1TOBE Changes in 1.1.8:
2
3* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
4
5* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
6  run by an unprivileged user.
7
8* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
9  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
10  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
11
12* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
13  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
14
15* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
16
17* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
18  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
19
20* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
21  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
22
23Changes in 1.1.7:
24
25* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
26  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
27  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
28  date near the middle of that period).
29
30* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
31  with MS Windows).
32
33* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
34  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
35  several surveys in the same directory).
36
37* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
38  our for them to include that knowledge.
39
40* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
41
42* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
43  moved off a station.
44
45* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
46  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
47
48* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
49
50* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
51  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
52
53* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
54  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
55  dialogs.
56
57* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
58  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
59
60* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
61  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
62  introduced in 1.1.6).
63
64* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
65  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
66  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
67
68* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
69  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
70
71* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
72
73* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
74
75Changes in 1.1.6:
76
77* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
78  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
79
80* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
81  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
82  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
83  3d file.
84
85* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
86
87* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
88
89* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
90  Instead turn off depth colouring.
91
92* aven: Export as HPGL added.
93
94* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
95  Martin Green).
96
97* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
98  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
99  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
100
101* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
102
103* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
104  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
105
106* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
107  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
108  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
109  of everything else.
110
111* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
112  presentation icons.
113
114* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
115  keyboard focus there.
116
117* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
118
119* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
120
121* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
122
123* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
124
125* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
126  language to use for messages.
127
128* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
129  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
130
131* Removed old printer drivers.
132
133* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
134  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
135
136Changes in 1.1.5:
137
138* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
139
140* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
141
142* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
143  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
144
145* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
146  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
147 
148* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
149
150* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
151  underground legs is toggled.
152
153* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
154  attached to the previous data.
155
156* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
157  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
158  them.
159
160Changes in 1.1.4:
161
162* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
163
164* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
165  continental European countries).
166
167* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
168  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
169  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
170
171* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
172
173* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
174  they're needed.
175
176* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
177
178* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
179
180* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
181
182* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
183  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
184  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
185
186* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
187
188Changes in 1.1.3:
189
190* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
191
192* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
193
194* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
195
196* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
197
198* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
199
200* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
201
202* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
203  when there's a presentation loaded.
204
205* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
206  in cave view.
207
208* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
209
210* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
211  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
212  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
213
214* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
215  filename for file history and window title.
216
217* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
218  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
219  only needed with GTK1.2.
220
221* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
222
223* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
224
225* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
226
227* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
228
229Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
230
231* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
232  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
233  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
234
235* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
236  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
237
238* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
239  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
240  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
241  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
242
243* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
244
245* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
246  with --help and --version.
247
248* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
249  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
250  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
251  Fixed all these problems.
252
253* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
254  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
255  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
256
257* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
258  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
259  sources.
260
261* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
262
263* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
264
265* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
266  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
267
268* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
269  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
270  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
271  animating.
272
273* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
274
275* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
276
277* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
278  to this branch.
279
280* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
281
282  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
283
284  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
285
286  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
287
288* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
289
290* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
291  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
292
293* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
294
295* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
296  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
297
298* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
299
300* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
301  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
302  for anyone building from CVS).
303
304* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
305
306* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
307
308* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
309
310* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
311
312* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
313  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
314  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
315
316* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
317  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
318
319* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
320
321* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
322  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
323  loaded).
324
325* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
326
327Changes in 1.1.1:
328
329* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
330  startup.
331
332* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
333  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
334
335Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0:
336
337* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
338  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
339  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
340
341* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
342  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
343  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
344
345* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
346  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
347  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
348
349* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
350
351* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
352  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
353
354* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
355  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
356
357* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
358  better use of screen space.
359
360* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
361
362* aven: Perspective view.
363
364* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
365
366* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
367  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
368
369* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
370  and load/save/run them.
371
372* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
373
374* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
375
376* aven: Depth fogging option.
377
378* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
379
380* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
381
382* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
383  showing the surface legs.
384
385* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
386
387Changes in 1.0.32:
388
389* aven: Fixed font sizes in "Print Preview" and printouts.
390
391* aven: In the print setup dialog, replaced "Orientation" radio buttons with
392  "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons.
393
394* aven: Fixed info box on printouts of elevations, tilted views, and
395  extend elevations.
396
397* aven: Added "fit on one page" option, and make it the default.
