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
1966
1967  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
1968    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
1969    Atkinson and myself.
1970
1971  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
1972
1973  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
1974    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
1975    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
1976    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
1977    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
1978    survey.
1979
1980  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
1981    lines on my netbook.
1982
1983  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
1984    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
1985    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
1986
1987  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
1988    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
1989    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
1990    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
1991    glitches.
1992
1993  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
1994    we currently list, though slower to write.
1995
1996  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
1997    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
1998
1999  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
2000    warnings when building against a recent version.
2001
2002  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
2003    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
2004    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
2005    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
2006
2007  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
2008    movie export.
2009
2010  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
2011    export.
2012
2013* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
2014  James Begley.
2015
2016* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
2017  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
2018
2019* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
2020
2021* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
2022  messages get used automatically.
2023
2024* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
2025  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
2026
2027* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
2028
2029* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
2030
2031* Use https for more URLs which support it.
2032
2033Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
2034
2035* aven:
2036
2037  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
2038    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
2039    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
2040    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
2041    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
2042    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
2043    probably change in the future).
2044
2045  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
2046    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
2047    the survey tree root.
2048
2049  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
2050    the view was recentred).
2051
2052  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
2053    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
2054    wrong direction).
2055
2056  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
2057    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
2058    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
2059
2060  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
2061    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
2062    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
2063    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
2064
2065  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
2066    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
2067
2068  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
2069    addresses #60.
2070
2071  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
2072
2073  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
2074    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
2075    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
2076
2077  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
2078
2079  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
2080    360 or down past 0.
2081
2082  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
2083    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
2084    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
2085    real-valued ones.
2086
2087  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
2088    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
2089
2090  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
2091    Lynch.
2092
2093  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
2094
2095  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
2096    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
2097
2098  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
2099    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
2100    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
2101
2102  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
2103    should now work.
2104
2105* cavern:
2106
2107  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
2108
2109  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
2110    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
2111    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
2112
2113  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
2114    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
2115    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
2116
2117  + Fix check for end of version number array in *require.  We would check up
2118    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
2119    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
2120    issue.
2121
2122  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
2123    by patch from Colin Watson.
2124
2125  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
2126
2127* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
2128
2129* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
2130  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
2131
2132* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
2133  used in the same dataset.
2134
2135* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
2136  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
2137
2138* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
2139  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
2140  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
2141
2142* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
2143
2144Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
2145
2146* aven:
2147
2148  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
2149    cavern again.
2150
2151* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
2152  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
2153  location and use the same start menu folder.
2154
2155* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
2156  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
2157
2158* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
2159  by James Begley.
2160
2161Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
2162
2163* aven:
2164
2165  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
2166    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
2167    to address.
2168
2169  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
2170    over the survey tree.
2171
2172  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
2173
2174  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
2175    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
2176
2177  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
2178    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
2179    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
2180    encoded.
2181
2182  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
2183    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
2184    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
2185    terminals which do still support this.
2186
2187  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
2188    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
2189
2190* cavern:
2191
2192  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
2193    Edwards (see #78).
2194
2195  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
2196    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
2197    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
2198    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
2199
2200  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
2201    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
2202    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
2203
2204  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
2205    from Pete Smart (see #69).
2206
2207* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
2208  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
2209  Black.
2210
2211* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
2212
2213* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
2214  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
2215  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
2216  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
2217  Black.
2218
2219* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
2220  Black.
2221
2222* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
2223
2224* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
2225
2226* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
2227
2228* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
2229
2230* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
2231
2232* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
2233  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
2234
2235* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
2236  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
2237  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
2238
2239* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
2240  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
2241  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
2242  privileges or not.
2243
2244Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
2245
2246* aven:
2247
2248  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
2249    Clipstone.
2250
2251  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
2252    Reported by Jenny Black.
2253
2254  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
2255    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
2256    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
2257
2258  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
2259    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
2260    messages.
2261
2262  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
2263    the terminal in 1.2.23.
2264
2265* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
2266  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
2267
2268* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
2269
2270* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
2271  by Wookey.
2272
2273Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
2274
2275* aven:
2276
2277  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
2278    machines.
2279
2280  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
2281
2282  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
2283    already being processed.
2284
2285  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
2286    Reported by Martin Green.
2287
2288  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
2289
2290* cavern:
2291
2292  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
2293    find the original survey notes).
