Line 
1Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-15):
2
3* aven:
4
5  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
6    the exported file in 1.2.18.
7
8  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
9
10  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
11    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
12
13  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
14    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
15    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
16    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
17    St. Lawrence.
18
19  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
20    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
21
22  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
23    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
24    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
25
26  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
27    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
28    case like we do on other platforms.
29
30  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
31
32  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
33    support multi-monitor setups.
34
35  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
36    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
37
38  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
39    cases.
40
41  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
42    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
43    Erin Lynch)
44
45  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
46    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
47    items in in so it uses the full width.
48
49  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
50    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
51    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
52    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
53    window.
54
55  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
56    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
57    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
58    only relevant on the first ever run.
59
60* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
61
62* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
63  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
64  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
65  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
66  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
67  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
68
69Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
70
71* aven:
72
73  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
74    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
75    rendering it as a transparent surface.
76
77  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
78    sanely want to perform from the menu.
79
80  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
81    colouring options.
82
83  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
84
85  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
86    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
87    pressing "Escape".
88
89  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
90    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
91
92  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
93    exporting.
94
95  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
96
97  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
98    is quite likely to change.
99
100  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
101    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
102
103  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
104    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
105    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
106
107  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
108
109  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
110    markers in orange.
111
112  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
113    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
114
115  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
116    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
117    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
118    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
119    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
120    them would be better.
121
122  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
123    Gee.
124
125  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
126    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
127    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
128
129  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
130
131* cavern:
132
133  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
134    susscorfa).
135
136  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
137    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
138
139  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
140
141  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
142    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
143
144  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
145    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
146
147* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
148
149* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
150  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
151  in a modern desktop.
152
153* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
154  the filename in the error message.
155
156* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
157  most complete translations.
158
159* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
160
161* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
162  lacks them.
163
164* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
165
166* Manual:
167
168  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
169    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
170
171  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
172
173  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
174
175  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
176    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
177    available for download.
178
179* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
180  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
181  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
182
183* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
184
185* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
186
187Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
188
189* MacOS X version:
190
191  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
192
193  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
194
195  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
196
197  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
198
199  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
200    currently do this for us.
201
202  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
203
204  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
205
206  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
207
208  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
209    OS X cursor.
210
211  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
212    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
213    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
214    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
215    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
216    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
217    with TextEdit.app for example).
218
219  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
220    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
221
222  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
223
224  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
225    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
226
227  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
228    Riggs.
229
230  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
231    space.
232
233  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
234
235  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
236    10.10.1.
237
238  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
239    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
240    errors.
241
242  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
243    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
244    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
245    wxWidgets build supports by default.
246
247  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
248
249* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
250  treat as a single leg.
251
252* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
253
254* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
255
256* aven:
257
258  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
259    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
260
261  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
262    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
263    1:500).
264
265  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
266    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
267    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
268    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
269
270  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
271    there rather than the two animations fighting.
272
273  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
274    fast.
275
276  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
277    when rotating).
278
279  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
280    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
281
282* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
283  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
284
285* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
286
287* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
288
289* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
290
291* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
292
293* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
294  we're using git.
295
296* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
297
298  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
299    compass.
300
301  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
302
303  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
304
305Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
306
307* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
308
309* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
310
311* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
312
313* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
314  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
315
316* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
317
318* tests/: Improve test coverage.
319
320* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
321  Greek and Polish.
322
323* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
324  by Martin Sluka.
325
326* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
327  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
328
329Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
330
331* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
332  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
333  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
334  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
335  for *cs has also been improved.
336
337* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
338  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
339  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
340  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
341
342* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
343  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
344  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
345  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
346  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
347
348* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
349  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
350  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
351
352* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
353
354* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
355
356* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
357  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
358  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
359
360* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
361  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
362
363Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
364
365* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
366  system in use in 3d v8 files.
367
368* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
369  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
370  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
371  export dialog.
372
373* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
374  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
375  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
376  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
377  rather than having one corner there.
378
379* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
380  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
381
382* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
383  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
384
385* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
386  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
387  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
388
389* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
390  such as 64-bit Linux.
391
392* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
393  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
394
395* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
396  64-bit platforms.
397
398* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
399  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
400  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
401
402* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
403  the space available in the aven UI.