398
399* aven: Reorder "Cancel", "Preview", "Print" buttons and make "Print" the
400  default button.
401
402* aven: Read settings back from the print dialog when the "Print" button is
403  pressed (was only done for "Preview" previously).
404
405* aven: Sorted out the initial size of the "Print Preview" window.
406
407* aven: Fixed the window manager's close button on the "Print Preview" window
408  - previously this was being ignored.
409
410* aven: Sorted out initial survey scaling when loading a survey at startup.
411
412* aven: Fixed the measuring line to work better when the survey tree is
413  manipulated with keys.  Tweaked redrawing of the measuring line to be a
414  smidgen more efficient.  Fixed the blob and ring size which were one
415  pixel too small on Windows.
416
417* aven: Added "System Information:" section to the "About" dialog to hold
418  information useful when reporting bugs.  Currently it contains the wxWindows
419  version, OS version, and colour depth information.
420
421* aven: Changed the "About" dialog's "Close" button to be "OK" for consistency
422  with pretty much every other application.
423
424* aven: Added "File->Export as..." which integrates cad3d's functionality
425  within aven.
426
427* aven: Updated a few icons.
428
429* cad3d: Added SVG export support from John Pybus
430
431* (Unix version): Fixed to allow compilation with GCC 3.4
432
433* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to using innosetup 4 for the installer
434  (we were using innosetup 2).  This results in a much smaller download
435  and the installer now translates itself into the currently set language.
436  The installer will no longer work on Windows NT 3.51, but I seriously
437  doubt anyone is still using that...
438
439* Updates to German translation.
440
441Changes in 1.0.31:
442
443* (MS Windows version): Fixed problems with the new printing code by building
444  with a newer version of wxWindows (2.5.2 instead of 2.4.1).
445
446* aven: Fixed grid menu item so that it always correctly reflects whether the
447  grid is enabled or not.
448
449* aven: Minor improvements to appearance of a few toolbar icons.
450
451* Updates to Catalan, French, Italian, Romanian, Slovak, and Spanish
452  translations.
453
454* cavern: Fixed Romanian message which was appearing in English .err files.
455
456Changes in 1.0.30:
457
458* aven: Added printing directly from Aven!
459
460* aven: Fixed memory leak when showing the "About" dialog.
461
462* (MacOS X version): Now installable from a disk image package.
463
464* cavern: Equates are no longer considered when deciding which stations are
465  flagged as surface and underground.
466
467* Romanian translation mostly completed.
468
469* (Unix version): Debian: Minor packaging tweaks.
470
471Changes in 1.0.29:
472
473* cad3d: Fixed problem with DXF files which stopped them loading with some
474  drawing packages (introduced in 1.0.27).
475
476* aven: Changed File->Exit to File->Quit.
477
478* Removed some unused messages from the message files.
479
480* (Unix version): Fixed SRPMs to build on RedHat 9 and Fedora Core 1 (patch
481  from John Pybus).
482
483* Romanian translation started.
484
485* (Unix version): Debian: Fixed new lintian warnings about missing quotes in
486  menu files.
487
488Changes in 1.0.28:
489
490* Fixed 3d file reading code to fix incorrect unpacking of compressed station
491  names in a rare case.  Also checked other rare cases work correctly.
492
493Changes in 1.0.27:
494
495* cad3d: DXF output now puts surface legs, stations, and labels in separate
496  layers.
497
498* (Unix version): distribute desc-svxedit.txt.
499
500Changes in 1.0.26:
501
502* cavern: Fixed interleaved topofil data style - the length was always being
503  calculated as zero.
504
505* (Unix version): aven: "All Files" now shows files without extensions too.
506
507* aven: added Ctrl+Q as shortcut for File->Exit.
508
509* aven: depth colouring now uses a proper colour gradient.
510
511* (MacOS X version): aven: the keyboard and mouse now work!  It turns out that
512  we must apply resources *after* installing.
513
514* (MacOS X version): aven: now works when run from the MacOS X Finder.
515
516* (MacOS X version): look for message files and other resources relative to the
517  binaries so that the user can install Survex from a disk image in the location
518  of their choice.
519
520* (MacOS X version): fixed not to try to build aven if wxWindows isn't
521  installed.
522
523* cad3d: fixed -e and -r options to not crash (the long versions have always
524  worked).
