3Changes in 1.4.10 (2024-08-??):
4
5* aven:
6
7  + Use a fixed rotation rate for rotating the view to North, South, East or
8    West (shortcut keys `N`, `S`, `E` and `W`).  We were using the same
9    variable rate which auto-rotation does for this case, but really these are
10    just animations to help the user see the change that's happening, so a
11    fixed rate makes more sense (and is what tilting to plan or elevation
12    does).  The new fixed rotation rate for this is double what the default
13    variable rate was, which means the longest rotation (e.g. from S to N)
14    takes 3 seconds rather than 6.
15
16* aven/survexport:
17
18  + Fix syntax of shot flags in PLT export (incorrect since introduced in
19    1.4.6).
20
21  + Map Survex duplicate flag to `L` shot flag in PLT export.
22
23  + Invent shorter names for anonymous stations in PLT export.  The PLT file
24    format documentation says station names can be up to 12 characters, but the
25    ones we generated were longer than this which is liable to trip up
26    consumers of this format that only allow for the specified length.
27    We now generate names using a sequential counter with a two character
28    prefix so they should fit in the 12 character limit for any cave
29    survey.
30
31  + 3D export now includes all leg and station flags.
32
33* cavern:
34
35  + Unconnected survey stations are now handled as a warning, whereas
36    previously this was an error.  This is necessary when processing Walls data
37    where it seems having hanging surveys is the norm, and Walls itself only
38    warns about them.
39
40    The support is also enabled for native Survex data since it allows viewing
41    the connected parts of a survey with missing connections without having to
42    comment out the unconnected parts (and then remember to fully uncomment
43    once connections are surveyed).  Fixes #16, reported by Duncan Collis.
44
45    Currently the component count and loop count are not shown in this case.
46
47  + Avoid multiple reports of an unconnected survey station.  This could happen
48    in some cases where a group of equated stations had more than four legs
49    connected to it.
50
51  + Fix missing report of unconnected survey station.  We aim to report at
52    least one station in every unconnected piece of survey, but if a piece had
53    been simplified to a single station which was anonymous (e.g. a disto splay
54    shot) then we wouldn't report anything for that piece.  Now we find the
55    traverse that was attached to it and report the next station along that
56    traverse.
57
58  + Report file and line location each unconnected survey station.
59
60  + This warning now says either `*entrance` or `*export` depending on which
61    it actually was:
62
63      Station "bar.1" referred to by *entrance or *export but never used
64
65  + Fix several cases of mishandling comments without blanks before them:
66
67    - After an anonymous station.
68
69    - After an ignored reading.  The `ignore` would incorrectly also skip the
70      comment character and any characters which followed up to the next blank
71      or end of line.
72
73    - In a `*alias` command.
74
75    - Diagnostic highlighting could continue into a comment.
76
77  + New `*cartesian` command which supports different orientations of
78    `cartesian` style data.
79
80  + Anonymous stations are now supported in `cartesian` style data.
81
82  + `*fix a reference` (without any coordinates) is now an error.  The
83    `reference` token provides a way to have a list of known fixed points which
84    are not expected to all be currently used, while omitting the coordinates
85    provides a way to specify a point to arbitrarily fix rather than rely on
86    cavern picking one.  Allowing both together doesn't really make sense.
87
88  + Improve check for 180° backclino to suppress the warning about a compass
89    reading on a plumbed leg (introduced in 1.4.8) to allow a small tolerance
90    on the value.  Previously the check wasn't working on x86 Linux for
91    example.
92
93  + When showing a line as the location of a diagnostic we now render any
94    tab character as a single space which means the `^~~~~` highlight length
95    is now correct even when the highlighted part contains tabs.  This only
96    affects use from a terminal as the highlight was already correctly handled
97    when viewing the log in aven.
98
99  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files (thanks to Eric
100    C. Landgraf and Joe for a lot of great feedback from testing with large
101    datasets):
102
103    - The `RECT=` option is now fully supported.
104
105    - Fix `#DATE` with an active `.REF` to act like `DECL=`.  This matches what
106      the documentation says and what Walls seems to actually do.
107
108    - Allow completely omitting the clino on a wall shot (with `ORDER=DAV` or
109      `ORDER=ADV`).
110
111    - Resolve WPJ `.PATH` relative to innermost containing book.
112
113    - Handle an empty Walls station name.  Walls allows a station with an
114      explicit prefix to have an empty name, e.g. `PEP:`.  The Walls
115      documentation doesn't mention this, though it also doesn't explicitly say
116      the name can't be empty.  This quirk seems unlikely to be intentionally
117      used and Survex doesn't allow an empty station name, so we issue a
118      warning and use the name `empty name` (which has a space in, so can't
119      collide with a real Walls station name which can't contain a space) - so
120      `PEP:` in Walls becomes `PEP.empty name` in Survex.
121
122    - Flag stations with explicit Walls prefix as exported.
123
124    - Fix setting empty Walls macro with a comment right after it.
125
126    - Walls quietly ignores junk after the numeric argument in `TYPEAB=`,
127      `TYPEVB=`, `UV=`, `UVH=`, and `UVV=`.  This seems to be an undocumented
128      feature/bug so Survex emits a warning and skips the junk.
129
130    - After an unknown Walls option we now process the rest of the line.
131      Previously we were skipping the rest of the line.
132
133    - We no longer skip the rest of the line after a bad Walls `ORDER=` option.
134
135    - Correct the reported column for some Walls option diagnostics.
136
137    - Support explicit units on Walls clino readings.
138
139    - Allow `#` in Walls station names.  This is explicitly documented as not
140      allowed, but the documentation doesn't match the implementation and `#`
141      is present in some real-world data.
142
143    - Improve handling of Walls `RESTORE` error.  Highlight the position in the
144      line and don't skip the rest of the line.
145
146    - Don't warn about `INCH=` with a zero argument since that's the one case
147      of it we do handle!
148
149    - Fix not to skip the rest of the line after Walls `INCH=` option.
150      We currently don't support `INCH=` so we warn about it, but we were
151      skipping the rest of the line, then trying to read and discard the
152      argument to `INCH=` which gave an error.
153
154    - Relax handling of Walls `CASE=`.  It's not documented, but Walls32.exe
155      quietly treats unknown values as "Mixed".
156
157    - Support DM and DMS format for latitude and longitude in Walls `#FIX`,
158      e.g. `W97:43.875` and `W97:43:52.5` .
159
160    - Treat a zero length leg with finite variance like a Survex `*equate`.
161
162    - Apply Walls variance overrides to survey legs.
163
164    - The optional instrument and target heights are now parsed, but their
165      values are currently ignored.
166
167    - The delimiters around LRUD data are now parsed, but the LRUD data between
168      them is currently ignored.
169
170    - If a `#SEGMENT` value looks like a set of Compass shot flags (i.e. consists
171      only of upper case characters from ``CLPSX``, optionally prefixed with a
172      `/` or `\`) then we interpret them as Compass shot flags (except that `X`
173      is mapped the same way as `L`).  This is apparently a common way to use
174      `#SEGMENT`, and unlikely to be triggered accidentally.
175
176    - Avoid a doubled directory separator when building Walls path names.
177
178* dump3d:
179
180
181* documentation:
182
183  + The manual has been converted from DocBook to reStructured Text.  The
184    plain-text format is much easier for making changes, and for users the
185    output from sphinx looks nicer and has extra features (like built-in
186    "Quick search" in the HTML output).
187
188    The plain text version of the manual is no longer generated.  Sphinx can
189    produce one but the .rst sources actually seem more readable for anyone
190    wanting to read the manual in plain text.
191
192    The extra targets to generate the manual in RTF and PostScript
193    have been dropped as I doubt they are still used (we stopped
194    providing them on the website years ago).  They could probably be
195    reinstated if there's a demand for them.
196
197  + The conversion was partly automated followed by a full pass over the
198    result fixing issues with the automated conversion.  We took the
199    opportunity to also review the content and update or remove out of
200    date and other incorrect information, and to reorder some of the content.
201
202  + Document all the statistics in the `.err` file
203
204  + Document PLT export.
205
206  + Minor improvements to --help output
207
208  + The HTML version of the 1.4.9 manual was missing the Walls chapter
209    and had messed up paging links around it (due to the new CMAP chapter
210    accidentally also being given the filename `walls.htm`).  Reported by Eric
211    C. Landgraf.
212
213  + Document we don't enforce Walls' station or prefix length limits.
214
215  + Document handling of Walls `#NOTE`.
216
217  + Fix documentation of Walls `FLAG=` which is correctly handled, not skipped.
218
219  + Document how to compare Walls and Survex output via Shapefile.
220
221  + Document how to suppress unused fixed point warning in Walls SRV.
222
223* img library:
224
225
226* Build system:
227
228* testsuite:
229
230  + Add testcase for Walls `#units order=da`.
231
232  + Add expected output for more testcases
233
234  + Add testcase for exporting .3d files.
235
236  + Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before comparing to avoid bogus
237    test failures due to excess precision on x86 when using 387 FP
238    instructions.
