1Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-18):
2
3* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
4  English.
5
6* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
7  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
8  case.
9
10* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
11  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
12  these into Survex's .msg format.
13
14* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
15  an actual command).
16
17* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
18  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
19  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
20  recurrence of that).
21
22* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
23  than /usr/doc/survex.
24
25* aven:
26
27  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
28    nicer at larger sizes.
29
30  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
31    with GLX >= 1.3.
32
33  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
34
35  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
36    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
37    required libraries set up for building releases.
38
39  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
40
41  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
42
43  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
44    rendered with icons on some platforms.
45
46  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
47    ISO8859-1).
48
49  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
50    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
51
52  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
53    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
54
55* cavern:
56
57  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
58    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
59    fatal error!
60
61  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
62    format to output.  (ticket#21)
63
64* img library:
65
66  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
67    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
68
69* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
70  volume actually gets mounted.  Build for x86_64 as well as i386.  Fix URL
71  for downloading wxWidgets, and use wxWidgets 2.8.12 by default.
72
73Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
74
75* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
76  Portuguese, and US English.
77
78* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
79  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
80
81* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
82  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
83
84* img.c:
85
86  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
87
88  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
89
90* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
91
92* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
93  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
94  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
95  translated.
96
97Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
98
99* aven:
100
101  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
102    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
103
104  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
105    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
106    addresses ticket#12.
107
108  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
109    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
110    consistent shape.
111
112  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
113    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
114    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
115    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
116
117  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
118    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
119
120  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
121
122  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
123    more places.
124
125  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
126    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
127
128* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
129
130* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
131  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
132
133* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
134
135* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
136  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
137  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
138  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
139  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
140  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
141
142* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
143  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
144  redirecting to it.
145
146* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
147  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
148  I/O).
149
150* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
151  headers.
152
153* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
154
155* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
156  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
157
158* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
159
160Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
161
162* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
163
164* aven:
165
166  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
167    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
168    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
169    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
170
171  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
172
173  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
174    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
175    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
176    a number.
177
178  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
179    log window.
180
181  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
182    various cases.
183
184  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
185    (ticket#9)
186
187  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
188    namespace with its own "Point" class.
189
190  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
191    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
192
193  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
194
195  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
196    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
197
198* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
199  give them before.
200
201* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
202  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
203  point looking for them now.
204
205* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
206  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
207  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
208  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
209
210* manual:
211
212  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
213
214  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
215    (change taken from 1.0).
216
217* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
218
219Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
220
221* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
222
223* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
224
225* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
226
227* aven:
228
229  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
230
231  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
232    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
233    seem to be Unicode now).
234
235  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
236    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
237
238  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
239    text on the survey pane:
240
241    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
242
243    - Character spacing is improved.
244
245    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
246
247  + "About" dialog:
248
249    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
250      bug reporting.
251
252    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
253      modern gfx card.
254
255    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
256
257  + Processing .svx files:
258
259    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
260
261    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
262      than opening a separate frame for it.
263
264    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
265
266    - Fix small memory leak.
267
268  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
269    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
270    such a name.
271
272  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
273
274  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
275    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
276    invocations.
277
278  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
279
280  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
281
282  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
283
284* Documentation:
285
286  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
287
288  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
289    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
290    together isn't very useful.
291
292  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
293
294  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
295    the FSF website.
296
297  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
298    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
299    the source code.
300
301* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
302  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
303
304* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
305  package from the source tarball.
306
307* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
308  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
309
310Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
311
312* aven:
313
314  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
315
316  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
317
318  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
319    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
320    names/crosses).
321
322Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
323
324* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
325
326* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
327
328* aven:
329
330  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
331
332  + Fix character spacing.
333
334  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
335    proportional fonts.
336
337  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
338    rather than the filename.
339
340  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
341
342  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
343    depth colouring.
344
345  + Add "Colour by Error".
346
347  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
348
349  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
350
351  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
352
353  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
354
355  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
356
357  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
358
359  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
360
361  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
362    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
363
364  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
365
366  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
367    default.
368
369* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
370  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
371
372* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
373  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
374
375* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
376
377* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
378
379Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
380
381* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
382  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
383  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
384  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
385  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
386
387* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
388  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
389  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
390
391* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
392  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
393  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
394
395* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
396  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
397  allowed).
398
399* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
400
401* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
402
403* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
404
405Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
406
407* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
408  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
409
410* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
411  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
412  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
413
414* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
415  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
416  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
417  the new "*data passage" style.
418
419* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
420  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
421
422* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
423  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
424  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
425  some cases.
426
427* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
428  with no survey loaded.
429
430* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
431
432* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
433  loaded a survey.
434
435* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
436
437* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
438
439* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
440  doesn't exist.
