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