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