3Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-03-16):
4
5* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
6
7* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
8  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
9  Clipstone.
10
11* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
12  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
13
14* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
15  available.
16
17* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
18  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
19
20* Various translation updates.
21
22Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
23
24* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
25  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
26
27* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
28  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
29  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
30  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
31
32* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
33  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
34
35* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
36  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
37
38* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
39  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
40
41* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
42  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
43
44* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
45  box".
46
47* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
48
49* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
50  indicators.
51
52* aven: All length units are now translatable.
53
54* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
55  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
56  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
57
58* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
59  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
60  measurably slower.
61
62* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
63  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
64
65* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
66  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
67
68* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
69  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
70  from Therion and elsewhere.
71
72* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
73  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
74  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
75
76* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
77  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
78
79* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
80  A. Riggs for his work on this.
81
82* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
83  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
84
85* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
86
87* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
88  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
89  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
90  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
91  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
92  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
93
94* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
95
96Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
97
98* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
99  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
100  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
101  Clipstone.
102
103* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
104  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
105
106* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
107  exported SVG files.
108
109* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
110
111* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
112  file.
113
114* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
115  GPX files.
116
117* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
118
119* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
120  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
121
122* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
123  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
124  on startup.
125
126* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
127
128* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
129  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
130  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
131  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
132  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
133  other extensions.
134
135* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
136  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
137  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
138  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
139  timezone wrong.
140
141* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
142
143* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
144  'SURVEY DATE:'.
145
146* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
147
148* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
149
150* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
151  enabled.
152
153Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
154
155* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
156
157* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
158
159* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
160
161* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
162  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
163  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
164
165* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
166  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
167  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
168
169* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
170  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
171
172* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
173
174* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
175
176* Fix some compiler warnings.
177
178Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
179
180* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
181  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
182  Holder.
183
184* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
185  statistics when the value gets large.
186
187* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
188  equations.
189
190* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
191  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
192  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
193  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
194  better when the "View" box is hidden.
195
196* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
197  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
198
199* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
200  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
201  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
202  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
203  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
204  way is coming soon.
205
206* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
207  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
208
209* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
210  time ago, so update references.
211
212* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
213  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
214
215* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
216  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
217
218* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
219  Sebastian Ramacher.
220
221* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
222
223* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
224
225* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
226
227* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
228
229* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
230
231* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
232  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
233  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
234
235* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
236
237* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
238
239* img library:
240
241  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
242    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
243    reading).
244
245  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
246    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
247
248  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
249    support these as an extension.
250
251  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
252
253* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
254  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
255  itself has any translations for.
256
257* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
258
259* Minor translation updates.
260
261* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
262
263Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
264
265* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
266  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
267  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
268  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
269  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
270  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
271  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
272  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
273
274* New version 8 of the 3d format:
275
276  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
277
278  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
279    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
280
281  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
282    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
283
284  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
285
286  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
287    human-readable string.
288
289  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
290    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
291
292* img library:
293
294  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
295
296  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
297    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
298
299  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
300    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
301    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
302    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
303    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
304    explicitly in the file.
305
306  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
307
308* aven:
309
310  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
311    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
312    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
313    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
314    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
315    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
316
317  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
318    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
319    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
320    queued up.
321
322  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
323    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
324
325  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
326    them like other legs.
327
328  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
329    station names to positions.
330
331  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
332    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
333    wrongly.
334
335  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
336
337  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
338    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
339    that's used by the desktop).
340
341  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
342
343  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
344    error from cavern.
345
346  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
347
348  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
349    in the dialog in sync.
350
351* cavern:
352
353  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
354    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
355    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
356
357  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
358    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
359
360  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
361    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
362    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
363    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
364    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
365    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
366    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
367    degrees.
368
369  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
370    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
371    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
372
373  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
374
375  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
376    warnings.
377
378  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
379    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
380
381  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
382    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
383
384  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
385    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
386    relevant.
387
388  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
389    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
390    the same line.
391
392  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
393    "End of line not blank" error.
394
395  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
396    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
397
398  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
399    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
400
401  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
402    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
403    include that character in the token reported.
404
405  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
406    first item.
407
408* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
409
410* dump3d:
411
412  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
413    info from 3d files in scripts.
414
415  + Add --show-dates option.
416
417  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
418
419  + Report the data style of legs.
420
421  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
422
423  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
424
425* Test suite:
426
427  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
428    expected output so it passes reliably.
429
430  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
431    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
432
433  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
434    for more.
435
436* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
437  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
438  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
439
440* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
441  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
442
443* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
444  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
445
446* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
447  with SURVEX_LANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
448  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
449  settings.
450
451* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
452  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
453  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
454  set correctly.
455
456* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
457  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
458  them to translate.
459
460* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
461  close to complete.