404
405* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
406  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
407  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
408
409* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
410  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
411
412* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
413  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
414  about unconnected surveys.
415
416* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
417  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
418
419* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
420  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
421  freed memory.
422
423* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
424
425* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
426
427* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
428
429* Fix a compiler warning.
430
431* Improve test coverage.
432
433Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
434
435* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
436  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
437  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
438
439* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
440  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
441  Hugh St Lawrence.
442
443* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
444  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
445  with using aven on a touch screen device.
446
447* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
448  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
449
450* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
451  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
452
453* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
454  off and back on.
455
456* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
457  up time a little.
458
459* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
460  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
461
462* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
463  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
464  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
465  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
466  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
467  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
468  situation too.
469
470* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
471  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
472  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
473
474* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
475
476* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
477
478* Minor translation updates to French.
479
480* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
481
482* Testsuite improvements:
483
484  + Test that "..." anon station works.
485
486  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
487    fail and give an error count.
488
489  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
490
491Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
492
493* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
494  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
495  Clipstone.
496
497* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
498
499* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
500
501  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
502    overlap the scale bar ticks.
503
504  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
505    clipping the border in print preview.
506
507  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
508
509* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
510  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
511
512* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
513  available.
514
515* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
516
517* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
518
519* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
520  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
521
522* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
523  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
524
525* Various translation updates.
526
527Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
528
529* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
530  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
531
532* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
533  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
534  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
535  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
536
537* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
538  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
539
540* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
541  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
542
543* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
544  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
545
546* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
547  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
548
549* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
550  box".
551
552* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
553
554* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
555  indicators.
556
557* aven: All length units are now translatable.
558
559* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
560  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
561  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
562
563* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
564  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
565  measurably slower.
566
567* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
568  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
569
570* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
571  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
572
573* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
574  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
575  from Therion and elsewhere.
576
577* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
578  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
579  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
580
581* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
582  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
583
584* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
585  A. Riggs for his work on this.
586
587* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
588  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
589
590* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
591
592* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
593  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
594  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
595  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
596  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
597  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
598
599* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
600
601Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
602
603* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
604  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
605  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
606  Clipstone.
607
608* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
609  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
610
611* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
612  exported SVG files.
613
614* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
615
616* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
617  file.
618
619* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
620  GPX files.
621
622* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
623
624* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
625  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
626
627* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
628  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
629  on startup.
630
631* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
632
633* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
634  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
635  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
636  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
637  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
638  other extensions.
639
640* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
641  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
642  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
643  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
644  timezone wrong.
645
646* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
647
648* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
649  'SURVEY DATE:'.
650
651* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
652
653* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
654
655* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
656  enabled.
657
658Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
659
660* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
661
662* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
663
664* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
665
666* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
667  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
668  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
669
670* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
671  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
672  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
673
674* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
675  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
676
677* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
678
679* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
680
681* Fix some compiler warnings.
682
683Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
684
685* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
686  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
687  Holder.
688
689* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
690  statistics when the value gets large.
691
692* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
693  equations.
694
695* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
696  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
697  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
698  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
699  better when the "View" box is hidden.
700
701* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
702  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
703
704* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
705  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
706  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
707  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
708  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
709  way is coming soon.
710
711* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
712  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
713
714* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
715  time ago, so update references.
716
717* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
718  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
719
720* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
721  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
722
723* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
724  Sebastian Ramacher.
725
726* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
727
728* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
729
730* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
731
732* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
733
734* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
735
736* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
737  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
738  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
739
740* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
741
742* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
743
744* img library:
745
746  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
747    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
748    reading).
749
750  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
751    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
752
753  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
754    support these as an extension.
755
756  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
757
758* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
759  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
760  itself has any translations for.
761
762* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
763
764* Minor translation updates.
765
766* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
767
768Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
769
770* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
771  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
772  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
773  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
774  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
775  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
776  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
777  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
778
779* New version 8 of the 3d format:
780
781  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
782
783  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
784    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
785
786  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
787    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
788
789  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
790
791  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
792    human-readable string.
793
794  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
795    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
796
797* img library:
798
799  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
800
801  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
802    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
803
804  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
805    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
806    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
807    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
808    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
809    explicitly in the file.
810
811  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
812
813* aven:
814
815  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
816    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
817    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
818    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
819    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
820    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
821
822  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
823    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
824    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
825    queued up.
