Line 
1* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
2  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
3  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
4  3d file.
5
6* aven: Export as HPGL added.
7
8* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
9  Martin Green).
10
11* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
12  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
13  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
14
15* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
16  Instead turn off depth colouring.
17
18* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
19
20* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
21
22* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
23
24* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
25  language to use for messages.
26
27* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
28  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
29
30* Removed old printer drivers.
31
32* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
33
34Changes in 1.1.5:
35
36* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
37
38* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
39
40* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
41  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
42
43* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
44  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
45 
46* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
47
48* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
49  underground legs is toggled.
50
51* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
52  attached to the previous data.
53
54* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
55  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
56  them.
57
58Changes in 1.1.4:
59
60* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
61
62* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
63  continental European countries).
64
65* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
66  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
67  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
68
69* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
70
71* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
72  they're needed.
73
74* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
75
76* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
77
78* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
79
80* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
81  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
82  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
83
84* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
85
86Changes in 1.1.3:
87
88* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
89
90* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
91
92* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
93
94* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
95
96* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
97
98* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
99
100* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
101  when there's a presentation loaded.
102
103* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
104  in cave view.
105
106* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
107
108* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
109  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
110  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
111
112* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
113  filename for file history and window title.
114
115* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
116  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
117  only needed with GTK1.2.
118
119* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
120
121* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
122
123* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
124
125* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
126
127Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
128
129* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
130  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
131  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
132
133* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
134  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
135
136* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
137  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
138  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
139  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
140
141* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
142
143* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
144  with --help and --version.
145
146* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
147  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
148  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
149  Fixed all these problems.
150
151* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
152  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
153  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
154
155* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
156  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
157  sources.
158
159* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
160
161* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
162
163* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
164  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
165
166* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
167  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
168  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
169  animating.
170
171* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
172
173* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
174
175* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
176  to this branch.
177
178* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
179
180  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
181
182  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
183
184  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
185
186* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
187
188* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
189  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
190
191* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
192
193* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
194  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
195
196* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
197
198* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
199  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
200  for anyone building from CVS).
201
202* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
203
204* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
205
206* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
207
208* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
209
210* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
211  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
212  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
213
214* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
215  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
216
217* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
218
219* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
220  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
221  loaded).
222
223* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
224
225Changes in 1.1.1:
226
227* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
228  startup.
229
230* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
231  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
232
233Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0:
234
235* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
236  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
237  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
238
239* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
240  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
241  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
242
243* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
244  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
245  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
246
247* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
248
249* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
250  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
251
252* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
253  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
254
255* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
256  better use of screen space.
257
258* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
259
260* aven: Perspective view.
261
262* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
263
264* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
265  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
266
267* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
268  and load/save/run them.
269
270* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
271
272* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
273
274* aven: Depth fogging option.
275
276* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
277
278* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
279
280* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
281  showing the surface legs.
282
283* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
284
285Changes in 1.0.32:
286
287* aven: Fixed font sizes in "Print Preview" and printouts.
288
289* aven: In the print setup dialog, replaced "Orientation" radio buttons with
290  "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons.
291
292* aven: Fixed info box on printouts of elevations, tilted views, and
293  extend elevations.
294
295* aven: Added "fit on one page" option, and make it the default.
296
297* aven: Reorder "Cancel", "Preview", "Print" buttons and make "Print" the
298  default button.
299
300* aven: Read settings back from the print dialog when the "Print" button is
301  pressed (was only done for "Preview" previously).
302
303* aven: Sorted out the initial size of the "Print Preview" window.
304
305* aven: Fixed the window manager's close button on the "Print Preview" window
306  - previously this was being ignored.
307
308* aven: Sorted out initial survey scaling when loading a survey at startup.
309
310* aven: Fixed the measuring line to work better when the survey tree is
311  manipulated with keys.  Tweaked redrawing of the measuring line to be a
312  smidgen more efficient.  Fixed the blob and ring size which were one
313  pixel too small on Windows.
314
315* aven: Added "System Information:" section to the "About" dialog to hold
316  information useful when reporting bugs.  Currently it contains the wxWindows
317  version, OS version, and colour depth information.