2294
2295  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
2296    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
2297    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
2298    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
2299    progress display to be useful.
2300
2301* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
2302
2303* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
2304  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
2305
2306* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
2307  running cavern.
2308
2309* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
2310  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
2311  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
2312
2313Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
2314
2315* aven:
2316
2317  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
2318    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
2319    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
2320    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
2321    finding this fix.
2322
2323* cavern:
2324
2325  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
2326
2327  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
2328    station.
2329
2330  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
2331    *export.
2332
2333Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
2334
2335* aven:
2336
2337  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
2338    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
2339    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
2340
2341  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
2342
2343  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
2344    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
2345    does.
2346
2347  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
2348    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
2349
2350  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
2351    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
2352
2353  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
2354    as appropriate.
2355
2356  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
2357    values on Windows.
2358
2359* cavern:
2360
2361  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
2362    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
2363    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
2364
2365  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
2366    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
2367
2368  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
2369    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
2370    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
2371    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
2372
2373  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
2374    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
2375    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
2376    Atkinson.
2377
2378  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
2379    actual error rather than on a separate line.
2380
2381  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
2382    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
2383    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
2384    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
2385
2386  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
2387    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
2388    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
2389
2390* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
2391  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
2392  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
2393  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
2394
2395* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
2396
2397* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
2398  "*DECLINATION" command.
2399
2400* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
2401  Reported by Jenny Black.
2402
2403* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
2404  documentation.
2405
2406* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
2407  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
2408
2409* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
2410
2411* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
2412
2413Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
2414
2415* aven:
2416
2417  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
2418    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
2419    the same or very similar by default.
2420
2421  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
2422    Maynard.
2423
2424  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
2425
2426  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
2427
2428  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
2429    away.
2430
2431  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
2432
2433  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
2434    display it.
2435
2436* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
2437  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
2438  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
2439  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
2440
2441* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
2442
2443* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
2444  before 1.2.19.
2445
2446* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
2447  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
2448
2449* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
2450
2451* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
2452  disk image.
2453
2454* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
2455
2456* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
2457  libav features we don't use.
2458
2459* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
2460  a load of libav features we don't use.
2461
2462* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
2463  message in the installer.
2464
2465Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
2466
2467* aven:
2468
2469  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
2470    the exported file in 1.2.18.
2471
2472  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
2473
2474  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
2475    exit full screen mode.
2476
2477  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
2478    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
2479    using since 1.2.7).
2480
2481  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
2482    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
2483    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
2484    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
2485    St. Lawrence.
2486
2487  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
2488    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
2489
2490  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
2491    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
2492    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
2493
2494  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
2495    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
2496    case like we do on other platforms.
2497
2498  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
2499
2500  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
2501    support multi-monitor setups.
2502
2503  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
2504    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
2505
2506  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
2507    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
2508
2509  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
2510    cases.
2511
2512  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
2513    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
2514    Erin Lynch)
2515
2516  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
2517    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
2518    items in in so it uses the full width.
2519
2520  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
2521    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
2522    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
2523    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
2524    window.
2525
2526  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
2527    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
2528    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
2529    only relevant on the first ever run.
2530
2531* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
2532
2533* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
2534  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
2535  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
2536  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
2537  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
2538  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
2539
2540* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
2541  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
2542
2543Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
2544
2545* aven:
2546
2547  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
2548    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
2549    rendering it as a transparent surface.
2550
2551  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
2552    sanely want to perform from the menu.
2553
2554  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
2555    colouring options.
2556
2557  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
2558
2559  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
2560    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
2561    pressing "Escape".
2562
2563  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
2564    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
2565
2566  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
2567    exporting.
2568
2569  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
2570
2571  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
2572    is quite likely to change.
2573
2574  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
2575    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
2576
2577  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
2578    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
2579    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
2580
2581  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
2582
2583  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
2584    markers in orange.
2585
2586  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
2587    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
2588
2589  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
2590    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
2591    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
2592    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
2593    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
2594    them would be better.
2595
2596  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
2597    Gee.
2598
2599  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
2600    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
2601    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
2602
2603  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
2604
2605* cavern:
2606
2607  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
2608    susscorfa).
2609
2610  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
2611    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
2612
2613  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
2614
2615  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
2616    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
2617
2618  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
2619    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
2620
2621* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
2622
2623* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
2624  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
2625  in a modern desktop.
