1Changes in 1.4.15 (2024-12-24):
2
3* aven: Avoid infinite redraw loop if GDAL gives an error loading geodata to
4  overlay.
5
6* aven: Turn off full-screen mode bodges when running on macOS 10.7 or later.
7  Fixes #110
8
9* aven/survexport: (Microsoft Windows version): Enable GDAL support so you
10  can now overlay geodata (in aven) and export shapefiles.
11
12* cavern: Remove now-bogus assertion which can fire when there's a survey not
13  connected to any fixed points (since 1.4.10 made unconnected data a warning
14  instead of an error).  Reported by Philip Balister.
15
16* (Microsoft Windows version): Strip debug data from .exe and .dll files which
17  reduces the installer size by around 5%.
18
19* Testsuite: Normalise -0.00 in DXF bounds too to avoid possible test failures
20  on x86.
21
22Changes in 1.4.14 (2024-12-11):
23
24* aven/survexport: Add support for exporting shapefiles.  This requires GDAL so
25  currently isn't enabled in the Microsoft Windows build.  Thanks to Eric C.
26  Landgraf for testing.  Fixes #87.
27
28* cavern: If *date with just year is followed by a blank, cavern expects a date
29  range and gives an error if another date doesn't follow.  Bug was introduced
30  in 1.4.13.
31
32* aven/cavern: Use ′ and ″ for feet and inches.
33
34* Documentation: Add some details on how to handle Toporobot "serie" station
35  naming.
36
37* Updates to Bulgarian, Hungarian, Russian and Slovak translations.
38
39* Testsuite: Adjust lollipop testcase to pass on i386 where excess precision
40  was changing which station was reported as the southernmost of multiple
41  candidate stations).
42
43Changes in 1.4.13 (2024-12-01):
44
45* aven:
46
47  + Don't show crosses on anonymous stations since they just clutter up the
48    display (especially for anonymous splays).  Suggested by Andrew Atkinson.
49
50  + Fix 1.4.10 regression in plotting of station names.  Each anonymous station
51    was blocking out a small rectangle which no actual station name could
52    overlap.  Reported by Špela Borko.
53
54  + Reduced start-up time by only initialising GDAL if we have overlays to
55    show.
56
57  + (Microsoft Windows version): Avoid recurring "GDAL support not enabled in
58    this build" message box.  This message is now only shown once if you try to
59    add an overlay.  Reported by Špela Borko.
60
61* cavern:
62
63  + Update to use v14 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
64    This was issued in November 2024 and should give slightly more accurate
65    declinations for surveys made since 2015.  Fixes #137.
66
67  + The component count was wrong in some cases, and we calculate the number
68    of loops using this component count, so the loop count would also be wrong
69    by the same amount in these cases.
70
71  + The component count and loop count are now reported when there are
72    unconnected survey stations.
73
74  + *date now supports ISO format dates.  Fixes #96, reported by Milosch.
75
76  + *date now supports date types "surveyed" and "explored" (existing usage
77    without an explicit type is interpreted as "surveyed").
78
79  + If the output directory isn't writable or doesn't exist we would complain
80    that we can't create the .err file - now we try to create the .3d file
81    first so complain about that instead which seems more helpful.  Reported by
82    Eric C. Landgraf.
83
84  + When inventing a fixed point we now avoid picking a fixed point which is
85    only attached to nosurvey legs if there's another option.  The code was
86    already meant to do this but it was buggy and we lacked a testcase for this
87    situation.
88
89  + Survey network reduction now finds some delta-star opportunities which were
90    being overlooked.  This allows more complicated networks to be reduced
91    further so fewer and/or smaller matrices need solving, which is faster.
92
93  + Survey network reduction now handles a "lollipop" with a fixed stick end
94    specially which is a little bit faster.  A more visible consequence is
95    fewer "Solving one equation..." messages when solving a complex survey
96    network.
97
98  + Survey network reduction now makes use of articulating legs to split up the
99    problem a little more, so we will often now solve more but smaller matrices
100    which should be faster.
101
102  + Assigning matrix row numbers now identifies equated stations in a slightly
103    more efficient way.
104
105* dump3d: Provide a way to get ISO format dates output.
106
107* Documentation:
108
109  + Improve documentation of *date in the manual.  When a partial date is
110    specified (just a year, or a year and month only) the documentation claimed
111    the centre of that year or month is used but actually this case is treated
112    as a date range covering the whole year or month (respectively).  The end
113    result is effectively the same as what was previously documented though
114    since the centre of a date range is used as the date for calculating
115    automatic declinations and is the date used by aven.
116
117* Test suite:
118
119  + Adjust hpglexport testcase to avoid i386 excess precision causing one of
120    the HPGL coordinates to differ by one from its value calculated without
121    excess precision.
122
123* Assorted translation updates.
124
125Changes in 1.4.12 (2024-10-23):
126
127* aven:
128
129  + (Microsoft Windows version): Geodata overlays are (hopefully temporarily)
130    no longer available in the pre-built version of Survex installed by the
131    Microsoft Windows installer.  We use the GDAL library to load them and
132    there's a hard to debug problem during DLL initialisation somewhere in its
133    dependency tree.  If you really need geodata overlays, the 1.4.9 installer
134    still works.  Thanks to Wookey for extensive testing to investigate the
135    problem, and to everyone else who reported this.
136
137* cavern:
138
139  + A leg with the same station as from and to is now only a warning in
140    Compass data.  Compass itself seems to quietly ignore such legs, but
141    they seem worth warning about.  In native Survex data this is still
142    an error.
143
144  + Short survey and station names are now stored without an extra memory
145    allocation.  On a 64-bit platform (most modern computers) we can store
146    name components up to 7 characters in this way; on a 32-bit platform
147    up to 3 characters.  On a large dataset which needs large matrices
148    solving this reduces cavern's memory usage by 3.5MB (~4.5%).  It's
149    also fractionally faster (but only ~0.05% which is not normally even
150    measurable).
151
152  + Assigning matrix row numbers to stations is now faster and allocates
153    less memory.
154
155* (Microsoft Windows version): The Microsoft Windows installer is now
156  named `survex-microsoft-windows-1.4.12.exe`.  The old name was
157  `survex-win32-1.4.11.exe` but the "win32" is now misleading as it's been a
158  64-bit build since 1.4.9.  Reported by Wookey.
159
160* Testsuite:
161
162  + dump3d.tst: Add tests of img library's survey filtering.
163
164  + cavern.tst: Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in JSON test output before
165    comparing with expected output.  We can get -0.00 on x86 due to excess
166    precision.
167
168* img library:
169
170  + Survey filtering now works correctly for files which use a survey level
171    separator other than `.`.  Patch https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/14
172    from Thomas Holder.
173
174  + Reading a v7 or earlier .3d format extended elevation with survey filtering
175    was failing to set is_extended_elevation.
176
177Changes in 1.4.11 (2024-08-14):
178
179* aven:
180
181  + Add imperial scales for export and printing.  Fixes #132, reported by Eric
182    C. Landgraf.
183
184* aven/survexport:
185
186  + HPGL export now uses pen 2 for splays and pen 3 for surface legs.  Partly
187    addresses #60.
188
189  + HPGL export now supports scaling (previous the scale was always
190    1:40000).
191
192  + KML export now distinguishes surface legs and splays using different
193    line styles.  Partly addresses #60.
194
195  + Remove Skencil export support.  The last release of Skencil was in 2005.
196    There was an attempt to revive the project in 2010, but that didn't lead to
197    another release and seems to have petered out.  No current Linux distro (or
198    other package system) seems to have Skencil packages, and the current git
199    version still appears to require Python 2 which is being phased out.
200
201* cavern:
202
203  + Support `*data ignore` to allow ignoring a block of survey data lines.
204    Closes #114, reported by Alastair Gott.
205
206  + Report error for bad final reading in `*data` command (previously such a
207    bad reading was quietly ignored).
208
209  + If the survey in `*end` doesn't match that in `*begin` the location of
210    that `*begin` is now reported as well - the second message here is new
211    for example:
212
213     badbegin.svx:6:8: error: Survey name doesn't match BEGIN
214      *end   bar
215             ^~~
216     badbegin.svx:4:13: info: Corresponding BEGIN was here
217      *begin      foo
218                  ^~~
219
220  + Now shows a context line for a reading which was on the previous line,
221    which can happen for interleaved data styles.
222
223  + Warn when a token is not followed by a blank, comment or end of line.
224    This is an unintentional tokenisation oddity which has been present
225    for a really long time.  We don't want to break files that rely on this
226    (even if they likely only do accidentally) so emit a warning rather than
227    an error.
228
229    This warning can easily be eliminated by adding a space where indicated,
230    which will work with old and new Survex versions.  Fixes #135.
231
232  + Errors and warnings which report an unexpected token now report a
233    contiguous span of letters and numbers rather than just letters in cases
234    where a number can't follow (which is the majority of cases).
235
236  + If `*require` isn't satisfied, the `*require` line is now shown for
237    context (especially helpful if there's a comment after the command noting
238    the reason for the requirement, as we now suggest in the manual).
239
240  + `*require` version parsing improved - spaces are no longer tolerated in
241    a version number and trailing junk after the version number is now
242    handled more consistently.
243
244  + Fixed several situations in which the highlighting of the context for a
245    diagnostic was off by a small number of columns.
246
247  + Optimise building of matrix during network solving.
248
249  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files:
250
251    - After reporting an error for an unsupported datum, we now set the datum
252      to WGS84 to prevent triggering further errors from code which tries to
253      use the datum.
254
255    - Parse Walls WPJ commands as alphanumeric rather than alphabetic tokens,
256      which better matches how Walls parses them.  This only makes a difference
257      in the error message when we don't recognise a WPJ command.
258
259* Documentation:
260
261  + Note `feet` are international feet and how to select a different
262    definition in `*units` docs.
263
264  + Document `grads` are also known as "neugrads" and "gons" in `*units` docs.
265
266* Assorted translation updates.
267
268* testsuite:
269
270  + Fix bug in normalisation of `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before
271    comparing with expected output.
