1Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
2
3* aven:
4
5  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
6
7  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
8    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
9    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
10    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
11    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
12    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
13    for new entrances.
14
15  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
16    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
17    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
18    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
19
20  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
21
22  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
23    to show via the right-click menu.
24
25  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
26    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
27    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
28    child surveys of the parent.
29
30  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
31    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
32    survey.
33
34  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
35    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
36
37  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
38
39  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
40    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
41
42  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
43    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
44    filtering this matters more).
45
46* survexport:
47
48  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
49    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
50
51  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
52
53* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
54
55* Minor translation updates.
56
57* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
58
59* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
60
61* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
62
63Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
64
65* aven:
66
67  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
68    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
69    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
70    on screen, printed and exported.
71
72  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
73    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
74    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
75    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
76    survey.
77
78  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
79    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
80    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
81    view.  Reported by Wookey.
82
83  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
84    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
85    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
86
87  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
88    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
89
90  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
91    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
92
93  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
94    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
95
96  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
97    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
98
99  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
100    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
101
102* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
103  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
104  tools could do, plus much more.
105
106* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
107
108* Minor updates to various other translations.
109
110* img library:
111
112  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
113
114  + Improve API documentation.
115
116* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
117  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
118  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
119
120* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
121  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
122  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
123  control what gets exported.
124
125Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
126
127* aven:
128
129  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
130    of 1.2.33.
131
132  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
133
134Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
135
136* aven:
137
138  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
139    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
140    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
141    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
142
143  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
144    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
145    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
146    Erin Lynch.
147
148  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
149    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
150    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
151
152  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
153    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
154    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
155    unnecessarily.
156
157  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
158    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
159    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
160    for this control).
161
162  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
163    under GTK3.
164
165  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
166    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
167    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
168
169  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
170    current development version).
171
172  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
173    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
174    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
175
176* cavern:
177
178  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
179    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
180    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
181    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
182    "19".
183
184* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
185  Evaristo Quiroga.
186
187* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
188
189* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
190  milosch.
191
192* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
193  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
194  translated messages.
195
196* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
197  Indonesian and Polish.
198
199* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
200  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
201  Reported by Martin Sluka.
202
203* Fix a few compiler warnings.
204
205* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
206  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
207  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
208
209* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
210
211  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
212    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
213    but happens to fail if it isn't.
214
215  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
216
217  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
218
219  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
220
221* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
222  detected at run time on macOS.
223
224* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
225  by the homebrew formula.
226
227* buildmacosx.sh:
228
229  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
230    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
231
232  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
233
234* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
235  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
236
237Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
238
239* aven:
240
241  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
242    and Anthony Day.
243
244  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
245    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
246    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
247    Erin Lynch in #89.
248
249  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
250    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
251    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
252    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
253    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
254    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
255    elevations.
256
257  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
258    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
259    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
260
261  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
262    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
263    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
264    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
265    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
266    "on".
267
268  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
269    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
270
271  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
272    the display wouldn't update right away.
273
274* Manual:
275
276  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
277
278  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
279
280* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
281  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
282  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
283  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
284  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
285
286Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
287
288* aven:
289
290  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
291    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
292    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
293
294  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
295    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
296    before by others.
297
298  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
299
300  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
301    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
302    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
303    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
304    original change.
305
306  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
307    which extends beyond the end of the line).
308
309  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
310    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
311
312  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
313
314  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
315
316  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
317    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
318    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
319    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
320    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
321    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
322    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
323
324  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
325    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
326
327  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
328    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
329    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
330
331  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
332    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
333    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
334    much vertical range.
335
336  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
337    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
338    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
339    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
340    are drawn in this way.
341
342  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
343    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
344    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
345    centre should be a single pixel.
346
347* cavern:
348
349  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
350    entering passage data where there are side passages.
351
352  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
353    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
354
355  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
356    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
357    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
358    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
359
360  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
361    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
362    Reported by Erin Lynch.
363
364  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
365    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
366    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
367    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
368
369  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
370    other messages.
371
372* extend:
373
374  + Now runs a bit faster.
375
376  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
377    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
378    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
379    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
380    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
381    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
382    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
383    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
384    be handled better) most welcome.
385
386* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
387
388* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
389
390* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
391  translations from therion.
392
393* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
394  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
395
396* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
397  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
398  Footleg.
399
400* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
401
402* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
403
404Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
405
406* aven:
407
408  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
409    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
410
411  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
412    Suggested by detrito.
413
414  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
415    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
416
417  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
418    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
419
420* Add man page for dump3d.
421
422Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
423
424* aven:
425
426  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
427    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
428
429  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
430    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
431
432* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
433  Lynch and "detrito".
434
435* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
436  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
437
438Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
439
440* cavern:
441
442  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
443    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
444    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
445    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
446    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
447
448  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
449
450  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
451
452  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
453    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
454    degrees).