2626
2627* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
2628  the filename in the error message.
2629
2630* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
2631  most complete translations.
2632
2633* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
2634
2635* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
2636  lacks them.
2637
2638* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
2639
2640* Manual:
2641
2642  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
2643    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
2644
2645  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
2646
2647  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
2648
2649  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
2650    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
2651    available for download.
2652
2653* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
2654  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
2655  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
2656
2657* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2658
2659* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
2660
2661Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
2662
2663* MacOS X version:
2664
2665  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
2666
2667  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
2668
2669  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
2670
2671  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
2672
2673  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
2674    currently do this for us.
2675
2676  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
2677
2678  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
2679
2680  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
2681
2682  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
2683    OS X cursor.
2684
2685  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
2686    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
2687    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
2688    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
2689    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
2690    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
2691    with TextEdit.app for example).
2692
2693  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
2694    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
2695
2696  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
2697
2698  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
2699    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
2700
2701  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
2702    Riggs.
2703
2704  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
2705    space.
2706
2707  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
2708
2709  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
2710    10.10.1.
2711
2712  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
2713    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
2714    errors.
2715
2716  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
2717    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
2718    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
2719    wxWidgets build supports by default.
2720
2721  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
2722
2723* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
2724  treat as a single leg.
2725
2726* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
2727
2728* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
2729
2730* aven:
2731
2732  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
2733    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
2734
2735  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
2736    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
2737    1:500).
2738
2739  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
2740    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
2741    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
2742    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
2743
2744  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
2745    there rather than the two animations fighting.
2746
2747  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
2748    fast.
2749
2750  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
2751    when rotating).
2752
2753  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
2754    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
2755
2756* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
2757  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
2758
2759* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
2760
2761* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
2762
2763* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
2764
2765* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
2766
2767* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
2768  we're using git.
2769
2770* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
2771
2772  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
2773    compass.
2774
2775  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
2776
2777  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
2778
2779Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
2780
2781* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
2782
2783* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
2784
2785* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
2786
2787* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
2788  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
2789
2790* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
2791
2792* tests/: Improve test coverage.
2793
2794* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
2795  Greek and Polish.
2796
2797* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
2798  by Martin Sluka.
2799
2800* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
2801  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
2802
2803Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
2804
2805* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
2806  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
2807  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
2808  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
2809  for *cs has also been improved.
2810
2811* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
2812  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
2813  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
2814  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
2815
2816* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
2817  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
2818  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
2819  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
2820  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
2821
2822* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
2823  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
2824  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
2825
2826* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
2827
2828* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
2829
2830* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
2831  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
2832  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
2833
2834* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
2835  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
2836
2837Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
2838
2839* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
2840  system in use in 3d v8 files.
2841
2842* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
2843  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
2844  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
2845  export dialog.
2846
2847* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
2848  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
2849  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
2850  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
2851  rather than having one corner there.
2852
2853* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
2854  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
2855
2856* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
2857  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
2858
2859* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
2860  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
2861  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
2862
2863* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
2864  such as 64-bit Linux.
2865
2866* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
2867  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
2868
2869* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
2870  64-bit platforms.
2871
2872* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
2873  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
2874  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
2875
2876* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
2877  the space available in the aven UI.
2878
2879* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
2880  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
2881  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
2882
2883* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
2884  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
2885
2886* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
2887  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
2888  about unconnected surveys.
2889
2890* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
2891  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
2892
2893* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
2894  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
2895  freed memory.
2896
2897* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
2898
2899* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
2900
2901* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
2902
2903* Fix a compiler warning.
2904
2905* Improve test coverage.
2906
2907Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
2908
2909* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
2910  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
2911  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
2912
2913* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
2914  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
2915  Hugh St Lawrence.
2916
2917* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
2918  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
2919  with using aven on a touch screen device.
2920
2921* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
2922  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
2923
2924* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
2925  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
2926
2927* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
2928  off and back on.
2929
2930* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
2931  up time a little.
2932
2933* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
2934  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
2935
2936* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
2937  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
2938  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
2939  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
2940  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
2941  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
2942  situation too.
2943
2944* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
2945  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
2946  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
2947
2948* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
2949
2950* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
2951
2952* Minor translation updates to French.
2953
2954* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
2955
2956* Testsuite improvements:
2957
2958  + Test that "..." anon station works.
2959
2960  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
2961    fail and give an error count.
