3Changes in 1.4.19 (2025-12-??):
4
5* aven/survexport: Rework PLT export to use 2 character escapes for spaces
6  and other characters which aren't valid in Compass station names.  We were
7  using 3 character escapes, but that's unhelpful since Compass has a 12
8  character station name limit.
9
10* cavern: Improve description of --quiet option.  Reported by Wookey.
11
12* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now always updates DLLs it
13  installs rather than skipping DLLs which declare the same version number.
14  This avoids problems when DLLs change in an upwardly but not downwardly
15  compatible way but keep the same version number.  It also means downgrading
16  now gives an install more like installing the older version from scratch
17  would.  Our DLLs are all private and installed into our own install directory
18  so there are no concerns with breaking other installed software.  Fixes #145.
19  Reported by Footleg and Juan Corrin.
20
21* Fill in some missing Czech translations.
22
23* Update unofficial Inno Setup translations for the installer.
24
25* We now require at least FFmpeg >= 3.2 to build Survex.  This version was
26  released in 2016 so should be easily available everywhere now.
27
28* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop workaround for wx-config --rescomp not
29  working as this has now been fixed in the mingw package of wxWidgets.
30
31* Test suite:
32
33  + Add test coverage for `*data normal` without `clino`.
34
35Changes in 1.4.18 (2025-11-04):
36
37* aven: Fix "Enter" in search control to zoom to results.  This was broken
38  by the switch to wxSearchCtrl in 1.4.17.
39
40* aven: Fix "Find stations" search box width with wxWidgets >= 3.2.7.  Patch
41  https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/15 from Thomas Holder.
42
43* aven: (Microsoft Windows version): Fix sizing of indicators (scalebar,
44  compass, clino, colour key) on HiDPI monitors.  Fixes #144, reported by Juan
45  Corrin.
46
47* aven/survexport: Set UTM zone and datum in exported Compass PLT.
48
49* cavern: Avoid duplicate errors/warnings with unconnected data.  Since 1.4.10,
50  unconnected data is only a warning but that resulted in us running some
51  checks on the survey tree twice, which could result in duplicate
52  errors/warnings.
53
54* cavern: Fix parsing of hex digits in *set.  Hex digits a-f were incorrectly
55  being handled as 0-5, so 0x0a was byte 0 not byte 10.
56
57* cavern: We now track the column as well as file:line where a station or
58  survey name was used, so diagnostics which use these locations now report
59  a column number too.
60
61* cavern: Show context if proj can't convert coords.  We only do this for .svx
62  files currently as it is more complex for Compass and Walls data.
63
64* cavern: Fix reported column for error for `-` for Walls tape field.
65  In this context, Walls requires 2 or more `-` to indicate an omitted field.
66
67* cavern: Compass MAK file parsing improvements:
68
69  + Comments are now skipped.  Previously a commented-out MAK file command
70    would still be interpreted by cavern, which was incorrect.
71
72  + Whitespace handling has been adjusted to more closely match Compass.
73
74  + Unknown commands are now warned about.  Compass seems to quietly ignore
75    unknown commands, but it seems helpful for cavern to report them as it
76    will help identify any bugs in Survex's parsing of MAK files, and any
77    new or undocumented MAK file commands which we don't support.  It can also
78    help detect typos in data entry.
79
80  + We now skip to the closing `;` for unknown commands and commands we
81    ignore as not relevant to us, whereas previously we're just skip the
82    initial character which gives the type of command and then look for
83    another command.  This doesn't seem to make any difference in practice as
84    none of these commands appear to be able to contain text which could be
85    interpreted as a different valid Compass MAK file command.
86
87* (Microsoft Windows version): The toolchain we use to build this version
88  seems to have changed in an unhelpful way.  We've got the build working
89  again, but when aven is launched a black window opens first, then the
90  aven window opens over the top.  The black window stays around until
91  aven is closed.  This extra window doesn't really get in the way of using
92  aven, but it's not supposed to be there.  It doesn't seem to be due to a
93  change in the Survex code as the 1.2.17 build doesn't do this, but a
94  rebuild of 1.2.17 with just the minimum of build system changes does.
95  If you have suitable skills help fixing this would be much appreciated.
96
97* (Microsoft Windows version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, like we
98  already do for Unix.  Unlocked file I/O can be much faster in some cases (we
99  don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file I/O).
100
101* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix compiler warning in wrapaven.c.
102
103* (Microsoft Windows version): Work around wx-config --rescomp no longer
104  working.  The mingw package of wxWidgets has started to return an empty
105  string here.  We don't support building with MSVC, so hardcoding `windres`
106  here isn't really a problem in practice.
107
108* Manual: Document that *set eol default includes x1A (Ctrl-Z) to provide
109  compatibility with old DOS text files (it always has done but was missing
110  from the documentation).
111
112* Merge updates to Russian translation.
113
114* Add the start of a Czech translation.
115
116* Update unofficial Inno Setup translations for the installer.
117
118* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.2.  It is starting to become hard to keep
119  everything working with 3.0.0 and the time and effort seems better directed
120  to other things.  The last 3.0.x release was 3.0.5.1, released 2020-05-02.
121  3.2.0 was released 2022-07-06 and it seems everywhere with wxWidgets packages
122  upgraded to 3.2.x some time ago.
123
124* Test suite:
125
126  + cavern.tst: Test more mixed line ending cases.
127
128  + Turn off tests involving aven and survexport on mingw, as we can no longer
129    seem to run these programs during the build.  Rebuilding the last commit
130    that worked now fails, so this is not due to a change in the Survex code.
131    There is no error message, but bash shows exit code 127 which means it
132    failed to run the command.
133
134  + Improve handling of VERBOSE in tests.  Previously VERBOSE showed output
135    from all testcases, even ones which passed.  Now we only show output from
136    testcases which fail for VERBOSE=1.  Other non-empty values of VERBOSE
137    continue to show all output for cavern.tst and smoke.tst, but have the same
138    effect as VERBOSE=1 for other tests.
139
140  + compare.tst: Fix to actually work, support --help, and allow comparing
141    cavern runs which fail.  This script is not run as part of the automated
142    tests but assists manually comparing two versions of cavern on the same
143    data which can be helpful for debugging and during development.
144
145Changes in 1.4.17 (2025-03-20):
146
147* aven: Add support for exaggerating Z.  You can now set a Z scale factor
148  from 0.1 to 10.0 via a new widget on the toolbar.  Fixes #49.
149
150* aven: The cavern log window now chooses foreground and background colours
151  based on the desktop's light mode/dark mode setting.  Previously it
152  used the default window background colour but always used black text, which
153  made it hard to read with a dark desktop theme.  (The wxWidgets API to detect
154  dark mode is new in 3.2, so if built with wxWidgets 3.0 then we assume
155  light mode.)
156
157* aven: The station search feature now uses the standard search
158  widget on GTK 3.6 or later and on macOS.  There's now a placeholder
159  text shown when there's no search to make it clearer what this
160  widget is for.
161
162* aven: There's currently a cavern bug where it can fail to identify all
163  traverses which are not involved in loop closure, which results in the .3d
164  file contains error information for them (unfortunately this seems tricky to
165  fully fix).  This error information is always zero, so as a workaround aven
166  attempts to detect these so that "colour by error" shows them as "not in
167  loop".  This workaround previously only checked for E being zero, but now
168  H and V are both also required to be zero.  This should help avoid some very
169  low error traverses being incorrectly treated as "not in loop", although in
170  practice I've not yet found a real world case where this actually makes a
171  difference.
172
173* aven: Fix the output encoding of `aven --help`, `--version`, etc.
174  Previously these were always encoded as UTF-8 which is usually right
175  on a modern system, but the terminal could be using a different
176  encoding.
177
178* aven: Reduce startup overhead a little when the terminal has a UTF-8
179  locale (which is now the default on most Linux distros).
180
181* cavern: Fix an "assertion failed" error in some situations when
182  equating to a fixed point.  This bug was introduced by changes
183  in 1.4.13.  Fixes #143, reported by Juan Corrin.
184
185* cavern: The syntax of *copyright commands is now checked and a warning
186  issued for problems.  The information in the command is still not yet used.
187
188* cavern: The syntax of *team commands is now checked and a warning
189  issued for problems.  The information in the command is still not yet used.
190
191* cavern: Stop reporting node stats.  These are kind of interesting, but
192  with the widespread use of Disto-X and similar devices which can easily
193  shoot multiple splay legs from each station means the number of larger order
194  nodes has increased and this information is now quite verbose and any utility
195  it had has substantially declined.  If these statistics are still wanted then
196  they could make a reappearance in the future in aven, with splays excluded
197  when counting the number of legs at each station.  Fixes #86, reported by
198  Wookey.
199
200* cavern: Fix wrong "unused fixed point" warning with *solve.
201
202* cavern: Fix double counting of stations which are referenced both before and
203  after *solve.
204
205* cavern: Suppress loop and component counts if *solve is used.  Our component
206  count was often wrong in this case but this looks very hard to fix.  These
207  counts are not vital so better to omit than report wrong values.
208
209* cavern: The "Equating two equal fixed points" warning now lists the
210  stations on the same order as they are in the `.svx` file which
211  seems clearer.
212
213* Speed up reading and writing of .3d files.  The time to read a large .3d file
214  and just count the stations and legs was more than halved by this change.
215
216* Simplify handling of errors loading the messages file.  The error
217  messages for this case are now stored as separate ASCII strings in
218  the executables which reduces the startup overhead a little as we
219  no longer need to scan them and potentially reencode them.
220
221* img library: The img struct's filename_opened member was always NULL when
222  used outside of Survex (and set but never actually used inside of Survex)
223  so it has been removed.  If you are referencing it in your code then instead
224  use the filename you passed to img_open_survey() when opening the file.
225
226* Documentation: Add details of warning about future dates in *date.
227
228* Documentation: Added new manual chapter on the img library.
229
230* Documentation: Improve comments document API in img.h.
231
232* Testsuite: Add proper test coverage for `*ref`.
233
234* Merge updates to Russian translation from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
235
236* Portability: Eliminate unintended use of a C++17 feature (static_assert
237  with only one argument).
238
239* Portability: Avoid compiler warnings/errors in getopt code by properly
240  declaring getenv().
241
242Changes in 1.4.16 (2025-02-21):
243
244* aven: Improve "Colour by Survey".  Surveys whose names only differ in the
245  final character tended to get visually similar colours (often
246  indistinguishable), but now should get very different colours.  Reported by
247  Eric C. Landgraf and Patrick Warren.
248
249* aven: Add "Find" item to right-click menu on survey tree which triggers a
250  search for the survey or station that was right-clicked on which highlights
251  with a yellow blob on each station, like double-clicking used to before
252  1.2.36.  Requested by Patrick Warren.
253
254* cavern: Fix calculation of convergence which could incorrectly give zero
255  with some PROJ versions < 9.3.0.  Unclear exactly which versions are
256  affected, but seen with PROJ 8.2 and can't affect PROJ >= 9.3.0.  Reported by
257  Eric C. Landgraf.
258
259* cavern: Report approximate true grid convergence range which provides a way
260  to assess if the representative location(s) specified by `*declination auto`
261  are suitable.  Fixes #141, reported by Eric C. Landgraf
262
263* cavern: Support Compass 'C' shot flag.  In Compass this causes flagged legs
264  to not be subject to loop closure.  Survex now sets the SDs of such legs to
265  1mm, so flagged legs can still move slightly during loop closure.  Previously
266  Survex ignore this flag entirely.
267
268* Document Microsoft Windows version requirements.
269
270* Enable SSE2 by default on 32-bit x86.  Intel CPUs without SSE2 were
271  discontinued ~18 years ago so it seems very unlikely anyone is actually still
272  using one for Survex.  We keep hitting testcase failures due to excess
273  precision from 387 FP instructions, and the time spent adjusting testcases to
274  avoid these would be better spent on new features, etc.
275
276* Tighten up charset name parsing a little.