462
463* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
464
465* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
466
467* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
468
469Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
470
471* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
472
473* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
474  package (ticket#35).
475
476* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
477  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
478  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
479
480* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
481  Kahler.
482
483* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
484  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
485  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
486  libproj and build survex with:
487
488      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
489      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
490
491* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
492
493* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
494
495* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
496  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
497  file".
498
499Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
500
501* aven:
502
503  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
504
505  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
506    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
507
508  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
509
510  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
511
512  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
513    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
514
515* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
516  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
517  error early on).
518
519* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
520  the man page source as well as in the filename.
521
522Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
523
524* aven:
525
526  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
527    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
528    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
529    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
530
531  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
532    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
533
534  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
535
536  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
537
538  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
539
540* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
541
542Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
543
544* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
545
546* (Mac OS X version):
547
548  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
549
550  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
551
552  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
553    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
554
555  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
556
557* aven:
558
559  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
560
561  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
562
563    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
564      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
565      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
566      character.
567
568    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
569      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
570      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
571      and two in a few cases.
572
573    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
574      8 pixels.
575
576  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
577    draw crosses.
578
579  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
580    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
581    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
582    is the start or end of a tube.
583
584  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
585    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
586
587  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
588    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
589    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
590
591* extend:
592
593  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
594
595  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
596    which means "no info").
597
598* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
599  was no longer used - it certainly is!
600
601* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
602  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
603  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
604  current character set.
605
606* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
607
608* Test suite:
609
610  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
611
612  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
613
614Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
615
616* aven:
617
618  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
619    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
620    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
621    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
622    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
623    usable format.
624
625  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
626    files.  (ticket#26)
627
628  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
629    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
630
631  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
632    using lines.
633
634  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
635    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
636
637  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
638    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
639    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
640    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
641
642  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
643    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
644    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
645
646  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
647    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
648    in 1.2.1.
649
650Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
651
652* Translation updates for US English.
653
654* aven:
655
656  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
657    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
658
659  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
660
661  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
662    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
663    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
664    visually similar to the survey legs.
665
666  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
667    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
668
669  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
670    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
671    does still provide some useful information).
672
673  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
674    a depth band boundary.
675
676  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
677    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
678    full-screen mode).
679
680  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
681    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
682    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
683    are a little better, though still not perfect.
684
685  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
686    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
687
688  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
689    that station.
690
691  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
692    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
693
694  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
695    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
696    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
697    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
698    a case as it is a bug).
699
700  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
701    invalidated on window width or height changes.
702
703  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
704    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
705    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
706    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
707
708  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
709    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
710    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
711    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
712    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
713    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
714    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
715
716  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
717    similarly for other compass points.
718
719  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
720    info in the "About" dialog.
721
722  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
723    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
724
725  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
726    as well as still working with older versions.
727
728  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
729    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
730
731  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
732    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
733    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
734    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
735    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
736
737  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
738    nicer and make better use of the available space.
739
740  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
741    dialog.
742
743  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
744    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
745
746  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
747    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
748
749  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
750
751  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
752
753  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
754    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
755    being pressed and toggle full screen.
756
757* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
758  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
759
760* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
761
762* More messages are now available to be translated.
763
764* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
765  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
766
767* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
768
769* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
770  sudo for installing on Unix.
771
772* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
773  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
774
775* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
776  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
777
778* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
779
780Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
781
782* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
783  English.
784
785* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
786  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
787  case.
788
789* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
790  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
791  these into Survex's .msg format.
792
793* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
794  an actual command).
795
796* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
797  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
798  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
799  recurrence of that).
800
801* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
802  than /usr/doc/survex.
803
804* aven:
805
806  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
807
808  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
809    nicer at larger sizes.
810
811  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
812    with GLX >= 1.3.
813
814  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
815
816  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
817    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
818    required libraries set up for building releases.
819
820  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
821
822  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
823
824  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
825    rendered with icons on some platforms.
826
827  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
828    ISO8859-1).
829
830  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
831    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
832
833  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
834    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
835
836* cavern:
837
838  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
839    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
840    fatal error!
841
842  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
843    format to output.  (ticket#21)
844
845* img library:
846
847  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
848    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
849
850* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
851  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
852
853Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
854
855* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
856  Portuguese, and US English.
857
858* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
859  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
860
861* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
862  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
863
864* img.c:
865
866  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
867
868  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
869
870* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
871
872* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
873  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
874  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
875  translated.
876
877Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
878
879* aven:
880
881  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
882    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
883
884  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
885    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
886    addresses ticket#12.
887
888  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
889    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
890    consistent shape.
891
892  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
893    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
894    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
895    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
896
897  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
898    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
899
900  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
901
902  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
903    more places.