272
273* Update and improve vim syntax highlighting:
274
275  + `*cartesian` added
276
277  + `*data ignore` added
278
279  + `mils` units now highlighted as deprecated
280
281  + `UP` and `DOWN` are no longer highlighted anywhere in a command
282
283  + `U`, `D`, `LEVEL`, `-V`, `+V`, `.`, `..` and `...` now highlighted in data
284    lines
285
286  + Repeated `NOT` in `*flags` is now highlighted as an error
287
288  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to not flag an error just
289    because there's a comment after the filename
290
291  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to work when there's
292    whitespace between `*` and `include`
293
294Changes in 1.4.10 (2024-08-05):
295
296* aven:
297
298  + Use a fixed rotation rate for rotating the view to North, South, East or
299    West (shortcut keys `N`, `S`, `E` and `W`).  We were using the same
300    variable rate which auto-rotation does for this case, but really these are
301    just animations to help the user see the change that's happening, so a
302    fixed rate makes more sense (and is what tilting to plan or elevation
303    does).  The new fixed rotation rate for this is double what the default
304    variable rate was, which means the longest rotation (e.g. from S to N)
305    takes 3 seconds rather than 6.
306
307* aven/survexport:
308
309  + Fix syntax of shot flags in PLT export (incorrect since introduced in
310    1.4.6).
311
312  + Map Survex duplicate flag to `L` shot flag in PLT export.
313
314  + Invent shorter names for anonymous stations in PLT export.  The PLT file
315    format documentation says station names can be up to 12 characters, but the
316    ones we generated were longer than this which is liable to trip up
317    consumers of this format that only allow for the specified length.
318    We now generate names using a sequential counter with a two character
319    prefix so they should fit in the 12 character limit for any cave
320    survey.
321
322  + 3D export now includes all leg and station flags.
323
324* cavern:
325
326  + Unconnected survey stations are now handled as a warning, whereas
327    previously this was an error.  This is necessary when processing Walls data
328    where it seems having hanging surveys is the norm, and Walls itself only
329    warns about them.
330
331    The support is also enabled for native Survex data since it allows viewing
332    the connected parts of a survey with missing connections without having to
333    comment out the unconnected parts (and then remember to fully uncomment
334    once connections are surveyed).  Fixes #16, reported by Duncan Collis.
335
336    Currently the component count and loop count are not shown in this case.
337
338  + Avoid multiple reports of an unconnected survey station.  This could happen
339    in some cases where a group of equated stations had more than four legs
340    connected to it.
341
342  + Fix missing report of unconnected survey station.  We aim to report at
343    least one station in every unconnected piece of survey, but if a piece had
344    been simplified to a single station which was anonymous (e.g. a disto splay
345    shot) then we wouldn't report anything for that piece.  Now we find the
346    traverse that was attached to it and report the next station along that
347    traverse.
348
349  + Report file and line location each unconnected survey station.
350
351  + This warning now says either `*entrance` or `*export` depending on which
352    it actually was:
353
354      Station "bar.1" referred to by *entrance or *export but never used
355
356  + Fix several cases of mishandling comments without blanks before them:
357
358    - After an anonymous station.
359
360    - After an ignored reading.  The `ignore` would incorrectly also skip the
361      comment character and any characters which followed up to the next blank
362      or end of line.
363
364    - In a `*alias` command.
365
366    - Diagnostic highlighting could continue into a comment.
367
368  + New `*cartesian` command which supports different orientations of
369    `cartesian` style data.
370
371  + Anonymous stations are now supported in `cartesian` style data.
372
373  + `*fix a reference` (without any coordinates) is now an error.  The
374    `reference` token provides a way to have a list of known fixed points which
375    are not expected to all be currently used, while omitting the coordinates
376    provides a way to specify a point to arbitrarily fix rather than rely on
377    cavern picking one.  Allowing both together doesn't really make sense.
378
379  + Improve check for 180° backclino to suppress the warning about a compass
380    reading on a plumbed leg (introduced in 1.4.8) to allow a small tolerance
381    on the value.  Previously the check wasn't working on x86 Linux for
382    example.
383
384  + When showing a line as the location of a diagnostic we now render any
385    tab character as a single space which means the `^~~~~` highlight length
386    is now correct even when the highlighted part contains tabs.  This only
387    affects use from a terminal as the highlight was already correctly handled
388    when viewing the log in aven.
389
390  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files (thanks to Eric
391    C. Landgraf and Joe for a lot of great feedback from testing with large
392    datasets):
393
394    - The `RECT=` option is now fully supported.
395
396    - Fix `#DATE` with an active `.REF` to act like `DECL=`.  This matches what
397      the documentation says and what Walls seems to actually do.
398
399    - Allow completely omitting the clino on a wall shot (with `ORDER=DAV` or
400      `ORDER=ADV`).
401
402    - Resolve WPJ `.PATH` relative to innermost containing book.
403
404    - Handle an empty Walls station name.  Walls allows a station with an
405      explicit prefix to have an empty name, e.g. `PEP:`.  The Walls
406      documentation doesn't mention this, though it also doesn't explicitly say
407      the name can't be empty.  This quirk seems unlikely to be intentionally
408      used and Survex doesn't allow an empty station name, so we issue a
409      warning and use the name `empty name` (which has a space in, so can't
410      collide with a real Walls station name which can't contain a space) - so
411      `PEP:` in Walls becomes `PEP.empty name` in Survex.
412
413    - Flag stations with explicit Walls prefix as exported.
414
415    - Fix setting empty Walls macro with a comment right after it.
416
417    - Walls quietly ignores junk after the numeric argument in `TYPEAB=`,
418      `TYPEVB=`, `UV=`, `UVH=`, and `UVV=`.  This seems to be an undocumented
419      feature/bug so Survex emits a warning and skips the junk.
420
421    - After an unknown Walls option we now process the rest of the line.
422      Previously we were skipping the rest of the line.
423
424    - We no longer skip the rest of the line after a bad Walls `ORDER=` option.
425
426    - Correct the reported column for some Walls option diagnostics.
427
428    - Support explicit units on Walls clino readings.
429
430    - Allow `#` in Walls station names.  This is explicitly documented as not
431      allowed, but the documentation doesn't match the implementation and `#`
432      is present in some real-world data.
433
434    - Improve handling of Walls `RESTORE` error.  Highlight the position in the
435      line and don't skip the rest of the line.
436
437    - Don't warn about `INCH=` with a zero argument since that's the one case
438      of it we do handle!
439
440    - Fix not to skip the rest of the line after Walls `INCH=` option.
441      We currently don't support `INCH=` so we warn about it, but we were
442      skipping the rest of the line, then trying to read and discard the
443      argument to `INCH=` which gave an error.
444
445    - Relax handling of Walls `CASE=`.  It's not documented, but Walls32.exe
446      quietly treats unknown values as "Mixed".
447
448    - Support DM and DMS format for latitude and longitude in Walls `#FIX`,
449      e.g. `W97:43.875` and `W97:43:52.5` .
450
451    - Treat a zero length leg with finite variance like a Survex `*equate`.
452
453    - Apply Walls variance overrides to survey legs.
454
455    - The optional instrument and target heights are now parsed, but their
456      values are currently ignored.
457
458    - The delimiters around LRUD data are now parsed, but the LRUD data between
459      them is currently ignored.
460
461    - If a `#SEGMENT` value looks like a set of Compass shot flags (i.e.
462      consists only of upper case characters from `CLPSX`, optionally prefixed
463      with a `/` or `\`) then we interpret them as Compass shot flags (except
464      that `X` is mapped the same way as `L`).  This is apparently a common way
465      to use `#SEGMENT`, and unlikely to be triggered accidentally.
466
467    - Avoid a doubled directory separator when building Walls path names.
468
469* documentation:
470
471  + The manual has been converted from DocBook to reStructured Text.  The
472    plain-text format is much easier for making changes, and for users the
473    output from sphinx looks nicer and has extra features (like built-in
474    "Quick search" in the HTML output).
475
476    The plain text version of the manual is no longer generated.  Sphinx can
477    produce one but the .rst sources actually seem more readable for anyone
478    wanting to read the manual in plain text.
479
480    The extra targets to generate the manual in RTF and PostScript
481    have been dropped as I doubt they are still used (we stopped
482    providing them on the website years ago).  They could probably be
483    reinstated if there's a demand for them.
484
485    The conversion was partly automated followed by a full pass over the
486    result fixing issues with the automated conversion.  We took the
487    opportunity to also review the content and update or remove out of
488    date and other incorrect information, and to reorder some of the content.
489
490  + Document all the statistics in the `.err` file
491
492  + Document PLT export.
493
494  + Minor improvements to --help output
495
496  + The HTML version of the 1.4.9 manual was missing the Walls chapter
497    and had messed up paging links around it (due to the new CMAP chapter
498    accidentally also being given the filename `walls.htm`).  Reported by Eric
499    C. Landgraf.
500
501  + Document we don't enforce Walls' station or prefix length limits.
502
503  + Document handling of Walls `#NOTE`.
504
505  + Fix documentation of Walls `FLAG=` which is correctly handled, not skipped.
506
507  + Document how to compare Walls and Survex output via Shapefile.
508
509  + Document how to suppress unused fixed point warning in Walls SRV.
510
511* testsuite:
512
513  + Add testcase for Walls `#units order=da`.
514
515  + Add expected output for more testcases
516
517  + Add testcase for exporting .3d files.
518
519  + Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before comparing to avoid bogus
520    test failures due to excess precision on x86 when using 387 FP
521    instructions.
522
523  + Add test of DXF export with full coordinates.
524
525* translations:
526
527  + Diagnostics can now use positional arguments which sometimes allows a
528    more natural word order in a translated message.
529
530Changes in 1.4.9 (2024-07-04):
531
532* aven:
533
534  + Support showing geodata overlays in Aven.  We use the GDAL library to load
535    the data, so this should work for any format which GDAL supports so long as
536    it can be read from the filing system and is geo-referenced vector data -
537    see https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html for a list.  Currently the
538    dialog to select a file defaults to showing GPX, KML, GeoJSON and shape
539    files - set the filter to "All Files" to chose other formats.
540
541  + Reimplement display of cavern output.  The old version turned the log into
542    HTML and displayed it using wxHtmlWindow, but that adds a lot of overhead
543    and is especially inefficient if there are many diagnostics - cavern could
544    finish almost instantly yet aven could take many seconds to process the
545    output.  The new version renders directly from the log data.  It should
546    have most of the features from before - the only missing feature I'm
547    currently aware of is that you can't now select and copy text from the log
548    window, which wxHtmlWindow provided for free.  If people miss this feature,
549    we could add it to the new implementation.
