1Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
2
3* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
4  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
5  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
6  Clipstone.
7
8* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
9  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
10
11* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
12  exported SVG files.
13
14* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
15
16* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
17  file.
18
19* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
20  GPX files.
21
22* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
23
24* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
25  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
26
27* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
28  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
29  on startup.
30
31* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
32
33* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
34  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
35  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
36  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
37  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
38  other extensions.
39
40* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
41  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
42  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
43  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
44  timezone wrong.
45
46* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
47
48* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
49  'SURVEY DATE:'.
50
51* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
52
53* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
54
55* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
56  enabled.
57
58Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
59
60* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
61
62* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
63
64* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
65
66* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
67  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
68  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
69
70* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
71  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
72  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
73
74* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
75  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
76
77* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
78
79* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
80
81* Fix some compiler warnings.
82
83Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
84
85* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
86  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
87  Holder.
88
89* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
90  statistics when the value gets large.
91
92* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
93  equations.
94
95* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
96  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
97  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
98  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
99  better when the "View" box is hidden.
100
101* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
102  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
103
104* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
105  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
106  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
107  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
108  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
109  way is coming soon.
110
111* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
112  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
113
114* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
115  time ago, so update references.
116
117* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
118  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
119
120* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
121  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
122
123* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
124  Sebastian Ramacher.
125
126* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
127
128* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
129
130* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
131
132* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
133
134* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
135
136* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
137  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
138  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
139
140* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
141
142* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
143
144* img library:
145
146  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
147    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
148    reading).
149
150  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
151    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
152
153  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
154    support these as an extension.
155
156  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
157
158* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
159  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
160  itself has any translations for.
161
162* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
163
164* Minor translation updates.
165
166* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
167
168Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
169
170* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
171  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
172  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
173  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
174  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
175  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
176  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
177  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
178
179* New version 8 of the 3d format:
180
181  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
182
183  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
184    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
185
186  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
187    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
188
189  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
190
191  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
192    human-readable string.
193
194  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
195    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
196
197* img library:
198
199  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
200
201  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
202    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
203
204  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
205    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
206    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
207    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
208    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
209    explicitly in the file.
210
211  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
212
213* aven:
214
215  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
216    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
217    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
218    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
219    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
220    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
221
222  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
223    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
224    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
225    queued up.
226
227  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
228    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
229
230  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
231    them like other legs.
232
233  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
234    station names to positions.
235
236  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
237    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
238    wrongly.
239
240  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
241
242  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
243    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
244    that's used by the desktop).
245
246  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
247
248  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
249    error from cavern.
250
251  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
252
253  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
254    in the dialog in sync.
255
256* cavern:
257
258  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
259    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
260    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
261
262  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
263    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
264
265  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
266    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
267    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
268    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
269    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
270    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
271    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
272    degrees.
273
274  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
275    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
276    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
277
278  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
279
280  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
281    warnings.
282
283  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
284    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
285
286  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
287    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
288
289  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
290    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
291    relevant.
292
293  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
294    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
295    the same line.
296
297  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
298    "End of line not blank" error.
299
300  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
301    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
302
303  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
304    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
305
306  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
307    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
308    include that character in the token reported.
309
310  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
311    first item.
312
313* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
314
315* dump3d:
316
317  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
318    info from 3d files in scripts.
319
320  + Add --show-dates option.
321
322  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
323
324  + Report the data style of legs.
325
326  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
327
328  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
329
330* Test suite:
331
332  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
333    expected output so it passes reliably.
334
335  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
336    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
337
338  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
339    for more.
340
341* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
342  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
343  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
344
345* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
346  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
347
348* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
349  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
350
351* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
352  with SURVEX_LANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
353  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
354  settings.
355
356* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
357  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
358  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
359  set correctly.
360
361* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
362  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
363  them to translate.
364
365* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
366  close to complete.
367
368* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
369
370* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
371
372* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
373
374Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
375
376* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
377
378* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
379  package (ticket#35).
380
381* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
382  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
383  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
384
385* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
386  Kahler.
387
388* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
389  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
390  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
391  libproj and build survex with:
392
393      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
394      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
395
396* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
397
398* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
399
400* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
401  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
402  file".
403
404Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
405
406* aven:
407
408  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
409
410  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
411    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
412
413  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
414
415  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
416
417  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
418    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
419
420* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
421  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
422  error early on).
423
424* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
425  the man page source as well as in the filename.