277
278* Merge updates to Russian translation from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
279
280* Various minor improvements to documentation.
281
282* Various minor improvements to test coverage.
283
284Changes in 1.4.15 (2024-12-24):
285
286* aven: Avoid infinite redraw loop if GDAL gives an error loading geodata to
287  overlay.
288
289* aven: Turn off full-screen mode bodges when running on macOS 10.7 or later.
290  Fixes #110
291
292* aven/survexport: (Microsoft Windows version): Enable GDAL support so you
293  can now overlay geodata (in aven) and export shapefiles.
294
295* cavern: Remove now-bogus assertion which can fire when there's a survey not
296  connected to any fixed points (since 1.4.10 made unconnected data a warning
297  instead of an error).  Reported by Philip Balister.
298
299* (Microsoft Windows version): Strip debug data from .exe and .dll files which
300  reduces the installer size by around 5%.
301
302* Testsuite: Normalise -0.00 in DXF bounds too to avoid possible test failures
303  on x86.
304
305Changes in 1.4.14 (2024-12-11):
306
307* aven/survexport: Add support for exporting shapefiles.  This requires GDAL so
308  currently isn't enabled in the Microsoft Windows build.  Thanks to Eric C.
309  Landgraf for testing.  Fixes #87.
310
311* cavern: If *date with just year is followed by a blank, cavern expects a date
312  range and gives an error if another date doesn't follow.  Bug was introduced
313  in 1.4.13.
314
315* aven/cavern: Use ′ and ″ for feet and inches.
316
317* Documentation: Add some details on how to handle Toporobot "serie" station
318  naming.
319
320* Updates to Bulgarian, Hungarian, Russian and Slovak translations.
321
322* Testsuite: Adjust lollipop testcase to pass on i386 where excess precision
323  was changing which station was reported as the southernmost of multiple
324  candidate stations).
325
326Changes in 1.4.13 (2024-12-01):
327
328* aven:
329
330  + Don't show crosses on anonymous stations since they just clutter up the
331    display (especially for anonymous splays).  Suggested by Andrew Atkinson.
332
333  + Fix 1.4.10 regression in plotting of station names.  Each anonymous station
334    was blocking out a small rectangle which no actual station name could
335    overlap.  Reported by Špela Borko.
336
337  + Reduced start-up time by only initialising GDAL if we have overlays to
338    show.
339
340  + (Microsoft Windows version): Avoid recurring "GDAL support not enabled in
341    this build" message box.  This message is now only shown once if you try to
342    add an overlay.  Reported by Špela Borko.
343
344* cavern:
345
346  + Update to use v14 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
347    This was issued in November 2024 and should give slightly more accurate
348    declinations for surveys made since 2015.  Fixes #137.
349
350  + The component count was wrong in some cases, and we calculate the number
351    of loops using this component count, so the loop count would also be wrong
352    by the same amount in these cases.
353
354  + The component count and loop count are now reported when there are
355    unconnected survey stations.
356
357  + *date now supports ISO format dates.  Fixes #96, reported by Milosch.
358
359  + *date now supports date types "surveyed" and "explored" (existing usage
360    without an explicit type is interpreted as "surveyed").
361
362  + If the output directory isn't writable or doesn't exist we would complain
363    that we can't create the .err file - now we try to create the .3d file
364    first so complain about that instead which seems more helpful.  Reported by
365    Eric C. Landgraf.
366
367  + When inventing a fixed point we now avoid picking a fixed point which is
368    only attached to nosurvey legs if there's another option.  The code was
369    already meant to do this but it was buggy and we lacked a testcase for this
370    situation.
371
372  + Survey network reduction now finds some delta-star opportunities which were
373    being overlooked.  This allows more complicated networks to be reduced
374    further so fewer and/or smaller matrices need solving, which is faster.
375
376  + Survey network reduction now handles a "lollipop" with a fixed stick end
377    specially which is a little bit faster.  A more visible consequence is
378    fewer "Solving one equation..." messages when solving a complex survey
379    network.
380
381  + Survey network reduction now makes use of articulating legs to split up the
382    problem a little more, so we will often now solve more but smaller matrices
383    which should be faster.
384
385  + Assigning matrix row numbers now identifies equated stations in a slightly
386    more efficient way.
387
388* dump3d: Provide a way to get ISO format dates output.
389
390* Documentation:
391
392  + Improve documentation of *date in the manual.  When a partial date is
393    specified (just a year, or a year and month only) the documentation claimed
394    the centre of that year or month is used but actually this case is treated
395    as a date range covering the whole year or month (respectively).  The end
396    result is effectively the same as what was previously documented though
397    since the centre of a date range is used as the date for calculating
398    automatic declinations and is the date used by aven.
399
400* Test suite:
401
402  + Adjust hpglexport testcase to avoid i386 excess precision causing one of
403    the HPGL coordinates to differ by one from its value calculated without
404    excess precision.
405
406* Assorted translation updates.
407
408Changes in 1.4.12 (2024-10-23):
409
410* aven:
411
412  + (Microsoft Windows version): Geodata overlays are (hopefully temporarily)
413    no longer available in the pre-built version of Survex installed by the
414    Microsoft Windows installer.  We use the GDAL library to load them and
415    there's a hard to debug problem during DLL initialisation somewhere in its
416    dependency tree.  If you really need geodata overlays, the 1.4.9 installer
417    still works.  Thanks to Wookey for extensive testing to investigate the
418    problem, and to everyone else who reported this.
419
420* cavern:
421
422  + A leg with the same station as from and to is now only a warning in
423    Compass data.  Compass itself seems to quietly ignore such legs, but
424    they seem worth warning about.  In native Survex data this is still
425    an error.
426
427  + Short survey and station names are now stored without an extra memory
428    allocation.  On a 64-bit platform (most modern computers) we can store
429    name components up to 7 characters in this way; on a 32-bit platform
430    up to 3 characters.  On a large dataset which needs large matrices
431    solving this reduces cavern's memory usage by 3.5MB (~4.5%).  It's
432    also fractionally faster (but only ~0.05% which is not normally even
433    measurable).
434
435  + Assigning matrix row numbers to stations is now faster and allocates
436    less memory.
437
438* (Microsoft Windows version): The Microsoft Windows installer is now
439  named `survex-microsoft-windows-1.4.12.exe`.  The old name was
440  `survex-win32-1.4.11.exe` but the "win32" is now misleading as it's been a
441  64-bit build since 1.4.9.  Reported by Wookey.
442
443* Testsuite:
444
445  + dump3d.tst: Add tests of img library's survey filtering.
446
447  + cavern.tst: Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in JSON test output before
448    comparing with expected output.  We can get -0.00 on x86 due to excess
449    precision.
450
451* img library:
452
453  + Survey filtering now works correctly for files which use a survey level
454    separator other than `.`.  Patch https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/14
455    from Thomas Holder.
456
457  + Reading a v7 or earlier .3d format extended elevation with survey filtering
458    was failing to set is_extended_elevation.
459
460Changes in 1.4.11 (2024-08-14):
461
462* aven:
463
464  + Add imperial scales for export and printing.  Fixes #132, reported by Eric
465    C. Landgraf.
466
467* aven/survexport:
468
469  + HPGL export now uses pen 2 for splays and pen 3 for surface legs.  Partly
470    addresses #60.
471
472  + HPGL export now supports scaling (previous the scale was always
473    1:40000).
474
475  + KML export now distinguishes surface legs and splays using different
476    line styles.  Partly addresses #60.
477
478  + Remove Skencil export support.  The last release of Skencil was in 2005.
479    There was an attempt to revive the project in 2010, but that didn't lead to
480    another release and seems to have petered out.  No current Linux distro (or
481    other package system) seems to have Skencil packages, and the current git
482    version still appears to require Python 2 which is being phased out.
483
484* cavern:
485
486  + Support `*data ignore` to allow ignoring a block of survey data lines.
487    Closes #114, reported by Alastair Gott.
488
489  + Report error for bad final reading in `*data` command (previously such a
490    bad reading was quietly ignored).
491
492  + If the survey in `*end` doesn't match that in `*begin` the location of
493    that `*begin` is now reported as well - the second message here is new
494    for example:
495
496     badbegin.svx:6:8: error: Survey name doesn't match BEGIN
497      *end   bar
498             ^~~
499     badbegin.svx:4:13: info: Corresponding BEGIN was here
500      *begin      foo
501                  ^~~
502
503  + Now shows a context line for a reading which was on the previous line,
504    which can happen for interleaved data styles.
505
506  + Warn when a token is not followed by a blank, comment or end of line.
507    This is an unintentional tokenisation oddity which has been present
508    for a really long time.  We don't want to break files that rely on this
509    (even if they likely only do accidentally) so emit a warning rather than
510    an error.
511
512    This warning can easily be eliminated by adding a space where indicated,
513    which will work with old and new Survex versions.  Fixes #135.
514
515  + Errors and warnings which report an unexpected token now report a
516    contiguous span of letters and numbers rather than just letters in cases
517    where a number can't follow (which is the majority of cases).
518
519  + If `*require` isn't satisfied, the `*require` line is now shown for
520    context (especially helpful if there's a comment after the command noting
521    the reason for the requirement, as we now suggest in the manual).
522
523  + `*require` version parsing improved - spaces are no longer tolerated in
524    a version number and trailing junk after the version number is now
525    handled more consistently.
526
527  + Fixed several situations in which the highlighting of the context for a
528    diagnostic was off by a small number of columns.
529
530  + Optimise building of matrix during network solving.
531
532  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files:
533
534    - After reporting an error for an unsupported datum, we now set the datum
535      to WGS84 to prevent triggering further errors from code which tries to
536      use the datum.
537
538    - Parse Walls WPJ commands as alphanumeric rather than alphabetic tokens,
539      which better matches how Walls parses them.  This only makes a difference
540      in the error message when we don't recognise a WPJ command.
541
542* Documentation:
543
544  + Note `feet` are international feet and how to select a different
545    definition in `*units` docs.
546
547  + Document `grads` are also known as "neugrads" and "gons" in `*units` docs.
548
549* Assorted translation updates.
550
551* testsuite:
552
553  + Fix bug in normalisation of `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before
554    comparing with expected output.
555
556* Update and improve vim syntax highlighting:
557
558  + `*cartesian` added
559
560  + `*data ignore` added
561
562  + `mils` units now highlighted as deprecated
563
564  + `UP` and `DOWN` are no longer highlighted anywhere in a command
565
566  + `U`, `D`, `LEVEL`, `-V`, `+V`, `.`, `..` and `...` now highlighted in data
567    lines
568
569  + Repeated `NOT` in `*flags` is now highlighted as an error
570
571  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to not flag an error just
572    because there's a comment after the filename
573
574  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to work when there's
575    whitespace between `*` and `include`
576
577Changes in 1.4.10 (2024-08-05):
578
579* aven:
580
581  + Use a fixed rotation rate for rotating the view to North, South, East or
582    West (shortcut keys `N`, `S`, `E` and `W`).  We were using the same
583    variable rate which auto-rotation does for this case, but really these are
584    just animations to help the user see the change that's happening, so a
585    fixed rate makes more sense (and is what tilting to plan or elevation
586    does).  The new fixed rotation rate for this is double what the default
587    variable rate was, which means the longest rotation (e.g. from S to N)
588    takes 3 seconds rather than 6.
589
590* aven/survexport:
591
592  + Fix syntax of shot flags in PLT export (incorrect since introduced in
593    1.4.6).
594
595  + Map Survex duplicate flag to `L` shot flag in PLT export.
596
597  + Invent shorter names for anonymous stations in PLT export.  The PLT file
598    format documentation says station names can be up to 12 characters, but the
599    ones we generated were longer than this which is liable to trip up
600    consumers of this format that only allow for the specified length.
601    We now generate names using a sequential counter with a two character
602    prefix so they should fit in the 12 character limit for any cave
603    survey.
604
605  + 3D export now includes all leg and station flags.