550
551  + (Microsoft Windows version): Clicks in the cavern log window which load
552    files into an editor now protect the filename if it starts with a dash
553    to prevent it being interpreted as a command line option.  We already
554    do this for other platforms, but weren't on Microsoft Windows on the
555    assumption that it isn't needed because the filenames will be fully
556    qualified, but that may not be the case if aven if run by hand from the
557    command line or from some other launcher.
558
559* cavern:
560
561  + Add support for processing Walls format survey data (.SRV and .WPJ files).
562    This support is somewhat experimental but at a point where it seems useful
563    to make it easier for people to try out.  See the manual for a list of
564    known shortcomings.  Thanks to Eric C. Landgraf for a lot of testing and
565    encouragement.
566
567  + Fix bug with Compass DAT diving data.  If a survey uses the depth gauge
568    then since 1.4.6 we set its style to "diving", but we weren't clearing that
569    so all surveys after that in the same DAT file were also set as "diving".
570
571  + When parsing of Compass DAT files we report errors in more cases if the
572    input doesn't conform to the format we expect, rather than potentially
573    quietly misinterpreting the data.
574
575  + *entrance now suppresses "Unused fixed point" warning.  This warning is
576    intended to catch typos, which is much less likely for a station named
577    twice.  It's also reasonable to use only *fix and *entrance on a station at
578    the entrance of an unsurveyed cave.
579
580  + Highlight plumbed clino readings fully in diagnostics.  Now the full reading
581    is highlighted instead of just the first character.
582
583  + Report location of previous fix after "already fixed" error/warning.
584
585  + Use "info" diagnostic category for "Originally entered here" message.  This
586    is more logical as the original *begin isn't something to be warned about,
587    only the reentering is.  This was only a warning before because we didn't
588    used to have "info" diagnostics.
589
590  + Use "info" diagnostic category for message about not reporting further
591    uses of a deprecated feature.  Previously this was a warning, but the newer
592    "info" category is more appropriate here.
593
594  + The message about inventing a fixed point is now an "info" diagnostic which
595    allows us to report a location which is where that station is defined,
596    which may be useful to the user.
597
598  + Make highlighting position in error reporting more robust.  We no longer
599    try to highIight if we calculate a negative column offset, when previously
600    we would print billions of spaces.  As far as I know this has never
601    happened in a released version.
602
603  + Error messages which report the program name now remove any ".exe" suffix.
604    This helps the testsuite by making the expected output the same
605    cross-platform, but also seems slightly nicer for users.
606
607* dump3d:
608
609  + The timestamp reported by DATE_NUMERIC is now printed portably.  Previously
610    we were assuming that a time_t is the same size as a long int, which is not
611    true on all platforms.
612
613* manual:
614
615  + (Microsoft Windows version): Update information about installation
616    with/without admin rights.
617
618  + Summarise support for reading CMAP data and its assumptions and
619    limitations.
620
621  + Mention Compass, Walls and CMAP support in the importing data howto
622    section.
623
624  + Drop mention of Rosetta Stal from the manual.  The referred to link from
625    our website was removed in 2015 because Rosetta Stal hadn't been updated
626    for 13.5 years at that point.  Now the domain it was available from has
627    lapsed and is a domain squatter "for sale" page.
628
629* img library:
630
631  + The coordinates in CMAP data are in feet but we were dividing rather
632    than multiplying by the conversion factor to get metres so all
633    coordinates were about 10.76 times too large.
634
635  + Stations in CMAP "station" variant XYZ files are now flagged as
636    underground (as they always have been for "shot" variant XYZ files).
637
638  + When reading CMAP XYZ files, we no longer emit duplicate img_LABEL for
639    stations in loops.
640
641  + A CMAP XYZ file without a survey title is now handled correctly (this was
642    reporting a bogus "Out of memory" error).
643
644  + The img.h header now defines constants IMG_VERSION_SURVEX_POS, etc for the
645    values reported in the version field for non-.3d formats.
646
647  + (Microsoft Windows version): Workaround limitation of Microsoft's C
648    library so we handle dates before 1970 in Compass PLT files, CMAP XYZ
649    files, and older format .3d files.  Previously these were reported
650    as "unknown date".
651
652* We now support overriding the location of support files by setting the
653  SURVEXLIB environment variable.  We no longer look at the srcdir
654  environment variable for this.
655
656* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created automatically
657  on Github actions, which has required a few changes.  It now packages a
658  64-bit build, and is created with Innosetup 6.3.2 which no longer supports
659  Vista.  The installer is also now significantly larger, which is mostly
660  because we now need to include a large number of DLLs, most of which are
661  dependencies of the mingw64 FFmpeg and GDAL packages.
662
663* (Microsoft Windows version): If the directory where we expect the PROJ
664  support files to be does not exist for some reason we now avoid triggering
665  a segmentation fault in PROJ.
666
667* Build system:
668
669  + The GDAL library is now required to build Survex.
670
671  + (Microsoft Windows version): The probe for GL and GLU libraries now also
672    checks for Microsoft's non-standard library names.
673
674  + Correct configure --help output for --enable-werror for which the default
675    is actually "no" rather than "maintainer-mode".
676
677* testsuite:
678
679  + aven.tst: Skip a testcase when running on mingw as it seems to hang there.
680    We already skip this testcase on macos for what appears to be the same
681    problem.
682
683  + Fix comparison of output to work on platforms using DOS line endings.
684
685Changes in 1.4.8 (2024-04-23):
686
687* cavern:
688
689  + The warning for a compass reading on a plumbed leg was already suppressed
690    for a compass or backcompass reading of 0, but is now also suppressed for a
691    backcompass of 180° (or equivalent) which seems to be common in some Compass
692    datasets, but also seems sensible generally.  Thanks to Simeon Warner for
693    sharing some data which triggered such warnings.
694
695  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name is now also
696    emitted in the case where a name was used first for a station, and then as
697    a survey on an explicitly prefixed name.  Closes
698    https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4, reported by Thomas Holder.
699
700  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name now highlights
701    the problematic name within the line shown for context.
702
703  + Fix the reported token string reported by some errors with readings.  This
704    happened to work on at least x86-64 Linux, but the code was invalid and
705    failed on some architectures.
706
707* Fix to build with newer FFmpeg versions.
708
709* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now offers the choice to install
710  for just the current user, which allows installing Survex without admin
711  rights.
712
713* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix problems with valid coordinate systems being
714  rejected and aven's cavern log window not showing output.  Reported by
715  Peter Mašič, Špela Borko, Răzvan Dumbravă and detrito.  Thanks especially to
716  Špela Borko for a lot of testing to help track down the cause.
717
718Changes in 1.4.7 (2024-04-07):
719
720* cavern:
721
722  + When using *declination auto we report the range of calculated declinations
723    for each location specified.  After doing this we now reset the range
724    information we're tracking.  Previously we'd misreport the range for
725    the second and subsequent locations.
726
727  + Avoid undefined behaviour on handling filename fallback for filenames
728    containing non-ASCII characters.
729
730  + Show context line with relevant item highlighted for more errors and
731    warnings.
732
733  + The dynamic string handling routines are now more efficient.
734
735  + Fix memory leak if a Compass MAK file opens folders it doesn't close.
736
737  + Fix handling of clino-less legs in Compass DAT.  These would cause cavern
738    to fail with a lot of "NaN" messages.  Now they're treated as having a zero
739    clino with a standard deviation based on the leg length, just like in .svx
740    files.
741
742* img library:
743
744  + Compass PLT: Treat LRUD readings > 900 as omitted readings, which matches
745    what Compass does.  Thanks to Larry Fish for clarifying this.
746
747  + Avoid undefined behaviour after realloc().  We were adjusting a pointer
748    within the reallocated block by subtracting the old block address and
749    adding on the new one.  Technically this is undefined behaviour, although
750    in practice it seems likely it'll work and we've not seen misbehaviour due
751    to it.  However it's easy to avoid by calculating the offset before the
752    realloc().
753
754* Portability:
755
756  + Provide prototype for getopt() to avoid warnings with very recent compiler
757    versions.
758
759  + Avoid using sprintf(), which now triggers warnings on some platforms.
760
761* Build system:
762
763  + Add configure --enable-werror option to turn compiler warnings into errors.
764
765* Manual:
766
767  + Expand details of Compass MAK CRS support.
768
769  + Replace very out of date information about binary RPM packages.
770
771* Minor translation updates.
772
773* (Microsoft Windows version): Now uses PROJ 9.3.0 and ships all of the
774  ancillary files that PROJ comes with.  Hoping this fixes use of coordinate
775  system EPSG:3912 failing, which was reported by Peter Mašič but I've not
776  managed to reproduce.
777
778Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-03-07):
779
780* cavern:
781
782  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
783    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
784    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
785    mailing list.
786
787  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
788    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
789    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
790    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
791
792  + When opening a file, cavern has fallback handling if the file isn't found
793    to help people processing datasets from platforms with case-insensitive
794    file systems.  Previously cavern would fold the filename to lowercase and
795    retry.  Now if this fails, it will also try the lower case version but
796    with the initial character of the leaf in upper case, and finally folding
797    the whole specified filename to upper case.
798
799  + Dynamically pick a suitable level separator character and store it in .3d
800    file, instead of it being hard-coded to '.' (we still use '.' unless it
801    has been *set as a "name" character, or for Compass DAT/MAK files unless it
802    has been used in a station name).  This is a step towards addressing the
803    situations raised by Thomas Holder in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4
804    and https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/5 .
805
806  + Compass DAT files:
807
808    - The shot flag S is now understood to indicate a splay.
809
810    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
811      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
812      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
813      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
814      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
815      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
816
817    - Surveys which indicate a depth gauge was used for azimuth readings are
818      now marked as STYLE_DIVING in the 3d file.
819
820    - Compass and clino corrections are now implemented for backsights.
821
822    - The tape correction in Compass DAT files is now handled correctly.  The
823      specified value is in feet, but cavern was incorrectly treating it as
824      being in metres.
825
826    - We now handle the newer 15 character "FORMAT:" encoding.  Previously
827      cavern wouldn't detect when there were backsights in this case.
828
829    - We now treat survey date January 1st 1901 as "no date specified" since
830      this is the date Compass stores in this situation, and it seems very
831      unlikely to occur in real data.
832
833    - In Compass DAT files a dummy zero-length leg from a station to itself is
834      used to provide a place to specify LRUD for the start or end of a
835      traverse (depending if dimensions are measured at the from or to
836      station), and so we no longer issue a warning about equating a station to
837      itself for DAT files.