826
827  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
828    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
829
830  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
831    them like other legs.
832
833  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
834    station names to positions.
835
836  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
837    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
838    wrongly.
839
840  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
841
842  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
843    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
844    that's used by the desktop).
845
846  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
847
848  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
849    error from cavern.
850
851  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
852
853  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
854    in the dialog in sync.
855
856* cavern:
857
858  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
859    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
860    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
861
862  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
863    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
864
865  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
866    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
867    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
868    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
869    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
870    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
871    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
872    degrees.
873
874  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
875    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
876    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
877
878  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
879
880  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
881    warnings.
882
883  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
884    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
885
886  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
887    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
888
889  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
890    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
891    relevant.
892
893  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
894    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
895    the same line.
896
897  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
898    "End of line not blank" error.
899
900  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
901    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
902
903  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
904    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
905
906  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
907    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
908    include that character in the token reported.
909
910  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
911    first item.
912
913* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
914
915* dump3d:
916
917  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
918    info from 3d files in scripts.
919
920  + Add --show-dates option.
921
922  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
923
924  + Report the data style of legs.
925
926  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
927
928  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
929
930* Test suite:
931
932  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
933    expected output so it passes reliably.
934
935  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
936    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
937
938  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
939    for more.
940
941* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
942  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
943  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
944
945* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
946  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
947
948* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
949  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
950
951* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
952  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
953  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
954  settings.
955
956* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
957  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
958  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
959  set correctly.
960
961* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
962  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
963  them to translate.
964
965* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
966  close to complete.
967
968* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
969
970* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
971
972* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
973
974Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
975
976* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
977
978* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
979  package (ticket#35).
980
981* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
982  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
983  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
984
985* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
986  Kahler.
987
988* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
989  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
990  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
991  libproj and build survex with:
992
993      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
994      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
995
996* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
997
998* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
999
1000* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
1001  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
1002  file".
1003
1004Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
1005
1006* aven:
1007
1008  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
1009
1010  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
1011    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
1012
1013  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
1014
1015  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
1016
1017  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
1018    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
1019
1020* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
1021  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
1022  error early on).
1023
1024* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
1025  the man page source as well as in the filename.
1026
1027Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
1028
1029* aven:
1030
1031  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
1032    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
1033    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
1034    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
1035
1036  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
1037    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
1038
1039  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
1040
1041  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
1042
1043  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
1044
1045* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
1046
1047Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
1048
1049* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
1050
1051* (Mac OS X version):
1052
1053  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
1054
1055  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
1056
1057  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
1058    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
1059
1060  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
1061
1062* aven:
1063
1064  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
1065
1066  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
1067
1068    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
1069      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
1070      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
1071      character.
1072
1073    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
1074      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
1075      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
1076      and two in a few cases.
1077
1078    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
1079      8 pixels.
1080
1081  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
1082    draw crosses.
1083
1084  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
1085    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
1086    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
1087    is the start or end of a tube.
1088
1089  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
1090    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
1091
1092  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
1093    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
1094    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
1095
1096* extend:
1097
1098  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
1099
1100  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
1101    which means "no info").
1102
1103* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
1104  was no longer used - it certainly is!
1105
1106* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
1107  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
1108  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
1109  current character set.
1110
1111* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
1112
1113* Test suite:
1114
1115  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
1116
1117  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
1118
1119Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
1120
1121* aven:
1122
1123  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
1124    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
1125    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
1126    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
1127    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
1128    usable format.
1129
1130  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
1131    files.  (ticket#26)
1132
1133  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
1134    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
1135
1136  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
1137    using lines.
1138
1139  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
1140    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
1141
1142  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
1143    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
1144    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
1145    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
1146
1147  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
1148    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
1149    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
1150
1151  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
1152    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
1153    in 1.2.1.
1154
1155Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
1156
1157* Translation updates for US English.
1158
1159* aven:
1160
1161  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
1162    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
1163
1164  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
1165
1166  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
1167    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
1168    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
1169    visually similar to the survey legs.
1170
1171  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
1172    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
1173
1174  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
1175    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
1176    does still provide some useful information).
1177
1178  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
1179    a depth band boundary.
1180
1181  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
1182    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
1183    full-screen mode).
1184
1185  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
1186    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
1187    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
1188    are a little better, though still not perfect.