426
427Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
428
429* aven:
430
431  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
432    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
433    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
434    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
435
436  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
437    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
438
439  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
440
441  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
442
443  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
444
445* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
446
447Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
448
449* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
450
451* (Mac OS X version):
452
453  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
454
455  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
456
457  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
458    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
459
460  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
461
462* aven:
463
464  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
465
466  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
467
468    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
469      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
470      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
471      character.
472
473    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
474      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
475      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
476      and two in a few cases.
477
478    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
479      8 pixels.
480
481  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
482    draw crosses.
483
484  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
485    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
486    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
487    is the start or end of a tube.
488
489  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
490    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
491
492  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
493    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
494    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
495
496* extend:
497
498  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
499
500  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
501    which means "no info").
502
503* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
504  was no longer used - it certainly is!
505
506* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
507  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
508  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
509  current character set.
510
511* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
512
513* Test suite:
514
515  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
516
517  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
518
519Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
520
521* aven:
522
523  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
524    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
525    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
526    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
527    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
528    usable format.
529
530  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
531    files.  (ticket#26)
532
533  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
534    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
535
536  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
537    using lines.
538
539  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
540    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
541
542  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
543    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
544    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
545    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
546
547  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
548    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
549    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
550
551  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
552    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
553    in 1.2.1.
554
555Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
556
557* Translation updates for US English.
558
559* aven:
560
561  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
562    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
563
564  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
565
566  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
567    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
568    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
569    visually similar to the survey legs.
570
571  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
572    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
573
574  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
575    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
576    does still provide some useful information).
577
578  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
579    a depth band boundary.
580
581  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
582    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
583    full-screen mode).
584
585  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
586    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
587    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
588    are a little better, though still not perfect.
589
590  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
591    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
592
593  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
594    that station.
595
596  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
597    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
598
599  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
600    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
601    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
602    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
603    a case as it is a bug).
604
605  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
606    invalidated on window width or height changes.
607
608  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
609    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
610    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
611    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
612
613  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
614    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
615    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
616    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
617    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
618    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
619    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
620
621  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
622    similarly for other compass points.
623
624  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
625    info in the "About" dialog.
626
627  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
628    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
629
630  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
631    as well as still working with older versions.
632
633  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
634    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
635
636  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
637    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
638    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
639    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
640    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
641
642  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
643    nicer and make better use of the available space.
644
645  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
646    dialog.
647
648  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
649    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
650
651  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
652    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
653
654  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
655
656  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
657
658  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
659    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
660    being pressed and toggle full screen.
661
662* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
663  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
664
665* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
666
667* More messages are now available to be translated.
668
669* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
670  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
671
672* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
673
674* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
675  sudo for installing on Unix.
676
677* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
678  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
679
680* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
681  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
682
683* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
684
685Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
686
687* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
688  English.
689
690* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
691  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
692  case.
693
694* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
695  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
696  these into Survex's .msg format.
697
698* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
699  an actual command).
700
701* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
702  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
703  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
704  recurrence of that).
705
706* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
707  than /usr/doc/survex.
708
709* aven:
710
711  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
712
713  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
714    nicer at larger sizes.
715
716  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
717    with GLX >= 1.3.
718
719  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
720
721  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
722    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
723    required libraries set up for building releases.
724
725  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
726
727  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
728
729  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
730    rendered with icons on some platforms.
731
732  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
733    ISO8859-1).
734
735  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
736    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
737
738  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
739    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
740
741* cavern:
742
743  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
744    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
745    fatal error!
746
747  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
748    format to output.  (ticket#21)
749
750* img library:
751
752  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
753    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
754
755* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
756  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
757
758Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
759
760* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
761  Portuguese, and US English.
762
763* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
764  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
765
766* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
767  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
768
769* img.c:
770
771  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
772
773  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
774
775* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
776
777* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
778  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
779  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
780  translated.
781
782Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
783
784* aven:
785
786  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
787    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
788
789  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
790    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
791    addresses ticket#12.
792
793  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
794    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
795    consistent shape.
796
797  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
798    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
799    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
800    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
801
802  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
803    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
804
805  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
806
807  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
808    more places.
809
810  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
811    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
812
813* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
814
815* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
816  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
817
818* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
819
820* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
821  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
822  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
823  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
824  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
825  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
826
827* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
828  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
829  redirecting to it.
830
831* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
832  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
833  I/O).
834
835* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
836  headers.
837
838* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
839
840* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
841  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
842
843* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
844
845Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
846
847* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
848
849* aven:
850
851  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
852    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
853    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
854    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
855
856  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
857
858  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
859    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
860    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
861    a number.