2962
2963  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
2964
2965Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
2966
2967* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
2968  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
2969  Clipstone.
2970
2971* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
2972
2973* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
2974
2975  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
2976    overlap the scale bar ticks.
2977
2978  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
2979    clipping the border in print preview.
2980
2981  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
2982
2983* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
2984  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
2985
2986* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
2987  available.
2988
2989* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
2990
2991* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
2992
2993* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
2994  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
2995
2996* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
2997  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
2998
2999* Various translation updates.
3000
3001Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
3002
3003* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
3004  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
3005
3006* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
3007  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
3008  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
3009  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
3010
3011* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
3012  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
3013
3014* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
3015  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
3016
3017* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
3018  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
3019
3020* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
3021  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
3022
3023* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
3024  box".
3025
3026* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
3027
3028* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
3029  indicators.
3030
3031* aven: All length units are now translatable.
3032
3033* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
3034  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
3035  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
3036
3037* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
3038  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
3039  measurably slower.
3040
3041* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
3042  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
3043
3044* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
3045  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
3046
3047* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
3048  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
3049  from Therion and elsewhere.
3050
3051* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
3052  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
3053  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
3054
3055* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
3056  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
3057
3058* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
3059  A. Riggs for his work on this.
3060
3061* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
3062  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
3063
3064* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
3065
3066* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
3067  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
3068  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
3069  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
3070  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
3071  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
3072
3073* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
3074
3075Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
3076
3077* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
3078  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
3079  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
3080  Clipstone.
3081
3082* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
3083  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
3084
3085* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
3086  exported SVG files.
3087
3088* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
3089
3090* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
3091  file.
3092
3093* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
3094  GPX files.
3095
3096* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
3097
3098* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
3099  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
3100
3101* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
3102  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
3103  on startup.
3104
3105* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
3106
3107* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
3108  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
3109  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
3110  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
3111  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
3112  other extensions.
3113
3114* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
3115  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
3116  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
3117  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
3118  timezone wrong.
3119
3120* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
3121
3122* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
3123  'SURVEY DATE:'.
3124
3125* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
3126
3127* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
3128
3129* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
3130  enabled.
3131
3132Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
3133
3134* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
3135
3136* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
3137
3138* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
3139
3140* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
3141  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
3142  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
3143
3144* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
3145  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
3146  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
3147
3148* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
3149  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
3150
3151* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
3152
3153* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
3154
3155* Fix some compiler warnings.
3156
3157Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
3158
3159* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
3160  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
3161  Holder.
3162
3163* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
3164  statistics when the value gets large.
3165
3166* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
3167  equations.
3168
3169* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
3170  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
3171  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
3172  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
3173  better when the "View" box is hidden.
3174
3175* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
3176  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
3177
3178* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
3179  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
3180  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
3181  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
3182  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
3183  way is coming soon.
3184
3185* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
3186  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
3187
3188* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
3189  time ago, so update references.
3190
3191* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
3192  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
3193
3194* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
3195  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
3196
3197* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
3198  Sebastian Ramacher.
3199
3200* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
3201
3202* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
3203
3204* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
3205
3206* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
3207
3208* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
3209
3210* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
3211  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
3212  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
3213
3214* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
3215
3216* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
3217
3218* img library:
3219
3220  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
3221    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
3222    reading).
3223
3224  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
3225    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
3226
3227  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
3228    support these as an extension.
3229
3230  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
3231
3232* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
3233  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
3234  itself has any translations for.
3235
3236* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
3237
3238* Minor translation updates.
3239
3240* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
3241
3242Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
3243
3244* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
3245  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
3246  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
3247  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
3248  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
3249  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
3250  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
3251  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
3252
3253* New version 8 of the 3d format:
3254
3255  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
3256
3257  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
3258    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
3259
3260  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
3261    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
3262
3263  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
3264
3265  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
3266    human-readable string.
3267
3268  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
3269    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
3270
3271* img library:
3272
3273  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
3274
3275  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
3276    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
3277
3278  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
3279    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
3280    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
3281    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
3282    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
3283    explicitly in the file.
3284
3285  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
3286
3287* aven:
3288
3289  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
3290    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
3291    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
3292    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
3293    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
3294    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
3295
3296  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
3297    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
3298    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
3299    queued up.
3300
3301  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
3302    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
3303
3304  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
3305    them like other legs.