904
905  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
906    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
907
908* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
909
910* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
911  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
912
913* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
914
915* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
916  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
917  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
918  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
919  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
920  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
921
922* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
923  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
924  redirecting to it.
925
926* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
927  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
928  I/O).
929
930* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
931  headers.
932
933* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
934
935* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
936  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
937
938* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
939
940Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
941
942* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
943
944* aven:
945
946  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
947    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
948    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
949    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
950
951  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
952
953  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
954    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
955    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
956    a number.
957
958  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
959    log window.
960
961  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
962    various cases.
963
964  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
965    (ticket#9)
966
967  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
968    namespace with its own "Point" class.
969
970  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
971    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
972
973  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
974
975  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
976    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
977
978* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
979  give them before.
980
981* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
982  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
983  point looking for them now.
984
985* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
986  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
987  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
988  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
989
990* manual:
991
992  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
993
994  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
995    (change taken from 1.0).
996
997* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
998
999Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
1000
1001* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
1002
1003* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
1004
1005* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
1006
1007* aven:
1008
1009  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
1010
1011  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
1012    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
1013    seem to be Unicode now).
1014
1015  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
1016    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
1017
1018  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
1019    text on the survey pane:
1020
1021    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
1022
1023    - Character spacing is improved.
1024
1025    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
1026
1027  + "About" dialog:
1028
1029    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
1030      bug reporting.
1031
1032    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
1033      modern gfx card.
1034
1035    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
1036
1037  + Processing .svx files:
1038
1039    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
1040
1041    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
1042      than opening a separate frame for it.
1043
1044    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
1045
1046    - Fix small memory leak.
1047
1048  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
1049    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
1050    such a name.
1051
1052  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
1053
1054  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
1055    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
1056    invocations.
1057
1058  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
1059
1060  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
1061
1062  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
1063
1064* Documentation:
1065
1066  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
1067
1068  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
1069    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
1070    together isn't very useful.
1071
1072  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
1073
1074  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
1075    the FSF website.
1076
1077  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
1078    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
1079    the source code.
1080
1081* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
1082  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
1083
1084* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
1085  package from the source tarball.
1086
1087* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
1088  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
1089
1090Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
1091
1092* aven:
1093
1094  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
1095
1096  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
1097
1098  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
1099    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
1100    names/crosses).
1101
1102Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
1103
1104* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
1105
1106* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
1107
1108* aven:
1109
1110  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
1111
1112  + Fix character spacing.
1113
1114  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
1115    proportional fonts.
1116
1117  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
1118    rather than the filename.
1119
1120  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
1121
1122  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
1123    depth colouring.
1124
1125  + Add "Colour by Error".
1126
1127  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
1128
1129  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
1130
1131  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
1132
1133  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
1134
1135  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
1136
1137  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
1138
1139  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
1140
1141  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
1142    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
1143
1144  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
1145
1146  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
1147    default.
1148
1149* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
1150  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
1151
1152* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
1153  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
1154
1155* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
1156
1157* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
1158
1159Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
1160
1161* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
1162  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
1163  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
1164  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
1165  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
1166
1167* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
1168  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
1169  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
1170
1171* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
1172  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
1173  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
1174
1175* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
1176  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
1177  allowed).
1178
1179* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
1180
1181* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1182
1183* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1184
1185Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
1186
1187* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
1188  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
1189
1190* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
1191  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
1192  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
1193
1194* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
1195  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
1196  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
1197  the new "*data passage" style.
1198
1199* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
1200  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
1201
1202* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
1203  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
1204  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
1205  some cases.
1206
1207* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
1208  with no survey loaded.
1209
1210* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
1211
1212* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
1213  loaded a survey.
1214
1215* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
1216
1217* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
1218
1219* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
1220  doesn't exist.
1221
1222* Updated French and Italian translations.
1223
1224* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
1225  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
1226
1227* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
1228  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
1229  update their copy).
1230
1231* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
1232  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
1233  trying to compile).
1234
1235Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
1236
1237* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
1238  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
1239
1240* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
1241  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
1242  has been disabled.
1243
1244* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
1245  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
1246  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
1247  time.
1248
1249* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
1250  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
1251  highlighted stations.
1252
1253* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
1254
1255* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
1256  the tilt from plan to elevation.
1257
1258* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
1259  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
1260
1261* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
1262  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
1263  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
1264
1265* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
1266  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
1267
1268* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
1269
1270* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
1271
1272* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
1273
1274* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
1275  run by an unprivileged user.
1276
1277* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
1278  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
1279  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
1280
1281* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
1282  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
1283
1284* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
1285
1286* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
1287  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
1288
1289* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
1290  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
1291
1292* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
1293  if it isn't.
1294
1295* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
1296  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
1297
1298* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
1299  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
1300
1301* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
1302  reset to default view as well).