318
319* aven: Changed the "About" dialog's "Close" button to be "OK" for consistency
320  with pretty much every other application.
321
322* aven: Added "File->Export as..." which integrates cad3d's functionality
323  within aven.
324
325* aven: Updated a few icons.
326
327* cad3d: Added SVG export support from John Pybus
328
329* (Unix version): Fixed to allow compilation with GCC 3.4
330
331* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to using innosetup 4 for the installer
332  (we were using innosetup 2).  This results in a much smaller download
333  and the installer now translates itself into the currently set language.
334  The installer will no longer work on Windows NT 3.51, but I seriously
335  doubt anyone is still using that...
336
337* Updates to German translation.
338
339Changes in 1.0.31:
340
341* (MS Windows version): Fixed problems with the new printing code by building
342  with a newer version of wxWindows (2.5.2 instead of 2.4.1).
343
344* aven: Fixed grid menu item so that it always correctly reflects whether the
345  grid is enabled or not.
346
347* aven: Minor improvements to appearance of a few toolbar icons.
348
349* Updates to Catalan, French, Italian, Romanian, Slovak, and Spanish
350  translations.
351
352* cavern: Fixed Romanian message which was appearing in English .err files.
353
354Changes in 1.0.30:
355
356* aven: Added printing directly from Aven!
357
358* aven: Fixed memory leak when showing the "About" dialog.
359
360* (MacOS X version): Now installable from a disk image package.
361
362* cavern: Equates are no longer considered when deciding which stations are
363  flagged as surface and underground.
364
365* Romanian translation mostly completed.
366
367* (Unix version): Debian: Minor packaging tweaks.
368
369Changes in 1.0.29:
370
371* cad3d: Fixed problem with DXF files which stopped them loading with some
372  drawing packages (introduced in 1.0.27).
373
374* aven: Changed File->Exit to File->Quit.
375
376* Removed some unused messages from the message files.
377
378* (Unix version): Fixed SRPMs to build on RedHat 9 and Fedora Core 1 (patch
379  from John Pybus).
380
381* Romanian translation started.
382
383* (Unix version): Debian: Fixed new lintian warnings about missing quotes in
384  menu files.
385
386Changes in 1.0.28:
387
388* Fixed 3d file reading code to fix incorrect unpacking of compressed station
389  names in a rare case.  Also checked other rare cases work correctly.
390
391Changes in 1.0.27:
392
393* cad3d: DXF output now puts surface legs, stations, and labels in separate
394  layers.
395
396* (Unix version): distribute desc-svxedit.txt.
397
398Changes in 1.0.26:
399
400* cavern: Fixed interleaved topofil data style - the length was always being
401  calculated as zero.
402
403* (Unix version): aven: "All Files" now shows files without extensions too.
404
405* aven: added Ctrl+Q as shortcut for File->Exit.
406
407* aven: depth colouring now uses a proper colour gradient.
408
409* (MacOS X version): aven: the keyboard and mouse now work!  It turns out that
410  we must apply resources *after* installing.
411
412* (MacOS X version): aven: now works when run from the MacOS X Finder.
413
414* (MacOS X version): look for message files and other resources relative to the
415  binaries so that the user can install Survex from a disk image in the location
416  of their choice.
417
418* (MacOS X version): fixed not to try to build aven if wxWindows isn't
419  installed.
420
421* cad3d: fixed -e and -r options to not crash (the long versions have always
422  worked).
423
424* extend: fixed to initialise an internal structure - failing to do so was
425  probably causing crashes on some platforms.
426
427* Fixed standard graphics for "Note", "Warning", etc in the PostScript manual.
428
429* Documentation updated.
430
431* (Unix version): fixed svxedit man page which previously contained xcaverot
432  documentation!
433
434* test suite: check that cavern doesn't report "nan" or "NaN" for any values.
435
436* (Unix version): fixed configure --enable-defaultlang=XX to work.
437
438* (Unix version): fixed configure code to turn on lots of GCC warnings and fixed
439  most of them.
440
441* (MS Windows version): assorted tweaks to allow building with MS Visual C/C++.
442
443Changes in 1.0.25:
444
445* (MacOS X version): hopefully fixed building of aven.