239
240  + Add test of DXF export with full coordinates.
241
242* translations:
243
244  + Diagnostics can now use positional arguments which sometimes allows a
245    more natural word order in the translation.
246
247Changes in 1.4.9 (2024-07-04):
248
249* aven:
250
251  + Support showing geodata overlays in Aven.  We use the GDAL library to load
252    the data, so this should work for any format which GDAL supports so long as
253    it can be read from the filing system and is geo-referenced vector data -
254    see https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html for a list.  Currently the
255    dialog to select a file defaults to showing GPX, KML, GeoJSON and shape
256    files - set the filter to "All Files" to chose other formats.
257
258  + Reimplement display of cavern output.  The old version turned the log into
259    HTML and displayed it using wxHtmlWindow, but that adds a lot of overhead
260    and is especially inefficient if there are many diagnostics - cavern could
261    finish almost instantly yet aven could take many seconds to process the
262    output.  The new version renders directly from the log data.  It should
263    have most of the features from before - the only missing feature I'm
264    currently aware of is that you can't now select and copy text from the log
265    window, which wxHtmlWindow provided for free.  If people miss this feature,
266    we could add it to the new implementation.
267
268  + (Microsoft Windows version): Clicks in the cavern log window which load
269    files into an editor now protect the filename if it starts with a dash
270    to prevent it being interpreted as a command line option.  We already
271    do this for other platforms, but weren't on Microsoft Windows on the
272    assumption that it isn't needed because the filenames will be fully
273    qualified, but that may not be the case if aven if run by hand from the
274    command line or from some other launcher.
275
276* cavern:
277
278  + Add support for processing Walls format survey data (.SRV and .WPJ files).
279    This support is somewhat experimental but at a point where it seems useful
280    to make it easier for people to try out.  See the manual for a list of
281    known shortcomings.  Thanks to Eric C. Landgraf for a lot of testing and
282    encouragement.
283
284  + Fix bug with Compass DAT diving data.  If a survey uses the depth gauge
285    then since 1.4.6 we set its style to "diving", but we weren't clearing that
286    so all surveys after than in the same DAT file were also set as "diving".
287
288  + When parsing of Compass DAT files we report errors in more cases if the
289    input doesn't conform to the format we expect, rather than potentially
290    quietly misinterpreting the data.
291
292  + *entrance now suppresses "Unused fixed point" warning.  This warning is
293    intended to catch typos, which is much less likely for a station named
294    twice.  It's also reasonable to use only *fix and *entrance on a station at
295    the entrance of an unsurveyed cave.
296
297  + Highlight plumbed clino readings fully in diagnostics.  Now the full reading
298    is highlighted instead of just the first character.
299
300  + Report location of previous fix after "already fixed" error/warning.
301
302  + Use "info" diagnostic category for "Originally entered here" message.  This
303    is more logical as the original *begin isn't something to be warned about,
304    only the reentering is.  This was only a warning before because we didn't
305    used to have "info" diagnostics.
306
307  + Use "info" diagnostic category for message about not reporting further
308    uses of a deprecated feature.  Previously this was a warning, but the newer
309    "info" category is more appropriate here.
310
311  + The message about inventing a fixed point is now an "info" diagnostic which
312    allows us to report a location which is where that station is defined,
313    which may be useful to the user.
314
315  + Make highlighting position in error reporting more robust.  We no longer
316    try to highIight if we calculate a negative column offset, when previously
317    we would print billions of spaces.  As far as I know this has never
318    happened in a released version.
319
320  + Error messages which report the program name now remove any ".exe" suffix.
321    This helps the testsuite by making the expected output the same
322    cross-platform, but also seems slightly nicer for users.
323
324* dump3d:
325
326  + The timestamp reported by DATE_NUMERIC is now printed portably.  Previously
327    we were assuming that a time_t is the same size as a long int, which is not
328    true on all platforms.
329
330* manual:
331
332  + (Microsoft Windows version): Update information about installation
333    with/without admin rights.
334
335  + Summarise support for reading CMAP data and its assumptions and
336    limitations.
337
338  + Mention Compass, Walls and CMAP support in the importing data howto
339    section.
340
341  + Drop mention of Rosetta Stal from the manual.  The referred to link from
342    our website was removed in 2015 because Rosetta Stal hadn't been updated
343    for 13.5 years at that point.  Now the domain it was available from has
344    lapsed and is a domain squatter "for sale" page.
345
346* img library:
347
348  + The coordinates in CMAP data are in feet but we were dividing rather
349    than multiplying by the conversion factor to get metres so all
350    coordinates were about 10.76 times too large.
351
352  + Stations in CMAP "station" variant XYZ files are now flagged as
353    underground (as they always have been for "shot" variant XYZ files).
354
355  + When reading CMAP XYZ files, we no longer emit duplicate img_LABEL for
356    stations in loops.
357
358  + A CMAP XYZ file without a survey title is now handled correctly (this was
359    reporting a bogus "Out of memory" error).
360
361  + The img.h header now defines constants IMG_VERSION_SURVEX_POS, etc for the
362    values reported in the version field for non-.3d formats.
363
364  + (Microsoft Windows version): Workaround limitation of Microsoft's C
365    library so we handle dates before 1970 in Compass PLT files, CMAP XYZ
366    files, and older format .3d files.  Previously these were reported
367    as "unknown date".
368
369* We now support overriding the location of support files by setting the
370  SURVEXLIB environment variable.  We no longer look at the srcdir
371  environment variable for this.
372
373* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created automatically
374  on Github actions, which has required a few changes.  It now packages a
375  64-bit build, and is created with Innosetup 6.3.2 which no longer supports
376  Vista.  The installer is also now significantly larger, which is mostly
377  because we now need to include a large number of DLLs, most of which are
378  dependencies of the mingw64 FFmpeg and GDAL packages.
379
380* (Microsoft Windows version): If the directory where we expect the PROJ
381  support files to be does not exist for some reason we now avoid triggering
382  a segmentation fault in PROJ.
383
384* Build system:
385
386  + The GDAL library is now required to build Survex.
387
388  + (Microsoft Windows version): The probe for GL and GLU libraries now also
389    checks for Microsoft's non-standard library names.
390
391  + Correct configure --help output for --enable-werror for which the default
392    is actually "no" rather than "maintainer-mode".
393
394* testsuite:
395
396  + aven.tst: Skip a testcase when running on mingw as it seems to hang there.
397    We already skip this testcase on macos for what appears to be the same
398    problem.
399
400  + Fix comparison of output to work on platforms using DOS line endings.
401
402Changes in 1.4.8 (2024-04-23):
403
404* cavern:
405
406  + The warning for a compass reading on a plumbed leg was already suppressed
407    for a compass or backcompass reading of 0, but is now also suppressed for a
408    backcompass of 180° (or equivalent) which seems to be common in some Compass
409    datasets, but also seems sensible generally.  Thanks to Simeon Warner for
410    sharing some data which triggered such warnings.
411
412  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name is now also
413    emitted in the case where a name was used first for a station, and then as
414    a survey on an explicitly prefixed name.  Closes
415    https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4, reported by Thomas Holder.
416
417  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name now highlights
418    the problematic name within the line shown for context.
419
420  + Fix the reported token string reported by some errors with readings.  This
421    happened to work on at least x86-64 Linux, but the code was invalid and
422    failed on some architectures.
423
424* Fix to build with newer FFmpeg versions.
425
426* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now offers the choice to install
427  for just the current user, which allows installing Survex without admin
428  rights.
429
430* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix problems with valid coordinate systems being
431  rejected and aven's cavern log window not showing output.  Reported by
432  Peter Mašič, Špela Borko, Răzvan Dumbravă and detrito.  Thanks especially to
433  Špela Borko for a lot of testing to help track down the cause.
434
435Changes in 1.4.7 (2024-04-07):
436
437* cavern:
438
439  + When using *declination auto we report the range of calculated declinations
440    for each location specified.  After doing this we now reset the range
441    information we're tracking.  Previously we'd misreport the range for
442    the second and subsequent locations.
443
444  + Avoid undefined behaviour on handling filename fallback for filenames
445    containing non-ASCII characters.
446
447  + Show context line with relevant item highlighted for more errors and
448    warnings.
449
450  + The dynamic string handling routines are now more efficient.
451
452  + Fix memory leak if a Compass MAK file opens folders it doesn't close.
453
454  + Fix handling of clino-less legs in Compass DAT.  These would cause cavern
455    to fail with a lot of "NaN" messages.  Now they're treated as having a zero
456    clino with a standard deviation based on the leg length, just like in .svx
457    files.
458
459* img library:
460
461  + Compass PLT: Treat LRUD readings > 900 as omitted readings, which matches
462    what Compass does.  Thanks to Larry Fish for clarifying this.
463
464  + Avoid undefined behaviour after realloc().  We were adjusting a pointer
465    within the reallocated block by subtracting the old block address and
466    adding on the new one.  Technically this is undefined behaviour, although
467    in practice it seems likely it'll work and we've not seen misbehaviour due
468    to it.  However it's easy to avoid by calculating the offset before the
469    realloc().