455
456* aven:
457
458  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
459    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
460    Day.
461
462  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
463    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
464
465  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
466    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
467
468  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
469    of the line in cavern log window.
470
471  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
472
473  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
474
475  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
476    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
477    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
478    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
479    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
480
481  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
482    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
483    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
484
485  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
486
487  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
488
489  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
490    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
491    Atkinson and myself.
492
493  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
494
495  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
496    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
497    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
498    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
499    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
500    survey.
501
502  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
503    lines on my netbook.
504
505  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
506    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
507    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
508
509  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
510    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
511    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
512    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
513    glitches.
514
515  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
516    we currently list, though slower to write.
517
518  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
519    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
520
521  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
522    warnings when building against a recent version.
523
524  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
525    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
526    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
527    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
528
529  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
530    movie export.
531
532  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
533    export.
534
535* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
536  James Begley.
537
538* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
539  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
540
541* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
542
543* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
544  messages get used automatically.
545
546* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
547  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
548
549* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
550
551* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
552
553* Use https for more URLs which support it.
554
555Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
556
557* aven:
558
559  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
560    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
561    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
562    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
563    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
564    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
565    probably change in the future).
566
567  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
568    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
569    the survey tree root.
570
571  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
572    the view was recentred).
573
574  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
575    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
576    wrong direction).
577
578  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
579    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
580    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
581
582  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
583    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
584    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
585    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
586
587  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
588    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
589
590  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
591    addresses #60.
592
593  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
594
595  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
596    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
597    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
598
599  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
600
601  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
602    360 or down past 0.
603
604  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
605    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
606    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
607    real-valued ones.
608
609  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
610    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
611
612  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
613    Lynch.
614
615  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
616
617  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
618    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
619
620  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
621    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
622    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
623
624  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
625    should now work.
626
627* cavern:
628
629  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
630
631  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
632    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
633    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
634
635  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
636    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
637    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
638
639  + Fix check for end of version number array in *required.   We would check up
640    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
641    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
642    issue.
643
644  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
645    by patch from Colin Watson.
646
647  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
648
649* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
650
651* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
652  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
653
654* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
655  used in the same dataset.
656
657* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
658  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
659
660* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
661  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
662  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
663
664* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
665
666Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
667
668* aven:
669
670  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
671    cavern again.
672
673* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
674  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
675  location and use the same start menu folder.
676
677* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
678  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
679
680* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
681  by James Begley.
682
683Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
684
685* aven:
686
687  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
688    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
689    to address.
690
691  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
692    over the survey tree.
693
694  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
695
696  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
697    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
698
699  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
700    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
701    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
702    encoded.
703
704  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
705    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
706    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
707    terminals which do still support this.
708
709  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
710    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
711
712* cavern:
713
714  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
715    Edwards (see #78).
716
717  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
718    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
719    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
720    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
721
722  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
723    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
724    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
725
726  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
727    from Pete Smart (see #69).
728
729* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
730  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
731  Black.
732
733* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
734
735* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
736  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
737  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
738  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
739  Black.
740
741* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
742  Black.
743
744* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
745
746* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
747
748* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
749
750* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
751
752* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
753
754* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
755  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
756
757* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
758  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
759  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
760
761* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
762  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
763  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
764  privileges or not.
765
766Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
767
768* aven:
769
770  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
771    Clipstone.
772
773  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
774    Reported by Jenny Black.
775
776  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
777    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
778    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
779
780  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
781    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
782    messages.
783
784  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
785    the terminal in 1.2.23.
786
787* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
788  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
789
790* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
791
792* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
793  by Wookey.
794
795Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
796
797* aven:
798
799  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
800    machines.
801
802  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
803
804  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
805    already being processed.
806
807  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
808    Reported by Martin Green.
809
810  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
811
812* cavern:
813
814  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
815    find the original survey notes).
816
817  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
818    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
819    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
820    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
821    progress display to be useful.
822
823* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
824
825* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
826  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
827
828* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
829  running cavern.
830
831* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
832  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
833  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
834
835Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
836
837* aven:
838
839  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
840    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
841    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
842    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
843    finding this fix.
844
845* cavern:
846
847  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
848
849  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
850    station.
851
852  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
853    *export.
854
855Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
856
857* aven:
858
859  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
860    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
861    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
862
863  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
864
865  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
866    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
867    does.
868
869  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
870    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
871
872  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
873    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
874
875  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
876    as appropriate.
877
878  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
879    values on Windows.
880
881* cavern:
882
883  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
884    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
885    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
886
887  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
888    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
889
890  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
891    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
892    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
893    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
894
895  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
896    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
897    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
898    Atkinson.
899
900  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
901    actual error rather than on a separate line.
902
903  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
904    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
905    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
906    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
907
908  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
909    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
910    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
911
912* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
913  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
914  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
915  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
916
917* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
918
919* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
920  "*DECLINATION" command.