838
839  + Compass MAK files:
840
841    - The base location command is now understood.  This is how Compass
842      specifies a location to calculate magnetic declination at, and we
843      now handle this like Survex's native "*declination auto X Y Z".
844
845    - Survex uses the specified UTM zone and datum provided the combination can
846      be expressed as an EPSG code (lack of any EPSG codes for a datum suggests
847      it's obsolete; lack of a code for a particular datum+zone combination
848      suggests the zone is outside of the defined area of use of the datum).
849      Example Compass files we've seen use "North American 1927" outside of
850      where it's defined for use, presumably because some users fail to change
851      the datum from Compass' default.  To enable reading such files we return
852      a PROJ4 string of the form "+proj=utm ..." for "North American 1927" and
853      "North American 1983" for UTM zones which don't have an EPSG code.
854      Please let us know if support for additional cases which aren't currently
855      supported would be useful to you.
856
857    - Folder commands are now understood.
858
859    - Flag fixed stations as entrances.  Experimentation with Compass shows
860      this is how it treats them ("distance from entrance" in a .DAT file
861      counts from 0 at these points).
862
863  + We now support reading Compass CLP files.  These are very like DAT files,
864    except they contain loop-closed data.  You might find this useful if you
865    want to keep existing stations at the same adjusted positions Compass gave
866    (for example to be able to draw extensions on an existing drawn-up survey),
867    or if the original DAT file has been lost but you still have the CLP file.
868
869* aven:
870
871  + Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
872    Philip Balister.
873
874  + Split the filters for DAT and MAK files in the File->Open drop down list.
875    It seems more likely you'd want to see one type or the other, not both
876    together.
877
878* aven/survexport:
879
880  + Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
881
882  + .json,.kml: Enable export of surface legs.  Currently surface and
883    underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats when both
884    are enabled.
885
886  + .3d: The coordinate system is now set.
887
888  + .svg: Equated stations now get their correct names in the id attribute
889    of <circle> tags.  Previously one of the names would be repeated for
890    all of a set of equated stations.
891
892  + .plt:
893
894    - Anonymous stations previously resulted in an empty name in the PLT
895      file.  This isn't explicitly disallowed by the PLT format description,
896      but Compass' viewer gives an error for such lines.  Now we invent names
897      by encoding the station coordinates which should be unique.
898
899    - The S shot flag is now set for splays, and the P shot flag (hide from
900      plotting) is set for surface legs (which matches the use suggested in the
901      Compass docs).
902
903* img library:
904
905  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
906    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
907    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
908    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
909    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
910    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
911    default).
912
913  + Improve Compass PLT support (many of these are Compass features added
914    since Survex's support for Compass was originally added):
915
916    - Survey dates are now handled fully.  We treat survey date January 1st
917      1901 as "no date specified" since this is the date Compass stores in this
918      situation, and it seems very unlikely to occur in real data.
919
920    - LRUD data is now translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END.
921
922    - We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE for stations where the "Distance From
923      Entrance" field is present and zero.
924
925    - The shot flag L is now translated to img_FLAG_DUPLICATE.
926
927    - The shot flag S is now translated to img_FLAG_SPLAY.  A station at the
928      far end of a shot flagged S gets img_SFLAG_WALL set since the Compass PLT
929      format specification says:
930
931          The shot is a "splay" shot, which is a shot from a station to the
932          wall to define the passage shape.
933
934    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
935      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
936      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
937      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
938      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
939      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
940
941    - The d plot command is now supported (previously img failed to parse
942      PLT files using this command) - it's like D but implies the P shot flag.
943
944    - If a PLT file only uses one datum and it is "WGS 1984" then the UTM zone
945      is converted to the appropriate EPSG code and this is reported as the
946      coordinate system.  Other datums could be handled, but the mapping to
947      EPSG code is less simple.  Also it seems Compass supports at least
948      24 datums but it doesn't document all the strings it uses for them.
949      Files with multiple datums could be handled too, but we'd need to convert
950      coordinates to a common coordinate system in the img library, which would
951      need it to depend on PROJ.  Please let us know if support for more and/or
952      mixed datums would be useful to you.
953
954    - Duplicate img_LABEL items are no longer returned - this used to happen
955      for stations where more than two shots met within a single survey.
956
957    - We now infer img_SFLAG_EXPORTED for any station that appears in more
958      than one survey in the PLT file.
959
960    - We now set flag img_SFLAG_FIXED for any station which is listed as
961      a fixed point in the PLT file.
962
963    - If there's only one non-empty section name in a PLT file and we aren't
964      filtering by survey, we now report that section name as the title.  If
965      there are multiple different non-empty section names, we still report the
966      basename of the file as before.  If we're filtering by survey, we report
967      the comment for that survey as before.
968
969    - Fix bug handling PLT with omitted LRUD.  The format specification
970      documents that LRUD may be omitted, though it seems Compass never
971      actually omits it and at least some versions of Compass failed to handle
972      it being omitted too.
973
974* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
975
976* manual:
977
978  + Document Compass support in detail.
979
980  + Improve NATO mils example.
981
982* INSTALL:
983
984  + Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by Andrew
985    Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
986
987  + Document the requirement for a C99 compiler for building from source.
988    We made this a requirement in 1.4.2, but only noted it in NEWS.
989
990* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
991
992* Replace references to "libav" with "FFmpeg" since the libav project seems to
993  now be defunct, and we've always supported using either.
994
995* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros and drop
996  probes for features that we can safely assume now we require a C99 compiler
997  and workarounds for obsolete platforms.
998
999* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
1000
1001Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
1002
1003* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
1004
1005* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
1006  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
1007
1008* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
1009
1010* Minor translation updates.
1011
1012Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
1013
1014* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
1015  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
1016
1017* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
1018  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
1019  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
1020  checks that were rejecting this.
1021
1022  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
1023  really do that's better than that.
1024
1025  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
1026
1027* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
1028  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
1029  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
1030  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
1031  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
1032
1033* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
1034  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
1035
1036* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
1037  bearing spin control.
1038
1039* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
1040  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
1041  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
1042  currently but please report issues.
1043
1044* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
1045  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
1046  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
1047  position".
1048
1049* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
1050  Reported by echarlie
1051
1052* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
1053
1054Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
1055
1056* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
1057
1058* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
1059  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
1060
1061* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
1062  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
1063
1064* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
1065  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
1066
1067* Minor translation updates.
1068
1069* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
1070  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
1071  works on Wayland).
1072
1073* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
1074  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
1075
1076* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
1077
1078* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
1079  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
1080  Requested by Martin Budaj.
1081
1082Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
1083
1084* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
1085
1086* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
1087
1088* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
1089  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
1090
1091* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
1092  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
1093  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
1094  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
1095
1096* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
1097  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
1098  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1099
1100* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
1101  string properly.
1102
1103* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
1104  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
1105  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
1106  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
1107  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
1108  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
1109  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
1110
1111* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
1112  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
1113
1114  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
1115
1116* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
1117  where the included filename is actually specified.
1118
1119* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
1120  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
1121
1122* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
1123  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
1124  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
1125
1126* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
1127  running on the Continuous Integration system.
1128
1129* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
1130  newer version of Innosetup.  This means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the
1131  minimum supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support
1132  anyway.
1133
1134* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
1135  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
1136
1137* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1138
1139* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
1140  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
1141  inconvenience anyone.
1142
1143Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
1144
1145* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
1146
1147* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
1148  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
1149  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
1150  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
1151
1152* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
1153  in 1.4.0.
1154
1155* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
1156
1157Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
1158
1159* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
1160  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
1161  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
1162  Couwenberg.
1163
1164  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
1165  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
1166  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
1167  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
1168
1169  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
1170  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
1171
1172* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
1173  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
1174  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
1175
1176* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
1177  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
1178  strings is strongly discouraged.
1179
1180  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
1181
1182  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
1183
1184  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
1185  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
1186
1187* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
1188  Green.
1189
1190* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
1191  echarlie.
1192
1193* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
1194  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
1195  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
1196
1197* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
1198
1199* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
1200
1201* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
1202
1203* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
1204
1205* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
1206  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
1207  stations not attached to a fixed point.
1208
1209Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
1210
1211* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
1212  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
1213  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
1214  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
1215  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
1216
1217* aven:
1218
1219  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
1220    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
1221    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
1222    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
1223    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
1224    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
1225
1226* testsuite:
1227
1228  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
1229    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
1230    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
1231    process exits.
1232
1233* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
1234
1235Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
1236
1237* aven:
1238
1239  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
1240
1241* cavern:
1242
1243  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
1244
1245  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
1246    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
1247    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
1248
1249  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
1250    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
1251    until the next *data command with parameters.
1252
1253  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
1254    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
1255
1256  * Improve test coverage.
1257
1258* survexport:
1259
1260  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
1261    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
1262
1263  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
1264    Batista.
1265
1266* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
1267  Holder.
1268
1269* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
1270  from Thomas Holder.
1271
1272* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
1273  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
1274
1275* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
1276
1277* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1278
1279* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
1280
1281* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
1282
1283* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
1284
1285Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
1286
1287* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
1288  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
1289  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
1290
1291* aven:
1292
1293  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
1294    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
1295    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
1296
1297  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
1298    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
1299    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
1300    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
1301
1302  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
1303    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
1304    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
1305
1306  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
1307
1308Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
1309
1310* aven:
1311
1312  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
1313
1314  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
1315    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
1316    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
1317
1318  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
1319    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
1320    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
1321    orientation.
1322
1323* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
1324  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
1325  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
1326  Richard Knapp.
1327
1328* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
1329  might still need to use them for.
1330
1331* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
1332
1333* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
1334
1335* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
1336  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
1337  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
1338  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
1339
1340* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
1341  is now the recommended approach.
1342
1343Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
1344
1345* aven:
1346
1347  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1348    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
1349    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
1350    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
1351    Brian Clipstone.
1352
1353  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
1354    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
1355
1356Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
1357
1358* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
1359  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
1360  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
1361
1362* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
1363  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
1364  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
1365  with some compilers.
1366
1367* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
1368  installed.
1369
1370Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
1371
1372* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
1373  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
1374  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
1375
1376* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
1377  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
1378  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
1379
1380* aven:
1381
1382  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
1383    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
1384    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
1385    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
1386    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
1387    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
1388    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
1389    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
1390    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
1391    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
1392    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
1393
1394  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
1395
1396* Documentation:
1397
1398  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
1399
1400  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
1401    placeholder.
