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52  + Replace very out of date information about binary RPM packages.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

3915* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
3916  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
3917
3918Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
3919
3920* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
3921  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
3922  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
3923
3924* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
3925  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
3926  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
3927
3928* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
3929  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
3930  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
3931
3932* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
3933
3934* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
3935  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
3936
3937* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
3938  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
3939
3940* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
3941  better use of screen space.
3942
3943* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
3944
3945* aven: Perspective view.
3946
3947* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
3948
3949* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
3950  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
3951
3952* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
3953  and load/save/run them.
3954
3955* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
3956
3957* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
3958
3959* aven: Depth fogging option.
3960
3961* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
3962
3963* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
3964
3965* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
3966  showing the surface legs.
3967
3968* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