921
922* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
923  Reported by Jenny Black.
924
925* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
926  documentation.
927
928* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
929  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
930
931* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
932
933* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
934
935Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
936
937* aven:
938
939  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
940    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
941    the same or very similar by default.
942
943  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
944    Maynard.
945
946  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
947
948  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
949
950  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
951    away.
952
953  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
954
955  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
956    display it.
957
958* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
959  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
960  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
961  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
962
963* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
964
965* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
966  before 1.2.19.
967
968* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
969  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
970
971* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
972
973* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
974  disk image.
975
976* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
977
978* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
979  libav features we don't use.
980
981* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
982  a load of libav features we don't use.
983
984* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
985  message in the installer.
986
987Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
988
989* aven:
990
991  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
992    the exported file in 1.2.18.
993
994  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
995
996  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
997    exit full screen mode.
998
999  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
1000    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
1001    using since 1.2.7).
1002
1003  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
1004    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
1005    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
1006    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
1007    St. Lawrence.
1008
1009  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
1010    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
1011
1012  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
1013    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
1014    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
1015
1016  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
1017    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
1018    case like we do on other platforms.
1019
1020  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
1021
1022  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
1023    support multi-monitor setups.
1024
1025  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
1026    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
1027
1028  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
1029    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
1030
1031  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
1032    cases.
1033
1034  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
1035    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
1036    Erin Lynch)
1037
1038  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
1039    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
1040    items in in so it uses the full width.
1041
1042  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
1043    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
1044    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
1045    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
1046    window.
1047
1048  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
1049    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
1050    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
1051    only relevant on the first ever run.
1052
1053* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
1054
1055* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
1056  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
1057  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
1058  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
1059  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
1060  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
1061
1062* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
1063  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
1064
1065Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
1066
1067* aven:
1068
1069  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
1070    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
1071    rendering it as a transparent surface.
1072
1073  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
1074    sanely want to perform from the menu.
1075
1076  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
1077    colouring options.
1078
1079  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
1080
1081  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
1082    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
1083    pressing "Escape".
1084
1085  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
1086    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
1087
1088  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
1089    exporting.
1090
1091  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
1092
1093  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
1094    is quite likely to change.
1095
1096  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
1097    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
1098
1099  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
1100    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
1101    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
1102
1103  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
1104
1105  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
1106    markers in orange.
1107
1108  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
1109    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
1110
1111  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
1112    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
1113    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
1114    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
1115    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
1116    them would be better.
1117
1118  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
1119    Gee.
1120
1121  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
1122    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
1123    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
1124
1125  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
1126
1127* cavern:
1128
1129  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
1130    susscorfa).
1131
1132  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
1133    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
1134
1135  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
1136
1137  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
1138    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
1139
1140  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
1141    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
1142
1143* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
1144
1145* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
1146  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
1147  in a modern desktop.
1148
1149* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
1150  the filename in the error message.
1151
1152* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
1153  most complete translations.
1154
1155* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
1156
1157* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
1158  lacks them.
1159
1160* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
1161
1162* Manual:
1163
1164  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
1165    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
1166
1167  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
1168
1169  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
1170
1171  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
1172    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
1173    available for download.
1174
1175* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
1176  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
1177  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
1178
1179* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1180
1181* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
1182
1183Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
1184
1185* MacOS X version:
1186
1187  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
1188
1189  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
1190
1191  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
1192
1193  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
1194
1195  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
1196    currently do this for us.
1197
1198  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
1199
1200  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
1201
1202  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
1203
1204  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
1205    OS X cursor.
1206
1207  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
1208    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
1209    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
1210    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
1211    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
1212    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
1213    with TextEdit.app for example).
1214
1215  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
1216    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
1217
1218  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
1219
1220  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
1221    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
1222
1223  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
1224    Riggs.
1225
1226  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
1227    space.
1228
1229  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
1230
1231  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
1232    10.10.1.
1233
1234  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
1235    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
1236    errors.
1237
1238  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
1239    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
1240    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
1241    wxWidgets build supports by default.
1242
1243  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
1244
1245* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
1246  treat as a single leg.
1247
1248* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
1249
1250* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
1251
1252* aven:
1253
1254  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
1255    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
1256
1257  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
1258    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
1259    1:500).
1260
1261  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
1262    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
1263    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
1264    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
1265
1266  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
1267    there rather than the two animations fighting.
1268
1269  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
1270    fast.
1271
1272  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
1273    when rotating).
1274
1275  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
1276    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
1277
1278* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
1279  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
1280
1281* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
1282
1283* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
1284
1285* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
1286
1287* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
1288
1289* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
1290  we're using git.
1291
1292* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
1293
1294  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
1295    compass.