1402
1403  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
1404    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
1405
1406* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
1407  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
1408  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
1409
1410* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
1411  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
1412  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
1413  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
1414  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
1415  location to avoid confusion.
1416
1417* Add a few more message translations.
1418
1419* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
1420
1421Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
1422
1423* cavern:
1424
1425  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
1426    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
1427    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
1428    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
1429    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
1430
1431  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
1432    now reports "file not found" instead.
1433
1434  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
1435    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
1436    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
1437
1438* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
1439
1440* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
1441  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
1442  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
1443  removed.
1444
1445* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
1446  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
1447  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
1448  information.  Patch from James Begley.
1449
1450Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
1451
1452* aven:
1453
1454  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
1455    controllable.
1456
1457  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1458
1459  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
1460    Patch from Robert Jones.
1461
1462  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
1463    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
1464    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
1465
1466  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
1467    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
1468
1469* cavern:
1470
1471  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
1472    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
1473
1474  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
1475    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
1476    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
1477    go unnoticed.
1478
1479* survexport:
1480
1481  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
1482    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
1483    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
1484
1485  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
1486    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
1487    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
1488    Stephen Crabtree.
1489
1490* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1491
1492* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
1493  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
1494
1495* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
1496  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
1497  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
1498  therion's team command.
1499
1500Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
1501
1502* aven:
1503
1504  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
1505
1506  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
1507    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
1508    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
1509    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
1510    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
1511    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
1512    for new entrances.
1513
1514  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
1515    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
1516    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
1517    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
1518
1519  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
1520
1521  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
1522    to show via the right-click menu.
1523
1524  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
1525    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
1526    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
1527    child surveys of the parent.
1528
1529  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
1530    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
1531    survey.
1532
1533  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
1534    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
1535
1536  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
1537
1538  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
1539    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
1540
1541  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
1542    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
1543    filtering this matters more).
1544
1545* survexport:
1546
1547  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
1548    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
1549
1550  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
1551
1552* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
1553
1554* Minor translation updates.
1555
1556* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
1557
1558* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
1559
1560* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
1561
1562Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
1563
1564* aven:
1565
1566  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
1567    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
1568    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
1569    on screen, printed and exported.
1570
1571  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
1572    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
1573    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
1574    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
1575    survey.
1576
1577  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
1578    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
1579    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
1580    view.  Reported by Wookey.
1581
1582  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
1583    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
1584    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
1585
1586  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
1587    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
1588
1589  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
1590    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
1591
1592  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
1593    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
1594
1595  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
1596    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
1597
1598  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
1599    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
1600
1601* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
1602  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
1603  tools could do, plus much more.
1604
1605* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
1606
1607* Minor updates to various other translations.
1608
1609* img library:
1610
1611  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
1612
1613  + Improve API documentation.
1614
1615* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
1616  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
1617  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
1618
1619* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
1620  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
1621  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
1622  control what gets exported.
1623
1624Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
1625
1626* aven:
1627
1628  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1629    of 1.2.33.
1630
1631  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
1632
1633Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
1634
1635* aven:
1636
1637  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
1638    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
1639    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
1640    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
1641
1642  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
1643    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
1644    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
1645    Erin Lynch.
1646
1647  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
1648    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
1649    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
1650
1651  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
1652    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
1653    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
1654    unnecessarily.
1655
1656  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
1657    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
1658    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
1659    for this control).
1660
1661  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
1662    under GTK3.
1663
1664  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
1665    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
1666    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
1667
1668  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
1669    current development version).
1670
1671  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
1672    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
1673    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
1674
1675* cavern:
1676
1677  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
1678    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
1679    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
1680    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
1681    "19".
1682
1683* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
1684  Evaristo Quiroga.
1685
1686* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1687
1688* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
1689  milosch.
1690
1691* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
1692  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
1693  translated messages.
1694
1695* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
1696  Indonesian and Polish.
1697
1698* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
1699  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
1700  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1701
1702* Fix a few compiler warnings.
1703
1704* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
1705  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
1706  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
1707
1708* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
1709
1710  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
1711    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
1712    but happens to fail if it isn't.
1713
1714  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
1715
1716  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
1717
1718  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
1719
1720* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
1721  detected at run time on macOS.
1722
1723* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
1724  by the homebrew formula.
1725
1726* buildmacosx.sh:
1727
1728  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
1729    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
1730
1731  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
1732
1733* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
1734  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
1735
1736Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
1737
1738* aven:
1739
1740  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
1741    and Anthony Day.
1742
1743  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
1744    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
1745    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1746    Erin Lynch in #89.
1747
1748  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
1749    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
1750    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
1751    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
1752    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
1753    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
1754    elevations.
1755
1756  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
1757    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
1758    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
1759
1760  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
1761    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
1762    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
1763    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
1764    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
1765    "on".
1766
1767  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
1768    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
1769
1770  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
1771    the display wouldn't update right away.
1772
1773* Manual:
1774
1775  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
1776
1777  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
1778
1779* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
1780  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
1781  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
1782  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
1783  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
1784
1785Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
1786
1787* aven:
1788
1789  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
1790    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
1791    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
1792
1793  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
1794    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
1795    before by others.
1796
1797  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
1798
1799  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
1800    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
1801    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
1802    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
1803    original change.
1804
1805  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
1806    which extends beyond the end of the line).
1807
1808  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
1809    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
1810
1811  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
1812
1813  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
1814
1815  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
1816    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
1817    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
1818    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
1819    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
1820    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
1821    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
1822
1823  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
1824    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
1825
1826  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
1827    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
1828    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
1829
1830  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
1831    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
1832    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
1833    much vertical range.
1834
1835  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
1836    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
1837    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
1838    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
1839    are drawn in this way.
1840
1841  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
1842    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
1843    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
1844    centre should be a single pixel.
1845
1846* cavern:
1847
1848  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
1849    entering passage data where there are side passages.
1850
1851  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
1852    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
1853
1854  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
1855    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
1856    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
1857    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
1858
1859  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
1860    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
1861    Reported by Erin Lynch.
1862
1863  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
1864    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
1865    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
1866    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
1867
1868  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
1869    other messages.
1870
1871* extend:
1872
1873  + Now runs a bit faster.
1874
1875  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
1876    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
1877    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
1878    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
1879    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
1880    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
1881    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
1882    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
1883    be handled better) most welcome.
1884
1885* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
1886
1887* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
1888
1889* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
1890  translations from therion.
1891
1892* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
1893  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
1894
1895* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
1896  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
1897  Footleg.
1898
1899* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
1900
1901* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
1902
1903Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
1904
1905* aven:
1906
1907  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
1908    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1909
1910  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
1911    Suggested by detrito.
1912
1913  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
1914    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
1915
1916  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
1917    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
1918
1919* Add man page for dump3d.
1920
1921Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
1922
1923* aven:
1924
1925  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
1926    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
1927
1928  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
1929    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1930
1931* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
1932  Lynch and "detrito".
1933
1934* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
1935  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
1936
1937Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
1938
1939* cavern:
1940
1941  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
1942    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
1943    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
1944    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
1945    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
1946
1947  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
1948
1949  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
1950
1951  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
1952    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
1953    degrees).
1954
1955* aven:
1956
1957  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
1958    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
1959    Day.
1960
1961  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
1962    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1963
1964  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
1965    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
1966
1967  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
1968    of the line in cavern log window.
1969
1970  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1971
1972  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1973
1974  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
1975    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
1976    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
1977    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
1978    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
1979
1980  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
1981    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
1982    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
1983
1984  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
1985
1986  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
1987
1988  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
1989    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
1990    Atkinson and myself.
1991
1992  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
1993
1994  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
1995    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
1996    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
1997    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
1998    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
1999    survey.
2000
2001  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
2002    lines on my netbook.
2003
2004  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
2005    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
2006    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
2007
2008  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
2009    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
2010    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
2011    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
2012    glitches.
2013
2014  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
2015    we currently list, though slower to write.
2016
2017  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
2018    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
2019
2020  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
2021    warnings when building against a recent version.
2022
2023  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
2024    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
2025    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
2026    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
2027
2028  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
2029    movie export.
2030
2031  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
2032    export.
2033
2034* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
2035  James Begley.
2036
2037* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
2038  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
2039
2040* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
2041
2042* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
2043  messages get used automatically.
2044
2045* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
2046  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
2047
2048* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
2049
2050* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
2051
2052* Use https for more URLs which support it.
2053
2054Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
2055
2056* aven:
2057
2058  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
2059    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
2060    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
2061    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
2062    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
2063    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
2064    probably change in the future).
2065
2066  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
2067    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
2068    the survey tree root.
2069
2070  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
2071    the view was recentred).
2072
2073  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
2074    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
2075    wrong direction).
2076
2077  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
2078    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
2079    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
2080
2081  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
2082    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
2083    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
2084    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
2085
2086  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
2087    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
2088
2089  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
2090    addresses #60.
2091
2092  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
2093
2094  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
2095    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
2096    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
2097
2098  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
2099
2100  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
2101    360 or down past 0.
2102
2103  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
2104    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
2105    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
2106    real-valued ones.
2107
2108  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
2109    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
2110
2111  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
2112    Lynch.
2113
2114  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
2115
2116  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
2117    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
2118
2119  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
2120    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
2121    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
2122
2123  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
2124    should now work.
2125
2126* cavern:
2127
2128  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
2129
2130  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
2131    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
2132    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
2133
2134  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
2135    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
2136    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
2137
2138  + Fix check for end of version number array in *require.  We would check up
2139    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
2140    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
2141    issue.
2142
2143  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
2144    by patch from Colin Watson.
2145
2146  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
2147
2148* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
2149
2150* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
2151  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
2152
2153* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
2154  used in the same dataset.
2155
2156* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
2157  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
2158
2159* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
2160  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
2161  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
2162
2163* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
2164
2165Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
2166
2167* aven:
2168
2169  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
2170    cavern again.
2171
2172* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
2173  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
2174  location and use the same start menu folder.
2175
2176* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
2177  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
2178
2179* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
2180  by James Begley.
2181
2182Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
2183
2184* aven:
2185
2186  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
2187    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
2188    to address.
2189
2190  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
2191    over the survey tree.
2192
2193  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
2194
2195  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
2196    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
2197
2198  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
2199    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
2200    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
2201    encoded.
2202
2203  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
2204    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
2205    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
2206    terminals which do still support this.
