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