606
607* cavern:
608
609  + Unconnected survey stations are now handled as a warning, whereas
610    previously this was an error.  This is necessary when processing Walls data
611    where it seems having hanging surveys is the norm, and Walls itself only
612    warns about them.
613
614    The support is also enabled for native Survex data since it allows viewing
615    the connected parts of a survey with missing connections without having to
616    comment out the unconnected parts (and then remember to fully uncomment
617    once connections are surveyed).  Fixes #16, reported by Duncan Collis.
618
619    Currently the component count and loop count are not shown in this case.
620
621  + Avoid multiple reports of an unconnected survey station.  This could happen
622    in some cases where a group of equated stations had more than four legs
623    connected to it.
624
625  + Fix missing report of unconnected survey station.  We aim to report at
626    least one station in every unconnected piece of survey, but if a piece had
627    been simplified to a single station which was anonymous (e.g. a disto splay
628    shot) then we wouldn't report anything for that piece.  Now we find the
629    traverse that was attached to it and report the next station along that
630    traverse.
631
632  + Report file and line location each unconnected survey station.
633
634  + This warning now says either `*entrance` or `*export` depending on which
635    it actually was:
636
637      Station "bar.1" referred to by *entrance or *export but never used
638
639  + Fix several cases of mishandling comments without blanks before them:
640
641    - After an anonymous station.
642
643    - After an ignored reading.  The `ignore` would incorrectly also skip the
644      comment character and any characters which followed up to the next blank
645      or end of line.
646
647    - In a `*alias` command.
648
649    - Diagnostic highlighting could continue into a comment.
650
651  + New `*cartesian` command which supports different orientations of
652    `cartesian` style data.
653
654  + Anonymous stations are now supported in `cartesian` style data.
655
656  + `*fix a reference` (without any coordinates) is now an error.  The
657    `reference` token provides a way to have a list of known fixed points which
658    are not expected to all be currently used, while omitting the coordinates
659    provides a way to specify a point to arbitrarily fix rather than rely on
660    cavern picking one.  Allowing both together doesn't really make sense.
661
662  + Improve check for 180° backclino to suppress the warning about a compass
663    reading on a plumbed leg (introduced in 1.4.8) to allow a small tolerance
664    on the value.  Previously the check wasn't working on x86 Linux for
665    example.
666
667  + When showing a line as the location of a diagnostic we now render any
668    tab character as a single space which means the `^~~~~` highlight length
669    is now correct even when the highlighted part contains tabs.  This only
670    affects use from a terminal as the highlight was already correctly handled
671    when viewing the log in aven.
672
673  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files (thanks to Eric
674    C. Landgraf and Joe for a lot of great feedback from testing with large
675    datasets):
676
677    - The `RECT=` option is now fully supported.
678
679    - Fix `#DATE` with an active `.REF` to act like `DECL=`.  This matches what
680      the documentation says and what Walls seems to actually do.
681
682    - Allow completely omitting the clino on a wall shot (with `ORDER=DAV` or
683      `ORDER=ADV`).
684
685    - Resolve WPJ `.PATH` relative to innermost containing book.
686
687    - Handle an empty Walls station name.  Walls allows a station with an
688      explicit prefix to have an empty name, e.g. `PEP:`.  The Walls
689      documentation doesn't mention this, though it also doesn't explicitly say
690      the name can't be empty.  This quirk seems unlikely to be intentionally
691      used and Survex doesn't allow an empty station name, so we issue a
692      warning and use the name `empty name` (which has a space in, so can't
693      collide with a real Walls station name which can't contain a space) - so
694      `PEP:` in Walls becomes `PEP.empty name` in Survex.
695
696    - Flag stations with explicit Walls prefix as exported.
697
698    - Fix setting empty Walls macro with a comment right after it.
699
700    - Walls quietly ignores junk after the numeric argument in `TYPEAB=`,
701      `TYPEVB=`, `UV=`, `UVH=`, and `UVV=`.  This seems to be an undocumented
702      feature/bug so Survex emits a warning and skips the junk.
703
704    - After an unknown Walls option we now process the rest of the line.
705      Previously we were skipping the rest of the line.
706
707    - We no longer skip the rest of the line after a bad Walls `ORDER=` option.
708
709    - Correct the reported column for some Walls option diagnostics.
710
711    - Support explicit units on Walls clino readings.
712
713    - Allow `#` in Walls station names.  This is explicitly documented as not
714      allowed, but the documentation doesn't match the implementation and `#`
715      is present in some real-world data.
716
717    - Improve handling of Walls `RESTORE` error.  Highlight the position in the
718      line and don't skip the rest of the line.
719
720    - Don't warn about `INCH=` with a zero argument since that's the one case
721      of it we do handle!
722
723    - Fix not to skip the rest of the line after Walls `INCH=` option.
724      We currently don't support `INCH=` so we warn about it, but we were
725      skipping the rest of the line, then trying to read and discard the
726      argument to `INCH=` which gave an error.
727
728    - Relax handling of Walls `CASE=`.  It's not documented, but Walls32.exe
729      quietly treats unknown values as "Mixed".
730
731    - Support DM and DMS format for latitude and longitude in Walls `#FIX`,
732      e.g. `W97:43.875` and `W97:43:52.5` .
733
734    - Treat a zero length leg with finite variance like a Survex `*equate`.
735
736    - Apply Walls variance overrides to survey legs.
737
738    - The optional instrument and target heights are now parsed, but their
739      values are currently ignored.
740
741    - The delimiters around LRUD data are now parsed, but the LRUD data between
742      them is currently ignored.
743
744    - If a `#SEGMENT` value looks like a set of Compass shot flags (i.e.
745      consists only of upper case characters from `CLPSX`, optionally prefixed
746      with a `/` or `\`) then we interpret them as Compass shot flags (except
747      that `X` is mapped the same way as `L`).  This is apparently a common way
748      to use `#SEGMENT`, and unlikely to be triggered accidentally.
749
750    - Avoid a doubled directory separator when building Walls path names.
751
752* documentation:
753
754  + The manual has been converted from DocBook to reStructured Text.  The
755    plain-text format is much easier for making changes, and for users the
756    output from sphinx looks nicer and has extra features (like built-in
757    "Quick search" in the HTML output).
758
759    The plain text version of the manual is no longer generated.  Sphinx can
760    produce one but the .rst sources actually seem more readable for anyone
761    wanting to read the manual in plain text.
762
763    The extra targets to generate the manual in RTF and PostScript
764    have been dropped as I doubt they are still used (we stopped
765    providing them on the website years ago).  They could probably be
766    reinstated if there's a demand for them.
767
768    The conversion was partly automated followed by a full pass over the
769    result fixing issues with the automated conversion.  We took the
770    opportunity to also review the content and update or remove out of
771    date and other incorrect information, and to reorder some of the content.
772
773  + Document all the statistics in the `.err` file
774
775  + Document PLT export.
776
777  + Minor improvements to --help output
778
779  + The HTML version of the 1.4.9 manual was missing the Walls chapter
780    and had messed up paging links around it (due to the new CMAP chapter
781    accidentally also being given the filename `walls.htm`).  Reported by Eric
782    C. Landgraf.
783
784  + Document we don't enforce Walls' station or prefix length limits.
785
786  + Document handling of Walls `#NOTE`.
787
788  + Fix documentation of Walls `FLAG=` which is correctly handled, not skipped.
789
790  + Document how to compare Walls and Survex output via Shapefile.
791
792  + Document how to suppress unused fixed point warning in Walls SRV.
793
794* testsuite:
795
796  + Add testcase for Walls `#units order=da`.
797
798  + Add expected output for more testcases
799
800  + Add testcase for exporting .3d files.
801
802  + Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before comparing to avoid bogus
803    test failures due to excess precision on x86 when using 387 FP
804    instructions.
805
806  + Add test of DXF export with full coordinates.
807
808* translations:
809
810  + Diagnostics can now use positional arguments which sometimes allows a
811    more natural word order in a translated message.
812
813Changes in 1.4.9 (2024-07-04):
814
815* aven:
816
817  + Support showing geodata overlays in Aven.  We use the GDAL library to load
818    the data, so this should work for any format which GDAL supports so long as
819    it can be read from the filing system and is geo-referenced vector data -
820    see https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html for a list.  Currently the
821    dialog to select a file defaults to showing GPX, KML, GeoJSON and shape
822    files - set the filter to "All Files" to choose other formats.
823
824  + Reimplement display of cavern output.  The old version turned the log into
825    HTML and displayed it using wxHtmlWindow, but that adds a lot of overhead
826    and is especially inefficient if there are many diagnostics - cavern could
827    finish almost instantly yet aven could take many seconds to process the
828    output.  The new version renders directly from the log data.  It should
829    have most of the features from before - the only missing feature I'm
830    currently aware of is that you can't now select and copy text from the log
831    window, which wxHtmlWindow provided for free.  If people miss this feature,
832    we could add it to the new implementation.
833
834  + (Microsoft Windows version): Clicks in the cavern log window which load
835    files into an editor now protect the filename if it starts with a dash
836    to prevent it being interpreted as a command line option.  We already
837    do this for other platforms, but weren't on Microsoft Windows on the
838    assumption that it isn't needed because the filenames will be fully
839    qualified, but that may not be the case if aven if run by hand from the
840    command line or from some other launcher.
841
842* cavern:
843
844  + Add support for processing Walls format survey data (.SRV and .WPJ files).
845    This support is somewhat experimental but at a point where it seems useful
846    to make it easier for people to try out.  See the manual for a list of
847    known shortcomings.  Thanks to Eric C. Landgraf for a lot of testing and
848    encouragement.
849
850  + Fix bug with Compass DAT diving data.  If a survey uses the depth gauge
851    then since 1.4.6 we set its style to "diving", but we weren't clearing that
852    so all surveys after that in the same DAT file were also set as "diving".
853
854  + When parsing of Compass DAT files we report errors in more cases if the
855    input doesn't conform to the format we expect, rather than potentially
856    quietly misinterpreting the data.
857
858  + *entrance now suppresses "Unused fixed point" warning.  This warning is
859    intended to catch typos, which is much less likely for a station named
860    twice.  It's also reasonable to use only *fix and *entrance on a station at
861    the entrance of an unsurveyed cave.
862
863  + Highlight plumbed clino readings fully in diagnostics.  Now the full reading
864    is highlighted instead of just the first character.
865
866  + Report location of previous fix after "already fixed" error/warning.
867
868  + Use "info" diagnostic category for "Originally entered here" message.  This
869    is more logical as the original *begin isn't something to be warned about,
870    only the reentering is.  This was only a warning before because we didn't
871    used to have "info" diagnostics.
872
873  + Use "info" diagnostic category for message about not reporting further
874    uses of a deprecated feature.  Previously this was a warning, but the newer
875    "info" category is more appropriate here.
876
877  + The message about inventing a fixed point is now an "info" diagnostic which
878    allows us to report a location which is where that station is defined,
879    which may be useful to the user.
880
881  + Make highlighting position in error reporting more robust.  We no longer
882    try to highIight if we calculate a negative column offset, when previously
883    we would print billions of spaces.  As far as I know this has never
884    happened in a released version.
885
886  + Error messages which report the program name now remove any ".exe" suffix.
887    This helps the testsuite by making the expected output the same
888    cross-platform, but also seems slightly nicer for users.
889
890* dump3d:
891
892  + The timestamp reported by DATE_NUMERIC is now printed portably.  Previously
893    we were assuming that a time_t is the same size as a long int, which is not
894    true on all platforms.
895
896* manual:
897
898  + (Microsoft Windows version): Update information about installation
899    with/without admin rights.
900
901  + Summarise support for reading CMAP data and its assumptions and
902    limitations.
903
904  + Mention Compass, Walls and CMAP support in the importing data howto
905    section.
906
907  + Drop mention of Rosetta Stal from the manual.  The referred to link from
908    our website was removed in 2015 because Rosetta Stal hadn't been updated
909    for 13.5 years at that point.  Now the domain it was available from has
910    lapsed and is a domain squatter "for sale" page.