1303
1304* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
1305  empty.
1306
1307* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
1308  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
1309
1310* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
1311  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
1312  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
1313
1314* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
1315  and non-zero width lines.
1316
1317* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
1318  was turned on.
1319
1320* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
1321  not always being fully written.
1322
1323Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
1324
1325* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
1326  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
1327  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
1328  date near the middle of that period).
1329
1330* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
1331  with MS Windows).
1332
1333* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
1334  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
1335  several surveys in the same directory).
1336
1337* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
1338  our check for them to include that knowledge.
1339
1340* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
1341
1342* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
1343  moved off a station.
1344
1345* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
1346  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
1347
1348* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
1349
1350* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
1351  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
1352
1353* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
1354  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
1355  dialogs.
1356
1357* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
1358  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
1359
1360* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
1361  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
1362  introduced in 1.1.6).
1363
1364* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
1365  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
1366  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
1367
1368* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
1369  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
1370
1371* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
1372
1373* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
1374
1375Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
1376
1377* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
1378  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
1379
1380* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
1381  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
1382  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
1383  3d file.
1384
1385* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
1386
1387* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
1388
1389* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
1390  Instead turn off depth colouring.
1391
1392* aven: Export as HPGL added.
1393
1394* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
1395  Martin Green).
1396
1397* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
1398  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
1399  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
1400
1401* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
1402
1403* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
1404  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
1405
1406* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
1407  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
1408  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
1409  of everything else.
1410
1411* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
1412  presentation icons.
1413
1414* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
1415  keyboard focus there.
1416
1417* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
1418
1419* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
1420
1421* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
1422
1423* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
1424
1425* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
1426  language to use for messages.
1427
1428* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
1429  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
1430
1431* Removed old printer drivers.
1432
1433* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
1434  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
1435
1436Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
1437
1438* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
1439
1440* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
1441
1442* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
1443  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
1444
1445* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
1446  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
1447
1448* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
1449
1450* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
1451  underground legs is toggled.
1452
1453* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
1454  attached to the previous data.
1455
1456* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
1457  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
1458  them.
1459
1460Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
1461
1462* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
1463
1464* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
1465  continental European countries).
1466
1467* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
1468  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
1469  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
1470
1471* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
1472
1473* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
1474  they're needed.
1475
1476* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
1477
1478* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
1479
1480* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
1481
1482* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
1483  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
1484  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
1485
1486* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
1487
1488Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
1489
1490* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
1491
1492* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
1493
1494* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
1495
1496* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
1497
1498* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
1499
1500* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
1501
1502* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
1503  when there's a presentation loaded.
1504
1505* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
1506  in cave view.
1507
1508* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
1509
1510* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
1511  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
1512  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
1513
1514* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
1515  filename for file history and window title.
1516
1517* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
1518  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
1519  only needed with GTK1.2.
1520
1521* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
1522
1523* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
1524
1525* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
1526
1527* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
1528
1529Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
1530
1531* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
1532  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
1533  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
1534
1535* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
1536  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
1537
1538* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
1539  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
1540  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
1541  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
1542
1543* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
1544
1545* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
1546  with --help and --version.
1547
1548* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
1549  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
1550  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
1551  Fixed all these problems.
1552
1553* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
1554  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
1555  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
1556
1557* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
1558  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
1559  sources.
1560
1561* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
1562
1563* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
1564
1565* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
1566  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
1567
1568* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
1569  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
1570  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
1571  animating.
1572
1573* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
1574
1575* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
1576
1577* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
1578  to this branch.
1579
1580* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
1581
1582  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
1583
1584  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
1585
1586  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
1587
1588* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
1589
1590* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
1591  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
1592
1593* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
1594
1595* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
1596  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
1597
1598* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
1599
1600* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
1601  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
1602  for anyone building from CVS).
1603
1604* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
1605
1606* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
1607
1608* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
1609
1610* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
1611
1612* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
1613  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
1614  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
1615
1616* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
1617  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
1618
1619* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
1620
1621* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
1622  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
1623  loaded).
1624
1625* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
1626
1627Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
1628
1629* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
1630  startup.
1631
1632* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
1633  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
1634
1635Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
1636
1637* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
1638  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
1639  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
1640
1641* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
1642  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
1643  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
1644
1645* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
1646  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
1647  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
1648
1649* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
1650
1651* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
1652  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
1653
1654* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
1655  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
1656
1657* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
1658  better use of screen space.
1659
1660* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
1661
1662* aven: Perspective view.
1663
1664* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
1665
1666* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
1667  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
1668
1669* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
1670  and load/save/run them.
1671
1672* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
1673
1674* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
1675
1676* aven: Depth fogging option.
1677
1678* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
1679
1680* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
1681
1682* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
1683  showing the surface legs.
1684
1685* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