3306
3307  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
3308    station names to positions.
3309
3310  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
3311    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
3312    wrongly.
3313
3314  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
3315
3316  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
3317    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
3318    that's used by the desktop).
3319
3320  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
3321
3322  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
3323    error from cavern.
3324
3325  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
3326
3327  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
3328    in the dialog in sync.
3329
3330* cavern:
3331
3332  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
3333    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
3334    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
3335
3336  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
3337    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
3338
3339  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
3340    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
3341    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
3342    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
3343    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
3344    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
3345    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
3346    degrees.
3347
3348  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
3349    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
3350    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
3351
3352  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
3353
3354  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
3355    warnings.
3356
3357  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
3358    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
3359
3360  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
3361    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
3362
3363  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
3364    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
3365    relevant.
3366
3367  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
3368    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
3369    the same line.
3370
3371  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
3372    "End of line not blank" error.
3373
3374  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
3375    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
3376
3377  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
3378    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
3379
3380  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
3381    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
3382    include that character in the token reported.
3383
3384  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
3385    first item.
3386
3387* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
3388
3389* dump3d:
3390
3391  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
3392    info from 3d files in scripts.
3393
3394  + Add --show-dates option.
3395
3396  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
3397
3398  + Report the data style of legs.
3399
3400  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
3401
3402  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
3403
3404* Test suite:
3405
3406  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
3407    expected output so it passes reliably.
3408
3409  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
3410    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
3411
3412  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
3413    for more.
3414
3415* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
3416  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
3417  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
3418
3419* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
3420  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
3421
3422* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
3423  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
3424
3425* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
3426  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
3427  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
3428  settings.
3429
3430* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
3431  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
3432  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
3433  set correctly.
3434
3435* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
3436  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
3437  them to translate.
3438
3439* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
3440  close to complete.
3441
3442* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
3443
3444* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
3445
3446* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
3447
3448Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
3449
3450* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
3451
3452* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
3453  package (ticket#35).
3454
3455* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
3456  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
3457  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
3458
3459* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
3460  Kahler.
3461
3462* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
3463  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
3464  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
3465  libproj and build survex with:
3466
3467      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3468      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3469
3470* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
3471
3472* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
3473
3474* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
3475  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
3476  file".
3477
3478Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
3479
3480* aven:
3481
3482  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
3483
3484  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
3485    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
3486
3487  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
3488
3489  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
3490
3491  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
3492    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
3493
3494* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
3495  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
3496  error early on).
3497
3498* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
3499  the man page source as well as in the filename.
3500
3501Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
3502
3503* aven:
3504
3505  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
3506    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
3507    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
3508    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
3509
3510  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
3511    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
3512
3513  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
3514
3515  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
3516
3517  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
3518
3519* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
3520
3521Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
3522
3523* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
3524
3525* (Mac OS X version):
3526
3527  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
3528
3529  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
3530
3531  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
3532    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
3533
3534  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
3535
3536* aven:
3537
3538  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
3539
3540  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
3541
3542    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
3543      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
3544      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
3545      character.
3546
3547    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
3548      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
3549      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
3550      and two in a few cases.
3551
3552    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
3553      8 pixels.
3554
3555  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
3556    draw crosses.
3557
3558  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
3559    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
3560    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
3561    is the start or end of a tube.
3562
3563  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
3564    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
3565
3566  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
3567    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
3568    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
3569
3570* extend:
3571
3572  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
3573
3574  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
3575    which means "no info").
3576
3577* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
3578  was no longer used - it certainly is!
3579
3580* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
3581  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
3582  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
3583  current character set.
3584
3585* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
3586
3587* Test suite:
3588
3589  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
3590
3591  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
3592
3593Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
3594
3595* aven:
3596
3597  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
3598    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
3599    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
3600    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
3601    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
3602    usable format.
3603
3604  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
3605    files.  (ticket#26)
3606
3607  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
3608    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
3609
3610  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
3611    using lines.
3612
3613  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
3614    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
3615
3616  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
3617    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
3618    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
3619    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
3620
3621  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
3622    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
3623    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
3624
3625  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
3626    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
3627    in 1.2.1.
3628
3629Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
3630
3631* Translation updates for US English.
3632
3633* aven:
3634
3635  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
3636    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
3637
3638  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
3639
3640  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
3641    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
3642    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
3643    visually similar to the survey legs.
