1Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
2
3* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
4  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
5  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
6
7* aven:
8
9  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
10    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
11    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
12
13  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
14    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
15    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
16    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
17
18  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
19    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
20    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
21
22  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
23
24Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
25
26* aven:
27
28  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
29
30  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
31    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
32    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
33
34  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
35    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
36    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
37    orientation.
38
39* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
40  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
41  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
42  Richard Knapp.
43
44* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
45  might still need to use them for.
46
47* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
48
49* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
50
51* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
52  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
53  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
54  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
55
56* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
57  is now the recommended approach.
58
59Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
60
61* aven:
62
63  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
64    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
65    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
66    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
67    Brian Clipstone.
68
69  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
70    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
71
72Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
73
74* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
75  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
76  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
77
78* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
79  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
80  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
81  with some compilers.
82
83* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
84  installed.
85
86Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
87
88* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
89  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
90  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
91
92* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
93  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
94  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
95
96* aven:
97
98  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
99    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
100    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
101    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
102    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
103    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
104    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
105    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
106    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
107    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
108    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
109
110  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
111
112* Documentation:
113
114  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
115
116  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
117    placeholder.
118
119  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
120    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
121
122* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
123  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
124  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
125
126* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
127  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
128  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
129  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
130  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
131  location to avoid confusion.
132
133* Add a few more message translations.
134
135* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
136
137Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
138
139* cavern:
140
141  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
142    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
143    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
144    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
145    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
146
147  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
148    now reports "file not found" instead.
149
150  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
151    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
152    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
153
154* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
155
156* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
157  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
158  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
159  removed.
160
161* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
162  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
163  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
164  information.  Patch from James Begley.
165
166Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
167
168* aven:
169
170  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
171    controllable.
172
173  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
174
175  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
176    Patch from Robert Jones.
177
178  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
179    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
180    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
181
182  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
183    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
184
185* cavern:
186
187  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
188    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
189
190  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
191    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
192    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
193    go unnoticed.
194
195* survexport:
196
197  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
198    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
199    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
200
201  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
202    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
203    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
204    Stephen Crabtree.
205
206* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
207
208* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
209  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
210
211* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
212  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
213  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
214  therion's team command.
215
216Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
217
218* aven:
219
220  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
221
222  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
223    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
224    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
225    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
226    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
227    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
228    for new entrances.
229
230  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
231    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
232    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
233    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
234
235  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
236
237  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
238    to show via the right-click menu.
239
240  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
241    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
242    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
243    child surveys of the parent.
244
245  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
246    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
247    survey.
248
249  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
250    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
251
252  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
253
254  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
255    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
256
257  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
258    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
259    filtering this matters more).
260
261* survexport:
262
263  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
264    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
265
266  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
267
268* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
269
270* Minor translation updates.
271
272* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
273
274* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
275
276* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
277
278Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
279
280* aven:
281
282  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
283    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
284    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
285    on screen, printed and exported.
286
287  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
288    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
289    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
290    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
291    survey.
292
293  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
294    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
295    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
296    view.  Reported by Wookey.
297
298  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
299    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
300    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
301
302  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
303    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
304
305  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
306    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
307
308  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
309    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
310
311  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
312    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
313
314  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
315    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
316
317* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
318  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
319  tools could do, plus much more.
320
321* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
322
323* Minor updates to various other translations.
324
325* img library:
326
327  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
328
329  + Improve API documentation.
330
331* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
332  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
333  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
334
335* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
336  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
337  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
338  control what gets exported.
339
340Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
341
342* aven:
343
344  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
345    of 1.2.33.
346
347  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
348
349Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
350
351* aven:
352
353  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
354    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
355    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
356    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
357
358  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
359    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
360    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
361    Erin Lynch.
362
363  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
364    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
365    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
366
367  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
368    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
369    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
370    unnecessarily.
371
372  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
373    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
374    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
375    for this control).
376
377  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
378    under GTK3.
379
380  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
381    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
382    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
383
384  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
385    current development version).
386
387  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
388    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
389    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
390
391* cavern:
392
393  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
394    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
395    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
396    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
397    "19".
398
399* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
400  Evaristo Quiroga.
401
402* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
403
404* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
405  milosch.
406
407* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
408  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
409  translated messages.
410
411* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
412  Indonesian and Polish.
413
414* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
415  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
416  Reported by Martin Sluka.
417
418* Fix a few compiler warnings.
419
420* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
421  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
422  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
423
424* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
425
426  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
427    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
428    but happens to fail if it isn't.
429
430  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
431
432  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
433
434  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
435
436* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
437  detected at run time on macOS.
438
439* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
440  by the homebrew formula.
441
442* buildmacosx.sh:
443
444  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
445    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
446
447  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
448
449* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
450  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
451
452Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
453
454* aven:
455
456  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
457    and Anthony Day.
458
459  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
460    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
461    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
462    Erin Lynch in #89.
463
464  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
465    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
466    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
467    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
468    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
469    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
470    elevations.
471
472  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
473    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
474    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
475
476  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
477    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
478    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
479    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
480    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
481    "on".
482
483  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
484    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
485
486  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
487    the display wouldn't update right away.
488
489* Manual:
490
491  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
492
493  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
494
495* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
496  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
497  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
498  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
499  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.

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