911
912* img library:
913
914  + The coordinates in CMAP data are in feet but we were dividing rather
915    than multiplying by the conversion factor to get metres so all
916    coordinates were about 10.76 times too large.
917
918  + Stations in CMAP "station" variant XYZ files are now flagged as
919    underground (as they always have been for "shot" variant XYZ files).
920
921  + When reading CMAP XYZ files, we no longer emit duplicate img_LABEL for
922    stations in loops.
923
924  + A CMAP XYZ file without a survey title is now handled correctly (this was
925    reporting a bogus "Out of memory" error).
926
927  + The img.h header now defines constants IMG_VERSION_SURVEX_POS, etc for the
928    values reported in the version field for non-.3d formats.
929
930  + (Microsoft Windows version): Workaround limitation of Microsoft's C
931    library so we handle dates before 1970 in Compass PLT files, CMAP XYZ
932    files, and older format .3d files.  Previously these were reported
933    as "unknown date".
934
935* We now support overriding the location of support files by setting the
936  SURVEXLIB environment variable.  We no longer look at the srcdir
937  environment variable for this.
938
939* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created automatically
940  on Github actions, which has required a few changes.  It now packages a
941  64-bit build, and is created with Innosetup 6.3.2 which no longer supports
942  Vista.  The installer is also now significantly larger, which is mostly
943  because we now need to include a large number of DLLs, most of which are
944  dependencies of the mingw64 FFmpeg and GDAL packages.
945
946* (Microsoft Windows version): If the directory where we expect the PROJ
947  support files to be does not exist for some reason we now avoid triggering
948  a segmentation fault in PROJ.
949
950* Build system:
951
952  + The GDAL library is now required to build Survex.
953
954  + (Microsoft Windows version): The probe for GL and GLU libraries now also
955    checks for Microsoft's non-standard library names.
956
957  + Correct configure --help output for --enable-werror for which the default
958    is actually "no" rather than "maintainer-mode".
959
960* testsuite:
961
962  + aven.tst: Skip a testcase when running on mingw as it seems to hang there.
963    We already skip this testcase on macos for what appears to be the same
964    problem.
965
966  + Fix comparison of output to work on platforms using DOS line endings.
967
968Changes in 1.4.8 (2024-04-23):
969
970* cavern:
971
972  + The warning for a compass reading on a plumbed leg was already suppressed
973    for a compass or backcompass reading of 0, but is now also suppressed for a
974    backcompass of 180° (or equivalent) which seems to be common in some Compass
975    datasets, but also seems sensible generally.  Thanks to Simeon Warner for
976    sharing some data which triggered such warnings.
977
978  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name is now also
979    emitted in the case where a name was used first for a station, and then as
980    a survey on an explicitly prefixed name.  Closes
981    https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4, reported by Thomas Holder.
982
983  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name now highlights
984    the problematic name within the line shown for context.
985
986  + Fix the reported token string reported by some errors with readings.  This
987    happened to work on at least x86-64 Linux, but the code was invalid and
988    failed on some architectures.
989
990* Fix to build with newer FFmpeg versions.
991
992* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now offers the choice to install
993  for just the current user, which allows installing Survex without admin
994  rights.
995
996* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix problems with valid coordinate systems being
997  rejected and aven's cavern log window not showing output.  Reported by
998  Peter Mašič, Špela Borko, Răzvan Dumbravă and detrito.  Thanks especially to
999  Špela Borko for a lot of testing to help track down the cause.

1001Changes in 1.4.7 (2024-04-07):
1002
1003* cavern:
1004
1005  + When using *declination auto we report the range of calculated declinations
1006    for each location specified.  After doing this we now reset the range
1007    information we're tracking.  Previously we'd misreport the range for
1008    the second and subsequent locations.
1009
1010  + Avoid undefined behaviour on handling filename fallback for filenames
1011    containing non-ASCII characters.
1012
1013  + Show context line with relevant item highlighted for more errors and
1014    warnings.
1015
1016  + The dynamic string handling routines are now more efficient.
1017
1018  + Fix memory leak if a Compass MAK file opens folders it doesn't close.
1019
1020  + Fix handling of clino-less legs in Compass DAT.  These would cause cavern
1021    to fail with a lot of "NaN" messages.  Now they're treated as having a zero
1022    clino with a standard deviation based on the leg length, just like in .svx
1023    files.
1024
1025* img library:
1026
1027  + Compass PLT: Treat LRUD readings > 900 as omitted readings, which matches
1028    what Compass does.  Thanks to Larry Fish for clarifying this.
1029
1030  + Avoid undefined behaviour after realloc().  We were adjusting a pointer
1031    within the reallocated block by subtracting the old block address and
1032    adding on the new one.  Technically this is undefined behaviour, although
1033    in practice it seems likely it'll work and we've not seen misbehaviour due
1034    to it.  However it's easy to avoid by calculating the offset before the
1035    realloc().
1036
1037* Portability:
1038
1039  + Provide prototype for getopt() to avoid warnings with very recent compiler
1040    versions.
1041
1042  + Avoid using sprintf(), which now triggers warnings on some platforms.
1043
1044* Build system:
1045
1046  + Add configure --enable-werror option to turn compiler warnings into errors.
1047
1048* Manual:
1049
1050  + Expand details of Compass MAK CRS support.
1051
1052  + Replace very out of date information about binary RPM packages.
1053
1054* Minor translation updates.
1055
1056* (Microsoft Windows version): Now uses PROJ 9.3.0 and ships all of the
1057  ancillary files that PROJ comes with.  Hoping this fixes use of coordinate
1058  system EPSG:3912 failing, which was reported by Peter Mašič but I've not
1059  managed to reproduce.
1060
1061Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-03-07):
1062
1063* cavern:
1064
1065  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
1066    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
1067    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
1068    mailing list.
1069
1070  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
1071    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
1072    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
1073    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
1074
1075  + When opening a file, cavern has fallback handling if the file isn't found
1076    to help people processing datasets from platforms with case-insensitive
1077    file systems.  Previously cavern would fold the filename to lowercase and
1078    retry.  Now if this fails, it will also try the lower case version but
1079    with the initial character of the leaf in upper case, and finally folding
1080    the whole specified filename to upper case.
1081
1082  + Dynamically pick a suitable level separator character and store it in .3d
1083    file, instead of it being hard-coded to '.' (we still use '.' unless it
1084    has been *set as a "name" character, or for Compass DAT/MAK files unless it
1085    has been used in a station name).  This is a step towards addressing the
1086    situations raised by Thomas Holder in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4
1087    and https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/5 .
1088
1089  + Compass DAT files:
1090
1091    - The shot flag S is now understood to indicate a splay.
1092
1093    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
1094      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
1095      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
1096      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
1097      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
1098      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
1099
1100    - Surveys which indicate a depth gauge was used for azimuth readings are
1101      now marked as STYLE_DIVING in the 3d file.
1102
1103    - Compass and clino corrections are now implemented for backsights.
1104
1105    - The tape correction in Compass DAT files is now handled correctly.  The
1106      specified value is in feet, but cavern was incorrectly treating it as
1107      being in metres.
1108
1109    - We now handle the newer 15 character "FORMAT:" encoding.  Previously
1110      cavern wouldn't detect when there were backsights in this case.
1111
1112    - We now treat survey date January 1st 1901 as "no date specified" since
1113      this is the date Compass stores in this situation, and it seems very
1114      unlikely to occur in real data.
1115
1116    - In Compass DAT files a dummy zero-length leg from a station to itself is
1117      used to provide a place to specify LRUD for the start or end of a
1118      traverse (depending if dimensions are measured at the from or to
1119      station), and so we no longer issue a warning about equating a station to
1120      itself for DAT files.
1121
1122  + Compass MAK files:
1123
1124    - The base location command is now understood.  This is how Compass
1125      specifies a location to calculate magnetic declination at, and we
1126      now handle this like Survex's native "*declination auto X Y Z".
1127
1128    - Survex uses the specified UTM zone and datum provided the combination can
1129      be expressed as an EPSG code (lack of any EPSG codes for a datum suggests
1130      it's obsolete; lack of a code for a particular datum+zone combination
1131      suggests the zone is outside of the defined area of use of the datum).
1132      Example Compass files we've seen use "North American 1927" outside of
1133      where it's defined for use, presumably because some users fail to change
1134      the datum from Compass' default.  To enable reading such files we return
1135      a PROJ4 string of the form "+proj=utm ..." for "North American 1927" and
1136      "North American 1983" for UTM zones which don't have an EPSG code.
1137      Please let us know if support for additional cases which aren't currently
1138      supported would be useful to you.
1139
1140    - Folder commands are now understood.
1141
1142    - Flag fixed stations as entrances.  Experimentation with Compass shows
1143      this is how it treats them ("distance from entrance" in a .DAT file
1144      counts from 0 at these points).
1145
1146  + We now support reading Compass CLP files.  These are very like DAT files,
1147    except they contain loop-closed data.  You might find this useful if you
1148    want to keep existing stations at the same adjusted positions Compass gave
1149    (for example to be able to draw extensions on an existing drawn-up survey),
1150    or if the original DAT file has been lost but you still have the CLP file.
1151
1152* aven:
1153
1154  + Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
1155    Philip Balister.
1156
1157  + Split the filters for DAT and MAK files in the File->Open drop down list.
1158    It seems more likely you'd want to see one type or the other, not both
1159    together.
1160
1161* aven/survexport:
1162
1163  + Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
1164
1165  + .json,.kml: Enable export of surface legs.  Currently surface and
1166    underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats when both
1167    are enabled.
1168
1169  + .3d: The coordinate system is now set.
1170
1171  + .svg: Equated stations now get their correct names in the id attribute
1172    of <circle> tags.  Previously one of the names would be repeated for
1173    all of a set of equated stations.
1174
1175  + .plt:
1176
1177    - Anonymous stations previously resulted in an empty name in the PLT
1178      file.  This isn't explicitly disallowed by the PLT format description,
1179      but Compass' viewer gives an error for such lines.  Now we invent names
1180      by encoding the station coordinates which should be unique.
1181
1182    - The S shot flag is now set for splays, and the P shot flag (hide from
1183      plotting) is set for surface legs (which matches the use suggested in the
1184      Compass docs).
1185
1186* img library:
1187
1188  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
1189    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
1190    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
1191    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
1192    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
1193    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
1194    default).
1195
1196  + Improve Compass PLT support (many of these are Compass features added
1197    since Survex's support for Compass was originally added):
1198
1199    - Survey dates are now handled fully.  We treat survey date January 1st
1200      1901 as "no date specified" since this is the date Compass stores in this
1201      situation, and it seems very unlikely to occur in real data.
1202
1203    - LRUD data is now translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END.
1204
1205    - We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE for stations where the "Distance From
1206      Entrance" field is present and zero.
1207
1208    - The shot flag L is now translated to img_FLAG_DUPLICATE.
1209
1210    - The shot flag S is now translated to img_FLAG_SPLAY.  A station at the
1211      far end of a shot flagged S gets img_SFLAG_WALL set since the Compass PLT
1212      format specification says:
1213
1214          The shot is a "splay" shot, which is a shot from a station to the
1215          wall to define the passage shape.
1216
1217    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
1218      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
1219      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
1220      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
1221      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
1222      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
1223
1224    - The d plot command is now supported (previously img failed to parse
1225      PLT files using this command) - it's like D but implies the P shot flag.
1226
1227    - If a PLT file only uses one datum and it is "WGS 1984" then the UTM zone
1228      is converted to the appropriate EPSG code and this is reported as the
1229      coordinate system.  Other datums could be handled, but the mapping to
1230      EPSG code is less simple.  Also it seems Compass supports at least
1231      24 datums but it doesn't document all the strings it uses for them.
1232      Files with multiple datums could be handled too, but we'd need to convert
1233      coordinates to a common coordinate system in the img library, which would
1234      need it to depend on PROJ.  Please let us know if support for more and/or
1235      mixed datums would be useful to you.