1189
1190  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
1191    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
1192
1193  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
1194    that station.
1195
1196  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
1197    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
1198
1199  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
1200    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
1201    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
1202    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
1203    a case as it is a bug).
1204
1205  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
1206    invalidated on window width or height changes.
1207
1208  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
1209    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
1210    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
1211    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
1212
1213  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
1214    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
1215    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
1216    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
1217    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
1218    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
1219    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
1220
1221  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
1222    similarly for other compass points.
1223
1224  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
1225    info in the "About" dialog.
1226
1227  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
1228    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
1229
1230  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
1231    as well as still working with older versions.
1232
1233  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
1234    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
1235
1236  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
1237    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
1238    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
1239    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
1240    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
1241
1242  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
1243    nicer and make better use of the available space.
1244
1245  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
1246    dialog.
1247
1248  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
1249    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
1250
1251  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
1252    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
1253
1254  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
1255
1256  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
1257
1258  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
1259    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
1260    being pressed and toggle full screen.
1261
1262* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
1263  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
1264
1265* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
1266
1267* More messages are now available to be translated.
1268
1269* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
1270  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
1271
1272* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
1273
1274* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
1275  sudo for installing on Unix.
1276
1277* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
1278  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
1279
1280* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
1281  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
1282
1283* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1284
1285Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
1286
1287* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
1288  English.
1289
1290* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
1291  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
1292  case.
1293
1294* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
1295  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
1296  these into Survex's .msg format.
1297
1298* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
1299  an actual command).
1300
1301* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
1302  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
1303  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
1304  recurrence of that).
1305
1306* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
1307  than /usr/doc/survex.
1308
1309* aven:
1310
1311  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
1312
1313  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
1314    nicer at larger sizes.
1315
1316  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
1317    with GLX >= 1.3.
1318
1319  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
1320
1321  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
1322    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
1323    required libraries set up for building releases.
1324
1325  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
1326
1327  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
1328
1329  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
1330    rendered with icons on some platforms.
1331
1332  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
1333    ISO8859-1).
1334
1335  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
1336    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
1337
1338  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
1339    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
1340
1341* cavern:
1342
1343  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
1344    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
1345    fatal error!
1346
1347  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
1348    format to output.  (ticket#21)
1349
1350* img library:
1351
1352  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
1353    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
1354
1355* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
1356  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
1357
1358Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
1359
1360* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
1361  Portuguese, and US English.
1362
1363* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
1364  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
1365
1366* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
1367  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
1368
1369* img.c:
1370
1371  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
1372
1373  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
1374
1375* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
1376
1377* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
1378  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
1379  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
1380  translated.
1381
1382Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
1383
1384* aven:
1385
1386  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
1387    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
1388
1389  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
1390    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
1391    addresses ticket#12.
1392
1393  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
1394    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
1395    consistent shape.
1396
1397  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
1398    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
1399    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
1400    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
1401
1402  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
1403    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
1404
1405  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
1406
1407  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
1408    more places.
1409
1410  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
1411    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
1412
1413* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
1414
1415* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
1416  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
1417
1418* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
1419
1420* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
1421  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
1422  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
1423  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
1424  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
1425  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
1426
1427* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
1428  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
1429  redirecting to it.
1430
1431* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
1432  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
1433  I/O).
1434
1435* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
1436  headers.
1437
1438* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
1439
1440* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
1441  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
1442
1443* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
1444
1445Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
1446
1447* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
1448
1449* aven:
1450
1451  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
1452    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
1453    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
1454    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
1455
1456  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
1457
1458  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
1459    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
1460    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
1461    a number.
1462
1463  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
1464    log window.
1465
1466  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
1467    various cases.
1468
1469  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
1470    (ticket#9)
1471
1472  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
1473    namespace with its own "Point" class.
1474
1475  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
1476    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
1477
1478  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
1479
1480  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
1481    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
1482
1483* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
1484  give them before.
1485
1486* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
1487  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
1488  point looking for them now.
1489
1490* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
1491  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
1492  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
1493  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
1494
1495* manual:
1496
1497  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
1498
1499  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
1500    (change taken from 1.0).
1501
1502* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
1503
1504Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
1505
1506* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
1507
1508* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
1509
1510* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
1511
1512* aven:
1513
1514  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
1515
1516  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
1517    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
1518    seem to be Unicode now).