2207
2208  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
2209    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
2210
2211* cavern:
2212
2213  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
2214    Edwards (see #78).
2215
2216  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
2217    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
2218    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
2219    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
2220
2221  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
2222    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
2223    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
2224
2225  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
2226    from Pete Smart (see #69).
2227
2228* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
2229  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
2230  Black.
2231
2232* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
2233
2234* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
2235  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
2236  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
2237  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
2238  Black.
2239
2240* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
2241  Black.
2242
2243* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
2244
2245* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
2246
2247* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
2248
2249* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
2250
2251* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
2252
2253* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
2254  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
2255
2256* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
2257  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
2258  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
2259
2260* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
2261  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
2262  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
2263  privileges or not.
2264
2265Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
2266
2267* aven:
2268
2269  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
2270    Clipstone.
2271
2272  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
2273    Reported by Jenny Black.
2274
2275  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
2276    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
2277    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
2278
2279  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
2280    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
2281    messages.
2282
2283  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
2284    the terminal in 1.2.23.
2285
2286* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
2287  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
2288
2289* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
2290
2291* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
2292  by Wookey.
2293
2294Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
2295
2296* aven:
2297
2298  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
2299    machines.
2300
2301  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
2302
2303  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
2304    already being processed.
2305
2306  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
2307    Reported by Martin Green.
2308
2309  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
2310
2311* cavern:
2312
2313  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
2314    find the original survey notes).
2315
2316  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
2317    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
2318    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
2319    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
2320    progress display to be useful.
2321
2322* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
2323
2324* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
2325  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
2326
2327* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
2328  running cavern.
2329
2330* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
2331  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
2332  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
2333
2334Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
2335
2336* aven:
2337
2338  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
2339    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
2340    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
2341    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
2342    finding this fix.
2343
2344* cavern:
2345
2346  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
2347
2348  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
2349    station.
2350
2351  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
2352    *export.
2353
2354Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
2355
2356* aven:
2357
2358  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
2359    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
2360    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
2361
2362  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
2363
2364  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
2365    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
2366    does.
2367
2368  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
2369    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
2370
2371  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
2372    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
2373
2374  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
2375    as appropriate.
2376
2377  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
2378    values on Windows.
2379
2380* cavern:
2381
2382  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
2383    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
2384    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
2385
2386  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
2387    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
2388
2389  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
2390    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
2391    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
2392    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
2393
2394  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
2395    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
2396    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
2397    Atkinson.
2398
2399  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
2400    actual error rather than on a separate line.
2401
2402  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
2403    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
2404    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
2405    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
2406
2407  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
2408    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
2409    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
2410
2411* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
2412  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
2413  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
2414  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
2415
2416* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
2417
2418* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
2419  "*DECLINATION" command.
2420
2421* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
2422  Reported by Jenny Black.
2423
2424* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
2425  documentation.
2426
2427* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
2428  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
2429
2430* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
2431
2432* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
2433
2434Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
2435
2436* aven:
2437
2438  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
2439    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
2440    the same or very similar by default.
2441
2442  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
2443    Maynard.
2444
2445  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
2446
2447  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
2448
2449  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
2450    away.
2451
2452  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
2453
2454  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
2455    display it.
2456
2457* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
2458  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
2459  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
2460  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
2461
2462* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
2463
2464* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
2465  before 1.2.19.
2466
2467* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
2468  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
2469
2470* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
2471
2472* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
2473  disk image.
2474
2475* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
2476
2477* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
2478  libav features we don't use.
2479
2480* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
2481  a load of libav features we don't use.
2482
2483* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
2484  message in the installer.
2485
2486Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
2487
2488* aven:
2489
2490  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
2491    the exported file in 1.2.18.
2492
2493  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
2494
2495  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
2496    exit full screen mode.
2497
2498  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
2499    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
2500    using since 1.2.7).
2501
2502  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
2503    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
2504    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
2505    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
2506    St. Lawrence.
2507
2508  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
2509    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
2510
2511  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
2512    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
2513    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
2514
2515  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
2516    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
2517    case like we do on other platforms.
2518
2519  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
2520
2521  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
2522    support multi-monitor setups.
2523
2524  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
2525    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
2526
2527  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
2528    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
2529
2530  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
2531    cases.
2532
2533  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
2534    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
2535    Erin Lynch)
2536
2537  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
2538    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
2539    items in in so it uses the full width.
2540
2541  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
2542    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
2543    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
2544    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
2545    window.
2546
2547  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
2548    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
2549    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
2550    only relevant on the first ever run.
2551
2552* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
2553
2554* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
2555  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
2556  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
2557  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
2558  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
2559  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
2560
2561* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
2562  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
2563
2564Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
2565
2566* aven:
2567
2568  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
2569    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
2570    rendering it as a transparent surface.
2571
2572  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
2573    sanely want to perform from the menu.
2574
2575  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
2576    colouring options.
2577
2578  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
2579
2580  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
2581    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
2582    pressing "Escape".
2583
2584  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
2585    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
2586
2587  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
2588    exporting.
2589
2590  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
2591
2592  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
2593    is quite likely to change.
2594
2595  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
2596    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
2597
2598  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
2599    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
2600    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
2601
2602  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
2603
2604  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
2605    markers in orange.
2606
2607  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
2608    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
2609
2610  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
2611    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
2612    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
2613    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
2614    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
2615    them would be better.
2616
2617  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
2618    Gee.
2619
2620  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
2621    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
2622    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
2623
2624  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
2625
2626* cavern:
2627
2628  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
2629    susscorfa).
2630
2631  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
2632    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
2633
2634  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
2635
2636  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
2637    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
2638
2639  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
2640    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
2641
2642* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
2643
2644* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
2645  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
2646  in a modern desktop.
2647
2648* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
2649  the filename in the error message.
2650
2651* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
2652  most complete translations.
2653
2654* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
2655
2656* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
2657  lacks them.
2658
2659* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
2660
2661* Manual:
2662
2663  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
2664    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
2665
2666  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
2667
2668  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
2669
2670  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
2671    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
2672    available for download.
2673
2674* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
2675  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
2676  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
2677
2678* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2679
2680* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
2681
2682Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
2683
2684* MacOS X version:
2685
2686  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
2687
2688  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
2689
2690  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
2691
2692  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
2693
2694  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
2695    currently do this for us.
2696
2697  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
2698
2699  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
2700
2701  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
2702
2703  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
2704    OS X cursor.
2705
2706  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
2707    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
2708    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
2709    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
2710    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
2711    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
2712    with TextEdit.app for example).
2713
2714  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
2715    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
2716
2717  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
2718
2719  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
2720    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
2721
2722  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
2723    Riggs.
2724
2725  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
2726    space.
2727
2728  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
2729
2730  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
2731    10.10.1.
2732
2733  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
2734    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
2735    errors.
2736
2737  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
2738    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
2739    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
2740    wxWidgets build supports by default.
2741
2742  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
2743
2744* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
2745  treat as a single leg.
2746
2747* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
2748
2749* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
2750
2751* aven:
2752
2753  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
2754    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
2755
2756  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
2757    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
2758    1:500).
2759
2760  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
2761    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
2762    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
2763    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
2764
2765  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
2766    there rather than the two animations fighting.
2767
2768  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
2769    fast.
2770
2771  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
2772    when rotating).
2773
2774  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
2775    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
2776
2777* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
2778  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
2779
2780* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
2781
2782* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
2783
2784* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
2785
2786* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
2787
2788* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
2789  we're using git.
2790
2791* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
2792
2793  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
2794    compass.
2795
2796  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
2797
2798  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
2799
2800Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
2801
2802* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
2803
2804* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
2805
2806* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
2807
2808* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
2809  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
2810
2811* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
2812
2813* tests/: Improve test coverage.
2814
2815* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
2816  Greek and Polish.
2817
2818* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
2819  by Martin Sluka.
2820
2821* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
2822  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
2823
2824Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
2825
2826* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
2827  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
2828  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
2829  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
2830  for *cs has also been improved.
2831
2832* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
2833  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
2834  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
2835  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
2836
2837* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
2838  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
2839  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
2840  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
2841  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
2842
2843* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
2844  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
2845  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
2846
2847* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
2848
2849* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
2850
2851* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
2852  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
2853  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
2854
2855* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
2856  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
2857
2858Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
2859
2860* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
2861  system in use in 3d v8 files.
2862
2863* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
2864  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
2865  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
2866  export dialog.
2867
2868* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
2869  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
2870  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
2871  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
2872  rather than having one corner there.
2873
2874* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
2875  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
2876
2877* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
2878  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
2879
2880* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
2881  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
2882  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
2883
2884* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
2885  such as 64-bit Linux.
2886
2887* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
2888  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
2889
2890* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
2891  64-bit platforms.
2892
2893* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
2894  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
2895  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
2896
2897* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
2898  the space available in the aven UI.
2899
2900* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
2901  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
2902  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
2903
2904* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
2905  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
2906
2907* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
2908  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
2909  about unconnected surveys.
2910
2911* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
2912  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
2913
2914* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
2915  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
2916  freed memory.
2917
2918* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
2919
2920* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
2921
2922* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
2923
2924* Fix a compiler warning.
2925
2926* Improve test coverage.
2927
2928Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
2929
2930* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
2931  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
2932  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
2933
2934* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
2935  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
2936  Hugh St Lawrence.
2937
2938* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
2939  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
2940  with using aven on a touch screen device.
2941
2942* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
2943  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
2944
2945* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
2946  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
2947
2948* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
2949  off and back on.
2950
2951* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
2952  up time a little.
2953
2954* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
2955  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
2956
2957* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
2958  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
2959  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
2960  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
2961  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
2962  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
2963  situation too.
2964
2965* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
2966  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
2967  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
2968
2969* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
2970
2971* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
2972
2973* Minor translation updates to French.
2974
2975* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
2976
2977* Testsuite improvements:
2978
2979  + Test that "..." anon station works.
2980
2981  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
2982    fail and give an error count.
2983
2984  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
2985
2986Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
2987
2988* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
2989  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
2990  Clipstone.
2991
2992* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
2993
2994* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
2995
2996  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
2997    overlap the scale bar ticks.
2998
2999  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
3000    clipping the border in print preview.
3001
3002  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
3003
3004* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
3005  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
3006
3007* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
3008  available.
3009
3010* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
3011
3012* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
3013
3014* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
3015  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
3016
3017* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
3018  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
3019
3020* Various translation updates.
