Last change on this file since 62781f4 was 796d7bf, checked in by Olly Betts <olly@…>, 20 years ago

Fix redrawing of measuring line. This only manifested on Windows (I suspect
wxGtk ignores the hint and redraws the whole window anyway).

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