1519
1520  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
1521    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
1522
1523  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
1524    text on the survey pane:
1525
1526    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
1527
1528    - Character spacing is improved.
1529
1530    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
1531
1532  + "About" dialog:
1533
1534    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
1535      bug reporting.
1536
1537    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
1538      modern gfx card.
1539
1540    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
1541
1542  + Processing .svx files:
1543
1544    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
1545
1546    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
1547      than opening a separate frame for it.
1548
1549    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
1550
1551    - Fix small memory leak.
1552
1553  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
1554    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
1555    such a name.
1556
1557  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
1558
1559  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
1560    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
1561    invocations.
1562
1563  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
1564
1565  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
1566
1567  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
1568
1569* Documentation:
1570
1571  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
1572
1573  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
1574    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
1575    together isn't very useful.
1576
1577  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
1578
1579  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
1580    the FSF website.
1581
1582  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
1583    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
1584    the source code.
1585
1586* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
1587  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
1588
1589* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
1590  package from the source tarball.
1591
1592* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
1593  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
1594
1595Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
1596
1597* aven:
1598
1599  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
1600
1601  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
1602
1603  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
1604    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
1605    names/crosses).
1606
1607Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
1608
1609* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
1610
1611* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
1612
1613* aven:
1614
1615  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
1616
1617  + Fix character spacing.
1618
1619  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
1620    proportional fonts.
1621
1622  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
1623    rather than the filename.
1624
1625  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
1626
1627  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
1628    depth colouring.
1629
1630  + Add "Colour by Error".
1631
1632  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
1633
1634  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
1635
1636  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
1637
1638  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
1639
1640  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
1641
1642  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
1643
1644  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
1645
1646  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
1647    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
1648
1649  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
1650
1651  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
1652    default.
1653
1654* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
1655  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
1656
1657* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
1658  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
1659
1660* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
1661
1662* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
1663
1664Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
1665
1666* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
1667  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
1668  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
1669  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
1670  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
1671
1672* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
1673  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
1674  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
1675
1676* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
1677  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
1678  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
1679
1680* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
1681  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
1682  allowed).
1683
1684* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
1685
1686* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1687
1688* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1689
1690Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
1691
1692* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
1693  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
1694
1695* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
1696  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
1697  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
1698
1699* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
1700  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
1701  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
1702  the new "*data passage" style.
1703
1704* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
1705  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
1706
1707* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
1708  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
1709  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
1710  some cases.
1711
1712* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
1713  with no survey loaded.
1714
1715* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
1716
1717* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
1718  loaded a survey.
1719
1720* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
1721
1722* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
1723
1724* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
1725  doesn't exist.
1726
1727* Updated French and Italian translations.
1728
1729* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
1730  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
1731
1732* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
1733  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
1734  update their copy).
1735
1736* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
1737  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
1738  trying to compile).
1739
1740Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
1741
1742* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
1743  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
1744
1745* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
1746  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
1747  has been disabled.
1748
1749* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
1750  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
1751  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
1752  time.
1753
1754* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
1755  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
1756  highlighted stations.
1757
1758* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
1759
1760* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
1761  the tilt from plan to elevation.
1762
1763* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
1764  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
1765
1766* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
1767  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
1768  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
1769
1770* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
1771  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
1772
1773* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
1774
1775* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
1776
1777* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
1778
1779* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
1780  run by an unprivileged user.
1781
1782* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
1783  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
1784  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
1785
1786* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
1787  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
1788
1789* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
1790
1791* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
1792  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
1793
1794* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
1795  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
1796
1797* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
1798  if it isn't.
1799
1800* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
1801  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
1802
1803* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
1804  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
1805
1806* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
1807  reset to default view as well).
1808
1809* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
1810  empty.
1811
1812* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
1813  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
1814
1815* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
1816  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
1817  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
1818
1819* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
1820  and non-zero width lines.
1821
1822* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
1823  was turned on.
1824
1825* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
1826  not always being fully written.
1827
1828Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
1829
1830* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
1831  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
1832  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
1833  date near the middle of that period).
1834
1835* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
1836  with MS Windows).
1837
1838* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
1839  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
1840  several surveys in the same directory).