525
526* extend: fixed to initialise an internal structure - failing to do so was
527  probably causing crashes on some platforms.
528
529* Fixed standard graphics for "Note", "Warning", etc in the PostScript manual.
530
531* Documentation updated.
532
533* (Unix version): fixed svxedit man page which previously contained xcaverot
534  documentation!
535
536* test suite: check that cavern doesn't report "nan" or "NaN" for any values.
537
538* (Unix version): fixed configure --enable-defaultlang=XX to work.
539
540* (Unix version): fixed configure code to turn on lots of GCC warnings and fixed
541  most of them.
542
543* (MS Windows version): assorted tweaks to allow building with MS Visual C/C++.
544
545Changes in 1.0.25:
546
547* (MacOS X version): hopefully fixed building of aven.
548
549* (Unix version): updated config.guess and config.sub so should build out of
550  the box on more Unix platforms.
551
552* (Unix version): Debian: added missing Build-Depends on xlibs-dev.
553
554* (Unix version): RPMs: give up supplying binary RPMs due to apparently
555  insurmountable technical problems.
556
557Changes in 1.0.24:
558
559* cavern: fixed LEVEL (broken since around 1.0.8) and added test case.
560
561* cavern: corrected handling of declination in Compass DAT files and added test
562  case; also added tests for other aspects of Compass DAT file reading.
563
564* printps/printpcl: fixed blank page detection in some obscure cases.
565
566* Documentation: started manual section on working with Compass data files.
567
568* (Unix version): fixed compilation problems with aven and getopt.h on MacOS X
569  (and probably some other Unix versions).
570
571* (Unix version): Debian package now Build-Depends on gcc-3.2 and g++-3.2.
572
573Changes in 1.0.23:
574
575* Documentation: include 3d v3 file format description on MS Windows, MS DOS,
576  and RISC OS too; include PNG graphics for manual on MS Windows; minor updates
577  to manual.
578
579* Prefer wxWindows 2.4 if it's available.
580
581* (MacOS X version): detect MacOS X and look for MacOS X build of wxWindows;
582  automatically add resource fork to aven binary.
583
584* Disabled experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - it isn't currently
585  working and makes the printer drivers unusable on Chinese versions of MS
586  Windows.
587
588* (Unix version): tweaked debian packaging.
589
590* cavern: Handling of "*:" at start of file wasn't fully fixed in 1.0.19.
591
592Changes in 1.0.22:
593
594* aven: Fixed handling of extended elevations (and other flat surveys) -
595  they are meant to be "locked flat" but this wasn't fully working before.
596
597* Documentation: 3d v3 file format description: fixed error in description of
598  codes 0x01-0x0e; include it in binary packages (not only with the source
599  code).
600
601Changes in 1.0.21:
602
603* cavern: when reading Compass DAT files, we now processes compass and clino
604  backsights, and recognise the "X" flag which indicates a leg should be
605  entirely ignored.  And we now report correct line number with errors in
606  Compass .MAK files.
607
608* cavern: if "*infer plumbs on", don't infer a plumb if the clino is
609  +/- 90 degrees, but the backclino isn't (and vice versa).
610
611* cavern: fixed 3dx output so it actually works with Chasm once more.
612
613* cavern: don't allocate extra space needed for producing 3dx output for
614  Chasm unless we're actually producing that output - saves about 8 bytes
615  per station.
616
617* cavern: removed slightly too keen sanity check which could misfire in very
618  unusual circumstances.
619
620* (MS Windows version): all .ico files except 3d.ico have been missing since
621  1.0.17 (or maybe 1.0.16) - fixed.  You wouldn't notice this if you installed
622  over an previous version.
623
624Changes in 1.0.20:
625
626* aven: update display when "Metric" or "Degrees" is toggled.
627
628* cavern: fixed handling of compass and clino corrections in Compass survey
629  data - these were interpreted as radians rather than degrees so the
630  correction was about 57 times too large!)
631
632* Improved handling of Compass PLT files - if the survey name is empty, don't
633  insert a survey separator character.
634
635* Documentation: fixed incorrect markup which resulted in a bogus footnote.
636
637Changes in 1.0.19:
638
639* cavern: you can now process Compass format survey data (.DAT and .MAK files) -
640  these can even be linked into a Survex dataset with "*include fulford.dat" or
641  "*include lech.mak" to allow processing of mixed datasets.