3644
3645  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
3646    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
3647
3648  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
3649    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
3650    does still provide some useful information).
3651
3652  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
3653    a depth band boundary.
3654
3655  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
3656    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
3657    full-screen mode).
3658
3659  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
3660    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
3661    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
3662    are a little better, though still not perfect.
3663
3664  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
3665    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
3666
3667  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
3668    that station.
3669
3670  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
3671    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
3672
3673  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
3674    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
3675    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
3676    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
3677    a case as it is a bug).
3678
3679  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
3680    invalidated on window width or height changes.
3681
3682  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
3683    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
3684    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
3685    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
3686
3687  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
3688    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
3689    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
3690    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
3691    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
3692    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
3693    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
3694
3695  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
3696    similarly for other compass points.
3697
3698  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
3699    info in the "About" dialog.
3700
3701  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
3702    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
3703
3704  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
3705    as well as still working with older versions.
3706
3707  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
3708    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
3709
3710  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
3711    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
3712    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
3713    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
3714    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
3715
3716  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
3717    nicer and make better use of the available space.
3718
3719  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
3720    dialog.
3721
3722  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
3723    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
3724
3725  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
3726    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
3727
3728  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
3729
3730  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
3731
3732  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
3733    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
3734    being pressed and toggle full screen.
3735
3736* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
3737  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
3738
3739* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
3740
3741* More messages are now available to be translated.
3742
3743* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
3744  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
3745
3746* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
3747
3748* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
3749  sudo for installing on Unix.
3750
3751* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
3752  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
3753
3754* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
3755  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
3756
3757* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
3758
3759Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
3760
3761* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
3762  English.
3763
3764* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
3765  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
3766  case.
3767
3768* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
3769  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
3770  these into Survex's .msg format.
3771
3772* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
3773  an actual command).
3774
3775* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
3776  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
3777  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
3778  recurrence of that).
3779
3780* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
3781  than /usr/doc/survex.
3782
3783* aven:
3784
3785  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
3786
3787  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
3788    nicer at larger sizes.
3789
3790  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
3791    with GLX >= 1.3.
3792
3793  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
3794
3795  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
3796    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
3797    required libraries set up for building releases.
3798
3799  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
3800
3801  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
3802
3803  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
3804    rendered with icons on some platforms.
3805
3806  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
3807    ISO8859-1).
3808
3809  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
3810    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
3811
3812  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
3813    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
3814
3815* cavern:
3816
3817  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
3818    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
3819    fatal error!
3820
3821  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
3822    format to output.  (ticket#21)
3823
3824* img library:
3825
3826  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
3827    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
3828
3829* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
3830  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
3831
3832Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
3833
3834* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
3835  Portuguese, and US English.
3836
3837* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
3838  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
3839
3840* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
3841  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
3842
3843* img.c:
3844
3845  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
3846
3847  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
3848
3849* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
3850
3851* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
3852  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
3853  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
3854  translated.
3855
3856Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
3857
3858* aven:
3859
3860  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
3861    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
3862
3863  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
3864    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
3865    addresses ticket#12.
3866
3867  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
3868    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
3869    consistent shape.
3870
3871  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
3872    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
3873    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
3874    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
3875
3876  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
3877    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
3878
3879  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
3880
3881  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
3882    more places.
3883
3884  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
3885    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
3886
3887* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
3888
3889* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
3890  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
3891
3892* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
3893
3894* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
3895  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
3896  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
3897  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
3898  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
3899  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
3900
3901* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
3902  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
3903  redirecting to it.
3904
3905* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
3906  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
3907  I/O).
3908
3909* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
3910  headers.
3911
3912* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
3913
3914* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
3915  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
3916
3917* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
3918
3919Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
3920
3921* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
3922
3923* aven:
3924
3925  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
3926    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
3927    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
3928    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
3929
3930  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
3931
3932  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
3933    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
3934    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
3935    a number.
3936
3937  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
3938    log window.
3939
3940  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
3941    various cases.
3942
3943  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
3944    (ticket#9)
3945
3946  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
3947    namespace with its own "Point" class.
3948
3949  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
3950    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
3951
3952  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
3953
3954  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
3955    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
3956
3957* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
3958  give them before.
3959
3960* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
3961  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
3962  point looking for them now.
3963
3964* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
3965  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
3966  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
3967  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
3968
3969* manual:
3970
3971  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
3972
3973  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
3974    (change taken from 1.0).