470
471* Portability:
472
473  + Provide prototype for getopt() to avoid warnings with very recent compiler
474    versions.
475
476  + Avoid using sprintf(), which now triggers warnings on some platforms.
477
478* Build system:
479
480  + Add configure --enable-werror option to turn compiler warnings into errors.
481
482* Manual:
483
484  + Expand details of Compass MAK CRS support.
485
486  + Replace very out of date information about binary RPM packages.
487
488* Minor translation updates.
489
490* (Microsoft Windows version): Now uses PROJ 9.3.0 and ships all of the
491  ancillary files that PROJ comes with.  Hoping this fixes use of coordinate
492  system EPSG:3912 failing, which was reported by Peter Mašič but I've not
493  managed to reproduce.
494
495Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-03-07):
496
497* cavern:
498
499  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
500    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
501    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
502    mailing list.
503
504  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
505    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
506    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
507    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
508
509  + When opening a file, cavern has fallback handling if the file isn't found
510    to help people processing datasets from platforms with case-insensitive
511    file systems.  Previously cavern would fold the filename to lowercase and
512    retry.  Now if this fails, it will also try the lower case version but
513    with the initial character of the leaf in upper case, and finally folding
514    the whole specified filename to upper case.
515
516  + Dynamically pick a suitable level separator character and store it in .3d
517    file, instead of it being hard-coded to '.' (we still use '.' unless it
518    has been *set as a "name" character, or for Compass DAT/MAK files unless it
519    has been used in a station name).  This is a step towards addressing the
520    situations raised by Thomas Holder in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4
521    and https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/5 .
522
523  + Compass DAT files:
524
525    - The shot flag S is now understood to indicate a splay.
526
527    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
528      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
529      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
530      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
531      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
532      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
533
534    - Surveys which indicate a depth gauge was used for azimuth readings are
535      now marked as STYLE_DIVING in the 3d file.
536
537    - Compass and clino corrections are now implemented for backsights.
538
539    - The tape correction in Compass DAT files is now handled correctly.  The
540      specified value is in feet, but cavern was incorrectly treating it as
541      being in metres.
542
543    - We now handle the newer 15 character "FORMAT:" encoding.  Previously
544      cavern wouldn't detect when there were backsights in this case.
545
546    - We now treat survey date January 1st 1901 as "no date specified" since
547      this is the date Compass stores in this situation, and it seems very
548      unlikely to occur in real data.
549
550    - In Compass DAT files a dummy zero-length leg from a station to itself is
551      used to provide a place to specify LRUD for the start or end of a
552      traverse (depending if dimensions are measured at the from or to
553      station), and so we no longer issue a warning about equating a station to
554      itself for DAT files.
555
556  + Compass MAK files:
557
558    - The base location command is now understood.  This is how Compass
559      specifies a location to calculate magnetic declination at, and we
560      now handle this like Survex's native "*declination auto X Y Z".
561
562    - Survex uses the specified UTM zone and datum provided the combination can
563      be expressed as an EPSG code (lack of any EPSG codes for a datum suggests
564      it's obsolete; lack of a code for a particular datum+zone combination
565      suggests the zone is outside of the defined area of use of the datum).
566      Example Compass files we've seen use "North American 1927" outside of
567      where it's defined for use, presumably because some users fail to change
568      the datum from Compass' default.  To enable reading such files we return
569      a PROJ4 string of the form "+proj=utm ..." for "North American 1927" and
570      "North American 1983" for UTM zones which don't have an EPSG code.
571      Please let us know if support for additional cases which aren't currently
572      supported would be useful to you.
573
574    - Folder commands are now understood.
575
576    - Flag fixed stations as entrances.  Experimentation with Compass shows
577      this is how it treats them ("distance from entrance" in a .DAT file
578      counts from 0 at these points).
579
580  + We now support reading Compass CLP files.  These are very like DAT files,
581    except they contain loop-closed data.  You might find this useful if you
582    want to keep existing stations at the same adjusted positions Compass gave
583    (for example to be able to draw extensions on an existing drawn-up survey),
584    or if the original DAT file has been lost but you still have the CLP file.
585
586* aven:
587
588  + Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
589    Philip Balister.
590
591  + Split the filters for DAT and MAK files in the File->Open drop down list.
592    It seems more likely you'd want to see one type or the other, not both
593    together.
594
595* aven/survexport:
596
597  + Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
598
599  + .json,.kml: Enable export of surface legs.  Currently surface and
600    underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats when both
601    are enabled.
602
603  + .3d: The coordinate system is now set.
604
605  + .svg: Equated stations now get their correct names in the id attribute
606    of <circle> tags.  Previously one of the names would be repeated for
607    all of a set of equated stations.
608
609  + .plt:
610
611    - Anonymous stations previously resulted in an empty name in the PLT
612      file.  This isn't explicitly disallowed by the PLT format description,
613      but Compass' viewer gives an error for such lines.  Now we invent names
614      by encoding the station coordinates which should be unique.
615
616    - The S shot flag is now set for splays, and the P shot flag (hide from
617      plotting) is set for surface legs (which matches the use suggested in the
618      Compass docs).
619
620* img library:
621
622  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
623    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
624    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
625    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
626    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
627    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
628    default).
629
630  + Improve Compass PLT support (many of these are Compass features added
631    since Survex's support for Compass was originally added):
632
633    - Survey dates are now handled fully.  We treat survey date January 1st
634      1901 as "no date specified" since this is the date Compass stores in this
635      situation, and it seems very unlikely to occur in real data.
636
637    - LRUD data is now translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END.
638
639    - We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE for stations where the "Distance From
640      Entrance" field is present and zero.
641
642    - The shot flag L is now translated to img_FLAG_DUPLICATE.
643
644    - The shot flag S is now translated to img_FLAG_SPLAY.  A station at the
645      far end of a shot flagged S gets img_SFLAG_WALL set since the Compass PLT
646      format specification says:
647
648          The shot is a "splay" shot, which is a shot from a station to the
649          wall to define the passage shape.
650
651    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
652      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
653      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
654      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
655      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
656      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
657
658    - The d plot command is now supported (previously img failed to parse
659      PLT files using this command) - it's like D but implies the P shot flag.
660
661    - If a PLT file only uses one datum and it is "WGS 1984" then the UTM zone
662      is converted to the appropriate EPSG code and this is reported as the
663      coordinate system.  Other datums could be handled, but the mapping to
664      EPSG code is less simple.  Also it seems Compass supports at least
665      24 datums but it doesn't document all the strings it uses for them.
666      Files with multiple datums could be handled too, but we'd need to convert
667      coordinates to a common coordinate system in the img library, which would
668      need it to depend on PROJ.  Please let us know if support for more and/or
669      mixed datums would be useful to you.
670
671    - Duplicate img_LABEL items are no longer returned - this used to happen
672      for stations where more than two shots met within a single survey.
673
674    - We now infer img_SFLAG_EXPORTED for any station that appears in more
675      than one survey in the PLT file.
676
677    - We now set flag img_SFLAG_FIXED for any station which is listed as
678      a fixed point in the PLT file.
679
680    - If there's only one non-empty section name in a PLT file and we aren't
681      filtering by survey, we now report that section name as the title.  If
682      there are multiple different non-empty section names, we still report the
683      basename of the file as before.  If we're filtering by survey, we report
684      the comment for that survey as before.
685
686    - Fix bug handling PLT with omitted LRUD.  The format specification
687      documents that LRUD may be omitted, though it seems Compass never
688      actually omits it and at least some versions of Compass failed to handle
689      it being omitted too.
690
691* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
692
693* manual:
694
695  + Document Compass support in detail.
696
697  + Improve NATO mils example.
698
699* INSTALL:
700
701  + Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by Andrew
702    Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
703
704  + Document the requirement for a C99 compiler for building from source.
705    We made this a requirement in 1.4.2, but only noted it in NEWS.
706
707* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
708
709* Replace references to "libav" with "FFmpeg" since the libav project seems to
710  now be defunct, and we've always supported using either.
711
712* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros and drop
713  probes for features that we can safely assume now we require a C99 compiler
714  and workarounds for obsolete platforms.
715
716* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
717
718Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
719
720* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
721
722* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
723  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
724
725* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
726
727* Minor translation updates.
728
729Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
730
731* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
732  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
733
734* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
735  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
736  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
737  checks that were rejecting this.
738
739  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
740  really do that's better than that.
741
742  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
743
744* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
745  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
746  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
747  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
748  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
749
750* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
751  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
752
753* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
754  bearing spin control.
755
756* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
757  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
758  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
759  currently but please report issues.
760
761* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
762  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
763  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
764  position".
765
766* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
767  Reported by echarlie
768
769* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
770
771Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
772
773* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
774
775* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
776  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
777
778* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
779  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
780
781* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
782  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
783
784* Minor translation updates.
