1Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
2
3* aven:
4
5  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
6    controllable.
7
8  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
9
10  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
11    Patch from Robert Jones.
12
13  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
14    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
15    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
16
17* cavern:
18
19  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
20    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
21
22  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
23    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
24    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
25    go unnoticed.
26
27* survexport:
28
29  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
30    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
31    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
32
33  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
34    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
35    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
36    Stephen Crabtree.
37
38* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
39
40* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
41  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
42
43* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
44  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
45  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
46  therion's team command.
47
48Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
49
50* aven:
51
52  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
53
54  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
55    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
56    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
57    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
58    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
59    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
60    for new entrances.
61
62  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
63    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
64    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
65    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
66
67  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
68
69  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
70    to show via the right-click menu.
71
72  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
73    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
74    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
75    child surveys of the parent.
76
77  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
78    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
79    survey.
80
81  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
82    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
83
84  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
85
86  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
87    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
88
89  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
90    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
91    filtering this matters more).
92
93* survexport:
94
95  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
96    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
97
98  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
99
100* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
101
102* Minor translation updates.
103
104* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
105
106* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
107
108* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
109
110Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
111
112* aven:
113
114  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
115    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
116    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
117    on screen, printed and exported.
118
119  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
120    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
121    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
122    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
123    survey.
124
125  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
126    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
127    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
128    view.  Reported by Wookey.
129
130  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
131    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
132    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
133
134  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
135    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
136
137  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
138    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
139
140  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
141    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
142
143  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
144    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
145
146  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
147    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
148
149* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
150  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
151  tools could do, plus much more.
152
153* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
154
155* Minor updates to various other translations.
156
157* img library:
158
159  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
160
161  + Improve API documentation.
162
163* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
164  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
165  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
166
167* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
168  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
169  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
170  control what gets exported.
171
172Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
173
174* aven:
175
176  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
177    of 1.2.33.
178
179  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
180
181Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
182
183* aven:
184
185  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
186    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
187    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
188    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
189
190  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
191    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
192    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
193    Erin Lynch.
194
195  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
196    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
197    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
198
199  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
200    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
201    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
202    unnecessarily.
203
204  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
205    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
206    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
207    for this control).
208
209  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
210    under GTK3.
211
212  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
213    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
214    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
215
216  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
217    current development version).
218
219  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
220    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
221    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
222
223* cavern:
224
225  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
226    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
227    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
228    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
229    "19".
230
231* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
232  Evaristo Quiroga.
233
234* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
235
236* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
237  milosch.
238
239* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
240  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
241  translated messages.
242
243* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
244  Indonesian and Polish.
245
246* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
247  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
248  Reported by Martin Sluka.
249
250* Fix a few compiler warnings.
251
252* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
253  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
254  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
255
256* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
257
258  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
259    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
260    but happens to fail if it isn't.
261
262  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
263
264  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
265
266  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
267
268* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
269  detected at run time on macOS.
270
271* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
272  by the homebrew formula.
273
274* buildmacosx.sh:
275
276  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
277    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
278
279  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
280
281* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
282  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
283
284Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
285
286* aven:
287
288  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
289    and Anthony Day.
290
291  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
292    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
293    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
294    Erin Lynch in #89.
295
296  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
297    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
298    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
299    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
300    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
301    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
302    elevations.
303
304  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
305    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
306    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
307
308  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
309    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
310    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
311    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
312    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
313    "on".
314
315  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
316    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
317
318  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
319    the display wouldn't update right away.
320
321* Manual:
322
323  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
324
325  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
326
327* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
328  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
329  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
330  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
331  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
332
333Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
334
335* aven:
336
337  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
338    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
339    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
340
341  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
342    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
343    before by others.
344
345  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
346
347  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
348    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
349    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
350    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
351    original change.
352
353  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
354    which extends beyond the end of the line).
355
356  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
357    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
358
359  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
360
361  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
362
363  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
364    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
365    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
366    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
367    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
368    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
369    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
370
371  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
372    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
373
374  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
375    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
376    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
377
378  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
379    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
380    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
381    much vertical range.
382
383  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
384    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
385    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
386    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
387    are drawn in this way.
388
389  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
390    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
391    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
392    centre should be a single pixel.
393
394* cavern:
395
396  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
397    entering passage data where there are side passages.
398
399  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
400    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
401
402  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
403    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
404    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
405    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
406
407  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
408    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
409    Reported by Erin Lynch.
410
411  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
412    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
413    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
414    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
415
416  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
417    other messages.
418
419* extend:
420
421  + Now runs a bit faster.
422
423  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
424    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
425    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
426    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
427    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
428    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
429    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
430    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
431    be handled better) most welcome.
432
433* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
434
435* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
436
437* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
438  translations from therion.
439
440* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
441  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
442
443* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
444  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
445  Footleg.
446
447* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
448
449* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
450
451Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
452
453* aven:
454
455  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
456    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
457
458  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
459    Suggested by detrito.
460
461  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
462    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
463
464  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
465    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
466
467* Add man page for dump3d.