446
447* (Unix version): updated config.guess and config.sub so should build out of
448  the box on more Unix platforms.
449
450* (Unix version): Debian: added missing Build-Depends on xlibs-dev.
451
452* (Unix version): RPMs: give up supplying binary RPMs due to apparently
453  insurmountable technical problems.
454
455Changes in 1.0.24:
456
457* cavern: fixed LEVEL (broken since around 1.0.8) and added test case.
458
459* cavern: corrected handling of declination in Compass DAT files and added test
460  case; also added tests for other aspects of Compass DAT file reading.
461
462* printps/printpcl: fixed blank page detection in some obscure cases.
463
464* Documentation: started manual section on working with Compass data files.
465
466* (Unix version): fixed compilation problems with aven and getopt.h on MacOS X
467  (and probably some other Unix versions).
468
469* (Unix version): Debian package now Build-Depends on gcc-3.2 and g++-3.2.
470
471Changes in 1.0.23:
472
473* Documentation: include 3d v3 file format description on MS Windows, MS DOS,
474  and RISC OS too; include PNG graphics for manual on MS Windows; minor updates
475  to manual.
476
477* Prefer wxWindows 2.4 if it's available.
478
479* (MacOS X version): detect MacOS X and look for MacOS X build of wxWindows;
480  automatically add resource fork to aven binary.
481
482* Disabled experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - it isn't currently
483  working and makes the printer drivers unusable on Chinese versions of MS
484  Windows.
485
486* (Unix version): tweaked debian packaging.
487
488* cavern: Handling of "*:" at start of file wasn't fully fixed in 1.0.19.
489
490Changes in 1.0.22:
491
492* aven: Fixed handling of extended elevations (and other flat surveys) -
493  they are meant to be "locked flat" but this wasn't fully working before.
494
495* Documentation: 3d v3 file format description: fixed error in description of
496  codes 0x01-0x0e; include it in binary packages (not only with the source
497  code).
498
499Changes in 1.0.21:
500
501* cavern: when reading Compass DAT files, we now processes compass and clino
502  backsights, and recognise the "X" flag which indicates a leg should be
503  entirely ignored.  And we now report correct line number with errors in
504  Compass .MAK files.
505
506* cavern: if "*infer plumbs on", don't infer a plumb if the clino is
507  +/- 90 degrees, but the backclino isn't (and vice versa).
508
509* cavern: fixed 3dx output so it actually works with Chasm once more.
510
511* cavern: don't allocate extra space needed for producing 3dx output for
512  Chasm unless we're actually producing that output - saves about 8 bytes
513  per station.
514
515* cavern: removed slightly too keen sanity check which could misfire in very
516  unusual circumstances.
517
518* (MS Windows version): all .ico files except 3d.ico have been missing since
519  1.0.17 (or maybe 1.0.16) - fixed.  You wouldn't notice this if you installed
520  over an previous version.
521
522Changes in 1.0.20:
523
524* aven: update display when "Metric" or "Degrees" is toggled.
525
526* cavern: fixed handling of compass and clino corrections in Compass survey
527  data - these were interpreted as radians rather than degrees so the
528  correction was about 57 times too large!)
529
530* Improved handling of Compass PLT files - if the survey name is empty, don't
531  insert a survey separator character.
532
533* Documentation: fixed incorrect markup which resulted in a bogus footnote.
534
535Changes in 1.0.19:
536
537* cavern: you can now process Compass format survey data (.DAT and .MAK files) -
538  these can even be linked into a Survex dataset with "*include fulford.dat" or
539  "*include lech.mak" to allow processing of mixed datasets.
540
541* cavern: major speedup (up to 60%) when reading in survey data containing
542  a lot of stations in the same survey hierarchy level (which is how Compass
543  files are handled).
544
545* cavern: don't warn about a compass reading on a plumbed leg if the
546  plumb was inferred and the compass reading is zero.
547
548* cavern: reduced memory usage in code which reads a survey station name.
549
550* cavern: reported CPU time would go negative if cavern ran for more than
551  about 36 minutes (highly unlikely but not impossible on a slow machine
552  with a large, highly interconnect survey) - fixed.