1296
1297  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
1298
1299  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
1300
1301Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
1302
1303* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
1304
1305* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
1306
1307* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
1308
1309* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
1310  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
1311
1312* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
1313
1314* tests/: Improve test coverage.
1315
1316* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
1317  Greek and Polish.
1318
1319* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
1320  by Martin Sluka.
1321
1322* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
1323  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1324
1325Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
1326
1327* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
1328  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
1329  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
1330  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
1331  for *cs has also been improved.
1332
1333* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
1334  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
1335  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
1336  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
1337
1338* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
1339  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
1340  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
1341  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
1342  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
1343
1344* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
1345  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
1346  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
1347
1348* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
1349
1350* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
1351
1352* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
1353  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
1354  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
1355
1356* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
1357  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
1358
1359Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
1360
1361* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
1362  system in use in 3d v8 files.
1363
1364* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
1365  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
1366  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
1367  export dialog.
1368
1369* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
1370  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
1371  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
1372  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
1373  rather than having one corner there.
1374
1375* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
1376  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
1377
1378* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
1379  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
1380
1381* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
1382  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
1383  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
1384
1385* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
1386  such as 64-bit Linux.
1387
1388* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
1389  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
1390
1391* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
1392  64-bit platforms.
1393
1394* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
1395  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
1396  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
1397
1398* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
1399  the space available in the aven UI.
1400
1401* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
1402  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
1403  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
1404
1405* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
1406  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
1407
1408* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
1409  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
1410  about unconnected surveys.
1411
1412* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
1413  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
1414
1415* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
1416  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
1417  freed memory.
1418
1419* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
1420
1421* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
1422
1423* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
1424
1425* Fix a compiler warning.
1426
1427* Improve test coverage.
1428
1429Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
1430
1431* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
1432  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
1433  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
1434
1435* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
1436  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
1437  Hugh St Lawrence.
1438
1439* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
1440  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
1441  with using aven on a touch screen device.
1442
1443* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
1444  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
1445
1446* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
1447  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
1448
1449* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
1450  off and back on.
1451
1452* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
1453  up time a little.
1454
1455* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
1456  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
1457
1458* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
1459  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
1460  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
1461  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
1462  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
1463  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
1464  situation too.
1465
1466* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
1467  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
1468  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
1469
1470* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
1471
1472* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
1473
1474* Minor translation updates to French.
1475
1476* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
1477
1478* Testsuite improvements:
1479
1480  + Test that "..." anon station works.
1481
1482  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
1483    fail and give an error count.
1484
1485  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
1486
1487Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
1488
1489* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
1490  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
1491  Clipstone.
1492
1493* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
1494
1495* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
1496
1497  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
1498    overlap the scale bar ticks.
1499
1500  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
1501    clipping the border in print preview.
1502
1503  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
1504
1505* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
1506  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
1507
1508* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
1509  available.
1510
1511* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
1512
1513* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
1514
1515* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
1516  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
1517
1518* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
1519  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
1520
1521* Various translation updates.
1522
1523Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
1524
1525* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
1526  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
1527
1528* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
1529  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
1530  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
1531  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
1532
1533* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
1534  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
1535
1536* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
1537  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
1538
1539* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
1540  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
1541
1542* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
1543  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1544
1545* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
1546  box".
1547
1548* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
1549
1550* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
1551  indicators.
1552
1553* aven: All length units are now translatable.
1554
1555* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
1556  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
1557  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
1558
1559* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
1560  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
1561  measurably slower.
1562
1563* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
1564  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
1565
1566* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
1567  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
1568
1569* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
1570  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
1571  from Therion and elsewhere.
1572
1573* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
1574  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
1575  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
1576
1577* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
1578  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
1579
1580* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
1581  A. Riggs for his work on this.
1582
1583* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
1584  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
1585
1586* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
1587
1588* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
1589  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
1590  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
1591  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
1592  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
1593  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1594
1595* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
1596
1597Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
1598
1599* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
1600  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
1601  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
1602  Clipstone.
1603
1604* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
1605  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
1606
1607* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
1608  exported SVG files.
1609
1610* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
1611
1612* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
1613  file.
1614
1615* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
1616  GPX files.
1617
1618* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
1619
1620* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
1621  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
1622
1623* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
1624  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
1625  on startup.
1626
1627* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
1628
1629* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
1630  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
1631  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
1632  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
1633  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
1634  other extensions.
1635
1636* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
1637  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
1638  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
1639  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
1640  timezone wrong.
1641
1642* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
1643
1644* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
1645  'SURVEY DATE:'.
1646
1647* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
1648
1649* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
1650
1651* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
1652  enabled.
1653
1654Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
1655
1656* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
1657
1658* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
1659
1660* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
1661
1662* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
1663  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
1664  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
1665
1666* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
1667  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
1668  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
1669
1670* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
1671  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
1672
1673* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
1674
1675* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
1676
1677* Fix some compiler warnings.