468
469Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
470
471* aven:
472
473  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
474    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
475
476  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
477    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
478
479* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
480  Lynch and "detrito".
481
482* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
483  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
484
485Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
486
487* cavern:
488
489  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
490    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
491    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
492    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
493    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
494
495  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
496
497  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
498
499  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
500    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
501    degrees).
502
503* aven:
504
505  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
506    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
507    Day.
508
509  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
510    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
511
512  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
513    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
514
515  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
516    of the line in cavern log window.
517
518  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
519
520  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
521
522  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
523    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
524    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
525    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
526    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
527
528  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
529    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
530    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
531
532  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
533
534  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
535
536  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
537    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
538    Atkinson and myself.
539
540  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
541
542  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
543    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
544    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
545    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
546    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
547    survey.
548
549  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
550    lines on my netbook.
551
552  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
553    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
554    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
555
556  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
557    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
558    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
559    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
560    glitches.
561
562  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
563    we currently list, though slower to write.
564
565  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
566    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
567
568  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
569    warnings when building against a recent version.
570
571  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
572    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
573    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
574    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
575
576  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
577    movie export.
578
579  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
580    export.
581
582* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
583  James Begley.
584
585* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
586  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
587
588* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
589
590* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
591  messages get used automatically.
592
593* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
594  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
595
596* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
597
598* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
599
600* Use https for more URLs which support it.
601
602Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
603
604* aven:
605
606  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
607    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
608    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
609    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
610    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
611    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
612    probably change in the future).
613
614  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
615    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
616    the survey tree root.
617
618  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
619    the view was recentred).
620
621  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
622    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
623    wrong direction).
624
625  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
626    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
627    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
628
629  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
630    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
631    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
632    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
633
634  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
635    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
636
637  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
638    addresses #60.
639
640  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
641
642  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
643    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
644    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
645
646  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
647
648  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
649    360 or down past 0.
650
651  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
652    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
653    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
654    real-valued ones.
655
656  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
657    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
658
659  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
660    Lynch.
661
662  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
663
664  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
665    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
666
667  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
668    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
669    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
670
671  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
672    should now work.
673
674* cavern:
675
676  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
677
678  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
679    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
680    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
681
682  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
683    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
684    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
685
686  + Fix check for end of version number array in *required.   We would check up
687    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
688    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
689    issue.
690
691  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
692    by patch from Colin Watson.
693
694  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
695
696* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
697
698* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
699  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
700
701* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
702  used in the same dataset.
703
704* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
705  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
706
707* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
708  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
709  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
710
711* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
712
713Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
714
715* aven:
716
717  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
718    cavern again.
719
720* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
721  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
722  location and use the same start menu folder.
723
724* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
725  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
726
727* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
728  by James Begley.
729
730Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
731
732* aven:
733
734  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
735    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
736    to address.
737
738  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
739    over the survey tree.
740
741  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
742
743  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
744    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
745
746  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
747    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
748    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
749    encoded.
750
751  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
752    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
753    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
754    terminals which do still support this.
755
756  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
757    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
758
759* cavern:
760
761  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
762    Edwards (see #78).
763
764  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
765    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
766    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
767    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
768
769  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
770    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
771    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
772
773  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
774    from Pete Smart (see #69).
775
776* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
777  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
778  Black.
779
780* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
781
782* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
783  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
784  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
785  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
786  Black.
787
788* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
789  Black.
790
791* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
792
793* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
794
795* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
796
797* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
798
799* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
800
801* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
802  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
803
804* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
805  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
806  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
807
808* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
809  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
810  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
811  privileges or not.
812
813Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
814
815* aven:
816
817  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
818    Clipstone.
819
820  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
821    Reported by Jenny Black.
822
823  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
824    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
825    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
826
827  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
828    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
829    messages.
830
831  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
832    the terminal in 1.2.23.
833
834* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
835  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
836
837* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
838
839* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
840  by Wookey.
841
842Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
843
844* aven:
845
846  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
847    machines.
848
849  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
850
851  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
852    already being processed.
853
854  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
855    Reported by Martin Green.
856
857  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
858
859* cavern:
860
861  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
862    find the original survey notes).
863
864  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
865    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
866    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
867    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
868    progress display to be useful.
869
870* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
871
872* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
873  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
874
875* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
876  running cavern.
877
878* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
879  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
880  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
881
882Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
883
884* aven:
885
886  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
887    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
888    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
889    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
890    finding this fix.
891
892* cavern:
893
894  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
895
896  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
897    station.
898
899  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
900    *export.
901
902Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
903
904* aven:
905
906  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
907    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
908    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
909
910  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
911
912  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
913    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
914    does.
915
916  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
917    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
918
919  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
920    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
921
922  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
923    as appropriate.
924
925  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
926    values on Windows.