785
786* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
787  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
788  works on Wayland).
789
790* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
791  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
792
793* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
794
795* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
796  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
797  Requested by Martin Budaj.
798
799Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
800
801* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
802
803* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
804
805* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
806  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
807
808* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
809  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
810  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
811  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
812
813* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
814  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
815  Patch from Thomas Holder.
816
817* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
818  string properly.
819
820* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
821  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
822  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
823  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
824  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
825  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
826  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
827
828* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
829  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
830
831  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
832
833* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
834  where the included filename is actually specified.
835
836* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
837  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
838
839* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
840  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
841  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
842
843* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
844  running on the Continuous Integration system.
845
846* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
847  newer version of Innosetup.  This means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the
848  minimum supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support
849  anyway.
850
851* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
852  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
853
854* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
855
856* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
857  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
858  inconvenience anyone.
859
860Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
861
862* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
863
864* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
865  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
866  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
867  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
868
869* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
870  in 1.4.0.
871
872* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
873
874Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
875
876* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
877  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
878  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
879  Couwenberg.
880
881  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
882  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
883  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
884  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
885
886  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
887  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
888
889* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
890  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
891  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
892
893* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
894  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
895  strings is strongly discouraged.
896
897  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
898
899  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
900
901  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
902  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
903
904* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
905  Green.
906
907* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
908  echarlie.
909
910* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
911  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
912  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
913
914* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
915
916* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
917
918* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
919
920* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
921
922* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
923  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
924  stations not attached to a fixed point.
925
926Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
927
928* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
929  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
930  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
931  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
932  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
933
934* aven:
935
936  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
937    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
938    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
939    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
940    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
941    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
942
943* testsuite:
944
945  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
946    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
947    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
948    process exits.
949
950* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
951
952Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
953
954* aven:
955
956  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
957
958* cavern:
959
960  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
961
962  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
963    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
964    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
965
966  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
967    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
968    until the next *data command with parameters.
969
970  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
971    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
972
973  * Improve test coverage.
974
975* survexport:
976
977  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
978    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
979
980  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
981    Batista.
982
983* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
984  Holder.
985
986* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
987  from Thomas Holder.
988
989* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
990  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
991
992* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
993
994* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
995
996* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
997
998* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
999
1000* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
1001
1002Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
1003
1004* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
1005  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
1006  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
1007
1008* aven:
1009
1010  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
1011    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
1012    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
1013
1014  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
1015    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
1016    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
1017    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
1018
1019  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
1020    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
1021    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
1022
1023  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
1024
1025Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
1026
1027* aven:
1028
1029  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
1030
1031  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
1032    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
1033    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
1034
1035  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
1036    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
1037    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
1038    orientation.
1039
1040* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
1041  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
1042  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
1043  Richard Knapp.
1044
1045* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
1046  might still need to use them for.
1047
1048* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
1049
1050* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
1051
1052* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
1053  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
1054  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
1055  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
1056
1057* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
1058  is now the recommended approach.
1059
1060Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
1061
1062* aven:
1063
1064  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1065    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
1066    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
1067    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
1068    Brian Clipstone.
1069
1070  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
1071    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
1072
1073Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
1074
1075* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
1076  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
1077  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
1078
1079* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
1080  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
1081  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
1082  with some compilers.
1083
1084* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
1085  installed.
1086
1087Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
1088
1089* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
1090  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
1091  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
1092
1093* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
1094  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
1095  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
1096
1097* aven:
1098
1099  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
1100    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
1101    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
1102    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
1103    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
1104    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
1105    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
1106    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
1107    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
1108    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
1109    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
1110
1111  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
1112
1113* Documentation:
1114
1115  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
1116
1117  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
1118    placeholder.
1119
1120  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
1121    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
1122
1123* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
1124  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
1125  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
1126
1127* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
1128  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
1129  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
1130  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
1131  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
1132  location to avoid confusion.
1133
1134* Add a few more message translations.
1135
1136* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
1137
1138Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
1139
1140* cavern:
1141
1142  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
1143    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
1144    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
1145    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
1146    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
1147
1148  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
1149    now reports "file not found" instead.
1150
1151  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
1152    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
1153    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
1154
1155* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
1156
1157* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
1158  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
1159  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
1160  removed.
1161
1162* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
1163  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
1164  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
1165  information.  Patch from James Begley.
1166
1167Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
1168
1169* aven:
1170
1171  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
1172    controllable.
1173
1174  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1175
1176  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
1177    Patch from Robert Jones.
1178
1179  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
1180    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
1181    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
1182
1183  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
1184    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
1185
1186* cavern:
1187
1188  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
1189    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
1190
1191  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
1192    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
1193    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
1194    go unnoticed.
1195
1196* survexport:
1197
1198  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
1199    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
1200    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
1201
1202  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
1203    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
1204    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
1205    Stephen Crabtree.
1206
1207* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1208
1209* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
1210  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
1211
1212* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
1213  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
1214  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
1215  therion's team command.
1216
1217Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
1218
1219* aven:
1220
1221  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
1222
1223  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
1224    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
1225    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
1226    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
1227    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
1228    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
1229    for new entrances.
1230
1231  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
1232    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
1233    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
1234    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
1235
1236  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
1237
1238  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
1239    to show via the right-click menu.
1240
1241  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
1242    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
1243    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
1244    child surveys of the parent.
1245
1246  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
1247    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
1248    survey.
1249
1250  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
1251    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
1252
1253  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
1254
1255  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
1256    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
1257
1258  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
1259    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
1260    filtering this matters more).
1261
1262* survexport:
1263
1264  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
1265    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
1266
1267  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
1268
1269* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
1270
1271* Minor translation updates.
1272
1273* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
1274
1275* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
1276
1277* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
1278
1279Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
1280
1281* aven:
1282
1283  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
1284    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
1285    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
1286    on screen, printed and exported.
1287
1288  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
1289    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
1290    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
1291    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
1292    survey.
1293
1294  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
1295    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
1296    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
1297    view.  Reported by Wookey.
1298
1299  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
1300    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
1301    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
1302
1303  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
1304    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
1305
1306  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
1307    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
1308
1309  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
1310    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
1311
1312  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
1313    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
1314
1315  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
1316    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
1317
1318* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
1319  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
1320  tools could do, plus much more.
1321
1322* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
1323
1324* Minor updates to various other translations.
1325
1326* img library:
1327
1328  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
1329
1330  + Improve API documentation.
1331
1332* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
1333  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
1334  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
1335
1336* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
1337  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
1338  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
1339  control what gets exported.
1340
1341Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
1342
1343* aven:
1344
1345  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1346    of 1.2.33.
1347
1348  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
1349
1350Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
1351
1352* aven:
1353
1354  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
1355    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
1356    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
1357    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
1358
1359  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
1360    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
1361    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
1362    Erin Lynch.
1363
1364  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
1365    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
1366    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
1367
1368  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
1369    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
1370    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
1371    unnecessarily.
1372
1373  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
1374    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
1375    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
1376    for this control).
1377
1378  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
1379    under GTK3.
1380
1381  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
1382    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
1383    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
1384
1385  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
1386    current development version).
1387
1388  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
1389    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
1390    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
1391
1392* cavern:
1393
1394  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
1395    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
1396    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
1397    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
1398    "19".
1399
1400* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
1401  Evaristo Quiroga.
1402
1403* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1404
1405* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
1406  milosch.
1407
1408* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
1409  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
1410  translated messages.
1411
1412* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
1413  Indonesian and Polish.
1414
1415* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
1416  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
1417  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1418
1419* Fix a few compiler warnings.
1420
1421* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
1422  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
1423  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
1424
1425* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
1426
1427  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
1428    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
1429    but happens to fail if it isn't.
1430
1431  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
1432
1433  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
1434
1435  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
1436
1437* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
1438  detected at run time on macOS.
1439
1440* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
1441  by the homebrew formula.
1442
1443* buildmacosx.sh:
1444
1445  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
1446    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
1447
1448  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
1449
1450* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
1451  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
1452
1453Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
1454
1455* aven:
1456
1457  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
1458    and Anthony Day.
1459
1460  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
1461    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
1462    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1463    Erin Lynch in #89.
1464
1465  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
1466    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
1467    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
1468    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
1469    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
1470    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
1471    elevations.
1472
1473  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
1474    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
1475    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
1476
1477  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
1478    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
1479    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
1480    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
1481    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
1482    "on".
1483
1484  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
1485    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
1486
1487  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
1488    the display wouldn't update right away.
1489
1490* Manual:
1491
1492  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
1493
1494  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
1495
1496* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
1497  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
1498  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
1499  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
1500  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
1501
1502Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
1503
1504* aven:
1505
1506  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
1507    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
1508    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
1509
1510  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
1511    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
1512    before by others.
1513
1514  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
1515
1516  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
1517    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
1518    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
1519    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
1520    original change.
1521
1522  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
1523    which extends beyond the end of the line).