1236
1237    - Duplicate img_LABEL items are no longer returned - this used to happen
1238      for stations where more than two shots met within a single survey.
1239
1240    - We now infer img_SFLAG_EXPORTED for any station that appears in more
1241      than one survey in the PLT file.
1242
1243    - We now set flag img_SFLAG_FIXED for any station which is listed as
1244      a fixed point in the PLT file.
1245
1246    - If there's only one non-empty section name in a PLT file and we aren't
1247      filtering by survey, we now report that section name as the title.  If
1248      there are multiple different non-empty section names, we still report the
1249      basename of the file as before.  If we're filtering by survey, we report
1250      the comment for that survey as before.
1251
1252    - Fix bug handling PLT with omitted LRUD.  The format specification
1253      documents that LRUD may be omitted, though it seems Compass never
1254      actually omits it and at least some versions of Compass failed to handle
1255      it being omitted too.
1256
1257* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
1258
1259* manual:
1260
1261  + Document Compass support in detail.
1262
1263  + Improve NATO mils example.
1264
1265* INSTALL:
1266
1267  + Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by Andrew
1268    Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
1269
1270  + Document the requirement for a C99 compiler for building from source.
1271    We made this a requirement in 1.4.2, but only noted it in NEWS.
1272
1273* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1274
1275* Replace references to "libav" with "FFmpeg" since the libav project seems to
1276  now be defunct, and we've always supported using either.
1277
1278* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros and drop
1279  probes for features that we can safely assume now we require a C99 compiler
1280  and workarounds for obsolete platforms.
1281
1282* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
1283
1284Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
1285
1286* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
1287
1288* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
1289  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
1290
1291* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
1292
1293* Minor translation updates.
1294
1295Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
1296
1297* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
1298  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
1299
1300* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
1301  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
1302  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
1303  checks that were rejecting this.
1304
1305  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
1306  really do that's better than that.
1307
1308  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
1309
1310* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
1311  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
1312  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
1313  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
1314  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
1315
1316* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
1317  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
1318
1319* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
1320  bearing spin control.
1321
1322* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
1323  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
1324  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
1325  currently but please report issues.
1326
1327* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
1328  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
1329  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
1330  position".
1331
1332* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
1333  Reported by echarlie
1334
1335* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
1336
1337Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
1338
1339* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
1340
1341* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
1342  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
1343
1344* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
1345  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
1346
1347* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
1348  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
1349
1350* Minor translation updates.
1351
1352* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
1353  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
1354  works on Wayland).
1355
1356* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
1357  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
1358
1359* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
1360
1361* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
1362  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
1363  Requested by Martin Budaj.
1364
1365Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
1366
1367* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
1368
1369* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
1370
1371* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
1372  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
1373
1374* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
1375  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
1376  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
1377  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
1378
1379* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
1380  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
1381  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1382
1383* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
1384  string properly.
1385
1386* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
1387  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
1388  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
1389  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
1390  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
1391  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
1392  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
1393
1394* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
1395  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
1396
1397  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
1398
1399* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
1400  where the included filename is actually specified.
1401
1402* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
1403  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
1404
1405* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
1406  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
1407  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
1408
1409* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
1410  running on the Continuous Integration system.
1411
1412* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
1413  newer version of Innosetup.  This means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the
1414  minimum supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support
1415  anyway.
1416
1417* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
1418  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
1419
1420* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1421
1422* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
1423  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
1424  inconvenience anyone.
1425
1426Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
1427
1428* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
1429
1430* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
1431  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
1432  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
1433  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
1434
1435* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
1436  in 1.4.0.
1437
1438* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
1439
1440Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
1441
1442* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
1443  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
1444  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
1445  Couwenberg.
1446
1447  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
1448  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
1449  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
1450  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
1451
1452  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
1453  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
1454
1455* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
1456  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
1457  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
1458
1459* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
1460  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
1461  strings is strongly discouraged.
1462
1463  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
1464
1465  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
1466
1467  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
1468  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
1469
1470* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
1471  Green.
1472
1473* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
1474  echarlie.
1475
1476* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
1477  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
1478  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
1479
1480* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
1481
1482* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
1483
1484* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
1485
1486* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
1487
1488* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
1489  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
1490  stations not attached to a fixed point.
1491
1492Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
1493
1494* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
1495  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
1496  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
1497  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
1498  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
1499
1500* aven:
1501
1502  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
1503    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
1504    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
1505    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
1506    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
1507    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
1508
1509* testsuite:
1510
1511  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
1512    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
1513    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
1514    process exits.
1515
1516* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
1517
1518Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
1519
1520* aven:
1521
1522  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
1523
1524* cavern:
1525
1526  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
1527
1528  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
1529    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
1530    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
1531
1532  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
1533    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
1534    until the next *data command with parameters.
1535
1536  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
1537    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
1538
1539  * Improve test coverage.
1540
1541* survexport:
1542
1543  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
1544    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
1545
1546  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
1547    Batista.
1548
1549* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
1550  Holder.
1551
1552* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
1553  from Thomas Holder.
1554
1555* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
1556  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
1557
1558* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
1559
1560* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1561
1562* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
1563
1564* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
1565
1566* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
1567
1568Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
1569
1570* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
1571  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
1572  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
1573
1574* aven:
1575
1576  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
1577    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
1578    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
1579
1580  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
1581    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
1582    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
1583    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
1584
1585  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
1586    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
1587    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
1588
1589  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
1590
1591Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
1592
1593* aven:
1594
1595  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
1596
1597  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
1598    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
1599    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
1600
1601  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
1602    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
1603    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
1604    orientation.
1605
1606* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
1607  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
1608  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
1609  Richard Knapp.
1610
1611* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
1612  might still need to use them for.
1613
1614* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
1615
1616* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
1617
1618* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
1619  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
1620  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
1621  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
1622
1623* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
1624  is now the recommended approach.
1625
1626Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
1627
1628* aven:
1629
1630  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1631    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
1632    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
1633    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
1634    Brian Clipstone.
1635
1636  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
1637    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
1638
1639Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
1640
1641* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
1642  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
1643  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
1644
1645* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
1646  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
1647  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
1648  with some compilers.
1649
1650* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
1651  installed.
1652
1653Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
1654
1655* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
1656  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
1657  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
1658
1659* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
1660  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
1661  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
1662
1663* aven:
1664
1665  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
1666    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
1667    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
1668    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
1669    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
1670    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
1671    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
1672    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
1673    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
1674    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
1675    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
1676
1677  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
1678
1679* Documentation:
1680
1681  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
1682
1683  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
1684    placeholder.
1685
1686  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
1687    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
1688
1689* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
1690  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
1691  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
1692
1693* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
1694  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
1695  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
1696  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
1697  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
1698  location to avoid confusion.
1699
1700* Add a few more message translations.
1701
1702* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
1703
1704Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
1705
1706* cavern:
1707
1708  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
1709    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
1710    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
1711    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
1712    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
1713
1714  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
1715    now reports "file not found" instead.
1716
1717  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
1718    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
1719    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
1720
1721* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
1722
1723* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
1724  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
1725  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
1726  removed.
1727
1728* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
1729  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
1730  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
1731  information.  Patch from James Begley.
1732
1733Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
1734
1735* aven:
1736
1737  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
1738    controllable.
1739
1740  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1741
1742  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
1743    Patch from Robert Jones.
1744
1745  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
1746    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
1747    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
1748
1749  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
1750    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
1751
1752* cavern:
1753
1754  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
1755    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
1756
1757  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
1758    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
1759    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
1760    go unnoticed.
1761
1762* survexport:
1763
1764  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
1765    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
1766    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
1767
1768  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
1769    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
1770    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
1771    Stephen Crabtree.
1772
1773* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1774
1775* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
1776  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
1777
1778* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
1779  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
1780  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
1781  therion's team command.
1782
1783Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
1784
1785* aven:
1786
1787  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
1788
1789  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
1790    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
1791    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
1792    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
1793    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
1794    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
1795    for new entrances.
1796
1797  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
1798    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
1799    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
1800    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
1801
1802  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
1803
1804  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
1805    to show via the right-click menu.
1806
1807  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
1808    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
1809    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
1810    child surveys of the parent.
1811
1812  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
1813    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
1814    survey.
1815
1816  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
1817    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
1818
1819  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
1820
1821  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
1822    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
1823
1824  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
1825    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
1826    filtering this matters more).
1827
1828* survexport:
1829
1830  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
1831    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
1832
1833  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
1834
1835* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
1836
1837* Minor translation updates.
1838
1839* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
1840
1841* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
1842
1843* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
1844
1845Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
1846
1847* aven:
1848
1849  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
1850    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
1851    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
1852    on screen, printed and exported.
1853
1854  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
1855    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
1856    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
1857    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
1858    survey.
1859
1860  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
1861    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
1862    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
1863    view.  Reported by Wookey.
1864
1865  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
1866    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
1867    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
1868
1869  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
1870    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
1871
1872  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
1873    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
1874
1875  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
1876    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
1877
1878  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
1879    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
1880
1881  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
1882    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
1883
1884* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
1885  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
1886  tools could do, plus much more.
1887
1888* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
1889
1890* Minor updates to various other translations.
1891
1892* img library:
1893
1894  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
1895
1896  + Improve API documentation.
1897
1898* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
1899  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
1900  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
1901
1902* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
1903  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
1904  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
1905  control what gets exported.
1906
1907Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
1908
1909* aven:
1910
1911  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1912    of 1.2.33.
1913
1914  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
1915
1916Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
1917
1918* aven:
1919
1920  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
1921    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
1922    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
1923    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
1924
1925  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
1926    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
1927    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
1928    Erin Lynch.
1929
1930  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
1931    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
1932    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
1933
1934  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
1935    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
1936    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
1937    unnecessarily.
1938
1939  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
1940    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
1941    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
1942    for this control).
1943
1944  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
1945    under GTK3.
1946
1947  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
1948    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
1949    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
1950
1951  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
1952    current development version).
1953
1954  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
1955    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
1956    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
1957
1958* cavern:
1959
1960  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
1961    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
1962    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
1963    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
1964    "19".
1965
1966* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
1967  Evaristo Quiroga.
1968
1969* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1970
1971* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
1972  milosch.
1973
1974* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
1975  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
1976  translated messages.
1977
1978* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
1979  Indonesian and Polish.
1980
1981* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
1982  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
1983  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1984
1985* Fix a few compiler warnings.
1986
1987* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
1988  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
1989  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
1990
1991* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
1992
1993  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
1994    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
1995    but happens to fail if it isn't.
1996
1997  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
1998
1999  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
2000
2001  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
2002
2003* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
2004  detected at run time on macOS.
2005
2006* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
2007  by the homebrew formula.
2008
2009* buildmacosx.sh:
2010
2011  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
2012    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
2013
2014  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
2015
2016* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
2017  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
2018
2019Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
2020
2021* aven:
2022
2023  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
2024    and Anthony Day.
2025
2026  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
2027    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
2028    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
2029    Erin Lynch in #89.
2030
2031  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
2032    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
2033    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
2034    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
2035    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
2036    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
2037    elevations.
2038
2039  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
2040    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
2041    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
2042
2043  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
2044    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
2045    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
2046    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
2047    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
2048    "on".
2049
2050  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
2051    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
2052
2053  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
2054    the display wouldn't update right away.
2055
2056* Manual:
2057
2058  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
2059
2060  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
2061
2062* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
2063  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
2064  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
2065  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
2066  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
2067
2068Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
2069
2070* aven:
2071
2072  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
2073    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
2074    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
2075
2076  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
2077    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
2078    before by others.
2079
2080  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
2081
2082  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
2083    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
2084    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
2085    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
2086    original change.
2087
2088  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
2089    which extends beyond the end of the line).
2090
2091  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
2092    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
2093
2094  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
2095
2096  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
2097
2098  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
2099    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
2100    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
2101    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
2102    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
2103    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
2104    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
2105
2106  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
2107    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
2108
2109  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
2110    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
2111    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
2112
2113  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
2114    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
2115    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
2116    much vertical range.