3021
3022Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
3023
3024* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
3025  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
3026
3027* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
3028  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
3029  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
3030  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
3031
3032* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
3033  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
3034
3035* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
3036  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
3037
3038* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
3039  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
3040
3041* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
3042  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
3043
3044* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
3045  box".
3046
3047* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
3048
3049* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
3050  indicators.
3051
3052* aven: All length units are now translatable.
3053
3054* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
3055  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
3056  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
3057
3058* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
3059  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
3060  measurably slower.
3061
3062* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
3063  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
3064
3065* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
3066  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
3067
3068* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
3069  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
3070  from Therion and elsewhere.
3071
3072* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
3073  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
3074  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
3075
3076* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
3077  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
3078
3079* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
3080  A. Riggs for his work on this.
3081
3082* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
3083  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
3084
3085* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
3086
3087* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
3088  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
3089  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
3090  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
3091  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
3092  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
3093
3094* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
3095
3096Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
3097
3098* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
3099  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
3100  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
3101  Clipstone.
3102
3103* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
3104  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
3105
3106* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
3107  exported SVG files.
3108
3109* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
3110
3111* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
3112  file.
3113
3114* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
3115  GPX files.
3116
3117* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
3118
3119* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
3120  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
3121
3122* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
3123  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
3124  on startup.
3125
3126* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
3127
3128* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
3129  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
3130  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
3131  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
3132  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
3133  other extensions.
3134
3135* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
3136  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
3137  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
3138  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
3139  timezone wrong.
3140
3141* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
3142
3143* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
3144  'SURVEY DATE:'.
3145
3146* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
3147
3148* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
3149
3150* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
3151  enabled.
3152
3153Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
3154
3155* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
3156
3157* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
3158
3159* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
3160
3161* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
3162  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
3163  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
3164
3165* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
3166  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
3167  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
3168
3169* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
3170  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
3171
3172* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
3173
3174* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
3175
3176* Fix some compiler warnings.
3177
3178Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
3179
3180* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
3181  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
3182  Holder.
3183
3184* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
3185  statistics when the value gets large.
3186
3187* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
3188  equations.
3189
3190* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
3191  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
3192  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
3193  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
3194  better when the "View" box is hidden.
3195
3196* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
3197  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
3198
3199* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
3200  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
3201  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
3202  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
3203  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
3204  way is coming soon.
3205
3206* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
3207  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
3208
3209* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
3210  time ago, so update references.
3211
3212* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
3213  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
3214
3215* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
3216  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
3217
3218* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
3219  Sebastian Ramacher.
3220
3221* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
3222
3223* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
3224
3225* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
3226
3227* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
3228
3229* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
3230
3231* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
3232  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
3233  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
3234
3235* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
3236
3237* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
3238
3239* img library:
3240
3241  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
3242    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
3243    reading).
3244
3245  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
3246    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
3247
3248  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
3249    support these as an extension.
3250
3251  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
3252
3253* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
3254  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
3255  itself has any translations for.
3256
3257* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
3258
3259* Minor translation updates.
3260
3261* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
3262
3263Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
3264
3265* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
3266  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
3267  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
3268  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
3269  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
3270  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
3271  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
3272  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
3273
3274* New version 8 of the 3d format:
3275
3276  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
3277
3278  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
3279    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
3280
3281  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
3282    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
3283
3284  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
3285
3286  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
3287    human-readable string.
3288
3289  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
3290    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
3291
3292* img library:
3293
3294  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
3295
3296  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
3297    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
3298
3299  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
3300    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
3301    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
3302    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
3303    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
3304    explicitly in the file.
3305
3306  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
3307
3308* aven:
3309
3310  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
3311    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
3312    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
3313    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
3314    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
3315    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
3316
3317  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
3318    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
3319    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
3320    queued up.
3321
3322  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
3323    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
3324
3325  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
3326    them like other legs.
3327
3328  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
3329    station names to positions.
3330
3331  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
3332    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
3333    wrongly.
3334
3335  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
3336
3337  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
3338    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
3339    that's used by the desktop).
3340
3341  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
3342
3343  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
3344    error from cavern.
3345
3346  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
3347
3348  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
3349    in the dialog in sync.
3350
3351* cavern:
3352
3353  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
3354    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
3355    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
3356
3357  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
3358    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
3359
3360  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
3361    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
3362    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
3363    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
3364    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
3365    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
3366    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
3367    degrees.
3368
3369  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
3370    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
3371    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
3372
3373  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
3374
3375  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
3376    warnings.
3377
3378  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
3379    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
3380
3381  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
3382    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
3383
3384  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
3385    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
3386    relevant.
3387
3388  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
3389    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
3390    the same line.
3391
3392  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
3393    "End of line not blank" error.
3394
3395  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
3396    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
3397
3398  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
3399    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
3400
3401  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
3402    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
3403    include that character in the token reported.
3404
3405  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
3406    first item.
3407
3408* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
3409
3410* dump3d:
3411
3412  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
3413    info from 3d files in scripts.
3414
3415  + Add --show-dates option.
3416
3417  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
3418
3419  + Report the data style of legs.
3420
3421  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
3422
3423  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
3424
3425* Test suite:
3426
3427  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
3428    expected output so it passes reliably.
3429
3430  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
3431    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
3432
3433  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
3434    for more.
3435
3436* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
3437  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
3438  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
3439
3440* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
3441  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
3442
3443* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
3444  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
3445
3446* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
3447  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
3448  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
3449  settings.
3450
3451* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
3452  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
3453  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
3454  set correctly.
3455
3456* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
3457  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
3458  them to translate.
3459
3460* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
3461  close to complete.
3462
3463* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
3464
3465* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
3466
3467* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
3468
3469Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
3470
3471* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
3472
3473* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
3474  package (ticket#35).
3475
3476* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
3477  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
3478  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
3479
3480* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
3481  Kahler.
3482
3483* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
3484  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
3485  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
3486  libproj and build survex with:
3487
3488      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3489      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3490
3491* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
3492
3493* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
3494
3495* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
3496  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
3497  file".
3498
3499Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
3500
3501* aven:
3502
3503  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
3504
3505  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
3506    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
3507
3508  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
3509
3510  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
3511
3512  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
3513    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
3514
3515* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
3516  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
3517  error early on).
3518
3519* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
3520  the man page source as well as in the filename.
3521
3522Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
3523
3524* aven:
3525
3526  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
3527    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
3528    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
3529    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
3530
3531  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
3532    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
3533
3534  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
3535
3536  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
3537
3538  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
3539
3540* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
3541
3542Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
3543
3544* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
3545
3546* (Mac OS X version):
3547
3548  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
3549
3550  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
3551
3552  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
3553    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
3554
3555  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
3556
3557* aven:
3558
3559  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
3560
3561  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
3562
3563    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
3564      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
3565      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
3566      character.
3567
3568    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
3569      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
3570      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
3571      and two in a few cases.
3572
3573    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
3574      8 pixels.
3575
3576  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
3577    draw crosses.
3578
3579  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
3580    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
3581    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
3582    is the start or end of a tube.
3583
3584  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
3585    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
3586
3587  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
3588    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
3589    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
3590
3591* extend:
3592
3593  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
3594
3595  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
3596    which means "no info").
3597
3598* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
3599  was no longer used - it certainly is!
3600
3601* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
3602  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
3603  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
3604  current character set.
3605
3606* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
3607
3608* Test suite:
3609
3610  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
3611
3612  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
3613
3614Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
3615
3616* aven:
3617
3618  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
3619    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
3620    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
3621    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
3622    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
3623    usable format.
3624
3625  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
3626    files.  (ticket#26)
3627
3628  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
3629    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
3630
3631  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
3632    using lines.
3633
3634  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
3635    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
3636
3637  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
3638    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
3639    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
3640    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
3641
3642  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
3643    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
3644    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
3645
3646  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
3647    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
3648    in 1.2.1.
3649
3650Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
3651
3652* Translation updates for US English.
3653
3654* aven:
3655
3656  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
3657    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
3658
3659  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
3660
3661  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
3662    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
3663    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
3664    visually similar to the survey legs.
3665
3666  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
3667    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
3668
3669  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
3670    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
3671    does still provide some useful information).
3672
3673  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
3674    a depth band boundary.
3675
3676  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
3677    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
3678    full-screen mode).
3679
3680  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
3681    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
3682    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
3683    are a little better, though still not perfect.
3684
3685  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
3686    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
3687
3688  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
3689    that station.
3690
3691  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
3692    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
3693
3694  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
3695    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
3696    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
3697    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
3698    a case as it is a bug).
3699
3700  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
3701    invalidated on window width or height changes.
3702
3703  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
3704    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
3705    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
3706    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
3707
3708  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
3709    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
3710    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
3711    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
3712    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
3713    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
3714    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
3715
3716  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
3717    similarly for other compass points.
3718
3719  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
3720    info in the "About" dialog.
3721
3722  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
3723    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
3724
3725  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
3726    as well as still working with older versions.
3727
3728  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
3729    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
3730
3731  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
3732    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
3733    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
3734    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
3735    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
3736
3737  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
3738    nicer and make better use of the available space.
3739
3740  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
3741    dialog.
3742
3743  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
3744    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
3745
3746  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
3747    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
3748
3749  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
3750
3751  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
3752
3753  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
3754    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
3755    being pressed and toggle full screen.
3756
3757* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
3758  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
3759
3760* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
3761
3762* More messages are now available to be translated.
3763
3764* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
3765  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
3766
3767* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
3768
3769* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
3770  sudo for installing on Unix.
3771
3772* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
3773  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
3774
3775* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
3776  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
3777
3778* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
3779
3780Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
3781
3782* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
3783  English.
3784
3785* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
3786  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
3787  case.
3788
3789* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
3790  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
3791  these into Survex's .msg format.
3792
3793* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
3794  an actual command).
3795
3796* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
3797  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
3798  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
3799  recurrence of that).
3800
3801* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
3802  than /usr/doc/survex.
3803
3804* aven:
3805
3806  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
3807
3808  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
3809    nicer at larger sizes.
3810
3811  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
3812    with GLX >= 1.3.
3813
3814  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
3815
3816  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
3817    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
3818    required libraries set up for building releases.
3819
3820  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
3821
3822  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
3823
3824  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
3825    rendered with icons on some platforms.
3826
3827  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
3828    ISO8859-1).
3829
3830  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
3831    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
3832
3833  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
3834    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
3835
3836* cavern:
3837
3838  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
3839    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
3840    fatal error!