1678
1679Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
1680
1681* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
1682  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
1683  Holder.
1684
1685* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
1686  statistics when the value gets large.
1687
1688* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
1689  equations.
1690
1691* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
1692  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
1693  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
1694  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
1695  better when the "View" box is hidden.
1696
1697* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
1698  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1699
1700* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
1701  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
1702  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
1703  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
1704  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
1705  way is coming soon.
1706
1707* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
1708  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
1709
1710* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
1711  time ago, so update references.
1712
1713* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
1714  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1715
1716* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
1717  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
1718
1719* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
1720  Sebastian Ramacher.
1721
1722* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
1723
1724* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
1725
1726* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
1727
1728* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
1729
1730* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
1731
1732* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
1733  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
1734  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
1735
1736* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
1737
1738* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
1739
1740* img library:
1741
1742  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
1743    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
1744    reading).
1745
1746  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
1747    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
1748
1749  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
1750    support these as an extension.
1751
1752  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
1753
1754* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
1755  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
1756  itself has any translations for.
1757
1758* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
1759
1760* Minor translation updates.
1761
1762* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
1763
1764Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
1765
1766* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
1767  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
1768  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
1769  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
1770  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
1771  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
1772  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
1773  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
1774
1775* New version 8 of the 3d format:
1776
1777  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
1778
1779  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
1780    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
1781
1782  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
1783    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
1784
1785  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
1786
1787  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
1788    human-readable string.
1789
1790  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
1791    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
1792
1793* img library:
1794
1795  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
1796
1797  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
1798    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
1799
1800  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
1801    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
1802    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
1803    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
1804    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
1805    explicitly in the file.
1806
1807  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
1808
1809* aven:
1810
1811  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
1812    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
1813    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
1814    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
1815    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
1816    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
1817
1818  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
1819    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
1820    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
1821    queued up.
1822
1823  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
1824    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
1825
1826  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
1827    them like other legs.
1828
1829  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
1830    station names to positions.
1831
1832  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
1833    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
1834    wrongly.
1835
1836  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
1837
1838  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
1839    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
1840    that's used by the desktop).
1841
1842  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
1843
1844  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
1845    error from cavern.
1846
1847  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
1848
1849  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
1850    in the dialog in sync.
1851
1852* cavern:
1853
1854  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
1855    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
1856    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
1857
1858  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
1859    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
1860
1861  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
1862    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
1863    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
1864    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
1865    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
1866    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
1867    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
1868    degrees.
1869
1870  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
1871    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
1872    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
1873
1874  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
1875
1876  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
1877    warnings.
1878
1879  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
1880    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
1881
1882  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
1883    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
1884
1885  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
1886    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
1887    relevant.
1888
1889  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
1890    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
1891    the same line.
1892
1893  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
1894    "End of line not blank" error.
1895
1896  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
1897    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
1898
1899  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
1900    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
1901
1902  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
1903    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
1904    include that character in the token reported.
1905
1906  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
1907    first item.
1908
1909* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
1910
1911* dump3d:
1912
1913  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
1914    info from 3d files in scripts.
1915
1916  + Add --show-dates option.
1917
1918  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
1919
1920  + Report the data style of legs.
1921
1922  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
1923
1924  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
1925
1926* Test suite:
1927
1928  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
1929    expected output so it passes reliably.
1930
1931  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
1932    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
1933
1934  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
1935    for more.
1936
1937* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
1938  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
1939  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
1940
1941* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
1942  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
1943
1944* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
1945  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
1946
1947* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
1948  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
1949  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
1950  settings.
1951
1952* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
1953  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
1954  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
1955  set correctly.
1956
1957* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
1958  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
1959  them to translate.
1960
1961* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
1962  close to complete.
1963
1964* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
1965
1966* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
1967
1968* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
1969
1970Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
1971
1972* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
1973
1974* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
1975  package (ticket#35).
1976
1977* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
1978  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
1979  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
1980
1981* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
1982  Kahler.
1983
1984* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
1985  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
1986  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
1987  libproj and build survex with:
1988
1989      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1990      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1991
1992* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
1993
1994* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
1995
1996* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
1997  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
1998  file".
1999
2000Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
2001
2002* aven:
2003
2004  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
2005
2006  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
2007    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
2008
2009  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
2010
2011  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
2012
2013  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
2014    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
2015
2016* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
2017  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
2018  error early on).
2019
2020* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
2021  the man page source as well as in the filename.
2022
2023Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
2024
2025* aven:
2026
2027  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
2028    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
2029    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
2030    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
2031
2032  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
2033    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
2034
2035  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
2036
2037  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
2038
2039  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
2040
2041* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
2042
2043Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
2044
2045* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
2046
2047* (Mac OS X version):
2048
2049  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
2050
2051  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
2052
2053  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
2054    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
2055
2056  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
2057
2058* aven:
2059
2060  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
2061
2062  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
2063
2064    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
2065      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
2066      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
2067      character.