1524
1525  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
1526    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
1527
1528  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
1529
1530  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
1531
1532  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
1533    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
1534    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
1535    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
1536    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
1537    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
1538    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
1539
1540  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
1541    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
1542
1543  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
1544    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
1545    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
1546
1547  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
1548    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
1549    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
1550    much vertical range.
1551
1552  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
1553    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
1554    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
1555    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
1556    are drawn in this way.
1557
1558  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
1559    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
1560    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
1561    centre should be a single pixel.
1562
1563* cavern:
1564
1565  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
1566    entering passage data where there are side passages.
1567
1568  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
1569    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
1570
1571  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
1572    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
1573    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
1574    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
1575
1576  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
1577    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
1578    Reported by Erin Lynch.
1579
1580  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
1581    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
1582    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
1583    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
1584
1585  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
1586    other messages.
1587
1588* extend:
1589
1590  + Now runs a bit faster.
1591
1592  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
1593    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
1594    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
1595    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
1596    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
1597    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
1598    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
1599    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
1600    be handled better) most welcome.
1601
1602* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
1603
1604* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
1605
1606* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
1607  translations from therion.
1608
1609* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
1610  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
1611
1612* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
1613  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
1614  Footleg.
1615
1616* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
1617
1618* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
1619
1620Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
1621
1622* aven:
1623
1624  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
1625    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1626
1627  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
1628    Suggested by detrito.
1629
1630  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
1631    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
1632
1633  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
1634    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
1635
1636* Add man page for dump3d.
1637
1638Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
1639
1640* aven:
1641
1642  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
1643    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
1644
1645  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
1646    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1647
1648* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
1649  Lynch and "detrito".
1650
1651* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
1652  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
1653
1654Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
1655
1656* cavern:
1657
1658  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
1659    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
1660    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
1661    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
1662    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
1663
1664  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
1665
1666  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
1667
1668  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
1669    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
1670    degrees).
1671
1672* aven:
1673
1674  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
1675    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
1676    Day.
1677
1678  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
1679    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1680
1681  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
1682    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
1683
1684  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
1685    of the line in cavern log window.
1686
1687  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1688
1689  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1690
1691  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
1692    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
1693    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
1694    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
1695    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
1696
1697  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
1698    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
1699    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
1700
1701  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
1702
1703  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
1704
1705  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
1706    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
1707    Atkinson and myself.
1708
1709  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
1710
1711  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
1712    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
1713    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
1714    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
1715    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
1716    survey.
1717
1718  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
1719    lines on my netbook.
1720
1721  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
1722    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
1723    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
1724
1725  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
1726    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
1727    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
1728    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
1729    glitches.
1730
1731  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
1732    we currently list, though slower to write.
1733
1734  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
1735    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
1736
1737  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
1738    warnings when building against a recent version.
1739
1740  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
1741    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
1742    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
1743    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
1744
1745  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
1746    movie export.
1747
1748  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
1749    export.
1750
1751* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1752  James Begley.
1753
1754* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
1755  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
1756
1757* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
1758
1759* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
1760  messages get used automatically.
1761
1762* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
1763  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
1764
1765* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
1766
1767* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
1768
1769* Use https for more URLs which support it.
1770
1771Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
1772
1773* aven:
1774
1775  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
1776    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
1777    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
1778    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
1779    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
1780    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
1781    probably change in the future).
1782
1783  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
1784    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
1785    the survey tree root.
1786
1787  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
1788    the view was recentred).
1789
1790  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
1791    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
1792    wrong direction).
1793
1794  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
1795    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
1796    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
1797
1798  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
1799    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
1800    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
1801    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
1802
1803  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
1804    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
1805
1806  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
1807    addresses #60.
1808
1809  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
1810
1811  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
1812    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
1813    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
1814
1815  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
1816
1817  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
1818    360 or down past 0.
1819
1820  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
1821    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
1822    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
1823    real-valued ones.
1824
1825  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
1826    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
1827
1828  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
1829    Lynch.
1830
1831  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
1832
1833  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
1834    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
1835
1836  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
1837    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
1838    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
1839
1840  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
1841    should now work.
1842
1843* cavern:
1844
1845  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
1846
1847  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
1848    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
1849    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
1850
1851  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
1852    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
1853    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
1854
1855  + Fix check for end of version number array in *require.  We would check up
1856    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
1857    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
1858    issue.
1859
1860  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
1861    by patch from Colin Watson.
1862
1863  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
1864
1865* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1866
1867* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
1868  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
1869
1870* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
1871  used in the same dataset.
1872
1873* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
1874  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
1875
1876* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
1877  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
1878  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
1879
1880* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
1881
1882Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
1883
1884* aven:
1885
1886  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
1887    cavern again.
1888
1889* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
1890  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
1891  location and use the same start menu folder.
1892
1893* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
1894  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
1895
1896* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
1897  by James Begley.
1898
1899Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
1900
1901* aven:
1902
1903  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
1904    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
1905    to address.
1906
1907  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
1908    over the survey tree.
1909
1910  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
1911
1912  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
1913    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
1914
1915  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
1916    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
1917    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
1918    encoded.
1919
1920  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
1921    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
1922    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
1923    terminals which do still support this.
1924
1925  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
1926    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
1927
1928* cavern:
1929
1930  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
1931    Edwards (see #78).
1932
1933  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
1934    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
1935    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
1936    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
1937
1938  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
1939    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
1940    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
1941
1942  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
1943    from Pete Smart (see #69).
1944
1945* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
1946  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
1947  Black.
1948
1949* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
1950
1951* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
1952  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
1953  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
1954  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
1955  Black.
1956
1957* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
1958  Black.
1959
1960* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
1961
1962* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
1963
1964* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
1965
1966* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
1967
1968* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
1969
1970* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
1971  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
1972
1973* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
1974  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
1975  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
1976
1977* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
1978  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
1979  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
1980  privileges or not.
1981
1982Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
1983
1984* aven:
1985
1986  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
1987    Clipstone.
1988
1989  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
1990    Reported by Jenny Black.
1991
1992  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
1993    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
1994    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
1995
1996  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
1997    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
1998    messages.
1999
2000  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
2001    the terminal in 1.2.23.
2002
2003* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
2004  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
2005
2006* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
2007
2008* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
2009  by Wookey.
2010
2011Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
2012
2013* aven:
2014
2015  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
2016    machines.
2017
2018  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
2019
2020  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
2021    already being processed.
2022
2023  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
2024    Reported by Martin Green.
2025
2026  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
2027
2028* cavern:
2029
2030  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
2031    find the original survey notes).
2032
2033  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
2034    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
2035    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
2036    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
2037    progress display to be useful.
2038
2039* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
2040
2041* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
2042  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
2043
2044* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
2045  running cavern.
2046
2047* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
2048  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
2049  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
2050
2051Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
2052
2053* aven:
2054
2055  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
2056    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
2057    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
2058    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
2059    finding this fix.
2060
2061* cavern:
2062
2063  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
2064
2065  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
2066    station.
2067
2068  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
2069    *export.
2070
2071Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
2072
2073* aven:
2074
2075  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
2076    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
2077    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
2078
2079  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
2080
2081  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
2082    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
2083    does.
2084
2085  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
2086    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
2087
2088  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
2089    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
2090
2091  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
2092    as appropriate.
2093
2094  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
2095    values on Windows.
2096
2097* cavern:
2098
2099  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
2100    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
2101    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
2102
2103  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
2104    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
2105
2106  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
2107    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
2108    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
2109    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
2110
2111  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
2112    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
2113    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
2114    Atkinson.
2115
2116  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
2117    actual error rather than on a separate line.
2118
2119  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
2120    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
2121    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
2122    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
2123
2124  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
2125    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
2126    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
2127
2128* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
2129  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
2130  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
2131  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
2132
2133* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
2134
2135* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
2136  "*DECLINATION" command.
2137
2138* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
2139  Reported by Jenny Black.
2140
2141* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
2142  documentation.
2143
2144* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
2145  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
2146
2147* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
2148
2149* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
2150
2151Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
2152
2153* aven:
2154
2155  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
2156    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
2157    the same or very similar by default.
2158
2159  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
2160    Maynard.
2161
2162  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
2163
2164  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
2165
2166  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
2167    away.
2168
2169  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
2170
2171  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
2172    display it.
2173
2174* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
2175  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
2176  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
2177  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
2178
2179* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
2180
2181* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
2182  before 1.2.19.
2183
2184* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
2185  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
2186
2187* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
2188
2189* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
2190  disk image.
2191
2192* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
2193
2194* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
2195  libav features we don't use.
2196
2197* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
2198  a load of libav features we don't use.
2199
2200* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
2201  message in the installer.
2202
2203Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
2204
2205* aven:
2206
2207  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
2208    the exported file in 1.2.18.
2209
2210  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
2211
2212  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
2213    exit full screen mode.
2214
2215  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
2216    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
2217    using since 1.2.7).
2218
2219  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
2220    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
2221    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
2222    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
2223    St. Lawrence.
2224
2225  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
2226    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
2227
2228  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
2229    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
2230    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
2231
2232  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
2233    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
2234    case like we do on other platforms.