3841
3842  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
3843    format to output.  (ticket#21)
3844
3845* img library:
3846
3847  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
3848    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
3849
3850* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
3851  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
3852
3853Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
3854
3855* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
3856  Portuguese, and US English.
3857
3858* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
3859  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
3860
3861* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
3862  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
3863
3864* img.c:
3865
3866  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
3867
3868  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
3869
3870* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
3871
3872* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
3873  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
3874  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
3875  translated.
3876
3877Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
3878
3879* aven:
3880
3881  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
3882    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
3883
3884  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
3885    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
3886    addresses ticket#12.
3887
3888  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
3889    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
3890    consistent shape.
3891
3892  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
3893    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
3894    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
3895    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
3896
3897  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
3898    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
3899
3900  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
3901
3902  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
3903    more places.
3904
3905  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
3906    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
3907
3908* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
3909
3910* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
3911  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
3912
3913* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
3914
3915* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
3916  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
3917  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
3918  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
3919  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
3920  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
3921
3922* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
3923  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
3924  redirecting to it.
3925
3926* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
3927  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
3928  I/O).
3929
3930* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
3931  headers.
3932
3933* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
3934
3935* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
3936  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
3937
3938* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
3939
3940Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
3941
3942* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
3943
3944* aven:
3945
3946  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
3947    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
3948    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
3949    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
3950
3951  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
3952
3953  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
3954    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
3955    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
3956    a number.
3957
3958  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
3959    log window.
3960
3961  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
3962    various cases.
3963
3964  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
3965    (ticket#9)
3966
3967  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
3968    namespace with its own "Point" class.
3969
3970  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
3971    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
3972
3973  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
3974
3975  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
3976    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
3977
3978* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
3979  give them before.
3980
3981* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
3982  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
3983  point looking for them now.
3984
3985* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
3986  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
3987  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
3988  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
3989
3990* manual:
3991
3992  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
3993
3994  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
3995    (change taken from 1.0).
3996
3997* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
3998
3999Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
4000
4001* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
4002
4003* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
4004
4005* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
4006
4007* aven:
4008
4009  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
4010
4011  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
4012    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
4013    seem to be Unicode now).
4014
4015  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
4016    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
4017
4018  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
4019    text on the survey pane:
4020
4021    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
4022
4023    - Character spacing is improved.
4024
4025    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
4026
4027  + "About" dialog:
4028
4029    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
4030      bug reporting.
4031
4032    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
4033      modern gfx card.
4034
4035    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
4036
4037  + Processing .svx files:
4038
4039    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
4040
4041    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
4042      than opening a separate frame for it.
4043
4044    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
4045
4046    - Fix small memory leak.
4047
4048  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
4049    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
4050    such a name.
4051
4052  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
4053
4054  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
4055    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
4056    invocations.
4057
4058  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
4059
4060  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
4061
4062  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
4063
4064* Documentation:
4065
4066  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
4067
4068  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
4069    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
4070    together isn't very useful.
4071
4072  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
4073
4074  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
4075    the FSF website.
4076
4077  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
4078    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
4079    the source code.
4080
4081* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
4082  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
4083
4084* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
4085  package from the source tarball.
4086
4087* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
4088  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
4089
4090Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
4091
4092* aven:
4093
4094  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
4095
4096  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
4097
4098  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
4099    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
4100    names/crosses).
4101
4102Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
4103
4104* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
4105
4106* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
4107
4108* aven:
4109
4110  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
4111
4112  + Fix character spacing.
4113
4114  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
4115    proportional fonts.
4116
4117  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
4118    rather than the filename.
4119
4120  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
4121
4122  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
4123    depth colouring.
4124
4125  + Add "Colour by Error".
4126
4127  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
4128
4129  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
4130
4131  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
4132
4133  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
4134
4135  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
4136
4137  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
4138
4139  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
4140
4141  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
4142    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
4143
4144  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
4145
4146  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
4147    default.
4148
4149* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
4150  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
4151
4152* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
4153  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
4154
4155* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
4156
4157* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
4158
4159Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
4160
4161* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
4162  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
4163  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
4164  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
4165  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
4166
4167* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
4168  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
4169  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
4170
4171* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
4172  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
4173  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
4174
4175* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
4176  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
4177  allowed).
4178
4179* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
4180
4181* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4182
4183* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4184
4185Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
4186
4187* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
4188  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
4189
4190* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
4191  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
4192  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
4193
4194* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
4195  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
4196  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
4197  the new "*data passage" style.
4198
4199* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
4200  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
4201
4202* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
4203  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
4204  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
4205  some cases.
4206
4207* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
4208  with no survey loaded.
4209
4210* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
4211
4212* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
4213  loaded a survey.
4214
4215* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
4216
4217* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
4218
4219* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
4220  doesn't exist.
4221
4222* Updated French and Italian translations.
4223
4224* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
4225  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
4226
4227* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
4228  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
4229  update their copy).
4230
4231* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
4232  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
4233  trying to compile).
4234
4235Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
4236
4237* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
4238  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
4239
4240* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
4241  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
4242  has been disabled.
4243
4244* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
4245  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
4246  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
4247  time.
4248
4249* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
4250  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
4251  highlighted stations.
4252
4253* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
4254
4255* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
4256  the tilt from plan to elevation.
4257
4258* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
4259  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
4260
4261* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
4262  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
4263  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
4264
4265* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
4266  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
4267
4268* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
4269
4270* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
4271
4272* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
4273
4274* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
4275  run by an unprivileged user.
4276
4277* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
4278  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
4279  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
4280
4281* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
4282  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
4283
4284* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
4285
4286* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
4287  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
4288
4289* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
4290  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
4291
4292* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
4293  if it isn't.
4294
4295* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
4296  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
4297
4298* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
4299  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
4300
4301* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
4302  reset to default view as well).
4303
4304* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
4305  empty.
4306
4307* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
4308  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
4309
4310* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
4311  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
4312  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
4313
4314* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
4315  and non-zero width lines.
4316
4317* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
4318  was turned on.
4319
4320* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
4321  not always being fully written.
4322
4323Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
4324
4325* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
4326  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
4327  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
4328  date near the middle of that period).
4329
4330* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
4331  with MS Windows).
4332
4333* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
4334  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
4335  several surveys in the same directory).
4336
4337* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
4338  our check for them to include that knowledge.
4339
4340* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
4341
4342* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
4343  moved off a station.
4344
4345* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
4346  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
4347
4348* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
4349
4350* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
4351  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
4352
4353* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
4354  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
4355  dialogs.
4356
4357* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
4358  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
4359
4360* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
4361  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
4362  introduced in 1.1.6).
4363
4364* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
4365  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
4366  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
4367
4368* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
4369  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
4370
4371* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
4372
4373* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
4374
4375Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
4376
4377* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
4378  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
4379
4380* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
4381  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
4382  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
4383  3d file.
4384
4385* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
4386
4387* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
4388
4389* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
4390  Instead turn off depth colouring.
4391
4392* aven: Export as HPGL added.
4393
4394* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
4395  Martin Green).
4396
4397* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
4398  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
4399  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
4400
4401* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
4402
4403* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
4404  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
4405
4406* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
4407  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
4408  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
4409  of everything else.
4410
4411* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
4412  presentation icons.
4413
4414* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
4415  keyboard focus there.
4416
4417* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
4418
4419* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
4420
4421* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
4422
4423* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
4424
4425* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
4426  language to use for messages.
4427
4428* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
4429  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
4430
4431* Removed old printer drivers.
4432
4433* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
4434  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
4435
4436Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
4437
4438* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
4439
4440* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
4441
4442* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
4443  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
4444
4445* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
4446  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
4447
4448* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
4449
4450* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
4451  underground legs is toggled.
4452
4453* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
4454  attached to the previous data.
4455
4456* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
4457  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
4458  them.
4459
4460Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
4461
4462* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
4463
4464* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
4465  continental European countries).
4466
4467* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
4468  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
4469  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
4470
4471* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
4472
4473* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
4474  they're needed.
4475
4476* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
4477
4478* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
4479
4480* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
4481
4482* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
4483  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
4484  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
4485
4486* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
4487
4488Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
4489
4490* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
4491
4492* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
4493
4494* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
4495
4496* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
4497
4498* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
4499
4500* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
4501
4502* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
4503  when there's a presentation loaded.
4504
4505* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
4506  in cave view.
4507
4508* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
4509
4510* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
4511  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
4512  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
4513
4514* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
4515  filename for file history and window title.
4516
4517* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
4518  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
4519  only needed with GTK1.2.
4520
4521* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
4522
4523* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
4524
4525* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
4526
4527* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
4528
4529Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
4530
4531* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
4532  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
4533  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
4534
4535* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
4536  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
4537
4538* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
4539  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
4540  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
4541  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
4542
4543* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
4544
4545* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
4546  with --help and --version.
4547
4548* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
4549  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
4550  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
4551  Fixed all these problems.
4552
4553* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
4554  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
4555  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
4556
4557* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
4558  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
4559  sources.
4560
4561* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
4562
4563* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
4564
4565* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
4566  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
4567
4568* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
4569  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
4570  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
4571  animating.
4572
4573* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
4574
4575* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
4576
4577* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
4578  to this branch.
4579
4580* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
4581
4582  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
4583
4584  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
4585
4586  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
4587
4588* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
4589
4590* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
4591  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
4592
4593* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
4594
4595* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
4596  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
4597
4598* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
4599
4600* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
4601  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
4602  for anyone building from CVS).
4603
4604* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
4605
4606* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
4607
4608* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
4609
4610* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
4611
4612* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
4613  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
4614  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
4615
4616* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
4617  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
4618
4619* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
4620
4621* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
4622  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
4623  loaded).
4624
4625* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
4626
4627Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
4628
4629* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
4630  startup.
4631
4632* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
4633  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
4634
4635Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
4636
4637* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
4638  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
4639  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
4640
4641* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
4642  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
4643  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
4644
4645* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
4646  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
4647  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
4648
4649* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
4650
4651* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
4652  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
4653
4654* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
4655  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
4656
4657* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
4658  better use of screen space.
4659
4660* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
4661
4662* aven: Perspective view.
4663
4664* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
4665
4666* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
4667  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
4668
4669* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
4670  and load/save/run them.
4671
4672* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
4673
4674* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
4675
4676* aven: Depth fogging option.
4677
4678* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
4679
4680* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
4681
4682* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
4683  showing the surface legs.
4684
4685* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