927
928* cavern:
929
930  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
931    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
932    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
933
934  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
935    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
936
937  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
938    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
939    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
940    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
941
942  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
943    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
944    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
945    Atkinson.
946
947  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
948    actual error rather than on a separate line.
949
950  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
951    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
952    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
953    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
954
955  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
956    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
957    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
958
959* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
960  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
961  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
962  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
963
964* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
965
966* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
967  "*DECLINATION" command.
968
969* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
970  Reported by Jenny Black.
971
972* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
973  documentation.
974
975* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
976  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
977
978* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
979
980* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
981
982Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
983
984* aven:
985
986  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
987    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
988    the same or very similar by default.
989
990  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
991    Maynard.
992
993  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
994
995  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
996
997  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
998    away.
999
1000  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
1001
1002  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
1003    display it.
1004
1005* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
1006  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
1007  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
1008  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
1009
1010* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
1011
1012* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
1013  before 1.2.19.
1014
1015* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
1016  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
1017
1018* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
1019
1020* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
1021  disk image.
1022
1023* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
1024
1025* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
1026  libav features we don't use.
1027
1028* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
1029  a load of libav features we don't use.
1030
1031* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
1032  message in the installer.
1033
1034Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
1035
1036* aven:
1037
1038  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
1039    the exported file in 1.2.18.
1040
1041  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
1042
1043  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
1044    exit full screen mode.
1045
1046  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
1047    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
1048    using since 1.2.7).
1049
1050  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
1051    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
1052    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
1053    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
1054    St. Lawrence.
1055
1056  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
1057    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
1058
1059  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
1060    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
1061    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
1062
1063  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
1064    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
1065    case like we do on other platforms.
1066
1067  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
1068
1069  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
1070    support multi-monitor setups.
1071
1072  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
1073    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
1074
1075  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
1076    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
1077
1078  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
1079    cases.
1080
1081  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
1082    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
1083    Erin Lynch)
1084
1085  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
1086    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
1087    items in in so it uses the full width.
1088
1089  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
1090    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
1091    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
1092    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
1093    window.
1094
1095  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
1096    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
1097    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
1098    only relevant on the first ever run.
1099
1100* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
1101
1102* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
1103  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
1104  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
1105  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
1106  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
1107  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
1108
1109* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
1110  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
1111
1112Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
1113
1114* aven:
1115
1116  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
1117    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
1118    rendering it as a transparent surface.
1119
1120  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
1121    sanely want to perform from the menu.
1122
1123  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
1124    colouring options.
1125
1126  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
1127
1128  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
1129    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
1130    pressing "Escape".
1131
1132  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
1133    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
1134
1135  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
1136    exporting.
1137
1138  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
1139
1140  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
1141    is quite likely to change.
1142
1143  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
1144    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
1145
1146  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
1147    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
1148    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
1149
1150  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
1151
1152  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
1153    markers in orange.
1154
1155  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
1156    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
1157
1158  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
1159    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
1160    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
1161    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
1162    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
1163    them would be better.
1164
1165  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
1166    Gee.
1167
1168  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
1169    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
1170    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
1171
1172  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
1173
1174* cavern:
1175
1176  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
1177    susscorfa).
1178
1179  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
1180    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
1181
1182  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
1183
1184  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
1185    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
1186
1187  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
1188    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
1189
1190* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
1191
1192* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
1193  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
1194  in a modern desktop.
1195
1196* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
1197  the filename in the error message.
1198
1199* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
1200  most complete translations.
1201
1202* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
1203
1204* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
1205  lacks them.
1206
1207* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
1208
1209* Manual:
1210
1211  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
1212    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
1213
1214  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
1215
1216  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
1217
1218  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
1219    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
1220    available for download.
1221
1222* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
1223  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
1224  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
1225
1226* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1227
1228* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
1229
1230Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
1231
1232* MacOS X version:
1233
1234  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
1235
1236  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
1237
1238  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
1239
1240  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
1241
1242  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
1243    currently do this for us.
1244
1245  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
1246
1247  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
1248
1249  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
1250
1251  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
1252    OS X cursor.
1253
1254  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
1255    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
1256    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
1257    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
1258    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
1259    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
1260    with TextEdit.app for example).
1261
1262  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
1263    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
1264
1265  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
1266
1267  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
1268    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
1269
1270  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
1271    Riggs.
1272
1273  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
1274    space.
1275
1276  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
1277
1278  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
1279    10.10.1.
1280
1281  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
1282    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
1283    errors.
1284
1285  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
1286    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
1287    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
1288    wxWidgets build supports by default.
1289
1290  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
1291
1292* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
1293  treat as a single leg.
1294
1295* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
1296
1297* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
1298
1299* aven:
1300
1301  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
1302    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
1303
1304  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
1305    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
1306    1:500).
1307
1308  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
1309    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
1310    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
1311    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
1312
1313  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
1314    there rather than the two animations fighting.
1315
1316  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
1317    fast.