553
554* cavern: avoid unnecessary work when --percentage isn't specified.
555
556* cavern: Writing "*:" at the start of a .svx file would crash cavern - fixed
557  and added test case.  This is an error anyway, but it shouldn't cause a
558  crash.
559
560* Don't distribute unused toolbar icons.
561
562* Documentation: minor updates.
563
564Changes in 1.0.18:
565
566* (Unix version): Fixed "Process" action on .svx files.
567
568* (Unix version): File associations: if svxedit isn't installed, run gnome-edit
569  instead.
570
571* (Unix version): In Debian packages, now include file associations and file
572  icons in the survex package rather than survex-aven.
573
574* (Unix version): File associations were missing from RPM packages; moved
575  aven and svxedit man pages to their respective subpackages; moved aven icons
576  to the aven subpackage.
577
578* Documentation: added details of the 3d file format (version 3).
579
580* Updated TODO list.
581
582Changes in 1.0.17:
583
584* (MS Windows version): Fixed "Open in SvxEdit" to work (and if tcl isn't
585  install this action now falls back to using notepad).  SvxEdit now has
586  its own icon.
587
588* (Unix version): Install mime types, icons, and file associations for Gnome.
589  Note: at present GMC doesn't seem to notice new files being created (e.g.
590  Process on a .svx file creates .3d and .err files) - you have to manually
591  refresh the view.
592
593* Minor update to manual.
594
595Changes in 1.0.16:
596
597* (MS Windows version): Really fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
598  programs from finding the message files.
599
600* (MS Windows version): Remove any existing "Open" file association for .svx
601  files.
602
603Changes in 1.0.15:
604
605* (MS Windows version): Fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
606  programs from finding the message files.
607
608* (MS Windows version): "Open in Notepad" is now the double-click action
609  for .svx files once again, "Open in SvxEdit" is an action in the menu
610  obtained with the right mouse button.
611
612Changes in 1.0.14:
613
614* svxedit: This is a Survex data entry editor from the therion team.  It needs
615  tcl and wish installed - for MS Windows an installer is available for free
616  from Activeware.
617
618* Improved handling of Compass PLT files and CMAP xyz files - no longer change
619  dots to spaces in survey and station names - instead use a space as the
620  separator between survey name and station name.
621
622* aven: when picking non-overlapping labels, show a slight preference to shorter
623  labels with the aim of displaying more labels.
624
625* aven: fixed hard to notice problem which could cause the cave to appear
626  tilted sideways after a lot of manipulation.
627
628* cavern: Modest speed improvement (0.5% for sample dataset).
629
630* cavern: fixed a rarely sighted bug which caused erroneous error about some
631  stations not being attached to a fixed point.
632
633* cavern: fixed clino readings and DIRECTION to work in interleaved data.
634
635* cavern: improved error reporting when an invalid value is given for a
636  DIRECTION reading.
637
638* cavern: fixed "singular matrix" error when very low SDs were specified.
639
640* print*: if the --raw is used, the survey can now use the space this would
641  have taken up.
642
643* Reading of ASCII 3d files now copes with MSDOS/MS Windows line endings
644  once again.  Added regression test for this.
645
646* (MS Windows version): Programs run from the command line now find message
647  files without SURVEXHOME needing to be set.
648
649* Updated documentation.
650
651Changes in 1.0.13:
652
653* aven: Fixed bug which caused the occasional spurious leg to be shown
654  connecting arbitrary stations.
655
656* extend: try to extend along a survey, and make breaks where other surveys
657  join.
658
659* cavern: Number reading code reworked to allow repeat readings to be
660  supported, but the actual repeat reading code is currently disabled,
661  and everything should work exactly as before.
662
663* Experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - only a few messages are
664  currently translated.
665
666Changes in 1.0.12:
667
668* diffpos: fixed to work on 64bit architectures.
669
670* sorterr: fixed to work with more than 1024 traverses.
671
672* Fixed handling of iso-8859-2 character set and MS Windows code page 1250
673  (both cover Eastern European languages).
674
675* (MS Windows version): install file associations for Compass .plt and .plf
676  files and for CMAP .xyz files.  Also install the file icon for .plt and
677  .plf files in case Compass isn't installed (thanks to Larry Fish for
678  permission to include the icon).