642
643* cavern: major speedup (up to 60%) when reading in survey data containing
644  a lot of stations in the same survey hierarchy level (which is how Compass
645  files are handled).
646
647* cavern: don't warn about a compass reading on a plumbed leg if the
648  plumb was inferred and the compass reading is zero.
649
650* cavern: reduced memory usage in code which reads a survey station name.
651
652* cavern: reported CPU time would go negative if cavern ran for more than
653  about 36 minutes (highly unlikely but not impossible on a slow machine
654  with a large, highly interconnect survey) - fixed.
655
656* cavern: avoid unnecessary work when --percentage isn't specified.
657
658* cavern: Writing "*:" at the start of a .svx file would crash cavern - fixed
659  and added test case.  This is an error anyway, but it shouldn't cause a
660  crash.
661
662* Don't distribute unused toolbar icons.
663
664* Documentation: minor updates.
665
666Changes in 1.0.18:
667
668* (Unix version): Fixed "Process" action on .svx files.
669
670* (Unix version): File associations: if svxedit isn't installed, run gnome-edit
671  instead.
672
673* (Unix version): In Debian packages, now include file associations and file
674  icons in the survex package rather than survex-aven.
675
676* (Unix version): File associations were missing from RPM packages; moved
677  aven and svxedit man pages to their respective subpackages; moved aven icons
678  to the aven subpackage.
679
680* Documentation: added details of the 3d file format (version 3).
681
682* Updated TODO list.
683
684Changes in 1.0.17:
685
686* (MS Windows version): Fixed "Open in SvxEdit" to work (and if tcl isn't
687  install this action now falls back to using notepad).  SvxEdit now has
688  its own icon.
689
690* (Unix version): Install mime types, icons, and file associations for Gnome.
691  Note: at present GMC doesn't seem to notice new files being created (e.g.
692  Process on a .svx file creates .3d and .err files) - you have to manually
693  refresh the view.
694
695* Minor update to manual.
696
697Changes in 1.0.16:
698
699* (MS Windows version): Really fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
700  programs from finding the message files.
701
702* (MS Windows version): Remove any existing "Open" file association for .svx
703  files.
704
705Changes in 1.0.15:
706
707* (MS Windows version): Fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
708  programs from finding the message files.
709
710* (MS Windows version): "Open in Notepad" is now the double-click action
711  for .svx files once again, "Open in SvxEdit" is an action in the menu
712  obtained with the right mouse button.
713
714Changes in 1.0.14:
715
716* svxedit: This is a Survex data entry editor from the therion team.  It needs
717  tcl and wish installed - for MS Windows an installer is available for free
718  from Activeware.
719
720* Improved handling of Compass PLT files and CMAP xyz files - no longer change
721  dots to spaces in survey and station names - instead use a space as the
722  separator between survey name and station name.
723
724* aven: when picking non-overlapping labels, show a slight preference to shorter
725  labels with the aim of displaying more labels.
726
727* aven: fixed hard to notice problem which could cause the cave to appear
728  tilted sideways after a lot of manipulation.
729
730* cavern: Modest speed improvement (0.5% for sample dataset).
731
732* cavern: fixed a rarely sighted bug which caused erroneous error about some
733  stations not being attached to a fixed point.
734
735* cavern: fixed clino readings and DIRECTION to work in interleaved data.
736
737* cavern: improved error reporting when an invalid value is given for a
738  DIRECTION reading.
739
740* cavern: fixed "singular matrix" error when very low SDs were specified.
741
742* print*: if the --raw is used, the survey can now use the space this would
743  have taken up.
744
745* Reading of ASCII 3d files now copes with MSDOS/MS Windows line endings
746  once again.  Added regression test for this.
747
748* (MS Windows version): Programs run from the command line now find message
749  files without SURVEXHOME needing to be set.
750
751* Updated documentation.
752
753Changes in 1.0.13:
754
755* aven: Fixed bug which caused the occasional spurious leg to be shown
756  connecting arbitrary stations.
757
758* extend: try to extend along a survey, and make breaks where other surveys
759  join.
760
761* cavern: Number reading code reworked to allow repeat readings to be
762  supported, but the actual repeat reading code is currently disabled,
763  and everything should work exactly as before.
764
765* Experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - only a few messages are
766  currently translated.
767
768Changes in 1.0.12:
769
770* diffpos: fixed to work on 64bit architectures.