862
863  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
864    log window.
865
866  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
867    various cases.
868
869  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
870    (ticket#9)
871
872  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
873    namespace with its own "Point" class.
874
875  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
876    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
877
878  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
879
880  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
881    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
882
883* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
884  give them before.
885
886* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
887  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
888  point looking for them now.
889
890* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
891  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
892  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
893  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
894
895* manual:
896
897  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
898
899  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
900    (change taken from 1.0).
901
902* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
903
904Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
905
906* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
907
908* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
909
910* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
911
912* aven:
913
914  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
915
916  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
917    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
918    seem to be Unicode now).
919
920  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
921    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
922
923  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
924    text on the survey pane:
925
926    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
927
928    - Character spacing is improved.
929
930    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
931
932  + "About" dialog:
933
934    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
935      bug reporting.
936
937    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
938      modern gfx card.
939
940    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
941
942  + Processing .svx files:
943
944    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
945
946    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
947      than opening a separate frame for it.
948
949    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
950
951    - Fix small memory leak.
952
953  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
954    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
955    such a name.
956
957  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
958
959  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
960    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
961    invocations.
962
963  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
964
965  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
966
967  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
968
969* Documentation:
970
971  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
972
973  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
974    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
975    together isn't very useful.
976
977  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
978
979  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
980    the FSF website.
981
982  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
983    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
984    the source code.
985
986* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
987  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
988
989* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
990  package from the source tarball.
991
992* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
993  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
994
995Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
996
997* aven:
998
999  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
1000
1001  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
1002
1003  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
1004    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
1005    names/crosses).
1006
1007Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
1008
1009* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
1010
1011* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
1012
1013* aven:
1014
1015  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
1016
1017  + Fix character spacing.
1018
1019  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
1020    proportional fonts.
1021
1022  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
1023    rather than the filename.
1024
1025  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
1026
1027  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
1028    depth colouring.
1029
1030  + Add "Colour by Error".
1031
1032  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
1033
1034  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
1035
1036  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
1037
1038  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
1039
1040  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
1041
1042  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
1043
1044  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
1045
1046  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
1047    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
1048
1049  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
1050
1051  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
1052    default.
1053
1054* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
1055  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
1056
1057* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
1058  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
1059
1060* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
1061
1062* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
1063
1064Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
1065
1066* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
1067  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
1068  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
1069  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
1070  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
1071
1072* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
1073  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
1074  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
1075
1076* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
1077  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
1078  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
1079
1080* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
1081  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
1082  allowed).
1083
1084* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
1085
1086* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1087
1088* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1089
1090Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
1091
1092* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
1093  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
1094
1095* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
1096  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
1097  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
1098
1099* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
1100  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
1101  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
1102  the new "*data passage" style.
1103
1104* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
1105  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
1106
1107* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
1108  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
1109  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
1110  some cases.
1111
1112* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
1113  with no survey loaded.
1114
1115* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
1116
1117* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
1118  loaded a survey.
1119
1120* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
1121
1122* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
1123
1124* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
1125  doesn't exist.
1126
1127* Updated French and Italian translations.
1128
1129* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
1130  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
1131
1132* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
1133  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
1134  update their copy).
1135
1136* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
1137  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
1138  trying to compile).
1139
1140Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
1141
1142* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
1143  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
1144
1145* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
1146  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
1147  has been disabled.
1148
1149* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
1150  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
1151  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
1152  time.
1153
1154* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
1155  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
1156  highlighted stations.
1157
1158* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
1159
1160* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
1161  the tilt from plan to elevation.
1162
1163* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
1164  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
1165
1166* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
1167  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
1168  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
1169
1170* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
1171  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
1172
1173* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
1174
1175* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
1176
1177* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
1178
1179* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
1180  run by an unprivileged user.
1181
1182* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
1183  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
1184  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
1185
1186* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
1187  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
1188
1189* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
1190
1191* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
1192  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
1193
1194* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
1195  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
1196
1197* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
1198  if it isn't.
1199
1200* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
1201  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
1202
1203* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
1204  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
1205
1206* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
1207  reset to default view as well).
1208
1209* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
1210  empty.
1211
1212* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
1213  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
1214
1215* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
1216  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
1217  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
1218
1219* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
1220  and non-zero width lines.
1221
1222* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
1223  was turned on.
1224
1225* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
1226  not always being fully written.