1318
1319  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
1320    when rotating).
1321
1322  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
1323    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
1324
1325* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
1326  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
1327
1328* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
1329
1330* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
1331
1332* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
1333
1334* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
1335
1336* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
1337  we're using git.
1338
1339* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
1340
1341  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
1342    compass.
1343
1344  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
1345
1346  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
1347
1348Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
1349
1350* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
1351
1352* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
1353
1354* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
1355
1356* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
1357  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
1358
1359* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
1360
1361* tests/: Improve test coverage.
1362
1363* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
1364  Greek and Polish.
1365
1366* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
1367  by Martin Sluka.
1368
1369* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
1370  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1371
1372Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
1373
1374* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
1375  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
1376  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
1377  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
1378  for *cs has also been improved.
1379
1380* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
1381  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
1382  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
1383  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
1384
1385* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
1386  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
1387  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
1388  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
1389  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
1390
1391* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
1392  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
1393  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
1394
1395* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
1396
1397* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
1398
1399* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
1400  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
1401  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
1402
1403* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
1404  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
1405
1406Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
1407
1408* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
1409  system in use in 3d v8 files.
1410
1411* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
1412  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
1413  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
1414  export dialog.
1415
1416* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
1417  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
1418  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
1419  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
1420  rather than having one corner there.
1421
1422* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
1423  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
1424
1425* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
1426  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
1427
1428* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
1429  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
1430  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
1431
1432* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
1433  such as 64-bit Linux.
1434
1435* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
1436  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
1437
1438* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
1439  64-bit platforms.
1440
1441* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
1442  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
1443  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
1444
1445* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
1446  the space available in the aven UI.
1447
1448* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
1449  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
1450  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
1451
1452* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
1453  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
1454
1455* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
1456  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
1457  about unconnected surveys.
1458
1459* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
1460  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
1461
1462* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
1463  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
1464  freed memory.
1465
1466* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
1467
1468* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
1469
1470* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
1471
1472* Fix a compiler warning.
1473
1474* Improve test coverage.
1475
1476Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
1477
1478* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
1479  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
1480  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
1481
1482* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
1483  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
1484  Hugh St Lawrence.
1485
1486* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
1487  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
1488  with using aven on a touch screen device.
1489
1490* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
1491  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
1492
1493* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
1494  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
1495
1496* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
1497  off and back on.
1498
1499* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
1500  up time a little.
1501
1502* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
1503  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
1504
1505* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
1506  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
1507  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
1508  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
1509  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
1510  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
1511  situation too.
1512
1513* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
1514  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
1515  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
1516
1517* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
1518
1519* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
1520
1521* Minor translation updates to French.
1522
1523* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
1524
1525* Testsuite improvements:
1526
1527  + Test that "..." anon station works.
1528
1529  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
1530    fail and give an error count.
1531
1532  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
1533
1534Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
1535
1536* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
1537  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
1538  Clipstone.
1539
1540* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
1541
1542* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
1543
1544  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
1545    overlap the scale bar ticks.
1546
1547  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
1548    clipping the border in print preview.
1549
1550  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
1551
1552* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
1553  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
1554
1555* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
1556  available.
1557
1558* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
1559
1560* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
1561
1562* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
1563  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
1564
1565* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
1566  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
1567
1568* Various translation updates.
1569
1570Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
1571
1572* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
1573  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
1574
1575* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
1576  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
1577  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
1578  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
1579
1580* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
1581  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
1582
1583* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
1584  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
1585
1586* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
1587  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
1588
1589* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
1590  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1591
1592* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
1593  box".
1594
1595* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
1596
1597* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
1598  indicators.
1599
1600* aven: All length units are now translatable.
1601
1602* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
1603  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
1604  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
1605
1606* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
1607  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
1608  measurably slower.
1609
1610* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
1611  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
1612
1613* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
1614  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
1615
1616* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
1617  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
1618  from Therion and elsewhere.
1619
1620* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
1621  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
1622  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
1623
1624* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
1625  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
1626
1627* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
1628  A. Riggs for his work on this.
1629
1630* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
1631  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
1632
1633* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
1634
1635* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
1636  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
1637  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
1638  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
1639  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
1640  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1641
1642* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
1643
1644Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
1645
1646* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
1647  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
1648  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
1649  Clipstone.
1650
1651* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
1652  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
1653
1654* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
1655  exported SVG files.
1656
1657* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
1658
1659* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
1660  file.
1661
1662* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
1663  GPX files.
1664
1665* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
1666
1667* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
1668  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
1669
1670* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
1671  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
1672  on startup.
1673
1674* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
1675
1676* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
1677  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
1678  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
1679  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
1680  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
1681  other extensions.
1682
1683* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
1684  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
1685  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
1686  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
1687  timezone wrong.
1688
1689* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
1690
1691* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
1692  'SURVEY DATE:'.
1693
1694* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
1695
1696* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
1697
1698* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
1699  enabled.