679
680* (Unix version): running an installed program with an explicit path works
681  again.
682
683* (Unix version): xcaverot: automatically switch on PDA mode if the screen is
684  less than 640 pixels wide or less than 480 pixels high.
685
686* (Unix version): minor portability improvements.
687
688* Updates to Portuguese translation - all translations are now up-to-date.
689
690Changes in 1.0.11:
691
692* aven: improvements in 1.0.10 to the file type selector only work properly
693  on MS Windows, and with wxGtk >= 2.3 on Unix (the latest stable release is
694  2.2.9 where this doesn't work).  Fixed to work as well as possible on 2.2.9,
695  and as intended on 2.3.
696
697* aven: fixed so that loading PLT files works regardless of the current locale
698  (previously it would fail for locales where the decimal character wasn't
699  '.').
700
701* aven: key actions during autorotation no longer temporarily pause
702  autorotation.
703
704* aven: switching to plan or elevation while rotating is now smooth.
705
706* aven: removed undocumented and confusing "free rotation mode".
707
708* (MS Windows version): aven: focus now set correctly after loading a file by
709  double-clicking or from the command line.
710
711* cad3d: write dummy passage dimensions to .plt files to avoid Compass bug.
712
713* printwin/printps: now support coloured printouts.
714
715* print*: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
716
717* extend: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
718
719* Updates to Italian translation.
720
721* Minor documentation updates.
722
723Changes in 1.0.10:
724
725* (MS Windows version): aven: fixed assert failure upon turning on station
726  names.
727
728* aven: only add a file to the list of recently used files if it was opened
729  successfully.
730
731* aven: recognise ".plf" as a Compass PLT file too; and on Unix list "*.PLT",
732  "*.PLF", "*.XYZ", and "*.3D" as well as the lowercase versions to help people
733  who transfer files from MSDOS/MS Windows.
734
735* cavern: fixed bogus warning triggered by "*begin abc.def" (I'm not sure
736  that this should be valid, but the warning given wasn't appropriate).
737
738* Fixed scaling problem when reading PLT file (feet->metres conversion
739  factor was being applied backwards!)
740
741* Fixed potential problem when reading or writing a 3d file which couldn't
742  be opened.
743
744* Translate dots to spaces in survey names in Compass PLT files.
745
746* Better handling of PLT files which have a D command before any M command.
747
748* Updates to German and Italian translations.
749
750Changes in 1.0.9:
751
752* aven: Fixed jerky start when auto-rotation begins.
753
754* cavern: Fixed Direction reading - bug previously made it unusable.
755
756* (MS Windows version): cad3d: fixed broken PLT output (had a double CR at the
757  end of each line).
758
759* (Unix version): RPMs now have the docs in /usr/share/doc and the man pages
760  in /usr/share/man to conform with the FHS (and where RedHat packages put
761  them).
762
763* Updates to French, Spanish, Catalan, and Slovak translations.
764
765Changes in 1.0.8:
766
767* Slovak translation added; updated German, Catalan, and Spanish translations.
768
769* aven: reduced memory usage by around 25% and increased speed and
770  responsiveness.
771
772* aven: rate of rotation and switching between plan and elevation now adjusted
773  to the speed of redraw, so aven behaves in a similar way independent of the
774  speed of the computer or size of the survey.
775
776* aven: provide list of most recently loaded files (preserved between runs of
777  the program).
778
779* aven: settings for "Metric" and "Degrees" are preserved between runs.
780
781* aven: moved some menu items from "View" to "Controls" as they probably
782  belong there and the "View" menu was getting out of hand.
783
784* aven: cursor keys now translate cave in the same way the mouse does (i.e. now
785  work as in caverot and xcaverot).
786
787* aven: eliminated the "twinkling label" effect when dragging the cave with the
788  right mouse button.
789
790* aven: the measuring line moves much more smoothly now: the mouse cursor now
791  snaps to the nearest station, rather than just a near station; and when the
792  line moves, we now only redraw the affected area of the window.