1227
1228Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
1229
1230* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
1231  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
1232  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
1233  date near the middle of that period).
1234
1235* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
1236  with MS Windows).
1237
1238* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
1239  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
1240  several surveys in the same directory).
1241
1242* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
1243  our check for them to include that knowledge.
1244
1245* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
1246
1247* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
1248  moved off a station.
1249
1250* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
1251  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
1252
1253* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
1254
1255* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
1256  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
1257
1258* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
1259  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
1260  dialogs.
1261
1262* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
1263  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
1264
1265* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
1266  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
1267  introduced in 1.1.6).
1268
1269* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
1270  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
1271  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
1272
1273* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
1274  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
1275
1276* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
1277
1278* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
1279
1280Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
1281
1282* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
1283  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
1284
1285* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
1286  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
1287  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
1288  3d file.
1289
1290* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
1291
1292* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
1293
1294* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
1295  Instead turn off depth colouring.
1296
1297* aven: Export as HPGL added.
1298
1299* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
1300  Martin Green).
1301
1302* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
1303  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
1304  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
1305
1306* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
1307
1308* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
1309  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
1310
1311* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
1312  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
1313  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
1314  of everything else.
1315
1316* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
1317  presentation icons.
1318
1319* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
1320  keyboard focus there.
1321
1322* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
1323
1324* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
1325
1326* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
1327
1328* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
1329
1330* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
1331  language to use for messages.
1332
1333* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
1334  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
1335
1336* Removed old printer drivers.
1337
1338* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
1339  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
1340
1341Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
1342
1343* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
1344
1345* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
1346
1347* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
1348  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
1349
1350* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
1351  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
1352
1353* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
1354
1355* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
1356  underground legs is toggled.
1357
1358* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
1359  attached to the previous data.
1360
1361* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
1362  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
1363  them.
1364
1365Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
1366
1367* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
1368
1369* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
1370  continental European countries).
1371
1372* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
1373  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
1374  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
1375
1376* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
1377
1378* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
1379  they're needed.
1380
1381* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
1382
1383* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
1384
1385* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
1386
1387* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
1388  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
1389  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
1390
1391* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
1392
1393Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
1394
1395* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
1396
1397* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
1398
1399* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
1400
1401* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
1402
1403* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
1404
1405* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
1406
1407* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
1408  when there's a presentation loaded.
1409
1410* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
1411  in cave view.
1412
1413* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
1414
1415* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
1416  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
1417  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
1418
1419* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
1420  filename for file history and window title.
1421
1422* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
1423  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
1424  only needed with GTK1.2.
1425
1426* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
1427
1428* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
1429
1430* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
1431
1432* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
1433
1434Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
1435
1436* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
1437  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
1438  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
1439
1440* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
1441  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
1442
1443* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
1444  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
1445  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
1446  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
1447
1448* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
1449
1450* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
1451  with --help and --version.
1452
1453* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
1454  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
1455  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
1456  Fixed all these problems.
1457
1458* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
1459  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
1460  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
1461
1462* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
1463  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
1464  sources.
1465
1466* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
1467
1468* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
1469
1470* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
1471  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
1472
1473* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
1474  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
1475  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
1476  animating.
1477
1478* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
1479
1480* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
1481
1482* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
1483  to this branch.
1484
1485* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
1486
1487  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
1488
1489  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
1490
1491  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
1492
1493* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
1494
1495* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
1496  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
1497
1498* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
1499
1500* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
1501  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
1502
1503* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
1504
1505* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
1506  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
1507  for anyone building from CVS).
1508
1509* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
1510
1511* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
1512
1513* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
1514
1515* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
1516
1517* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
1518  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
1519  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
1520
1521* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
1522  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
1523
1524* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
1525
1526* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
1527  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
1528  loaded).
1529
1530* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
1531
1532Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
1533
1534* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
1535  startup.
1536
1537* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
1538  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
1539
1540Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
1541
1542* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
1543  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
1544  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
1545
1546* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
1547  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
1548  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
1549
1550* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
1551  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
1552  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
1553
1554* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
1555
1556* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
1557  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
1558
1559* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
1560  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
1561
1562* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
1563  better use of screen space.
1564
1565* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
1566
1567* aven: Perspective view.
1568
1569* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
1570
1571* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
1572  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
1573
1574* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
1575  and load/save/run them.
1576
1577* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
1578
1579* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
1580
1581* aven: Depth fogging option.
1582
1583* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
1584
1585* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
1586
1587* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
1588  showing the surface legs.
1589
1590* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