2117
2118  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
2119    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
2120    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
2121    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
2122    are drawn in this way.
2123
2124  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
2125    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
2126    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
2127    centre should be a single pixel.
2128
2129* cavern:
2130
2131  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
2132    entering passage data where there are side passages.
2133
2134  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
2135    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
2136
2137  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
2138    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
2139    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
2140    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
2141
2142  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
2143    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
2144    Reported by Erin Lynch.
2145
2146  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
2147    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
2148    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
2149    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
2150
2151  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
2152    other messages.
2153
2154* extend:
2155
2156  + Now runs a bit faster.
2157
2158  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
2159    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
2160    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
2161    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
2162    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
2163    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
2164    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
2165    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
2166    be handled better) most welcome.
2167
2168* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
2169
2170* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
2171
2172* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
2173  translations from therion.
2174
2175* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
2176  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
2177
2178* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
2179  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
2180  Footleg.
2181
2182* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
2183
2184* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
2185
2186Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
2187
2188* aven:
2189
2190  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
2191    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2192
2193  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
2194    Suggested by detrito.
2195
2196  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
2197    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
2198
2199  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
2200    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
2201
2202* Add man page for dump3d.
2203
2204Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
2205
2206* aven:
2207
2208  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
2209    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
2210
2211  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
2212    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2213
2214* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
2215  Lynch and "detrito".
2216
2217* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
2218  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
2219
2220Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
2221
2222* cavern:
2223
2224  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
2225    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
2226    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
2227    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
2228    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
2229
2230  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
2231
2232  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
2233
2234  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
2235    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
2236    degrees).
2237
2238* aven:
2239
2240  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
2241    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
2242    Day.
2243
2244  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
2245    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
2246
2247  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
2248    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
2249
2250  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
2251    of the line in cavern log window.
2252
2253  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
2254
2255  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
2256
2257  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
2258    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
2259    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
2260    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
2261    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
2262
2263  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
2264    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
2265    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
2266
2267  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
2268
2269  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
2270
2271  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
2272    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
2273    Atkinson and myself.
2274
2275  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
2276
2277  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
2278    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
2279    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
2280    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
2281    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
2282    survey.
2283
2284  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
2285    lines on my netbook.
2286
2287  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
2288    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
2289    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
2290
2291  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
2292    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
2293    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
2294    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
2295    glitches.
2296
2297  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
2298    we currently list, though slower to write.
2299
2300  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
2301    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
2302
2303  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
2304    warnings when building against a recent version.
2305
2306  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
2307    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
2308    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
2309    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
2310
2311  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
2312    movie export.
2313
2314  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
2315    export.
2316
2317* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
2318  James Begley.
2319
2320* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
2321  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
2322
2323* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
2324
2325* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
2326  messages get used automatically.
2327
2328* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
2329  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
2330
2331* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
2332
2333* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
2334
2335* Use https for more URLs which support it.
2336
2337Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
2338
2339* aven:
2340
2341  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
2342    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
2343    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
2344    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
2345    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
2346    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
2347    probably change in the future).
2348
2349  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
2350    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
2351    the survey tree root.
2352
2353  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
2354    the view was recentred).
2355
2356  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
2357    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
2358    wrong direction).
2359
2360  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
2361    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
2362    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
2363
2364  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
2365    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
2366    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
2367    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
2368
2369  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
2370    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
2371
2372  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
2373    addresses #60.
2374
2375  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
2376
2377  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
2378    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
2379    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
2380
2381  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
2382
2383  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
2384    360 or down past 0.
2385
2386  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
2387    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
2388    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
2389    real-valued ones.
2390
2391  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
2392    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
2393
2394  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
2395    Lynch.
2396
2397  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
2398
2399  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
2400    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
2401
2402  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
2403    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
2404    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
2405
2406  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
2407    should now work.
2408
2409* cavern:
2410
2411  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
2412
2413  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
2414    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
2415    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
2416
2417  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
2418    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
2419    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
2420
2421  + Fix check for end of version number array in *require.  We would check up
2422    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
2423    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
2424    issue.
2425
2426  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
2427    by patch from Colin Watson.
2428
2429  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
2430
2431* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
2432
2433* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
2434  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
2435
2436* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
2437  used in the same dataset.
2438
2439* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
2440  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
2441
2442* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
2443  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
2444  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
2445
2446* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
2447
2448Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
2449
2450* aven:
2451
2452  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
2453    cavern again.
2454
2455* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
2456  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
2457  location and use the same start menu folder.
2458
2459* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
2460  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
2461
2462* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
2463  by James Begley.
2464
2465Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
2466
2467* aven:
2468
2469  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
2470    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
2471    to address.
2472
2473  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
2474    over the survey tree.
2475
2476  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
2477
2478  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
2479    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
2480
2481  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
2482    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
2483    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
2484    encoded.
2485
2486  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
2487    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
2488    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
2489    terminals which do still support this.
2490
2491  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
2492    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
2493
2494* cavern:
2495
2496  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
2497    Edwards (see #78).
2498
2499  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
2500    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
2501    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
2502    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
2503
2504  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
2505    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
2506    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
2507
2508  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
2509    from Pete Smart (see #69).
2510
2511* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
2512  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
2513  Black.
2514
2515* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
2516
2517* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
2518  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
2519  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
2520  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
2521  Black.
2522
2523* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
2524  Black.
2525
2526* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
2527
2528* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
2529
2530* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
2531
2532* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
2533
2534* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
2535
2536* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
2537  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
2538
2539* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
2540  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
2541  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
2542
2543* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
2544  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
2545  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
2546  privileges or not.
2547
2548Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
2549
2550* aven:
2551
2552  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
2553    Clipstone.
2554
2555  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
2556    Reported by Jenny Black.
2557
2558  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
2559    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
2560    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
2561
2562  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
2563    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
2564    messages.
2565
2566  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
2567    the terminal in 1.2.23.
2568
2569* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
2570  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
2571
2572* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
2573
2574* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
2575  by Wookey.
2576
2577Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
2578
2579* aven:
2580
2581  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
2582    machines.
2583
2584  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
2585
2586  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
2587    already being processed.
2588
2589  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
2590    Reported by Martin Green.
2591
2592  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
2593
2594* cavern:
2595
2596  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
2597    find the original survey notes).
2598
2599  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
2600    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
2601    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
2602    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
2603    progress display to be useful.
2604
2605* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
2606
2607* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
2608  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
2609
2610* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
2611  running cavern.
2612
2613* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
2614  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
2615  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
2616
2617Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
2618
2619* aven:
2620
2621  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
2622    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
2623    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
2624    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
2625    finding this fix.
2626
2627* cavern:
2628
2629  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
2630
2631  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
2632    station.
2633
2634  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
2635    *export.
2636
2637Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
2638
2639* aven:
2640
2641  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
2642    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
2643    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
2644
2645  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
2646
2647  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
2648    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
2649    does.
2650
2651  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
2652    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
2653
2654  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
2655    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
2656
2657  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
2658    as appropriate.
2659
2660  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
2661    values on Windows.
2662
2663* cavern:
2664
2665  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
2666    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
2667    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
2668
2669  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
2670    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
2671
2672  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
2673    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
2674    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
2675    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
2676
2677  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
2678    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
2679    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
2680    Atkinson.
2681
2682  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
2683    actual error rather than on a separate line.
2684
2685  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
2686    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
2687    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
2688    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
2689
2690  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
2691    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
2692    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
2693
2694* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
2695  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
2696  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
2697  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
2698
2699* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
2700
2701* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
2702  "*DECLINATION" command.
2703
2704* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
2705  Reported by Jenny Black.
2706
2707* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
2708  documentation.
2709
2710* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
2711  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
2712
2713* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
2714
2715* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
2716
2717Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
2718
2719* aven:
2720
2721  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
2722    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
2723    the same or very similar by default.
2724
2725  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
2726    Maynard.
2727
2728  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
2729
2730  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
2731
2732  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
2733    away.
2734
2735  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
2736
2737  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
2738    display it.
2739
2740* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
2741  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
2742  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
2743  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
2744
2745* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
2746
2747* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
2748  before 1.2.19.
2749
2750* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
2751  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
2752
2753* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
2754
2755* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
2756  disk image.
2757
2758* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
2759
2760* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
2761  libav features we don't use.
2762
2763* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
2764  a load of libav features we don't use.
2765
2766* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
2767  message in the installer.
2768
2769Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
2770
2771* aven:
2772
2773  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
2774    the exported file in 1.2.18.
2775
2776  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
2777
2778  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
2779    exit full screen mode.
2780
2781  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
2782    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
2783    using since 1.2.7).
2784
2785  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
2786    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
2787    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
2788    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
2789    St. Lawrence.
2790
2791  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
2792    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
2793
2794  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
2795    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
2796    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
2797
2798  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
2799    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
2800    case like we do on other platforms.
2801
2802  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
2803
2804  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
2805    support multi-monitor setups.
2806
2807  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
2808    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
2809
2810  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
2811    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
2812
2813  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
2814    cases.
2815
2816  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
2817    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
2818    Erin Lynch)
2819
2820  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
2821    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
2822    items in in so it uses the full width.
2823
2824  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
2825    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
2826    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
2827    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
2828    window.
2829
2830  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
2831    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
2832    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
2833    only relevant on the first ever run.
2834
2835* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
2836
2837* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
2838  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
2839  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
2840  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
2841  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
2842  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
2843
2844* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
2845  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
2846
2847Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
2848
2849* aven:
2850
2851  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
2852    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
2853    rendering it as a transparent surface.
2854
2855  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
2856    sanely want to perform from the menu.
2857
2858  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
2859    colouring options.
2860
2861  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
2862
2863  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
2864    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
2865    pressing "Escape".
2866
2867  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
2868    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
2869
2870  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
2871    exporting.
2872
2873  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
2874
2875  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
2876    is quite likely to change.
2877
2878  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
2879    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
2880
2881  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
2882    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
2883    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
2884
2885  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
2886
2887  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
2888    markers in orange.
2889
2890  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
2891    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
2892
2893  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
2894    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
2895    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
2896    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
2897    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
2898    them would be better.
2899
2900  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
2901    Gee.
2902
2903  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
2904    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
2905    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
2906
2907  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
2908
2909* cavern:
2910
2911  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
2912    susscorfa).
2913
2914  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
2915    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
2916
2917  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
2918
2919  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
2920    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
2921
2922  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
2923    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
2924
2925* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
2926
2927* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
2928  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
2929  in a modern desktop.
2930
2931* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
2932  the filename in the error message.
2933
2934* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
2935  most complete translations.
2936
2937* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
2938
2939* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
2940  lacks them.
2941
2942* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
2943
2944* Manual:
2945
2946  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
2947    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
2948
2949  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
2950
2951  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
2952
2953  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
2954    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
2955    available for download.
2956
2957* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
2958  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
2959  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
2960
2961* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2962
2963* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
2964
2965Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
2966
2967* MacOS X version:
2968
2969  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
2970
2971  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
2972
2973  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
2974
2975  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
2976
2977  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
2978    currently do this for us.
2979
2980  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
2981
2982  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
2983
2984  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
2985
2986  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
2987    OS X cursor.
2988
2989  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
2990    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
2991    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
2992    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
2993    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
2994    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
2995    with TextEdit.app for example).
2996
2997  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
2998    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
2999
3000  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
3001
3002  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
3003    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
3004
3005  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
3006    Riggs.
3007
3008  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
3009    space.
3010
3011  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
3012
3013  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
3014    10.10.1.
3015
3016  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
3017    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
3018    errors.
3019
3020  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
3021    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
3022    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
3023    wxWidgets build supports by default.
3024
3025  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
3026
3027* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
3028  treat as a single leg.
3029
3030* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
3031
3032* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
3033
3034* aven:
3035
3036  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
3037    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
3038
3039  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
3040    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
3041    1:500).
3042
3043  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
3044    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
3045    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
3046    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
3047
3048  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
3049    there rather than the two animations fighting.
3050
3051  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
3052    fast.
3053
3054  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
3055    when rotating).