2068
2069    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
2070      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
2071      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
2072      and two in a few cases.
2073
2074    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
2075      8 pixels.
2076
2077  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
2078    draw crosses.
2079
2080  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
2081    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
2082    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
2083    is the start or end of a tube.
2084
2085  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
2086    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
2087
2088  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
2089    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
2090    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
2091
2092* extend:
2093
2094  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
2095
2096  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
2097    which means "no info").
2098
2099* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
2100  was no longer used - it certainly is!
2101
2102* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
2103  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
2104  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
2105  current character set.
2106
2107* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
2108
2109* Test suite:
2110
2111  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
2112
2113  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
2114
2115Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
2116
2117* aven:
2118
2119  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
2120    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
2121    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
2122    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
2123    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
2124    usable format.
2125
2126  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
2127    files.  (ticket#26)
2128
2129  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
2130    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
2131
2132  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
2133    using lines.
2134
2135  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
2136    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
2137
2138  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
2139    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
2140    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
2141    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
2142
2143  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
2144    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
2145    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
2146
2147  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
2148    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
2149    in 1.2.1.
2150
2151Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
2152
2153* Translation updates for US English.
2154
2155* aven:
2156
2157  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
2158    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
2159
2160  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
2161
2162  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
2163    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
2164    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
2165    visually similar to the survey legs.
2166
2167  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
2168    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
2169
2170  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
2171    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
2172    does still provide some useful information).
2173
2174  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
2175    a depth band boundary.
2176
2177  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
2178    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
2179    full-screen mode).
2180
2181  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
2182    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
2183    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
2184    are a little better, though still not perfect.
2185
2186  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
2187    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
2188
2189  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
2190    that station.
2191
2192  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
2193    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
2194
2195  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
2196    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
2197    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
2198    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
2199    a case as it is a bug).
2200
2201  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
2202    invalidated on window width or height changes.
2203
2204  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
2205    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
2206    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
2207    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
2208
2209  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
2210    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
2211    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
2212    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
2213    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
2214    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
2215    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
2216
2217  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
2218    similarly for other compass points.
2219
2220  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
2221    info in the "About" dialog.
2222
2223  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
2224    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
2225
2226  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
2227    as well as still working with older versions.
2228
2229  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
2230    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
2231
2232  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
2233    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
2234    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
2235    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
2236    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
2237
2238  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
2239    nicer and make better use of the available space.
2240
2241  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
2242    dialog.
2243
2244  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
2245    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
2246
2247  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
2248    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
2249
2250  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
2251
2252  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
2253
2254  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
2255    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
2256    being pressed and toggle full screen.
2257
2258* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
2259  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
2260
2261* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
2262
2263* More messages are now available to be translated.
2264
2265* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
2266  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
2267
2268* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
2269
2270* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
2271  sudo for installing on Unix.
2272
2273* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
2274  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
2275
2276* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
2277  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
2278
2279* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2280
2281Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
2282
2283* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
2284  English.
2285
2286* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
2287  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
2288  case.
2289
2290* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
2291  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
2292  these into Survex's .msg format.
2293
2294* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
2295  an actual command).
2296
2297* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
2298  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
2299  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
2300  recurrence of that).
2301
2302* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
2303  than /usr/doc/survex.
2304
2305* aven:
2306
2307  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
2308
2309  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
2310    nicer at larger sizes.
2311
2312  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
2313    with GLX >= 1.3.
2314
2315  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
2316
2317  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
2318    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
2319    required libraries set up for building releases.
2320
2321  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
2322
2323  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
2324
2325  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
2326    rendered with icons on some platforms.
2327
2328  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
2329    ISO8859-1).
2330
2331  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
2332    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
2333
2334  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
2335    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
2336
2337* cavern:
2338
2339  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
2340    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
2341    fatal error!
2342
2343  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
2344    format to output.  (ticket#21)
2345
2346* img library:
2347
2348  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
2349    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
2350
2351* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
2352  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
2353
2354Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
2355
2356* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
2357  Portuguese, and US English.
2358
2359* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
2360  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
2361
2362* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
2363  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
2364
2365* img.c:
2366
2367  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
2368
2369  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
2370
2371* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
2372
2373* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
2374  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
2375  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
2376  translated.
2377
2378Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
2379
2380* aven:
2381
2382  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
2383    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
2384
2385  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
2386    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
2387    addresses ticket#12.
2388
2389  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
2390    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
2391    consistent shape.
2392
2393  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
2394    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
2395    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
2396    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
2397
2398  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
2399    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
2400
2401  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
2402
2403  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
2404    more places.
2405
2406  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
2407    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
2408
2409* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
2410
2411* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
2412  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
2413
2414* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
2415
2416* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
2417  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
2418  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
2419  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
2420  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
2421  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
2422
2423* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
2424  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
2425  redirecting to it.
