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