2235
2236  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
2237
2238  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
2239    support multi-monitor setups.
2240
2241  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
2242    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
2243
2244  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
2245    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
2246
2247  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
2248    cases.
2249
2250  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
2251    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
2252    Erin Lynch)
2253
2254  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
2255    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
2256    items in in so it uses the full width.
2257
2258  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
2259    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
2260    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
2261    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
2262    window.
2263
2264  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
2265    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
2266    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
2267    only relevant on the first ever run.
2268
2269* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
2270
2271* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
2272  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
2273  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
2274  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
2275  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
2276  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
2277
2278* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
2279  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
2280
2281Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
2282
2283* aven:
2284
2285  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
2286    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
2287    rendering it as a transparent surface.
2288
2289  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
2290    sanely want to perform from the menu.
2291
2292  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
2293    colouring options.
2294
2295  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
2296
2297  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
2298    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
2299    pressing "Escape".
2300
2301  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
2302    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
2303
2304  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
2305    exporting.
2306
2307  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
2308
2309  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
2310    is quite likely to change.
2311
2312  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
2313    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
2314
2315  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
2316    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
2317    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
2318
2319  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
2320
2321  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
2322    markers in orange.
2323
2324  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
2325    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
2326
2327  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
2328    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
2329    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
2330    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
2331    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
2332    them would be better.
2333
2334  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
2335    Gee.
2336
2337  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
2338    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
2339    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
2340
2341  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
2342
2343* cavern:
2344
2345  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
2346    susscorfa).
2347
2348  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
2349    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
2350
2351  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
2352
2353  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
2354    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
2355
2356  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
2357    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
2358
2359* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
2360
2361* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
2362  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
2363  in a modern desktop.
2364
2365* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
2366  the filename in the error message.
2367
2368* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
2369  most complete translations.
2370
2371* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
2372
2373* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
2374  lacks them.
2375
2376* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
2377
2378* Manual:
2379
2380  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
2381    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
2382
2383  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
2384
2385  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
2386
2387  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
2388    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
2389    available for download.
2390
2391* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
2392  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
2393  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
2394
2395* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2396
2397* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
2398
2399Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
2400
2401* MacOS X version:
2402
2403  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
2404
2405  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
2406
2407  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
2408
2409  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
2410
2411  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
2412    currently do this for us.
2413
2414  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
2415
2416  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
2417
2418  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
2419
2420  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
2421    OS X cursor.
2422
2423  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
2424    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
2425    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
2426    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
2427    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
2428    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
2429    with TextEdit.app for example).
2430
2431  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
2432    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
2433
2434  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
2435
2436  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
2437    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
2438
2439  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
2440    Riggs.
2441
2442  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
2443    space.
2444
2445  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
2446
2447  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
2448    10.10.1.
2449
2450  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
2451    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
2452    errors.
2453
2454  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
2455    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
2456    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
2457    wxWidgets build supports by default.
2458
2459  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
2460
2461* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
2462  treat as a single leg.
2463
2464* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
2465
2466* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
2467
2468* aven:
2469
2470  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
2471    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
2472
2473  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
2474    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
2475    1:500).
2476
2477  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
2478    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
2479    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
2480    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
2481
2482  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
2483    there rather than the two animations fighting.
2484
2485  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
2486    fast.
2487
2488  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
2489    when rotating).
2490
2491  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
2492    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
2493
2494* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
2495  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
2496
2497* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
2498
2499* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
2500
2501* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
2502
2503* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
2504
2505* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
2506  we're using git.
2507
2508* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
2509
2510  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
2511    compass.
2512
2513  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
2514
2515  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
2516
2517Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
2518
2519* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
2520
2521* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
2522
2523* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
2524
2525* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
2526  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
2527
2528* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
2529
2530* tests/: Improve test coverage.
2531
2532* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
2533  Greek and Polish.
2534
2535* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
2536  by Martin Sluka.
2537
2538* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
2539  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
2540
2541Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
2542
2543* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
2544  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
2545  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
2546  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
2547  for *cs has also been improved.
2548
2549* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
2550  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
2551  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
2552  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
2553
2554* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
2555  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
2556  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
2557  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
2558  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
2559
2560* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
2561  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
2562  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
2563
2564* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
2565
2566* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
2567
2568* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
2569  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
2570  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
2571
2572* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
2573  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
2574
2575Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
2576
2577* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
2578  system in use in 3d v8 files.
2579
2580* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
2581  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
2582  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
2583  export dialog.
2584
2585* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
2586  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
2587  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
2588  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
2589  rather than having one corner there.
2590
2591* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
2592  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
2593
2594* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
2595  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
2596
2597* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
2598  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
2599  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
2600
2601* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
2602  such as 64-bit Linux.
2603
2604* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
2605  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
2606
2607* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
2608  64-bit platforms.
2609
2610* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
2611  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
2612  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
2613
2614* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
2615  the space available in the aven UI.
2616
2617* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
2618  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
2619  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
2620
2621* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
2622  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
2623
2624* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
2625  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
2626  about unconnected surveys.
2627
2628* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
2629  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
2630
2631* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
2632  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
2633  freed memory.
2634
2635* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
2636
2637* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
2638
2639* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
2640
2641* Fix a compiler warning.
2642
2643* Improve test coverage.
2644
2645Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
2646
2647* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
2648  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
2649  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
2650
2651* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
2652  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
2653  Hugh St Lawrence.
2654
2655* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
2656  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
2657  with using aven on a touch screen device.
2658
2659* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
2660  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
2661
2662* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
2663  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
2664
2665* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
2666  off and back on.
2667
2668* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
2669  up time a little.
2670
2671* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
2672  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
2673
2674* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
2675  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
2676  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
2677  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
2678  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
2679  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
2680  situation too.
2681
2682* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
2683  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
2684  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
2685
2686* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
2687
2688* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
2689
2690* Minor translation updates to French.
2691
2692* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
2693
2694* Testsuite improvements:
2695
2696  + Test that "..." anon station works.
2697
2698  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
2699    fail and give an error count.
2700
2701  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
2702
2703Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
2704
2705* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
2706  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
2707  Clipstone.
2708
2709* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
2710
2711* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
2712
2713  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
2714    overlap the scale bar ticks.
2715
2716  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
2717    clipping the border in print preview.
2718
2719  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
2720
2721* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
2722  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
2723
2724* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
2725  available.
2726
2727* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
2728
2729* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
2730
2731* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
2732  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
2733
2734* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
2735  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
2736
2737* Various translation updates.
2738
2739Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
2740
2741* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
2742  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
2743
2744* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
2745  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
2746  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
2747  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
2748
2749* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
2750  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
2751
2752* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
2753  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
2754
2755* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
2756  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
2757
2758* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
2759  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2760
2761* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
2762  box".
2763
2764* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
2765
2766* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
2767  indicators.
2768
2769* aven: All length units are now translatable.
2770
2771* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
2772  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
2773  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
2774
2775* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
2776  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
2777  measurably slower.
2778
2779* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
2780  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
2781
2782* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
2783  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
2784
2785* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
2786  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
2787  from Therion and elsewhere.
2788
2789* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
2790  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
2791  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
2792
2793* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
2794  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
2795
2796* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
2797  A. Riggs for his work on this.
2798
2799* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
2800  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
2801
2802* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
2803
2804* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
2805  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
2806  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
2807  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
2808  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
2809  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2810
2811* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
2812
2813Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
2814
2815* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
2816  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
2817  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
2818  Clipstone.
2819
2820* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
2821  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
2822
2823* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
2824  exported SVG files.
2825
2826* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
2827
2828* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
2829  file.
2830
2831* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
2832  GPX files.
2833
2834* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
2835
2836* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
2837  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
2838
2839* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
2840  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
2841  on startup.
2842
2843* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
2844
2845* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
2846  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
2847  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
2848  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
2849  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
2850  other extensions.
2851
2852* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
2853  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
2854  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
2855  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
2856  timezone wrong.
2857
2858* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
2859
2860* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
2861  'SURVEY DATE:'.
2862
2863* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
2864
2865* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
2866
2867* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
2868  enabled.
2869
2870Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
2871
2872* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
2873
2874* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
2875
2876* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
2877
2878* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
2879  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
2880  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
2881
2882* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
2883  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
2884  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
2885
2886* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
2887  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
2888
2889* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
2890
2891* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
2892
2893* Fix some compiler warnings.
2894
2895Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
2896
2897* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
2898  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
2899  Holder.
2900
2901* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
2902  statistics when the value gets large.
2903
2904* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
2905  equations.
2906
2907* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
2908  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
2909  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
2910  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
2911  better when the "View" box is hidden.
2912
2913* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
2914  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
2915
2916* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
2917  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
2918  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
2919  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
2920  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
2921  way is coming soon.
2922
2923* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
2924  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
2925
2926* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
2927  time ago, so update references.