441
442* Updated French and Italian translations.
443
444* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
445  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
446
447* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
448  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
449  update their copy).
450
451* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
452  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
453  trying to compile).
454
455Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
456
457* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
458  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
459
460* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
461  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
462  has been disabled.
463
464* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
465  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
466  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
467  time.
468
469* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
470  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
471  highlighted stations.
472
473* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
474
475* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
476  the tilt from plan to elevation.
477
478* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
479  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
480
481* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
482  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
483  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
484
485* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
486  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
487
488* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
489
490* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
491
492* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
493
494* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
495  run by an unprivileged user.
496
497* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
498  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
499  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
500
501* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
502  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
503
504* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
505
506* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
507  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
508
509* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
510  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
511
512* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
513  if it isn't.
514
515* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
516  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
517
518* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
519  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
520
521* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
522  reset to default view as well).
523
524* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
525  empty.
526
527* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
528  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
529
530* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
531  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
532  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
533
534* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
535  and non-zero width lines.
536
537* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
538  was turned on.
539
540* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
541  not always being fully written.
542
543Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
544
545* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
546  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
547  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
548  date near the middle of that period).
549
550* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
551  with MS Windows).
552
553* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
554  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
555  several surveys in the same directory).
556
557* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
558  our check for them to include that knowledge.
559
560* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
561
562* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
563  moved off a station.
564
565* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
566  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
567
568* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
569
570* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
571  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
572
573* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
574  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
575  dialogs.
576
577* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
578  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
579
580* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
581  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
582  introduced in 1.1.6).
583
584* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
585  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
586  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
587
588* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
589  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
590
591* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
592
593* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
594
595Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
596
597* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
598  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
599
600* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
601  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
602  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
603  3d file.
604
605* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
606
607* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
608
609* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
610  Instead turn off depth colouring.
611
612* aven: Export as HPGL added.
613
614* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
615  Martin Green).
616
617* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
618  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
619  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
620
621* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
622
623* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
624  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
625
626* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
627  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
628  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
629  of everything else.
630
631* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
632  presentation icons.
633
634* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
635  keyboard focus there.
636
637* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
638
639* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
640
641* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
642
643* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
644
645* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
646  language to use for messages.
647
648* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
649  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
650
651* Removed old printer drivers.
652
653* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
654  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
655
656Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
657
658* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
659
660* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
661
662* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
663  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
664
665* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
666  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
667
668* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
669
670* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
671  underground legs is toggled.
672
673* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
674  attached to the previous data.
675
676* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
677  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
678  them.
679
680Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
681
682* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
683
684* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
685  continental European countries).
686
687* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
688  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
689  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
690
691* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
692
693* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
694  they're needed.
695
696* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
697
698* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
699
700* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
701
702* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
703  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
704  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
705
706* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
707
708Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
709
710* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
711
712* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
713
714* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
715
716* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
717
718* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
719
720* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
721
722* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
723  when there's a presentation loaded.
724
725* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
726  in cave view.
727
728* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
729
730* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
731  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
732  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
733
734* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
735  filename for file history and window title.
736
737* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
738  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
739  only needed with GTK1.2.
740
741* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
742
743* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
744
745* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
746
747* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
748
749Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
750
751* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
752  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
753  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
754
755* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
756  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
757
758* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
759  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
760  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
761  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
762
763* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
764
765* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
766  with --help and --version.
767
768* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
769  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
770  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
771  Fixed all these problems.
772
773* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
774  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
775  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
776
777* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
778  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
779  sources.
780
781* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
782
783* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
784
785* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
786  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
787
788* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
789  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
790  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
791  animating.
792
793* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
794
795* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
796
797* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
798  to this branch.
799
800* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
801
802  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
803
804  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
805
806  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
807
808* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
809
810* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
811  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
812
813* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
814
815* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
816  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
817
818* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
819
820* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
821  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
822  for anyone building from CVS).
823
824* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
825
826* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
827
828* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
829
830* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
831
832* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
833  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
834  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
835
836* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
837  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
838
839* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
840
841* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
842  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
843  loaded).
844
845* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
846
847Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
848
849* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
850  startup.
851
852* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
853  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
854
855Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
856
857* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
858  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
859  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
860
861* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
862  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
863  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
864
865* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
866  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
867  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
868
869* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
870
871* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
872  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
873
874* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
875  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
876
877* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
878  better use of screen space.
879
880* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
881
882* aven: Perspective view.
883
884* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
885
886* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
887  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
888
889* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
890  and load/save/run them.
891
892* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
893
894* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
895
896* aven: Depth fogging option.
897
898* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
899
900* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
901
902* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
903  showing the surface legs.
904
905* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
Note: See TracBrowser for help on using the repository browser.