1841
1842* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
1843  our check for them to include that knowledge.
1844
1845* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
1846
1847* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
1848  moved off a station.
1849
1850* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
1851  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
1852
1853* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
1854
1855* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
1856  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
1857
1858* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
1859  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
1860  dialogs.
1861
1862* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
1863  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
1864
1865* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
1866  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
1867  introduced in 1.1.6).
1868
1869* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
1870  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
1871  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
1872
1873* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
1874  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
1875
1876* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
1877
1878* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
1879
1880Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
1881
1882* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
1883  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
1884
1885* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
1886  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
1887  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
1888  3d file.
1889
1890* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
1891
1892* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
1893
1894* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
1895  Instead turn off depth colouring.
1896
1897* aven: Export as HPGL added.
1898
1899* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
1900  Martin Green).
1901
1902* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
1903  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
1904  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
1905
1906* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
1907
1908* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
1909  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
1910
1911* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
1912  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
1913  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
1914  of everything else.
1915
1916* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
1917  presentation icons.
1918
1919* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
1920  keyboard focus there.
1921
1922* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
1923
1924* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
1925
1926* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
1927
1928* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
1929
1930* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
1931  language to use for messages.
1932
1933* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
1934  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
1935
1936* Removed old printer drivers.
1937
1938* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
1939  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
1940
1941Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
1942
1943* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
1944
1945* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
1946
1947* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
1948  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
1949
1950* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
1951  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
1952
1953* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
1954
1955* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
1956  underground legs is toggled.
1957
1958* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
1959  attached to the previous data.
1960
1961* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
1962  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
1963  them.
1964
1965Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
1966
1967* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
1968
1969* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
1970  continental European countries).
1971
1972* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
1973  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
1974  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
1975
1976* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
1977
1978* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
1979  they're needed.
1980
1981* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
1982
1983* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
1984
1985* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
1986
1987* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
1988  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
1989  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
1990
1991* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
1992
1993Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
1994
1995* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
1996
1997* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
1998
1999* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
2000
2001* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
2002
2003* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
2004
2005* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
2006
2007* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
2008  when there's a presentation loaded.
2009
2010* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
2011  in cave view.
2012
2013* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
2014
2015* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
2016  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
2017  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
2018
2019* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
2020  filename for file history and window title.
2021
2022* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
2023  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
2024  only needed with GTK1.2.
2025
2026* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
2027
2028* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
2029
2030* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
2031
2032* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
2033
2034Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
2035
2036* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
2037  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
2038  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
2039
2040* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
2041  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
2042
2043* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
2044  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
2045  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
2046  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
2047
2048* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
2049
2050* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
2051  with --help and --version.
2052
2053* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
2054  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
2055  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
2056  Fixed all these problems.
2057
2058* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
2059  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
2060  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
2061
2062* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
2063  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
2064  sources.
2065
2066* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
2067
2068* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
2069
2070* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
2071  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
2072
2073* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
2074  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
2075  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
2076  animating.
2077
2078* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
2079
2080* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
2081
2082* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
2083  to this branch.
2084
2085* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
2086
2087  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
2088
2089  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
2090
2091  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
2092
2093* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
2094
2095* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
2096  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
2097
2098* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
2099
2100* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
2101  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
2102
2103* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
2104
2105* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
2106  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
2107  for anyone building from CVS).
2108
2109* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
2110
2111* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
2112
2113* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
2114
2115* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
2116
2117* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
2118  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
2119  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
2120
2121* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
2122  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
2123
2124* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
2125
2126* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
2127  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
2128  loaded).
2129
2130* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
2131
2132Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
2133
2134* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
2135  startup.
2136
2137* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
2138  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
2139
2140Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
2141
2142* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
2143  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
2144  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
2145
2146* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
2147  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
2148  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
2149
2150* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
2151  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
2152  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
2153
2154* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
2155
2156* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
2157  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
2158
2159* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
2160  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
2161
2162* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
2163  better use of screen space.
2164
2165* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
2166
2167* aven: Perspective view.
2168
2169* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
2170
2171* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
2172  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
2173
2174* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
2175  and load/save/run them.
2176
2177* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
2178
2179* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
2180
2181* aven: Depth fogging option.
2182
2183* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
2184
2185* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
2186
2187* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
2188  showing the surface legs.
2189
2190* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