3056
3057  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
3058    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
3059
3060* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
3061  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
3062
3063* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
3064
3065* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
3066
3067* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
3068
3069* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
3070
3071* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
3072  we're using git.
3073
3074* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
3075
3076  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
3077    compass.
3078
3079  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
3080
3081  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
3082
3083Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
3084
3085* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
3086
3087* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
3088
3089* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
3090
3091* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
3092  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
3093
3094* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
3095
3096* tests/: Improve test coverage.
3097
3098* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
3099  Greek and Polish.
3100
3101* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
3102  by Martin Sluka.
3103
3104* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
3105  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
3106
3107Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
3108
3109* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
3110  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
3111  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
3112  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
3113  for *cs has also been improved.
3114
3115* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
3116  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
3117  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
3118  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
3119
3120* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
3121  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
3122  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
3123  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
3124  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
3125
3126* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
3127  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
3128  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
3129
3130* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
3131
3132* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
3133
3134* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
3135  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
3136  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
3137
3138* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
3139  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
3140
3141Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
3142
3143* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
3144  system in use in 3d v8 files.
3145
3146* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
3147  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
3148  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
3149  export dialog.
3150
3151* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
3152  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
3153  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
3154  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
3155  rather than having one corner there.
3156
3157* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
3158  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
3159
3160* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
3161  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
3162
3163* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
3164  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
3165  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
3166
3167* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
3168  such as 64-bit Linux.
3169
3170* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
3171  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
3172
3173* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
3174  64-bit platforms.
3175
3176* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
3177  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
3178  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
3179
3180* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
3181  the space available in the aven UI.
3182
3183* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
3184  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
3185  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
3186
3187* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
3188  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
3189
3190* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
3191  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
3192  about unconnected surveys.
3193
3194* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
3195  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
3196
3197* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
3198  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
3199  freed memory.
3200
3201* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
3202
3203* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
3204
3205* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
3206
3207* Fix a compiler warning.
3208
3209* Improve test coverage.
3210
3211Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
3212
3213* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
3214  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
3215  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
3216
3217* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
3218  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
3219  Hugh St Lawrence.
3220
3221* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
3222  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
3223  with using aven on a touch screen device.
3224
3225* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
3226  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
3227
3228* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
3229  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
3230
3231* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
3232  off and back on.
3233
3234* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
3235  up time a little.
3236
3237* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
3238  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
3239
3240* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
3241  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
3242  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
3243  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
3244  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
3245  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
3246  situation too.
3247
3248* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
3249  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
3250  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
3251
3252* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
3253
3254* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
3255
3256* Minor translation updates to French.
3257
3258* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
3259
3260* Testsuite improvements:
3261
3262  + Test that "..." anon station works.
3263
3264  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
3265    fail and give an error count.
3266
3267  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
3268
3269Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
3270
3271* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
3272  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
3273  Clipstone.
3274
3275* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
3276
3277* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
3278
3279  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
3280    overlap the scale bar ticks.
3281
3282  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
3283    clipping the border in print preview.
3284
3285  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
3286
3287* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
3288  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
3289
3290* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
3291  available.
3292
3293* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
3294
3295* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
3296
3297* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
3298  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
3299
3300* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
3301  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
3302
3303* Various translation updates.
3304
3305Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
3306
3307* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
3308  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
3309
3310* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
3311  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
3312  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
3313  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
3314
3315* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
3316  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
3317
3318* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
3319  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
3320
3321* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
3322  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
3323
3324* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
3325  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
3326
3327* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
3328  box".
3329
3330* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
3331
3332* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
3333  indicators.
3334
3335* aven: All length units are now translatable.
3336
3337* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
3338  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
3339  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
3340
3341* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
3342  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
3343  measurably slower.
3344
3345* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
3346  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
3347
3348* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
3349  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
3350
3351* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
3352  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
3353  from Therion and elsewhere.
3354
3355* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
3356  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
3357  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
3358
3359* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
3360  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
3361
3362* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
3363  A. Riggs for his work on this.
3364
3365* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
3366  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
3367
3368* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
3369
3370* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
3371  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
3372  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
3373  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
3374  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
3375  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
3376
3377* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
3378
3379Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
3380
3381* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
3382  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
3383  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
3384  Clipstone.
3385
3386* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
3387  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
3388
3389* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
3390  exported SVG files.
3391
3392* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
3393
3394* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
3395  file.
3396
3397* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
3398  GPX files.
3399
3400* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
3401
3402* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
3403  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
3404
3405* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
3406  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
3407  on startup.
3408
3409* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
3410
3411* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
3412  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
3413  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
3414  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
3415  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
3416  other extensions.
3417
3418* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
3419  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
3420  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
3421  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
3422  timezone wrong.
3423
3424* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
3425
3426* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
3427  'SURVEY DATE:'.
3428
3429* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
3430
3431* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
3432
3433* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
3434  enabled.
3435
3436Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
3437
3438* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
3439
3440* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
3441
3442* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
3443
3444* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
3445  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
3446  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
3447
3448* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
3449  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
3450  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
3451
3452* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
3453  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
3454
3455* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
3456
3457* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
3458
3459* Fix some compiler warnings.
3460
3461Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
3462
3463* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
3464  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
3465  Holder.
3466
3467* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
3468  statistics when the value gets large.
3469
3470* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
3471  equations.
3472
3473* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
3474  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
3475  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
3476  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
3477  better when the "View" box is hidden.
3478
3479* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
3480  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
3481
3482* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
3483  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
3484  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
3485  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
3486  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
3487  way is coming soon.
3488
3489* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
3490  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
3491
3492* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
3493  time ago, so update references.
3494
3495* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
3496  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
3497
3498* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
3499  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
3500
3501* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
3502  Sebastian Ramacher.
3503
3504* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
3505
3506* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
3507
3508* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
3509
3510* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
3511
3512* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
3513
3514* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
3515  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
3516  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
3517
3518* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
3519
3520* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
3521
3522* img library:
3523
3524  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
3525    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
3526    reading).
3527
3528  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
3529    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
3530
3531  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
3532    support these as an extension.
3533
3534  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
3535
3536* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
3537  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
3538  itself has any translations for.
3539
3540* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
3541
3542* Minor translation updates.
3543
3544* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
3545
3546Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
3547
3548* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
3549  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
3550  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
3551  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
3552  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
3553  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
3554  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
3555  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
3556
3557* New version 8 of the 3d format:
3558
3559  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
3560
3561  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
3562    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
3563
3564  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
3565    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
3566
3567  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
3568
3569  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
3570    human-readable string.
3571
3572  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
3573    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
3574
3575* img library:
3576
3577  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
3578
3579  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
3580    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
3581
3582  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
3583    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
3584    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
3585    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
3586    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
3587    explicitly in the file.
3588
3589  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
3590
3591* aven:
3592
3593  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
3594    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
3595    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
3596    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
3597    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
3598    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
3599
3600  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
3601    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
3602    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
3603    queued up.
3604
3605  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
3606    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
3607
3608  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
3609    them like other legs.
3610
3611  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
3612    station names to positions.
3613
3614  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
3615    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
3616    wrongly.
3617
3618  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
3619
3620  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
3621    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
3622    that's used by the desktop).
3623
3624  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
3625
3626  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
3627    error from cavern.
3628
3629  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
3630
3631  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
3632    in the dialog in sync.
3633
3634* cavern:
3635
3636  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
3637    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
3638    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
3639
3640  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
3641    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
3642
3643  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
3644    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
3645    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
3646    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
3647    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
3648    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
3649    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
3650    degrees.
3651
3652  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
3653    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
3654    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
3655
3656  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
3657
3658  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
3659    warnings.
3660
3661  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
3662    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
3663
3664  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
3665    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
3666
3667  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
3668    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
3669    relevant.
3670
3671  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
3672    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
3673    the same line.
3674
3675  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
3676    "End of line not blank" error.
3677
3678  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
3679    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
3680
3681  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
3682    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
3683
3684  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
3685    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
3686    include that character in the token reported.
3687
3688  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
3689    first item.
3690
3691* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
3692
3693* dump3d:
3694
3695  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
3696    info from 3d files in scripts.
3697
3698  + Add --show-dates option.
3699
3700  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
3701
3702  + Report the data style of legs.
3703
3704  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
3705
3706  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
3707
3708* Test suite:
3709
3710  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
3711    expected output so it passes reliably.
3712
3713  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
3714    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
3715
3716  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
3717    for more.
3718
3719* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
3720  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
3721  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
3722
3723* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
3724  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
3725
3726* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
3727  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
3728
3729* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
3730  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
3731  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
3732  settings.
3733
3734* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
3735  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
3736  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
3737  set correctly.
3738
3739* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
3740  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
3741  them to translate.
3742
3743* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
3744  close to complete.
3745
3746* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
3747
3748* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
3749
3750* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
3751
3752Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
3753
3754* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
3755
3756* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
3757  package (ticket#35).
3758
3759* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
3760  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
3761  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
3762
3763* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
3764  Kahler.
3765
3766* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
3767  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
3768  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
3769  libproj and build survex with:
3770
3771      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3772      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3773
3774* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
3775
3776* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
3777
3778* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
3779  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
3780  file".
3781
3782Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
3783
3784* aven:
3785
3786  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
3787
3788  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
3789    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
3790
3791  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
3792
3793  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
3794
3795  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
3796    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
3797
3798* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
3799  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
3800  error early on).
3801
3802* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
3803  the man page source as well as in the filename.
3804
3805Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
3806
3807* aven:
3808
3809  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
3810    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
3811    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
3812    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
3813
3814  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and choose a consistent
3815    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
3816
3817  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
3818
3819  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
3820
3821  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
3822
3823* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
3824
3825Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
3826
3827* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
3828
3829* (Mac OS X version):
3830
3831  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
3832
3833  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
3834
3835  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
3836    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
3837
3838  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
3839
3840* aven:
3841
3842  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
3843
3844  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
3845
3846    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
3847      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
3848      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
3849      character.
3850
3851    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
3852      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
3853      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
3854      and two in a few cases.
3855
3856    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
3857      8 pixels.
3858
3859  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
3860    draw crosses.
3861
3862  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
3863    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
3864    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
3865    is the start or end of a tube.
3866
3867  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
3868    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
3869
3870  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
3871    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
3872    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
3873
3874* extend:
3875
3876  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
3877
3878  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
3879    which means "no info").
3880
3881* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
3882  was no longer used - it certainly is!
3883
3884* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
3885  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
3886  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
3887  current character set.
3888
3889* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
3890
3891* Test suite:
3892
3893  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
3894
3895  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
3896
3897Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
3898
3899* aven:
3900
3901  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
3902    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
3903    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
3904    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
3905    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
3906    usable format.
3907
3908  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
3909    files.  (ticket#26)
3910
3911  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
3912    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
3913
3914  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
3915    using lines.
3916
3917  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
3918    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
3919
3920  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
3921    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
3922    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
3923    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
3924
3925  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
3926    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
3927    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
3928
3929  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
3930    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
3931    in 1.2.1.
3932
3933Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
3934
3935* Translation updates for US English.
3936
3937* aven:
3938
3939  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
3940    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
3941
3942  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
3943
3944  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
3945    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
3946    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
3947    visually similar to the survey legs.
3948
3949  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
3950    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
3951
3952  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
3953    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
3954    does still provide some useful information).
3955
3956  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
3957    a depth band boundary.
3958
3959  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
3960    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
3961    full-screen mode).
3962
3963  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
3964    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
3965    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
3966    are a little better, though still not perfect.
3967
3968  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
3969    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
3970
3971  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
3972    that station.
3973
3974  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
3975    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
3976
3977  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
3978    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
3979    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
3980    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
3981    a case as it is a bug).
3982
3983  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
3984    invalidated on window width or height changes.
3985
3986  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
3987    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
3988    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
3989    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
3990
3991  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
3992    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
3993    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
3994    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
3995    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
3996    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
3997    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
3998
3999  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
4000    similarly for other compass points.
4001
4002  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
4003    info in the "About" dialog.
