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