3975
3976* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
3977
3978Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
3979
3980* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
3981
3982* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
3983
3984* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
3985
3986* aven:
3987
3988  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
3989
3990  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
3991    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
3992    seem to be Unicode now).
3993
3994  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
3995    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
3996
3997  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
3998    text on the survey pane:
3999
4000    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
4001
4002    - Character spacing is improved.
4003
4004    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
4005
4006  + "About" dialog:
4007
4008    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
4009      bug reporting.
4010
4011    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
4012      modern gfx card.
4013
4014    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
4015
4016  + Processing .svx files:
4017
4018    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
4019
4020    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
4021      than opening a separate frame for it.
4022
4023    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
4024
4025    - Fix small memory leak.
4026
4027  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
4028    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
4029    such a name.
4030
4031  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
4032
4033  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
4034    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
4035    invocations.
4036
4037  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
4038
4039  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
4040
4041  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
4042
4043* Documentation:
4044
4045  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
4046
4047  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
4048    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
4049    together isn't very useful.
4050
4051  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
4052
4053  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
4054    the FSF website.
4055
4056  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
4057    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
4058    the source code.
4059
4060* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
4061  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
4062
4063* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
4064  package from the source tarball.
4065
4066* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
4067  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
4068
4069Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
4070
4071* aven:
4072
4073  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
4074
4075  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
4076
4077  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
4078    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
4079    names/crosses).
4080
4081Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
4082
4083* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
4084
4085* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
4086
4087* aven:
4088
4089  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
4090
4091  + Fix character spacing.
4092
4093  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
4094    proportional fonts.
4095
4096  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
4097    rather than the filename.
4098
4099  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
4100
4101  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
4102    depth colouring.
4103
4104  + Add "Colour by Error".
4105
4106  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
4107
4108  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
4109
4110  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
4111
4112  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
4113
4114  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
4115
4116  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
4117
4118  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
4119
4120  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
4121    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
4122
4123  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
4124
4125  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
4126    default.
4127
4128* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
4129  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
4130
4131* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
4132  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
4133
4134* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
4135
4136* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
4137
4138Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
4139
4140* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
4141  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
4142  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
4143  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
4144  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
4145
4146* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
4147  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
4148  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
4149
4150* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
4151  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
4152  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
4153
4154* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
4155  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
4156  allowed).
4157
4158* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
4159
4160* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4161
4162* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4163
4164Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
4165
4166* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
4167  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
4168
4169* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
4170  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
4171  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
4172
4173* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
4174  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
4175  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
4176  the new "*data passage" style.
4177
4178* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
4179  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
4180
4181* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
4182  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
4183  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
4184  some cases.
4185
4186* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
4187  with no survey loaded.
4188
4189* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
4190
4191* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
4192  loaded a survey.
4193
4194* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
4195
4196* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
4197
4198* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
4199  doesn't exist.
4200
4201* Updated French and Italian translations.
4202
4203* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
4204  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
4205
4206* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
4207  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
4208  update their copy).
4209
4210* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
4211  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
4212  trying to compile).
4213
4214Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
4215
4216* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
4217  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
4218
4219* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
4220  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
4221  has been disabled.
4222
4223* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
4224  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
4225  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
4226  time.
4227
4228* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
4229  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
4230  highlighted stations.
4231
4232* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
4233
4234* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
4235  the tilt from plan to elevation.
4236
4237* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
4238  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
4239
4240* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
4241  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
4242  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
4243
4244* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
4245  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
4246
4247* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
4248
4249* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
4250
4251* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
4252
4253* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
4254  run by an unprivileged user.
4255
4256* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
4257  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
4258  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
4259
4260* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
4261  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
4262
4263* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
4264
4265* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
4266  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
4267
4268* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
4269  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
4270
4271* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
4272  if it isn't.
4273
4274* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
4275  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
4276
4277* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
4278  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
4279
4280* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
4281  reset to default view as well).
4282
4283* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
4284  empty.
4285
4286* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
4287  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
4288
4289* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
4290  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
4291  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
4292
4293* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
4294  and non-zero width lines.
4295
4296* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
4297  was turned on.
4298
4299* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
4300  not always being fully written.
4301
4302Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
4303
4304* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
4305  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
4306  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
4307  date near the middle of that period).
4308
4309* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
4310  with MS Windows).