4004
4005  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
4006    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
4007
4008  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
4009    as well as still working with older versions.
4010
4011  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
4012    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
4013
4014  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
4015    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
4016    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
4017    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
4018    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
4019
4020  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
4021    nicer and make better use of the available space.
4022
4023  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
4024    dialog.
4025
4026  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
4027    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
4028
4029  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
4030    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
4031
4032  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
4033
4034  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
4035
4036  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
4037    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
4038    being pressed and toggle full screen.
4039
4040* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
4041  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
4042
4043* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
4044
4045* More messages are now available to be translated.
4046
4047* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
4048  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
4049
4050* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
4051
4052* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
4053  sudo for installing on Unix.
4054
4055* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
4056  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
4057
4058* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
4059  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
4060
4061* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
4062
4063Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
4064
4065* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
4066  English.
4067
4068* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
4069  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
4070  case.
4071
4072* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
4073  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
4074  these into Survex's .msg format.
4075
4076* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
4077  an actual command).
4078
4079* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
4080  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
4081  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
4082  recurrence of that).
4083
4084* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
4085  than /usr/doc/survex.
4086
4087* aven:
4088
4089  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
4090
4091  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
4092    nicer at larger sizes.
4093
4094  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
4095    with GLX >= 1.3.
4096
4097  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
4098
4099  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
4100    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
4101    required libraries set up for building releases.
4102
4103  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
4104
4105  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
4106
4107  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
4108    rendered with icons on some platforms.
4109
4110  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
4111    ISO8859-1).
4112
4113  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
4114    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
4115
4116  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
4117    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
4118
4119* cavern:
4120
4121  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
4122    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
4123    fatal error!
4124
4125  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
4126    format to output.  (ticket#21)
4127
4128* img library:
4129
4130  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
4131    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
4132
4133* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
4134  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
4135
4136Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
4137
4138* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
4139  Portuguese, and US English.
4140
4141* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
4142  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
4143
4144* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
4145  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
4146
4147* img.c:
4148
4149  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
4150
4151  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
4152
4153* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
4154
4155* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
4156  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
4157  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
4158  translated.
4159
4160Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
4161
4162* aven:
4163
4164  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
4165    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
4166
4167  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
4168    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
4169    addresses ticket#12.
4170
4171  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
4172    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
4173    consistent shape.
4174
4175  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
4176    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
4177    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
4178    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
4179
4180  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
4181    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
4182
4183  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
4184
4185  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
4186    more places.
4187
4188  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
4189    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
4190
4191* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
4192
4193* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
4194  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
4195
4196* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
4197
4198* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
4199  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
4200  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
4201  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
4202  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
4203  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
4204
4205* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
4206  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
4207  redirecting to it.
4208
4209* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
4210  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
4211  I/O).
4212
4213* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
4214  headers.
4215
4216* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
4217
4218* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
4219  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
4220
4221* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
4222
4223Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
4224
4225* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
4226
4227* aven:
4228
4229  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
4230    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
4231    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
4232    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
4233
4234  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
4235
4236  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
4237    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
4238    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
4239    a number.
4240
4241  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
4242    log window.
4243
4244  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
4245    various cases.
4246
4247  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
4248    (ticket#9)
4249
4250  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
4251    namespace with its own "Point" class.
4252
4253  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
4254    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
4255
4256  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
4257
4258  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
4259    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
4260
4261* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
4262  give them before.
4263
4264* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
4265  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
4266  point looking for them now.
4267
4268* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
4269  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
4270  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
4271  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
4272
4273* manual:
4274
4275  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
4276
4277  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
4278    (change taken from 1.0).
4279
4280* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
4281
4282Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
4283
4284* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
4285
4286* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
4287
4288* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
4289
4290* aven:
4291
4292  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
4293
4294  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
4295    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
4296    seem to be Unicode now).
4297
4298  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
4299    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
4300
4301  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
4302    text on the survey pane:
4303
4304    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
4305
4306    - Character spacing is improved.
4307
4308    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
4309
4310  + "About" dialog:
4311
4312    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
4313      bug reporting.
4314
4315    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
4316      modern gfx card.
4317
4318    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
4319
4320  + Processing .svx files:
4321
4322    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
4323
4324    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
4325      than opening a separate frame for it.
4326
4327    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
4328
4329    - Fix small memory leak.
4330
4331  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
4332    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
4333    such a name.
4334
4335  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
4336
4337  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
4338    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
4339    invocations.
4340
4341  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
4342
4343  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
4344
4345  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
4346
4347* Documentation:
4348
4349  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
4350
4351  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
4352    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
4353    together isn't very useful.
4354
4355  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
4356
4357  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
4358    the FSF website.
4359
4360  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
4361    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
4362    the source code.
4363
4364* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
4365  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
4366
4367* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
4368  package from the source tarball.
4369
4370* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
4371  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
4372
4373Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
4374
4375* aven:
4376
4377  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
4378
4379  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
4380
4381  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
4382    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
4383    names/crosses).
4384
4385Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
4386
4387* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
4388
4389* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
4390
4391* aven:
4392
4393  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
4394
4395  + Fix character spacing.
4396
4397  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
4398    proportional fonts.
4399
4400  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
4401    rather than the filename.
4402
4403  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
4404
4405  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
4406    depth colouring.
4407
4408  + Add "Colour by Error".
4409
4410  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
4411
4412  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
4413
4414  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
4415
4416  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
4417
4418  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
4419
4420  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
4421
4422  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
4423
4424  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
4425    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
4426
4427  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
4428
4429  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
4430    default.
4431
4432* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
4433  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
4434
4435* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
4436  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
4437
4438* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
4439
4440* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
4441
4442Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
4443
4444* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
4445  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
4446  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
4447  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
4448  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
4449
4450* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
4451  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
4452  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
4453
4454* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
4455  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
4456  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
4457
4458* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
4459  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
4460  allowed).
4461
4462* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
4463
4464* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4465
4466* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4467
4468Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
4469
4470* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
4471  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
4472
4473* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
4474  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
4475  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
4476
4477* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
4478  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
4479  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
4480  the new "*data passage" style.
4481
4482* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
4483  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
4484
4485* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
4486  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
4487  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
4488  some cases.
4489
4490* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
4491  with no survey loaded.
4492
4493* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
4494
4495* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
4496  loaded a survey.
4497
4498* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
4499
4500* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
4501
4502* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
4503  doesn't exist.
4504
4505* Updated French and Italian translations.
4506
4507* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
4508  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
4509
4510* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
4511  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
4512  update their copy).
4513
4514* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
4515  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
4516  trying to compile).
4517
4518Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
4519
4520* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
4521  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
4522
4523* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
4524  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
4525  has been disabled.
4526
4527* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
4528  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
4529  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
4530  time.
4531
4532* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
4533  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
4534  highlighted stations.
4535
4536* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
4537
4538* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
4539  the tilt from plan to elevation.
4540
4541* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
4542  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
4543
4544* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
4545  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
4546  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
4547
4548* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
4549  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
4550
4551* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
4552
4553* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
4554
4555* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
4556
4557* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
4558  run by an unprivileged user.
4559
4560* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
4561  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
4562  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
4563
4564* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
4565  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
4566
4567* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
4568
4569* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
4570  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
4571
4572* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
4573  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
4574
4575* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
4576  if it isn't.
4577
4578* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
4579  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
4580
4581* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
4582  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
4583
4584* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
4585  reset to default view as well).
4586
4587* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
4588  empty.
4589
4590* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
4591  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
4592
4593* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
4594  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
4595  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
4596
4597* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
4598  and non-zero width lines.
4599
4600* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
4601  was turned on.
4602
4603* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
4604  not always being fully written.
4605
4606Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
4607
4608* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
4609  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
4610  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
4611  date near the middle of that period).
4612
4613* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
4614  with MS Windows).
4615
4616* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
4617  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
4618  several surveys in the same directory).
4619
4620* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
4621  our check for them to include that knowledge.
4622
4623* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
4624
4625* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
4626  moved off a station.
4627
4628* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
4629  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
4630
4631* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
4632
4633* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
4634  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
4635
4636* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
4637  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
4638  dialogs.
4639
4640* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
4641  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
4642
4643* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
4644  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
4645  introduced in 1.1.6).
4646
4647* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
4648  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
4649  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
4650
4651* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
4652  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
4653
4654* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
4655
4656* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
4657
4658Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
4659
4660* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
4661  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
4662
4663* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
4664  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
4665  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
4666  3d file.
4667
4668* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
4669
4670* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
4671
4672* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
4673  Instead turn off depth colouring.
4674
4675* aven: Export as HPGL added.
4676
4677* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
4678  Martin Green).
4679
4680* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
4681  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
4682  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
4683
4684* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
4685
4686* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
4687  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
4688
4689* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
4690  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
4691  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
4692  of everything else.
4693
4694* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
4695  presentation icons.
4696
4697* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
4698  keyboard focus there.
4699
4700* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
4701
4702* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
4703
4704* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
4705
4706* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
4707
4708* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
4709  language to use for messages.
4710
4711* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
4712  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
4713
4714* Removed old printer drivers.
4715
4716* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
4717  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
4718
4719Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
4720
4721* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
4722
4723* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
4724
4725* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
4726  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
4727
4728* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
4729  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
4730
4731* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
4732
4733* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
4734  underground legs is toggled.
4735
4736* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
4737  attached to the previous data.
4738
4739* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
4740  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
4741  them.
4742
4743Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
4744
4745* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
4746
4747* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
4748  continental European countries).
4749
4750* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
4751  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
4752  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
4753
4754* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
4755
4756* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
4757  they're needed.
4758
4759* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
4760
4761* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
4762
4763* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
4764
4765* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
4766  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
4767  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
4768
4769* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
4770
4771Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
4772
4773* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
4774
4775* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
4776
4777* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
4778
4779* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
4780
4781* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
4782
4783* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
4784
4785* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
4786  when there's a presentation loaded.
4787
4788* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
4789  in cave view.
4790
4791* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
4792
4793* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
4794  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
4795  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
4796
4797* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
4798  filename for file history and window title.
4799
4800* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
4801  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
4802  only needed with GTK1.2.
4803
4804* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
4805
4806* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
4807
4808* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
4809
4810* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
4811
4812Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
4813
4814* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
4815  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
4816  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
4817
4818* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
4819  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
4820
4821* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
4822  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
4823  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
4824  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
4825
4826* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
4827
4828* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
4829  with --help and --version.
4830
4831* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
4832  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
4833  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
4834  Fixed all these problems.
4835
4836* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
4837  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
4838  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
4839
4840* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
4841  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
4842  sources.
4843
4844* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
4845
4846* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
4847
4848* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
4849  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
4850
4851* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
4852  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
4853  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
4854  animating.
4855
4856* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
4857
4858* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
4859
4860* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
4861  to this branch.
4862
4863* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
4864
4865  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
4866
4867  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
4868
4869  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
4870
4871* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
4872
4873* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
4874  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
4875
4876* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
4877
4878* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
4879  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
4880
4881* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
4882
4883* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
4884  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
4885  for anyone building from CVS).
4886
4887* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
4888
4889* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
4890
4891* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
4892
4893* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
4894
4895* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
4896  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
4897  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
4898
4899* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
4900  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
4901
4902* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
4903
4904* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
4905  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
4906  loaded).
4907
4908* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
4909
4910Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
4911
4912* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
4913  startup.
4914
4915* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
4916  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
4917
4918Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
4919
4920* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
4921  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
4922  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
4923
4924* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
4925  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
4926  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
4927
4928* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
4929  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
4930  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
4931
4932* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
4933
4934* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
4935  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
4936
4937* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
4938  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
4939
4940* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
4941  better use of screen space.
4942
4943* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
4944
4945* aven: Perspective view.
4946
4947* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
4948
4949* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
4950  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
4951
4952* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
4953  and load/save/run them.
4954
4955* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
4956
4957* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
4958
4959* aven: Depth fogging option.
4960
4961* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
4962
4963* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
4964
4965* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
4966  showing the surface legs.
4967
4968* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