2928
2929* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
2930  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2931
2932* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
2933  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
2934
2935* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
2936  Sebastian Ramacher.
2937
2938* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
2939
2940* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
2941
2942* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
2943
2944* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
2945
2946* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
2947
2948* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
2949  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
2950  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
2951
2952* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
2953
2954* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
2955
2956* img library:
2957
2958  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
2959    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
2960    reading).
2961
2962  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
2963    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
2964
2965  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
2966    support these as an extension.
2967
2968  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
2969
2970* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
2971  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
2972  itself has any translations for.
2973
2974* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
2975
2976* Minor translation updates.
2977
2978* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
2979
2980Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
2981
2982* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
2983  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
2984  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
2985  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
2986  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
2987  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
2988  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
2989  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
2990
2991* New version 8 of the 3d format:
2992
2993  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
2994
2995  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
2996    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
2997
2998  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
2999    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
3000
3001  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
3002
3003  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
3004    human-readable string.
3005
3006  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
3007    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
3008
3009* img library:
3010
3011  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
3012
3013  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
3014    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
3015
3016  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
3017    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
3018    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
3019    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
3020    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
3021    explicitly in the file.
3022
3023  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
3024
3025* aven:
3026
3027  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
3028    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
3029    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
3030    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
3031    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
3032    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
3033
3034  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
3035    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
3036    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
3037    queued up.
3038
3039  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
3040    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
3041
3042  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
3043    them like other legs.
3044
3045  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
3046    station names to positions.
3047
3048  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
3049    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
3050    wrongly.
3051
3052  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
3053
3054  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
3055    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
3056    that's used by the desktop).
3057
3058  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
3059
3060  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
3061    error from cavern.
3062
3063  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
3064
3065  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
3066    in the dialog in sync.
3067
3068* cavern:
3069
3070  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
3071    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
3072    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
3073
3074  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
3075    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
3076
3077  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
3078    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
3079    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
3080    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
3081    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
3082    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
3083    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
3084    degrees.
3085
3086  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
3087    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
3088    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
3089
3090  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
3091
3092  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
3093    warnings.
3094
3095  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
3096    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
3097
3098  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
3099    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
3100
3101  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
3102    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
3103    relevant.
3104
3105  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
3106    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
3107    the same line.
3108
3109  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
3110    "End of line not blank" error.
3111
3112  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
3113    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
3114
3115  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
3116    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
3117
3118  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
3119    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
3120    include that character in the token reported.
3121
3122  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
3123    first item.
3124
3125* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
3126
3127* dump3d:
3128
3129  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
3130    info from 3d files in scripts.
3131
3132  + Add --show-dates option.
3133
3134  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
3135
3136  + Report the data style of legs.
3137
3138  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
3139
3140  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
3141
3142* Test suite:
3143
3144  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
3145    expected output so it passes reliably.
3146
3147  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
3148    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
3149
3150  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
3151    for more.
3152
3153* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
3154  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
3155  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
3156
3157* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
3158  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
3159
3160* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
3161  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
3162
3163* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
3164  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
3165  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
3166  settings.
3167
3168* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
3169  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
3170  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
3171  set correctly.
3172
3173* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
3174  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
3175  them to translate.
3176
3177* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
3178  close to complete.
3179
3180* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
3181
3182* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
3183
3184* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
3185
3186Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
3187
3188* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
3189
3190* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
3191  package (ticket#35).
3192
3193* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
3194  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
3195  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
3196
3197* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
3198  Kahler.
3199
3200* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
3201  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
3202  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
3203  libproj and build survex with:
3204
3205      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3206      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3207
3208* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
3209
3210* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
3211
3212* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
3213  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
3214  file".
3215
3216Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
3217
3218* aven:
3219
3220  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
3221
3222  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
3223    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
3224
3225  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
3226
3227  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
3228
3229  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
3230    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
3231
3232* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
3233  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
3234  error early on).
3235
3236* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
3237  the man page source as well as in the filename.
3238
3239Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
3240
3241* aven:
3242
3243  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
3244    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
3245    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
3246    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
3247
3248  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
3249    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
3250
3251  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
3252
3253  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
3254
3255  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
3256
3257* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
3258
3259Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
3260
3261* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
3262
3263* (Mac OS X version):
3264
3265  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
3266
3267  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
3268
3269  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
3270    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
3271
3272  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
3273
3274* aven:
3275
3276  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
3277
3278  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
3279
3280    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
3281      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
3282      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
3283      character.
3284
3285    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
3286      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
3287      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
3288      and two in a few cases.
3289
3290    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
3291      8 pixels.
3292
3293  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
3294    draw crosses.
3295
3296  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
3297    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
3298    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
3299    is the start or end of a tube.
3300
3301  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
3302    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
3303
3304  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
3305    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
3306    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
3307
3308* extend:
3309
3310  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
3311
3312  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
3313    which means "no info").
3314
3315* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
3316  was no longer used - it certainly is!
3317
3318* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
3319  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
3320  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
3321  current character set.
3322
3323* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
3324
3325* Test suite:
3326
3327  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
3328
3329  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
3330
3331Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
3332
3333* aven:
3334
3335  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
3336    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
3337    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
3338    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
3339    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
3340    usable format.
3341
3342  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
3343    files.  (ticket#26)
3344
3345  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
3346    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
3347
3348  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
3349    using lines.
3350
3351  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
3352    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
3353
3354  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
3355    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
3356    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
3357    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
3358
3359  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
3360    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
3361    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
3362
3363  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
3364    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
3365    in 1.2.1.
3366
3367Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
3368
3369* Translation updates for US English.
3370
3371* aven:
3372
3373  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
3374    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
3375
3376  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
3377
3378  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
3379    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
3380    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
3381    visually similar to the survey legs.
3382
3383  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
3384    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
3385
3386  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
3387    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
3388    does still provide some useful information).
3389
3390  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
3391    a depth band boundary.
3392
3393  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
3394    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
3395    full-screen mode).
3396
3397  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
3398    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
3399    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
3400    are a little better, though still not perfect.
3401
3402  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
3403    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
3404
3405  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
3406    that station.
3407
3408  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
3409    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
3410
3411  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
3412    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
3413    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
3414    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
3415    a case as it is a bug).
3416
3417  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
3418    invalidated on window width or height changes.
3419
3420  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
3421    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
3422    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
3423    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
3424
3425  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
3426    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
3427    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
3428    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
3429    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
3430    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
3431    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
3432
3433  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
3434    similarly for other compass points.
3435
3436  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
3437    info in the "About" dialog.
3438
3439  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
3440    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
3441
3442  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
3443    as well as still working with older versions.
3444
3445  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
3446    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
3447
3448  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
3449    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
3450    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
3451    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
3452    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
3453
3454  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
3455    nicer and make better use of the available space.
3456
3457  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
3458    dialog.
3459
3460  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
3461    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
3462
3463  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
3464    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
3465
3466  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
3467
3468  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
3469
3470  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
3471    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
3472    being pressed and toggle full screen.
3473
3474* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
3475  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
3476
3477* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
3478
3479* More messages are now available to be translated.
3480
3481* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
3482  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
3483
3484* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
3485
3486* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
3487  sudo for installing on Unix.
3488
3489* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
3490  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
3491
3492* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
3493  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
3494
3495* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
3496
3497Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
3498
3499* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
3500  English.
3501
3502* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
3503  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
3504  case.
3505
3506* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
3507  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
3508  these into Survex's .msg format.
3509
3510* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
3511  an actual command).
3512
3513* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
3514  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
3515  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
3516  recurrence of that).
3517
3518* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
3519  than /usr/doc/survex.
3520
3521* aven:
3522
3523  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
3524
3525  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
3526    nicer at larger sizes.
3527
3528  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
3529    with GLX >= 1.3.
3530
3531  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
3532
3533  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
3534    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
3535    required libraries set up for building releases.
3536
3537  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
3538
3539  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
3540
3541  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
3542    rendered with icons on some platforms.
3543
3544  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
3545    ISO8859-1).
3546
3547  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
3548    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
3549
3550  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
3551    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
3552
3553* cavern:
3554
3555  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
3556    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
3557    fatal error!
3558
3559  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
3560    format to output.  (ticket#21)
3561
3562* img library:
3563
3564  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
3565    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
3566
3567* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
3568  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
3569
3570Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
3571
3572* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
3573  Portuguese, and US English.
3574
3575* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
3576  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
3577
3578* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
3579  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
3580
3581* img.c:
3582
3583  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
3584
3585  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
3586
3587* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
3588
3589* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
3590  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
3591  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
3592  translated.
3593
3594Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
3595
3596* aven:
3597
3598  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
3599    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
3600
3601  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
3602    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
3603    addresses ticket#12.
3604
3605  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
3606    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
3607    consistent shape.
3608
3609  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
3610    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
3611    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
3612    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
3613
3614  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
3615    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
3616
3617  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
3618
3619  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
3620    more places.
3621
3622  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
3623    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
3624
3625* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
3626
3627* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
3628  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
3629
3630* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
3631
3632* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
3633  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
3634  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
3635  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
3636  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
3637  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
3638
3639* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
3640  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
3641  redirecting to it.