4311
4312* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
4313  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
4314  several surveys in the same directory).
4315
4316* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
4317  our check for them to include that knowledge.
4318
4319* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
4320
4321* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
4322  moved off a station.
4323
4324* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
4325  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
4326
4327* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
4328
4329* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
4330  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
4331
4332* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
4333  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
4334  dialogs.
4335
4336* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
4337  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
4338
4339* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
4340  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
4341  introduced in 1.1.6).
4342
4343* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
4344  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
4345  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
4346
4347* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
4348  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
4349
4350* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
4351
4352* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
4353
4354Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
4355
4356* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
4357  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
4358
4359* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
4360  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
4361  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
4362  3d file.
4363
4364* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
4365
4366* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
4367
4368* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
4369  Instead turn off depth colouring.
4370
4371* aven: Export as HPGL added.
4372
4373* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
4374  Martin Green).
4375
4376* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
4377  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
4378  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
4379
4380* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
4381
4382* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
4383  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
4384
4385* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
4386  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
4387  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
4388  of everything else.
4389
4390* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
4391  presentation icons.
4392
4393* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
4394  keyboard focus there.
4395
4396* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
4397
4398* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
4399
4400* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
4401
4402* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
4403
4404* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
4405  language to use for messages.
4406
4407* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
4408  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
4409
4410* Removed old printer drivers.
4411
4412* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
4413  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
4414
4415Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
4416
4417* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
4418
4419* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
4420
4421* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
4422  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
4423
4424* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
4425  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
4426
4427* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
4428
4429* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
4430  underground legs is toggled.
4431
4432* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
4433  attached to the previous data.
4434
4435* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
4436  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
4437  them.
4438
4439Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
4440
4441* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
4442
4443* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
4444  continental European countries).
4445
4446* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
4447  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
4448  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
4449
4450* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
4451
4452* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
4453  they're needed.
4454
4455* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
4456
4457* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
4458
4459* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
4460
4461* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
4462  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
4463  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
4464
4465* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
4466
4467Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
4468
4469* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
4470
4471* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
4472
4473* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
4474
4475* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
4476
4477* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
4478
4479* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
4480
4481* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
4482  when there's a presentation loaded.
4483
4484* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
4485  in cave view.
4486
4487* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
4488
4489* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
4490  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
4491  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
4492
4493* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
4494  filename for file history and window title.
4495
4496* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
4497  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
4498  only needed with GTK1.2.
4499
4500* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
4501
4502* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
4503
4504* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
4505
4506* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
4507
4508Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
4509
4510* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
4511  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
4512  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
4513
4514* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
4515  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
4516
4517* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
4518  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
4519  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
4520  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
4521
4522* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
4523
4524* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
4525  with --help and --version.
4526
4527* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
4528  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
4529  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
4530  Fixed all these problems.
4531
4532* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
4533  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
4534  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
4535
4536* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
4537  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
4538  sources.
4539
4540* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
4541
4542* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
4543
4544* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
4545  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
4546
4547* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
4548  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
4549  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
4550  animating.
4551
4552* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
4553
4554* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
4555
4556* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
4557  to this branch.
4558
4559* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
4560
4561  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
4562
4563  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
4564
4565  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
4566
4567* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
4568
4569* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
4570  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
4571
4572* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
4573
4574* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
4575  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
4576
4577* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
4578
4579* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
4580  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
4581  for anyone building from CVS).
4582
4583* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
4584
4585* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
4586
4587* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
4588
4589* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
4590
4591* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
4592  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
4593  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
4594
4595* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
4596  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
4597
4598* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
4599
4600* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
4601  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
4602  loaded).
4603
4604* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
4605
4606Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
4607
4608* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
4609  startup.
4610
4611* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
4612  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
4613
4614Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
4615
4616* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
4617  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
4618  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
4619
4620* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
4621  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
4622  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
4623
4624* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
4625  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
4626  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
4627
4628* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
4629
4630* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
4631  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
4632
4633* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
4634  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
4635
4636* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
4637  better use of screen space.
4638
4639* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
4640
4641* aven: Perspective view.
4642
4643* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
4644
4645* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
4646  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
4647
4648* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
4649  and load/save/run them.
4650
4651* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
4652
4653* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
4654
4655* aven: Depth fogging option.
4656
4657* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
4658
4659* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
4660
4661* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
4662  showing the surface legs.
4663
4664* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
