aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
(or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".

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