1700
1701Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
1702
1703* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
1704
1705* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
1706
1707* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
1708
1709* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
1710  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
1711  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
1712
1713* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
1714  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
1715  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
1716
1717* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
1718  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
1719
1720* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
1721
1722* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
1723
1724* Fix some compiler warnings.
1725
1726Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
1727
1728* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
1729  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
1730  Holder.
1731
1732* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
1733  statistics when the value gets large.
1734
1735* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
1736  equations.
1737
1738* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
1739  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
1740  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
1741  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
1742  better when the "View" box is hidden.
1743
1744* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
1745  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1746
1747* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
1748  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
1749  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
1750  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
1751  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
1752  way is coming soon.
1753
1754* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
1755  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
1756
1757* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
1758  time ago, so update references.
1759
1760* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
1761  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1762
1763* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
1764  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
1765
1766* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
1767  Sebastian Ramacher.
1768
1769* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
1770
1771* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
1772
1773* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
1774
1775* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
1776
1777* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
1778
1779* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
1780  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
1781  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
1782
1783* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
1784
1785* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
1786
1787* img library:
1788
1789  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
1790    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
1791    reading).
1792
1793  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
1794    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
1795
1796  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
1797    support these as an extension.
1798
1799  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
1800
1801* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
1802  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
1803  itself has any translations for.
1804
1805* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
1806
1807* Minor translation updates.
1808
1809* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
1810
1811Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
1812
1813* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
1814  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
1815  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
1816  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
1817  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
1818  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
1819  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
1820  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
1821
1822* New version 8 of the 3d format:
1823
1824  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
1825
1826  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
1827    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
1828
1829  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
1830    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
1831
1832  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
1833
1834  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
1835    human-readable string.
1836
1837  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
1838    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
1839
1840* img library:
1841
1842  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
1843
1844  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
1845    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
1846
1847  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
1848    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
1849    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
1850    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
1851    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
1852    explicitly in the file.
1853
1854  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
1855
1856* aven:
1857
1858  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
1859    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
1860    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
1861    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
1862    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
1863    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
1864
1865  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
1866    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
1867    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
1868    queued up.
1869
1870  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
1871    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
1872
1873  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
1874    them like other legs.
1875
1876  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
1877    station names to positions.
1878
1879  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
1880    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
1881    wrongly.
1882
1883  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
1884
1885  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
1886    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
1887    that's used by the desktop).
1888
1889  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
1890
1891  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
1892    error from cavern.
1893
1894  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
1895
1896  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
1897    in the dialog in sync.
1898
1899* cavern:
1900
1901  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
1902    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
1903    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
1904
1905  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
1906    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
1907
1908  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
1909    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
1910    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
1911    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
1912    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
1913    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
1914    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
1915    degrees.
1916
1917  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
1918    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
1919    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
1920
1921  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
1922
1923  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
1924    warnings.
1925
1926  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
1927    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
1928
1929  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
1930    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
1931
1932  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
1933    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
1934    relevant.
1935
1936  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
1937    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
1938    the same line.
1939
1940  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
1941    "End of line not blank" error.
1942
1943  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
1944    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
1945
1946  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
1947    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
1948
1949  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
1950    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
1951    include that character in the token reported.
1952
1953  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
1954    first item.
1955
1956* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
1957
1958* dump3d:
1959
1960  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
1961    info from 3d files in scripts.
1962
1963  + Add --show-dates option.
1964
1965  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
1966
1967  + Report the data style of legs.
1968
1969  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
1970
1971  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
1972
1973* Test suite:
1974
1975  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
1976    expected output so it passes reliably.
1977
1978  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
1979    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
1980
1981  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
1982    for more.
1983
1984* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
1985  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
1986  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
1987
1988* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
1989  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
1990
1991* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
1992  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
1993
1994* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
1995  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
1996  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
1997  settings.
1998
1999* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
2000  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
2001  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
2002  set correctly.
2003
2004* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
2005  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
2006  them to translate.
2007
2008* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
2009  close to complete.
2010
2011* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
2012
2013* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
2014
2015* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
2016
2017Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
2018
2019* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
2020
2021* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
2022  package (ticket#35).
2023
2024* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
2025  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
2026  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
2027
2028* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
2029  Kahler.
2030
2031* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
2032  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
2033  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
2034  libproj and build survex with:
2035
2036      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
2037      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
2038
2039* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
2040
2041* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
2042
2043* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
2044  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
2045  file".
2046
2047Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
2048
2049* aven:
2050
2051  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
2052
2053  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
2054    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
2055
2056  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
2057
2058  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
2059
2060  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
2061    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
2062
2063* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
2064  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
2065  error early on).
2066
2067* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
2068  the man page source as well as in the filename.