2426
2427* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
2428  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
2429  I/O).
2430
2431* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
2432  headers.
2433
2434* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
2435
2436* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
2437  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
2438
2439* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
2440
2441Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
2442
2443* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
2444
2445* aven:
2446
2447  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
2448    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
2449    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
2450    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
2451
2452  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
2453
2454  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
2455    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
2456    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
2457    a number.
2458
2459  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
2460    log window.
2461
2462  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
2463    various cases.
2464
2465  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
2466    (ticket#9)
2467
2468  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
2469    namespace with its own "Point" class.
2470
2471  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
2472    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
2473
2474  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
2475
2476  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
2477    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
2478
2479* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
2480  give them before.
2481
2482* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
2483  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
2484  point looking for them now.
2485
2486* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
2487  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
2488  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
2489  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
2490
2491* manual:
2492
2493  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
2494
2495  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
2496    (change taken from 1.0).
2497
2498* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
2499
2500Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
2501
2502* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
2503
2504* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
2505
2506* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
2507
2508* aven:
2509
2510  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
2511
2512  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
2513    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
2514    seem to be Unicode now).
2515
2516  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
2517    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
2518
2519  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
2520    text on the survey pane:
2521
2522    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
2523
2524    - Character spacing is improved.
2525
2526    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
2527
2528  + "About" dialog:
2529
2530    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
2531      bug reporting.
2532
2533    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
2534      modern gfx card.
2535
2536    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
2537
2538  + Processing .svx files:
2539
2540    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
2541
2542    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
2543      than opening a separate frame for it.
2544
2545    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
2546
2547    - Fix small memory leak.
2548
2549  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
2550    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
2551    such a name.
2552
2553  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
2554
2555  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
2556    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
2557    invocations.
2558
2559  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
2560
2561  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
2562
2563  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
2564
2565* Documentation:
2566
2567  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
2568
2569  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
2570    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
2571    together isn't very useful.
2572
2573  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
2574
2575  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
2576    the FSF website.
2577
2578  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
2579    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
2580    the source code.
2581
2582* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
2583  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
2584
2585* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
2586  package from the source tarball.
2587
2588* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
2589  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
2590
2591Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
2592
2593* aven:
2594
2595  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
2596
2597  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
2598
2599  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
2600    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
2601    names/crosses).
2602
2603Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
2604
2605* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
2606
2607* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
2608
2609* aven:
2610
2611  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
2612
2613  + Fix character spacing.
2614
2615  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
2616    proportional fonts.
2617
2618  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
2619    rather than the filename.
2620
2621  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
2622
2623  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
2624    depth colouring.
2625
2626  + Add "Colour by Error".
2627
2628  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
2629
2630  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
2631
2632  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
2633
2634  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
2635
2636  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
2637
2638  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
2639
2640  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
2641
2642  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
2643    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
2644
2645  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
2646
2647  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
2648    default.
2649
2650* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
2651  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
2652
2653* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
2654  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
2655
2656* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
2657
2658* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
2659
2660Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
2661
2662* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
2663  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
2664  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
2665  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
2666  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
2667
2668* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
2669  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
2670  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
2671
2672* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
2673  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
2674  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
2675
2676* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
2677  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
2678  allowed).
2679
2680* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
2681
2682* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
2683
2684* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
2685
2686Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
2687
2688* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
2689  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
2690
2691* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
2692  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
2693  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
2694
2695* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
2696  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
2697  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
2698  the new "*data passage" style.
2699
2700* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
2701  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
2702
2703* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
2704  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
2705  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
2706  some cases.
2707
2708* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
2709  with no survey loaded.
2710
2711* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
2712
2713* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
2714  loaded a survey.
2715
2716* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
2717
2718* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
2719
2720* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
2721  doesn't exist.
2722
2723* Updated French and Italian translations.
2724
2725* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
2726  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
2727
2728* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
2729  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
2730  update their copy).
2731
2732* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
2733  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
2734  trying to compile).
2735
2736Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
2737
2738* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
2739  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
2740
2741* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
2742  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
2743  has been disabled.
2744
2745* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
2746  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
2747  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
2748  time.
2749
2750* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
2751  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
2752  highlighted stations.
2753
2754* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
2755
2756* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
2757  the tilt from plan to elevation.
2758
2759* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
2760  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
2761
2762* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
2763  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
2764  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
2765
2766* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
2767  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
2768
2769* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
2770
2771* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
2772
2773* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
2774
2775* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
2776  run by an unprivileged user.
2777
2778* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
2779  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
2780  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
2781
2782* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
2783  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
2784
2785* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
2786
2787* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
2788  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
2789
2790* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
2791  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
2792
2793* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
2794  if it isn't.