793
794* aven: resolved annoying limit on zooming in on large surveys.  This was a
795  crude way of preventing random lines due to overflow in the windowing system.
796  Aven now clips lines itself at high zoom levels, and limits zoom in to
797  approximately 1mm/pixel.
798
799* aven: zoom in/out with keyboard wasn't subject to any limits - now restricted
800  to sane values as with zoom in/out with the mouse.
801
802* print*: added --raw switch to turn of info box, scale bar, and page footer.
803  This can be useful if you want to import the output into another application.
804
805* print*: improved output when --no-border is used.
806
807* printpcl/printdm: Added new .ini setting "font_bitmap" which allows the user
808  to choose between alternative fonts.  Current we supply "default" and "bold".
809
810* printps/printhpgl: Fixed --skip-blanks which would incorrectly skip non-blank
811  pages on rare occasions.
812
813* cavern: added support for BackCompass and BackClino.
814
815* cavern: implemented "*units clino percent".
816
817* cavern: added "*infer exports on".  Any stations seen while this is on will
818  have the necessary *export-s inferred when accessed from outside their
819  own survey.  This allows linking a survey which uses *export to one which
820  doesn't.  It's also useful for a maze cave where so many stations can
821  be linked to that listing them explicitly isn't desirable.
822
823* cavern: N-S, E-W, and vertical ranges now only count stations which are in
824  underground surveys.
825
826* cavern: *infer plumbs wasn't inferring -90 to be DOWN - fixed.
827
828* cavern: *infer was giving an internal error if the argument was unknown -
829  now it gives the correct error message.
830
831* cavern: fixed handling of omitted clino readings when OMIT is *set to be
832  different from MINUS and PLUS (new test omitclino).
833
834* cavern: fixed a bogus warning for any station which was only used in a line
835  of data which was rejected because of an error.
836
837* cavern: added error if the *units factor is zero (e.g. "*units tape 0 feet").
838
839* cavern: removed the ill-thought-out and never implemented LENGTHOUTPUT
840  and ANGLEOUTPUT quantities.
841
842* cavern: resolved mismatch between bcra5.svx and the default SDs, and the
843  odd values in bcra3.svx.  We are now interpreting the BCRA limits as 2
844  standard deviations (previously bcra5.svx used 3 sds, bcra3 used 3.33 sds for
845  tape and position, and .75 sds for compass and clino, and cavern used 1 sd
846  by default).
847
848* ChangeLog now only includes entries since the previous release (the full file
849  is 220K or so, and of interest to very few people).  MSDOS and MS Windows
850  versions now comfortably fit on a 1.44M floppy once again.
851
852* Test suite now checks that all programs will run successfully with "--help"
853  and with "--version".  This should avoid problems such as that which broke
854  the printer drivers in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
855
856* (Unix version): uninstalled binaries now use the path they are run with to
857  find support files, which means SURVEXHOME is no longer required, and has
858  been removed.
859
860Changes in 1.0.7:
861
862* print*: halted with a failed assertion in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
863
864Changes in 1.0.6:
865
866* aven: "Reverse Controls" now works as in xcaverot and caverot.
867
868* aven: free rotation mode (engage by pressing control while left dragging,
869  exit with Delete) improved.
870
871* aven: using File->Open when a file was already loaded caused a crash
872  if a station was "grey highlighted" in the survey tree - fixed.
873
874* aven: added hourglass for "find" operation.
875
876* aven: reenabled loading of files by drag-and-drop (accidentally disabled
877  in 1.0.4 and 1.0.5).
878
879* aven: improved handling of flat surveys (e.g. output of extend, surveys
880  with no clino information).
881
882* aven: surveys with stations but no legs no longer cause the labels and
883  crosses buttons to behave oddly.
884
885* aven: removed quite a bit of unused and superfluous code.
886
887* Spell-checked documentation.
888
889Changes in 1.0.5:
890
891* Fixed bug in img_open_survey() which could cause a crash if you tried to
892  open an unrecognised file (i.e. not .3d, .pos, .plt, or .xyz format).
893
894* North and East were the wrong way round when reading in .plt files.
895
896* cad3d: Improved .plt file output a little - there's probably enough file
897  structure for Compass to read them now.