771
772* sorterr: fixed to work with more than 1024 traverses.
773
774* Fixed handling of iso-8859-2 character set and MS Windows code page 1250
775  (both cover Eastern European languages).
776
777* (MS Windows version): install file associations for Compass .plt and .plf
778  files and for CMAP .xyz files.  Also install the file icon for .plt and
779  .plf files in case Compass isn't installed (thanks to Larry Fish for
780  permission to include the icon).
781
782* (Unix version): running an installed program with an explicit path works
783  again.
784
785* (Unix version): xcaverot: automatically switch on PDA mode if the screen is
786  less than 640 pixels wide or less than 480 pixels high.
787
788* (Unix version): minor portability improvements.
789
790* Updates to Portuguese translation - all translations are now up-to-date.
791
792Changes in 1.0.11:
793
794* aven: improvements in 1.0.10 to the file type selector only work properly
795  on MS Windows, and with wxGtk >= 2.3 on Unix (the latest stable release is
796  2.2.9 where this doesn't work).  Fixed to work as well as possible on 2.2.9,
797  and as intended on 2.3.
798
799* aven: fixed so that loading PLT files works regardless of the current locale
800  (previously it would fail for locales where the decimal character wasn't
801  '.').
802
803* aven: key actions during autorotation no longer temporarily pause
804  autorotation.
805
806* aven: switching to plan or elevation while rotating is now smooth.
807
808* aven: removed undocumented and confusing "free rotation mode".
809
810* (MS Windows version): aven: focus now set correctly after loading a file by
811  double-clicking or from the command line.
812
813* cad3d: write dummy passage dimensions to .plt files to avoid Compass bug.
814
815* printwin/printps: now support coloured printouts.
816
817* print*: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
818
819* extend: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
820
821* Updates to Italian translation.
822
823* Minor documentation updates.
824
825Changes in 1.0.10:
826
827* (MS Windows version): aven: fixed assert failure upon turning on station
828  names.
829
830* aven: only add a file to the list of recently used files if it was opened
831  successfully.
832
833* aven: recognise ".plf" as a Compass PLT file too; and on Unix list "*.PLT",
834  "*.PLF", "*.XYZ", and "*.3D" as well as the lowercase versions to help people
835  who transfer files from MSDOS/MS Windows.
836
837* cavern: fixed bogus warning triggered by "*begin abc.def" (I'm not sure
838  that this should be valid, but the warning given wasn't appropriate).
839
840* Fixed scaling problem when reading PLT file (feet->metres conversion
841  factor was being applied backwards!)
842
843* Fixed potential problem when reading or writing a 3d file which couldn't
844  be opened.
845
846* Translate dots to spaces in survey names in Compass PLT files.
847
848* Better handling of PLT files which have a D command before any M command.
849
850* Updates to German and Italian translations.
851
852Changes in 1.0.9:
853
854* aven: Fixed jerky start when auto-rotation begins.
855
856* cavern: Fixed Direction reading - bug previously made it unusable.
857
858* (MS Windows version): cad3d: fixed broken PLT output (had a double CR at the
859  end of each line).
860
861* (Unix version): RPMs now have the docs in /usr/share/doc and the man pages
862  in /usr/share/man to conform with the FHS (and where RedHat packages put
863  them).
864
865* Updates to French, Spanish, Catalan, and Slovak translations.
866
867Changes in 1.0.8:
868
869* Slovak translation added; updated German, Catalan, and Spanish translations.
870
871* aven: reduced memory usage by around 25% and increased speed and
872  responsiveness.
873
874* aven: rate of rotation and switching between plan and elevation now adjusted
875  to the speed of redraw, so aven behaves in a similar way independent of the
876  speed of the computer or size of the survey.
877
878* aven: provide list of most recently loaded files (preserved between runs of
879  the program).
880
881* aven: settings for "Metric" and "Degrees" are preserved between runs.
882
883* aven: moved some menu items from "View" to "Controls" as they probably
884  belong there and the "View" menu was getting out of hand.
885
886* aven: cursor keys now translate cave in the same way the mouse does (i.e. now
887  work as in caverot and xcaverot).
888
889* aven: eliminated the "twinkling label" effect when dragging the cave with the
890  right mouse button.
891
892* aven: the measuring line moves much more smoothly now: the mouse cursor now
893  snaps to the nearest station, rather than just a near station; and when the
894  line moves, we now only redraw the affected area of the window.
