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