898
899* Documentation updates.
900
901Changes in 1.0.4:
902
903* extend: previously only kept one name for an equated group of stations in the
904  extended .3d file; now keeps all the names.
905
906* cad3d: if an output filename is given, use its extension to pick the default
907  output format.
908
909* aven: movement with keyboard is now accelerated by Shift as in caverot.
910
911* print*: --no-borders fixed to work as documented; --no-cutlines added to
912  turn off the dashed lines where pages join on multi-page printouts.
913
914* aven: tracked down two uninitialised variables which seems to fix the
915  failure to load a survey on startup which some people have been experiencing
916  on Microsoft Windows.
917
918* aven: code cleaned up - should improve performance a little.
919
920* img routines: img_rewind() now returns a value indicating success/failure.
921
922* Improvements to .plt file reading, notably that distances in the file are
923  now interpreted as being in feet rather than metres.  Also .plt files should
924  now be recognised even with a different extension, and we cope with an odd
925  special case better.
926
927* Added support for reading CMAP XYZ files.  There are two variants of these
928  - the "shot" format is fully implemented, the "station" format currently
929  just reads the station names and positions - the legs are ignored (sadly
930  the sample files I have do not match the format specification).
931
932* (MacOS X version): aven: aven now builds on MacOS X - we just need to sort
933  out packaging now...
934
935* (MSDOS version): upgraded graphics library used to Allegro 4.0.1.
936
937* Documentation updates.
938
939Changes in 1.0.3:
940
941* aven: you can now select distances to be displayed in feet (or miles when
942  you zoom right out) instead of metres, and angles to be in grads instead
943  of degrees.
944
945* aven: show altitude of mouse pointer when in elevation view.
946
947* cad3d: fixed bug which caused --plt to crash on some platforms.
948
949* print*: added "Printing to `XXX'..." message to say where output is being
950  written.
951
952* Updated French translation; minor updates to other translations (mostly
953  sorting out clashing menu shortcuts in aven).
954
955* (Unix version): assorted portability tweaks.
956
957Changes in 1.0.2:
958
959* printdm/printpcl/printwin: take notice of font_size_labels setting in
960  print.ini etc.
961
962* cavern: Topofil can now be used with DIVING and CYLPOLAR styles; TOPOFIL
963  style is now synonymous with NORMAL.
964
965* cavern: *INFER EQUATES and *DATA TOPOFIL now work together correctly.
966
967* cavern: *FIX with 3 standard deviations but no covariances now works.
968
969* (MacOS X version): command line programs now build.  We're working on Aven.
970
971* Updates to the Catalan and Spanish translations.
972
973* xcaverot: documented environmental variables XCAVEROT_INDICATOR_RADIUS and
974  XCAVEROT_FONTNAME.
975
976* cad3d: added --plt option to produce crude approximation to Compass .plt
977  files - should be good enough for reading into Carto.
978
979* img library enhanced to allow Compass .plt files to be read as if they were
980  .3d files.
981
982Changes in 1.0.1:
983
984* (MS Windows version): printwin: fixed sizes of cross and page alignment
985  ticks.
986
987* Updates to the Portuguese and Italian translations.
988
989Changes in 1.0.0:
990
991* Fixed --survey option supported by many programs which was broken in 0.99.
992
993* aven: altered colours of "fixed points" and "entrances" buttons to match
994  the coloured blobs used to indicate them.
995
996* (MS Windows version): aven: changed current point highlighting in the
997  survey tree to use a light grey background rather than bold (bold causes
998  the text to "wriggle" as the highlight runs up or down).
999
1000* (MS Windows version): file icons now have transparent backgrounds.
1001
1002* survex: removed conversion wrapper - you should use "cavern file.svx"
1003  instead of "survex file.svx".
1004
1005* (Unix version): GCC 2.95 sometimes fails with an internal error when trying
1006  to compile gfxcore.cc - if it does, the Makefile will now try recompiling
1007  with a lower optimisation level.
1008
1009* (Unix version): when doing an "in directory" build from source, the HTML
1010  manual is now installed in its own subdirectory as when doing a non
1011  "in directory" build.
1012
1013* German translation now completely up-to-date.