895
896* aven: resolved annoying limit on zooming in on large surveys.  This was a
897  crude way of preventing random lines due to overflow in the windowing system.
898  Aven now clips lines itself at high zoom levels, and limits zoom in to
899  approximately 1mm/pixel.
900
901* aven: zoom in/out with keyboard wasn't subject to any limits - now restricted
902  to sane values as with zoom in/out with the mouse.
903
904* print*: added --raw switch to turn of info box, scale bar, and page footer.
905  This can be useful if you want to import the output into another application.
906
907* print*: improved output when --no-border is used.
908
909* printpcl/printdm: Added new .ini setting "font_bitmap" which allows the user
910  to choose between alternative fonts.  Current we supply "default" and "bold".
911
912* printps/printhpgl: Fixed --skip-blanks which would incorrectly skip non-blank
913  pages on rare occasions.
914
915* cavern: added support for BackCompass and BackClino.
916
917* cavern: implemented "*units clino percent".
918
919* cavern: added "*infer exports on".  Any stations seen while this is on will
920  have the necessary *export-s inferred when accessed from outside their
921  own survey.  This allows linking a survey which uses *export to one which
922  doesn't.  It's also useful for a maze cave where so many stations can
923  be linked to that listing them explicitly isn't desirable.
924
925* cavern: N-S, E-W, and vertical ranges now only count stations which are in
926  underground surveys.
927
928* cavern: *infer plumbs wasn't inferring -90 to be DOWN - fixed.
929
930* cavern: *infer was giving an internal error if the argument was unknown -
931  now it gives the correct error message.
932
933* cavern: fixed handling of omitted clino readings when OMIT is *set to be
934  different from MINUS and PLUS (new test omitclino).
935
936* cavern: fixed a bogus warning for any station which was only used in a line
937  of data which was rejected because of an error.
938
939* cavern: added error if the *units factor is zero (e.g. "*units tape 0 feet").
940
941* cavern: removed the ill-thought-out and never implemented LENGTHOUTPUT
942  and ANGLEOUTPUT quantities.
943
944* cavern: resolved mismatch between bcra5.svx and the default SDs, and the
945  odd values in bcra3.svx.  We are now interpreting the BCRA limits as 2
946  standard deviations (previously bcra5.svx used 3 sds, bcra3 used 3.33 sds for
947  tape and position, and .75 sds for compass and clino, and cavern used 1 sd
948  by default).
949
950* ChangeLog now only includes entries since the previous release (the full file
951  is 220K or so, and of interest to very few people).  MSDOS and MS Windows
952  versions now comfortably fit on a 1.44M floppy once again.
953
954* Test suite now checks that all programs will run successfully with "--help"
955  and with "--version".  This should avoid problems such as that which broke
956  the printer drivers in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
957
958* (Unix version): uninstalled binaries now use the path they are run with to
959  find support files, which means SURVEXHOME is no longer required, and has
960  been removed.
961
962Changes in 1.0.7:
963
964* print*: halted with a failed assertion in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
965
966Changes in 1.0.6:
967
968* aven: "Reverse Controls" now works as in xcaverot and caverot.
969
970* aven: free rotation mode (engage by pressing control while left dragging,
971  exit with Delete) improved.
972
973* aven: using File->Open when a file was already loaded caused a crash
974  if a station was "grey highlighted" in the survey tree - fixed.
975
976* aven: added hourglass for "find" operation.
977
978* aven: reenabled loading of files by drag-and-drop (accidentally disabled
979  in 1.0.4 and 1.0.5).
980
981* aven: improved handling of flat surveys (e.g. output of extend, surveys
982  with no clino information).
983
984* aven: surveys with stations but no legs no longer cause the labels and
985  crosses buttons to behave oddly.
986
987* aven: removed quite a bit of unused and superfluous code.
988
989* Spell-checked documentation.
990
991Changes in 1.0.5:
992
993* Fixed bug in img_open_survey() which could cause a crash if you tried to
994  open an unrecognised file (i.e. not .3d, .pos, .plt, or .xyz format).
995
996* North and East were the wrong way round when reading in .plt files.
997
998* cad3d: Improved .plt file output a little - there's probably enough file
999  structure for Compass to read them now.
1000
1001* Documentation updates.