3642
3643* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
3644  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
3645  I/O).
3646
3647* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
3648  headers.
3649
3650* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
3651
3652* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
3653  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
3654
3655* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
3656
3657Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
3658
3659* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
3660
3661* aven:
3662
3663  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
3664    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
3665    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
3666    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
3667
3668  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
3669
3670  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
3671    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
3672    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
3673    a number.
3674
3675  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
3676    log window.
3677
3678  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
3679    various cases.
3680
3681  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
3682    (ticket#9)
3683
3684  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
3685    namespace with its own "Point" class.
3686
3687  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
3688    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
3689
3690  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
3691
3692  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
3693    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
3694
3695* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
3696  give them before.
3697
3698* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
3699  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
3700  point looking for them now.
3701
3702* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
3703  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
3704  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
3705  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
3706
3707* manual:
3708
3709  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
3710
3711  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
3712    (change taken from 1.0).
3713
3714* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
3715
3716Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
3717
3718* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
3719
3720* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
3721
3722* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
3723
3724* aven:
3725
3726  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
3727
3728  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
3729    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
3730    seem to be Unicode now).
3731
3732  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
3733    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
3734
3735  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
3736    text on the survey pane:
3737
3738    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
3739
3740    - Character spacing is improved.
3741
3742    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
3743
3744  + "About" dialog:
3745
3746    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
3747      bug reporting.
3748
3749    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
3750      modern gfx card.
3751
3752    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
3753
3754  + Processing .svx files:
3755
3756    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
3757
3758    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
3759      than opening a separate frame for it.
3760
3761    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
3762
3763    - Fix small memory leak.
3764
3765  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
3766    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
3767    such a name.
3768
3769  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
3770
3771  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
3772    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
3773    invocations.
3774
3775  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
3776
3777  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
3778
3779  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
3780
3781* Documentation:
3782
3783  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
3784
3785  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
3786    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
3787    together isn't very useful.
3788
3789  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
3790
3791  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
3792    the FSF website.
3793
3794  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
3795    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
3796    the source code.
3797
3798* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
3799  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
3800
3801* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
3802  package from the source tarball.
3803
3804* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
3805  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
3806
3807Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
3808
3809* aven:
3810
3811  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
3812
3813  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
3814
3815  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
3816    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
3817    names/crosses).
3818
3819Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
3820
3821* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
3822
3823* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
3824
3825* aven:
3826
3827  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
3828
3829  + Fix character spacing.
3830
3831  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
3832    proportional fonts.
3833
3834  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
3835    rather than the filename.
3836
3837  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
3838
3839  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
3840    depth colouring.
3841
3842  + Add "Colour by Error".
3843
3844  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
3845
3846  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
3847
3848  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
3849
3850  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
3851
3852  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
3853
3854  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
3855
3856  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
3857
3858  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
3859    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
3860
3861  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
3862
3863  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
3864    default.
3865
3866* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
3867  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
3868
3869* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
3870  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
3871
3872* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
3873
3874* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
3875
3876Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
3877
3878* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
3879  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
3880  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
3881  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
3882  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
3883
3884* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
3885  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
3886  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
3887
3888* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
3889  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
3890  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
3891
3892* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
3893  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
3894  allowed).
3895
3896* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
3897
3898* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3899
3900* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3901
3902Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
3903
3904* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
3905  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
3906
3907* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
3908  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
3909  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
3910
3911* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
3912  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
3913  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
3914  the new "*data passage" style.
3915
3916* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
3917  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
3918
3919* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
3920  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
3921  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
3922  some cases.
3923
3924* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
3925  with no survey loaded.
3926
3927* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
3928
3929* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
3930  loaded a survey.
3931
3932* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
3933
3934* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
3935
3936* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
3937  doesn't exist.
3938
3939* Updated French and Italian translations.
3940
3941* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
3942  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
3943
3944* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
3945  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
3946  update their copy).
3947
3948* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
3949  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
3950  trying to compile).
3951
3952Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
3953
3954* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
3955  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
3956
3957* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
3958  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
3959  has been disabled.
3960
3961* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
3962  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
3963  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
3964  time.
3965
3966* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
3967  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
3968  highlighted stations.
3969
3970* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
3971
3972* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
3973  the tilt from plan to elevation.
3974
3975* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
3976  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
3977
3978* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
3979  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
3980  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
3981
3982* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
3983  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
3984
3985* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
3986
3987* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
3988
3989* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
3990
3991* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
3992  run by an unprivileged user.
3993
3994* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
3995  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
3996  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
3997
3998* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
3999  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
4000
4001* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
4002
4003* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
4004  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
4005
4006* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
4007  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
4008
4009* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
4010  if it isn't.
4011
4012* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
4013  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
4014
4015* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
4016  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
4017
4018* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
4019  reset to default view as well).
4020
4021* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
4022  empty.
4023
4024* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
4025  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
4026
4027* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
4028  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
4029  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
4030
4031* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
4032  and non-zero width lines.
4033
4034* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
4035  was turned on.
4036
4037* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
4038  not always being fully written.
4039
4040Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
4041
4042* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
4043  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
4044  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
4045  date near the middle of that period).
4046
4047* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
4048  with MS Windows).
4049
4050* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
4051  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
4052  several surveys in the same directory).
4053
4054* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
4055  our check for them to include that knowledge.
4056
4057* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
4058
4059* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
4060  moved off a station.
4061
4062* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
4063  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
4064
4065* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
4066
4067* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
4068  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
4069
4070* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
4071  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
4072  dialogs.
4073
4074* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
4075  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
4076
4077* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
4078  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
4079  introduced in 1.1.6).
4080
4081* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
4082  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
4083  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
4084
4085* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
4086  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
4087
4088* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
4089
4090* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
4091
4092Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
4093
4094* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
4095  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
4096
4097* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
4098  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
4099  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
4100  3d file.
4101
4102* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
4103
4104* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
4105
4106* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
4107  Instead turn off depth colouring.
4108
4109* aven: Export as HPGL added.
4110
4111* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
4112  Martin Green).
4113
4114* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
4115  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
4116  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
4117
4118* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
4119
4120* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
4121  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
4122
4123* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
4124  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
4125  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
4126  of everything else.
4127
4128* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
4129  presentation icons.
4130
4131* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
4132  keyboard focus there.
4133
4134* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
4135
4136* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
4137
4138* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
4139
4140* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
4141
4142* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
4143  language to use for messages.
4144
4145* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
4146  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
4147
4148* Removed old printer drivers.
4149
4150* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
4151  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
4152
4153Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
4154
4155* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
4156
4157* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
4158
4159* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
4160  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
4161
4162* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
4163  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
4164
4165* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
4166
4167* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
4168  underground legs is toggled.
4169
4170* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
4171  attached to the previous data.
4172
4173* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
4174  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
4175  them.
4176
4177Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
4178
4179* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
4180
4181* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
4182  continental European countries).
4183
4184* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
4185  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
4186  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
4187
4188* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
4189
4190* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
4191  they're needed.
4192
4193* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
4194
4195* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
4196
4197* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
4198
4199* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
4200  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
4201  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
4202
4203* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
4204
4205Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
4206
4207* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
4208
4209* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
4210
4211* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
4212
4213* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
4214
4215* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
4216
4217* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
4218
4219* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
4220  when there's a presentation loaded.
4221
4222* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
4223  in cave view.
4224
4225* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
4226
4227* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
4228  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
4229  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
4230
4231* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
4232  filename for file history and window title.
4233
4234* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
4235  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
4236  only needed with GTK1.2.
4237
4238* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
4239
4240* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
4241
4242* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
4243
4244* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
4245
4246Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
4247
4248* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
4249  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
4250  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
4251
4252* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
4253  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
4254
4255* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
4256  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
4257  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
4258  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
4259
4260* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
4261
4262* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
4263  with --help and --version.
4264
4265* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
4266  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
4267  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
4268  Fixed all these problems.
4269
4270* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
4271  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
4272  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
4273
4274* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
4275  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
4276  sources.
4277
4278* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
4279
4280* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
4281
4282* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
4283  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
4284
4285* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
4286  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
4287  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
4288  animating.
4289
4290* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
4291
4292* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
4293
4294* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
4295  to this branch.
4296
4297* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
4298
4299  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
4300
4301  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
4302
4303  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
4304
4305* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
4306
4307* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
4308  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
4309
4310* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
4311
4312* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
4313  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
4314
4315* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
4316
4317* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
4318  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
4319  for anyone building from CVS).
4320
4321* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
4322
4323* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
4324
4325* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
4326
4327* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
4328
4329* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
4330  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
4331  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
4332
4333* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
4334  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
4335
4336* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
4337
4338* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
4339  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
4340  loaded).
4341
4342* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
4343
4344Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
4345
4346* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
4347  startup.
4348
4349* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
4350  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
4351
4352Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
4353
4354* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
4355  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
4356  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
4357
4358* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
4359  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
4360  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
4361
4362* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
4363  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
4364  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
4365
4366* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
4367
4368* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
4369  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
4370
4371* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
4372  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