2069
2070Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
2071
2072* aven:
2073
2074  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
2075    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
2076    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
2077    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
2078
2079  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
2080    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
2081
2082  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
2083
2084  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
2085
2086  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
2087
2088* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
2089
2090Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
2091
2092* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
2093
2094* (Mac OS X version):
2095
2096  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
2097
2098  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
2099
2100  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
2101    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
2102
2103  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
2104
2105* aven:
2106
2107  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
2108
2109  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
2110
2111    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
2112      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
2113      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
2114      character.
2115
2116    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
2117      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
2118      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
2119      and two in a few cases.
2120
2121    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
2122      8 pixels.
2123
2124  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
2125    draw crosses.
2126
2127  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
2128    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
2129    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
2130    is the start or end of a tube.
2131
2132  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
2133    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
2134
2135  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
2136    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
2137    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
2138
2139* extend:
2140
2141  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
2142
2143  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
2144    which means "no info").
2145
2146* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
2147  was no longer used - it certainly is!
2148
2149* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
2150  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
2151  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
2152  current character set.
2153
2154* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
2155
2156* Test suite:
2157
2158  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
2159
2160  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
2161
2162Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
2163
2164* aven:
2165
2166  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
2167    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
2168    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
2169    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
2170    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
2171    usable format.
2172
2173  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
2174    files.  (ticket#26)
2175
2176  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
2177    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
2178
2179  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
2180    using lines.
2181
2182  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
2183    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
2184
2185  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
2186    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
2187    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
2188    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
2189
2190  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
2191    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
2192    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
2193
2194  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
2195    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
2196    in 1.2.1.
2197
2198Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
2199
2200* Translation updates for US English.
2201
2202* aven:
2203
2204  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
2205    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
2206
2207  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
2208
2209  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
2210    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
2211    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
2212    visually similar to the survey legs.
2213
2214  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
2215    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
2216
2217  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
2218    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
2219    does still provide some useful information).
2220
2221  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
2222    a depth band boundary.
2223
2224  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
2225    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
2226    full-screen mode).
2227
2228  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
2229    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
2230    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
2231    are a little better, though still not perfect.
2232
2233  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
2234    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
2235
2236  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
2237    that station.
2238
2239  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
2240    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
2241
2242  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
2243    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
2244    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
2245    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
2246    a case as it is a bug).
2247
2248  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
2249    invalidated on window width or height changes.
2250
2251  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
2252    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
2253    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
2254    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
2255
2256  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
2257    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
2258    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
2259    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
2260    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
2261    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
2262    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
2263
2264  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
2265    similarly for other compass points.
2266
2267  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
2268    info in the "About" dialog.
2269
2270  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
2271    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
2272
2273  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
2274    as well as still working with older versions.
2275
2276  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
2277    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
2278
2279  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
2280    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
2281    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
2282    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
2283    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
2284
2285  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
2286    nicer and make better use of the available space.
2287
2288  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
2289    dialog.
2290
2291  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
2292    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
2293
2294  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
2295    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
2296
2297  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
2298
2299  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
2300
2301  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
2302    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
2303    being pressed and toggle full screen.
2304
2305* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
2306  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
2307
2308* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
2309
2310* More messages are now available to be translated.
2311
2312* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
2313  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
2314
2315* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
2316
2317* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
2318  sudo for installing on Unix.
2319
2320* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
2321  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
2322
2323* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
2324  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
2325
2326* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2327
2328Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
2329
2330* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
2331  English.
2332
2333* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
2334  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
2335  case.
2336
2337* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
2338  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
2339  these into Survex's .msg format.
2340
2341* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
2342  an actual command).
2343
2344* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
2345  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
2346  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
2347  recurrence of that).
2348
2349* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
2350  than /usr/doc/survex.
2351
2352* aven:
2353
2354  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
2355
2356  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
2357    nicer at larger sizes.
2358
2359  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
2360    with GLX >= 1.3.
2361
2362  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
2363
2364  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
2365    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
2366    required libraries set up for building releases.
2367
2368  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
2369
2370  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
2371
2372  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
2373    rendered with icons on some platforms.
2374
2375  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
2376    ISO8859-1).
2377
2378  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
2379    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
2380
2381  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
2382    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
2383
2384* cavern:
2385
2386  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
2387    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
2388    fatal error!
2389
2390  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
2391    format to output.  (ticket#21)
2392
2393* img library:
2394
2395  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
2396    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
2397
2398* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
2399  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
2400
2401Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
2402
2403* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
2404  Portuguese, and US English.
2405
2406* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
2407  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
2408
2409* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
2410  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
2411
2412* img.c:
2413
2414  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
2415
2416  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
2417
2418* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
2419
2420* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
2421  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
2422  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
2423  translated.
2424
2425Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
2426
2427* aven:
2428
2429  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
2430    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
2431
2432  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
2433    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
2434    addresses ticket#12.
2435
2436  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
2437    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
2438    consistent shape.
2439
2440  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
2441    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
2442    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
2443    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
2444
2445  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
2446    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
2447
2448  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
2449
2450  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
2451    more places.