1002
1003Changes in 1.0.4:
1004
1005* extend: previously only kept one name for an equated group of stations in the
1006  extended .3d file; now keeps all the names.
1007
1008* cad3d: if an output filename is given, use its extension to pick the default
1009  output format.
1010
1011* aven: movement with keyboard is now accelerated by Shift as in caverot.
1012
1013* print*: --no-borders fixed to work as documented; --no-cutlines added to
1014  turn off the dashed lines where pages join on multi-page printouts.
1015
1016* aven: tracked down two uninitialised variables which seems to fix the
1017  failure to load a survey on startup which some people have been experiencing
1018  on Microsoft Windows.
1019
1020* aven: code cleaned up - should improve performance a little.
1021
1022* img routines: img_rewind() now returns a value indicating success/failure.
1023
1024* Improvements to .plt file reading, notably that distances in the file are
1025  now interpreted as being in feet rather than metres.  Also .plt files should
1026  now be recognised even with a different extension, and we cope with an odd
1027  special case better.
1028
1029* Added support for reading CMAP XYZ files.  There are two variants of these
1030  - the "shot" format is fully implemented, the "station" format currently
1031  just reads the station names and positions - the legs are ignored (sadly
1032  the sample files I have do not match the format specification).
1033
1034* (MacOS X version): aven: aven now builds on MacOS X - we just need to sort
1035  out packaging now...
1036
1037* (MSDOS version): upgraded graphics library used to Allegro 4.0.1.
1038
1039* Documentation updates.
1040
1041Changes in 1.0.3:
1042
1043* aven: you can now select distances to be displayed in feet (or miles when
1044  you zoom right out) instead of metres, and angles to be in grads instead
1045  of degrees.
1046
1047* aven: show altitude of mouse pointer when in elevation view.
1048
1049* cad3d: fixed bug which caused --plt to crash on some platforms.
1050
1051* print*: added "Printing to `XXX'..." message to say where output is being
1052  written.
1053
1054* Updated French translation; minor updates to other translations (mostly
1055  sorting out clashing menu shortcuts in aven).
1056
1057* (Unix version): assorted portability tweaks.
1058
1059Changes in 1.0.2:
1060
1061* printdm/printpcl/printwin: take notice of font_size_labels setting in
1062  print.ini etc.
1063
1064* cavern: Topofil can now be used with DIVING and CYLPOLAR styles; TOPOFIL
1065  style is now synonymous with NORMAL.
1066
1067* cavern: *INFER EQUATES and *DATA TOPOFIL now work together correctly.
1068
1069* cavern: *FIX with 3 standard deviations but no covariances now works.
1070
1071* (MacOS X version): command line programs now build.  We're working on Aven.
1072
1073* Updates to the Catalan and Spanish translations.
1074
1075* xcaverot: documented environmental variables XCAVEROT_INDICATOR_RADIUS and
1076  XCAVEROT_FONTNAME.
1077
1078* cad3d: added --plt option to produce crude approximation to Compass .plt
1079  files - should be good enough for reading into Carto.
1080
1081* img library enhanced to allow Compass .plt files to be read as if they were
1082  .3d files.
1083
1084Changes in 1.0.1:
1085
1086* (MS Windows version): printwin: fixed sizes of cross and page alignment
1087  ticks.
1088
1089* Updates to the Portuguese and Italian translations.
1090
1091Changes in 1.0.0:
1092
1093* Fixed --survey option supported by many programs which was broken in 0.99.
1094
1095* aven: altered colours of "fixed points" and "entrances" buttons to match
1096  the coloured blobs used to indicate them.
1097
1098* (MS Windows version): aven: changed current point highlighting in the
1099  survey tree to use a light grey background rather than bold (bold causes
1100  the text to "wriggle" as the highlight runs up or down).
1101
1102* (MS Windows version): file icons now have transparent backgrounds.
1103
1104* survex: removed conversion wrapper - you should use "cavern file.svx"
1105  instead of "survex file.svx".
1106
1107* (Unix version): GCC 2.95 sometimes fails with an internal error when trying
1108  to compile gfxcore.cc - if it does, the Makefile will now try recompiling
1109  with a lower optimisation level.
1110
1111* (Unix version): when doing an "in directory" build from source, the HTML
1112  manual is now installed in its own subdirectory as when doing a non
1113  "in directory" build.
1114
1115* German translation now completely up-to-date.