2795
2796* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
2797  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
2798
2799* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
2800  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
2801
2802* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
2803  reset to default view as well).
2804
2805* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
2806  empty.
2807
2808* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
2809  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
2810
2811* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
2812  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
2813  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
2814
2815* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
2816  and non-zero width lines.
2817
2818* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
2819  was turned on.
2820
2821* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
2822  not always being fully written.
2823
2824Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
2825
2826* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
2827  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
2828  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
2829  date near the middle of that period).
2830
2831* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
2832  with MS Windows).
2833
2834* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
2835  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
2836  several surveys in the same directory).
2837
2838* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
2839  our check for them to include that knowledge.
2840
2841* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
2842
2843* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
2844  moved off a station.
2845
2846* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
2847  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
2848
2849* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
2850
2851* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
2852  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
2853
2854* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
2855  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
2856  dialogs.
2857
2858* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
2859  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
2860
2861* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
2862  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
2863  introduced in 1.1.6).
2864
2865* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
2866  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
2867  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
2868
2869* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
2870  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
2871
2872* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
2873
2874* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
2875
2876Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
2877
2878* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
2879  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
2880
2881* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
2882  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
2883  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
2884  3d file.
2885
2886* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
2887
2888* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
2889
2890* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
2891  Instead turn off depth colouring.
2892
2893* aven: Export as HPGL added.
2894
2895* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
2896  Martin Green).
2897
2898* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
2899  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
2900  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
2901
2902* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
2903
2904* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
2905  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
2906
2907* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
2908  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
2909  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
2910  of everything else.
2911
2912* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
2913  presentation icons.
2914
2915* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
2916  keyboard focus there.
2917
2918* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
2919
2920* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
2921
2922* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
2923
2924* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
2925
2926* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
2927  language to use for messages.
2928
2929* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
2930  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
2931
2932* Removed old printer drivers.
2933
2934* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
2935  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
2936
2937Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
2938
2939* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
2940
2941* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
2942
2943* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
2944  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
2945
2946* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
2947  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
2948
2949* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
2950
2951* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
2952  underground legs is toggled.
2953
2954* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
2955  attached to the previous data.
2956
2957* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
2958  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
2959  them.
2960
2961Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
2962
2963* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
2964
2965* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
2966  continental European countries).
2967
2968* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
2969  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
2970  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
2971
2972* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
2973
2974* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
2975  they're needed.
2976
2977* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
2978
2979* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
2980
2981* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
2982
2983* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
2984  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
2985  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
2986
2987* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
2988
2989Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
2990
2991* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
2992
2993* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
2994
2995* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
2996
2997* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
2998
2999* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
3000
3001* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
3002
3003* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
3004  when there's a presentation loaded.
3005
3006* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
3007  in cave view.
3008
3009* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
3010
3011* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
3012  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
3013  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
3014
3015* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
3016  filename for file history and window title.
3017
3018* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
3019  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
3020  only needed with GTK1.2.
3021
3022* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
3023
3024* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
3025
3026* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
3027
3028* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
3029
3030Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
3031
3032* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
3033  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
3034  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
3035
3036* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
3037  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
3038
3039* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
3040  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
3041  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
3042  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
3043
3044* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
3045
3046* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
3047  with --help and --version.
3048
3049* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
3050  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
3051  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
3052  Fixed all these problems.
3053
3054* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
3055  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
3056  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
3057
3058* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
3059  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
3060  sources.
3061
3062* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
3063
3064* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
3065
3066* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
3067  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
3068
3069* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
3070  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
3071  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
3072  animating.
3073
3074* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
3075
3076* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
3077
3078* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
3079  to this branch.
3080
3081* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
3082
3083  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
3084
3085  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
3086
3087  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
3088
3089* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
3090
3091* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
3092  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
3093
3094* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
3095
3096* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
3097  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
3098
3099* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
3100
3101* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
3102  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
3103  for anyone building from CVS).
3104
3105* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
3106
3107* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
3108
3109* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
3110
3111* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
3112
3113* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
3114  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
3115  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
3116
3117* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
3118  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
3119
3120* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
3121
3122* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
3123  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
3124  loaded).
3125
3126* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
3127
3128Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
3129
3130* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
3131  startup.
3132
3133* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
3134  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
3135
3136Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
3137
3138* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
3139  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
3140  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
3141
3142* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
3143  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
3144  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
3145
3146* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
3147  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
3148  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
3149
3150* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
3151
3152* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
3153  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
3154
3155* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
3156  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
3157
3158* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
3159  better use of screen space.
3160
3161* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
3162
3163* aven: Perspective view.
3164
3165* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
3166
3167* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
3168  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
3169
3170* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
3171  and load/save/run them.
3172
3173* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
3174
3175* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
3176
3177* aven: Depth fogging option.
3178
3179* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
3180
3181* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
3182
3183* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
3184  showing the surface legs.
3185
3186* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