2452
2453  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
2454    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
2455
2456* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
2457
2458* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
2459  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
2460
2461* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
2462
2463* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
2464  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
2465  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
2466  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
2467  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
2468  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
2469
2470* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
2471  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
2472  redirecting to it.
2473
2474* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
2475  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
2476  I/O).
2477
2478* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
2479  headers.
2480
2481* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
2482
2483* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
2484  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
2485
2486* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
2487
2488Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
2489
2490* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
2491
2492* aven:
2493
2494  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
2495    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
2496    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
2497    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
2498
2499  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
2500
2501  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
2502    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
2503    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
2504    a number.
2505
2506  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
2507    log window.
2508
2509  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
2510    various cases.
2511
2512  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
2513    (ticket#9)
2514
2515  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
2516    namespace with its own "Point" class.
2517
2518  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
2519    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
2520
2521  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
2522
2523  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
2524    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
2525
2526* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
2527  give them before.
2528
2529* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
2530  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
2531  point looking for them now.
2532
2533* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
2534  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
2535  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
2536  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
2537
2538* manual:
2539
2540  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
2541
2542  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
2543    (change taken from 1.0).
2544
2545* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
2546
2547Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
2548
2549* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
2550
2551* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
2552
2553* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
2554
2555* aven:
2556
2557  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
2558
2559  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
2560    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
2561    seem to be Unicode now).
2562
2563  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
2564    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
2565
2566  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
2567    text on the survey pane:
2568
2569    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
2570
2571    - Character spacing is improved.
2572
2573    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
2574
2575  + "About" dialog:
2576
2577    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
2578      bug reporting.
2579
2580    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
2581      modern gfx card.
2582
2583    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
2584
2585  + Processing .svx files:
2586
2587    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
2588
2589    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
2590      than opening a separate frame for it.
2591
2592    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
2593
2594    - Fix small memory leak.
2595
2596  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
2597    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
2598    such a name.
2599
2600  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
2601
2602  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
2603    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
2604    invocations.
2605
2606  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
2607
2608  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
2609
2610  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
2611
2612* Documentation:
2613
2614  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
2615
2616  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
2617    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
2618    together isn't very useful.
2619
2620  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
2621
2622  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
2623    the FSF website.
2624
2625  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
2626    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
2627    the source code.
2628
2629* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
2630  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
2631
2632* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
2633  package from the source tarball.
2634
2635* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
2636  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
2637
2638Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
2639
2640* aven:
2641
2642  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
2643
2644  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
2645
2646  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
2647    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
2648    names/crosses).
2649
2650Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
2651
2652* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
2653
2654* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
2655
2656* aven:
2657
2658  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
2659
2660  + Fix character spacing.
2661
2662  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
2663    proportional fonts.
2664
2665  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
2666    rather than the filename.
2667
2668  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
2669
2670  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
2671    depth colouring.
2672
2673  + Add "Colour by Error".
2674
2675  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
2676
2677  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
2678
2679  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
2680
2681  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
2682
2683  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
2684
2685  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
2686
2687  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
2688
2689  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
2690    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
2691
2692  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
2693
2694  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
2695    default.
2696
2697* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
2698  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
2699
2700* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
2701  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
2702
2703* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
2704
2705* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
2706
2707Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
2708
2709* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
2710  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
2711  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
2712  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
2713  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
2714
2715* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
2716  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
2717  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
2718
2719* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
2720  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
2721  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
2722
2723* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
2724  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
2725  allowed).
2726
2727* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
2728
2729* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
2730
2731* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
2732
2733Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
2734
2735* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
2736  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
2737
2738* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
2739  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
2740  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
2741
2742* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
2743  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
2744  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
2745  the new "*data passage" style.
2746
2747* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
2748  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
2749
2750* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
2751  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
2752  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
2753  some cases.
2754
2755* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
2756  with no survey loaded.
2757
2758* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
2759
2760* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
2761  loaded a survey.
2762
2763* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
2764
2765* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
2766
2767* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
2768  doesn't exist.
2769
2770* Updated French and Italian translations.
2771
2772* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
2773  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
2774
2775* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
2776  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
2777  update their copy).
2778
2779* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
2780  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
2781  trying to compile).
2782
2783Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
2784
2785* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
2786  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
2787
2788* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
2789  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
2790  has been disabled.
2791
2792* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
2793  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
2794  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
2795  time.
2796
2797* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
2798  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
2799  highlighted stations.
2800
2801* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
2802
2803* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
2804  the tilt from plan to elevation.
2805
2806* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
2807  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
2808
2809* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
2810  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
2811  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
2812
2813* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
2814  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
2815
2816* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
2817
2818* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
2819
2820* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
2821
2822* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
2823  run by an unprivileged user.
2824
2825* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
2826  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
2827  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
2828
2829* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
2830  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
2831
2832* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
2833
2834* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
2835  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
2836
2837* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
2838  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
2839
2840* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
2841  if it isn't.
2842
2843* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
2844  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
2845
2846* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
2847  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
2848
2849* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
2850  reset to default view as well).
2851
2852* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
2853  empty.
2854
2855* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
2856  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
2857
2858* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
2859  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
2860  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
2861
2862* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
2863  and non-zero width lines.
2864
2865* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
2866  was turned on.
2867
2868* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
2869  not always being fully written.
2870
2871Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
2872
2873* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
2874  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
2875  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
2876  date near the middle of that period).
2877
2878* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
2879  with MS Windows).
2880
2881* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
2882  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
2883  several surveys in the same directory).
2884
2885* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
2886  our check for them to include that knowledge.
2887
2888* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
2889
2890* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
2891  moved off a station.
2892
2893* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
2894  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
2895
2896* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
2897
2898* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
2899  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
2900
2901* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
2902  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
2903  dialogs.
2904
2905* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
2906  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
2907
2908* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
2909  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
2910  introduced in 1.1.6).
2911
2912* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
2913  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
2914  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
2915
2916* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
2917  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
2918
2919* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
2920
2921* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
2922
2923Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
2924
2925* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
2926  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
2927
2928* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
2929  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
2930  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
2931  3d file.
2932
2933* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
2934
2935* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
2936
2937* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
2938  Instead turn off depth colouring.
2939
2940* aven: Export as HPGL added.
2941
2942* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
2943  Martin Green).
2944
2945* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
2946  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
2947  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
2948
2949* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
2950
2951* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
2952  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
2953
2954* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
2955  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
2956  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
2957  of everything else.
2958
2959* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
2960  presentation icons.
2961
2962* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
2963  keyboard focus there.
2964
2965* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
2966
2967* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
2968
2969* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
2970
2971* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
2972
2973* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
2974  language to use for messages.
2975
2976* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
2977  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
2978
2979* Removed old printer drivers.
2980
2981* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
2982  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
2983
2984Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
2985
2986* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
2987
2988* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
2989
2990* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
2991  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
2992
2993* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
2994  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
2995
2996* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
2997
2998* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
2999  underground legs is toggled.
3000
3001* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
3002  attached to the previous data.
3003
3004* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
3005  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
3006  them.
3007
3008Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
3009
3010* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
3011
3012* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
3013  continental European countries).
3014
3015* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
3016  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
3017  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
3018
3019* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
3020
3021* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
3022  they're needed.
3023
3024* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
3025
3026* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
3027
3028* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
3029
3030* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
3031  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
3032  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
3033
3034* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
3035
3036Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
3037
3038* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
3039
3040* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
3041
3042* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
3043
3044* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
3045
3046* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
3047
3048* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
3049
3050* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
3051  when there's a presentation loaded.
3052
3053* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
3054  in cave view.
3055
3056* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
3057
3058* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
3059  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
3060  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
3061
3062* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
3063  filename for file history and window title.
3064
3065* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
3066  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
3067  only needed with GTK1.2.
3068
3069* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
3070
3071* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
3072
3073* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
3074
3075* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
3076
3077Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
3078
3079* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
3080  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
3081  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
3082
3083* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
3084  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
3085
3086* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
3087  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
3088  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
3089  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
3090
3091* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
3092
3093* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
3094  with --help and --version.
3095
3096* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
3097  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
3098  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
3099  Fixed all these problems.
3100
3101* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
3102  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
3103  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
3104
3105* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
3106  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
3107  sources.
3108
3109* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
3110
3111* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
3112
3113* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
3114  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
3115
3116* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
3117  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
3118  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
3119  animating.
3120
3121* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
3122
3123* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
3124
3125* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
3126  to this branch.
3127
3128* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
3129
3130  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
3131
3132  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
3133
3134  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
3135
3136* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
3137
3138* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
3139  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
3140
3141* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
3142
3143* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
3144  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
3145
3146* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
3147
3148* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
3149  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
3150  for anyone building from CVS).
3151
3152* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
3153
3154* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
3155
3156* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
3157
3158* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
3159
3160* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
3161  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
3162  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
3163
3164* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
3165  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
3166
3167* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
3168
3169* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
3170  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
3171  loaded).
3172
3173* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
3174
3175Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
3176
3177* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
3178  startup.
3179
3180* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
3181  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
3182
3183Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
3184
3185* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
3186  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
3187  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
3188
3189* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
3190  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
3191  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
3192
3193* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
3194  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
3195  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
3196
3197* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
3198
3199* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
3200  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
3201
3202* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
3203  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
3204
3205* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
3206  better use of screen space.
3207
3208* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
3209
3210* aven: Perspective view.
3211
3212* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
3213
3214* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
3215  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
3216
3217* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
3218  and load/save/run them.
3219
3220* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
3221
3222* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
3223
3224* aven: Depth fogging option.
3225
3226* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
3227
3228* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
3229
3230* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
3231  showing the surface legs.
3232
3233* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
