Line 
1* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands with feature
2  test.  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now becomes a date
3  range for the relevant period (previously it became a single date near
4  the middle of that period).
5
6* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
7  with MS Windows).
8
9* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
10  moved off a station.
11
12* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
13  same directory.
14
15* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
16
17* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
18  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
19
20* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
21  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
22  dialogs.
23
24* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
25  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
26
27* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
28  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
29  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
30
31* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
32  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
33
34* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
35
36Changes in 1.1.6:
37
38* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
39  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
40
41* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
42  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
43  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
44  3d file.
45
46* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
47
48* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
49
50* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
51  Instead turn off depth colouring.
52
53* aven: Export as HPGL added.
54
55* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
56  Martin Green).
57
58* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
59  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
60  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
61
62* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
63
64* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
65  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
66
67* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
68  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
69  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
70  of everything else.
71
72* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
73  presentation icons.
74
75* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
76  keyboard focus there.
77
78* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
79
80* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
81
82* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
83
84* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
85
86* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
87  language to use for messages.
88
89* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
90  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
91
92* Removed old printer drivers.
93
94* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
95  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
96
97Changes in 1.1.5:
98
99* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
100
101* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
102
103* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
104  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
105
106* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
107  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
108 
109* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
110
111* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
112  underground legs is toggled.
113
114* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
115  attached to the previous data.
116
117* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
118  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
119  them.
120
121Changes in 1.1.4:
122
123* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
124
125* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
126  continental European countries).
127
128* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
129  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
130  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
131
132* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
133
134* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
135  they're needed.
136
137* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
138
139* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
140
141* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
142
143* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
144  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
145  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
146
147* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
148
149Changes in 1.1.3:
150
151* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
152
153* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
154
155* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
156
157* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
158
159* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
160
161* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
162
163* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
164  when there's a presentation loaded.
165
166* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
167  in cave view.
168
169* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
170
171* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
172  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
173  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
174
175* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
176  filename for file history and window title.
177
178* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
179  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
180  only needed with GTK1.2.
181
182* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
183
184* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
185
186* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
187
188* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
189
190Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
191
192* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
193  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
194  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
195
196* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
197  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
198
199* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
200  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
201  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
202  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
203
204* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
205
206* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
207  with --help and --version.
208
209* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
210  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
211  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
212  Fixed all these problems.
213
214* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
215  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
216  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
217
218* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
219  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
220  sources.
221
222* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
223
224* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
225
226* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
227  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
228
229* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
230  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
231  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
232  animating.
233
234* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
235
236* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
237
238* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
239  to this branch.
240
241* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
242
243  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
244
245  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
246
247  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
248
249* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
250
251* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
252  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
253
254* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
255
256* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
257  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
258
259* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
260
261* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
262  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
263  for anyone building from CVS).
264
265* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
266
267* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
268
269* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
270
271* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
272
273* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
274  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
275  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
276
277* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
278  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
279
280* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
281
282* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
283  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
284  loaded).
285
286* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
287
288Changes in 1.1.1:
289
290* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
291  startup.
292
293* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
294  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
295
296Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0:
297
298* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
299  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
300  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
301
302* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
303  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
304  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
305
306* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
307  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
308  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
309
310* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
311
312* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
313  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
314
315* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
316  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
317
318* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
319  better use of screen space.
320
321* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
322
323* aven: Perspective view.
324
325* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
326
327* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
328  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
329
330* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
331  and load/save/run them.
332
333* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
334
335* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
336
337* aven: Depth fogging option.
338
339* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
340
341* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
342
343* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
344  showing the surface legs.
345
346* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
347
348Changes in 1.0.32:
349
350* aven: Fixed font sizes in "Print Preview" and printouts.
351
352* aven: In the print setup dialog, replaced "Orientation" radio buttons with
353  "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons.
354
355* aven: Fixed info box on printouts of elevations, tilted views, and
356  extend elevations.
357
358* aven: Added "fit on one page" option, and make it the default.
359
360* aven: Reorder "Cancel", "Preview", "Print" buttons and make "Print" the
361  default button.
362
363* aven: Read settings back from the print dialog when the "Print" button is
364  pressed (was only done for "Preview" previously).
365
366* aven: Sorted out the initial size of the "Print Preview" window.
367
368* aven: Fixed the window manager's close button on the "Print Preview" window
369  - previously this was being ignored.
370
371* aven: Sorted out initial survey scaling when loading a survey at startup.
372
373* aven: Fixed the measuring line to work better when the survey tree is
374  manipulated with keys.  Tweaked redrawing of the measuring line to be a
375  smidgen more efficient.  Fixed the blob and ring size which were one
376  pixel too small on Windows.
377
378* aven: Added "System Information:" section to the "About" dialog to hold
379  information useful when reporting bugs.  Currently it contains the wxWindows
380  version, OS version, and colour depth information.
381
382* aven: Changed the "About" dialog's "Close" button to be "OK" for consistency
383  with pretty much every other application.
384
385* aven: Added "File->Export as..." which integrates cad3d's functionality
386  within aven.
387
388* aven: Updated a few icons.
389
390* cad3d: Added SVG export support from John Pybus
391
392* (Unix version): Fixed to allow compilation with GCC 3.4
393
394* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to using innosetup 4 for the installer
395  (we were using innosetup 2).  This results in a much smaller download
396  and the installer now translates itself into the currently set language.
397  The installer will no longer work on Windows NT 3.51, but I seriously
398  doubt anyone is still using that...
399
400* Updates to German translation.
401
402Changes in 1.0.31:
403
404* (MS Windows version): Fixed problems with the new printing code by building
405  with a newer version of wxWindows (2.5.2 instead of 2.4.1).
406
407* aven: Fixed grid menu item so that it always correctly reflects whether the
408  grid is enabled or not.
409
410* aven: Minor improvements to appearance of a few toolbar icons.
411
412* Updates to Catalan, French, Italian, Romanian, Slovak, and Spanish
413  translations.
414
415* cavern: Fixed Romanian message which was appearing in English .err files.
416
417Changes in 1.0.30:
418
419* aven: Added printing directly from Aven!
420
421* aven: Fixed memory leak when showing the "About" dialog.
422
423* (MacOS X version): Now installable from a disk image package.
424
425* cavern: Equates are no longer considered when deciding which stations are
426  flagged as surface and underground.
427
428* Romanian translation mostly completed.
429
430* (Unix version): Debian: Minor packaging tweaks.
431
432Changes in 1.0.29:
433
434* cad3d: Fixed problem with DXF files which stopped them loading with some
435  drawing packages (introduced in 1.0.27).
436
437* aven: Changed File->Exit to File->Quit.
438
439* Removed some unused messages from the message files.
440
441* (Unix version): Fixed SRPMs to build on RedHat 9 and Fedora Core 1 (patch
442  from John Pybus).
443
444* Romanian translation started.
445
446* (Unix version): Debian: Fixed new lintian warnings about missing quotes in
447  menu files.
448
449Changes in 1.0.28:
450
451* Fixed 3d file reading code to fix incorrect unpacking of compressed station
452  names in a rare case.  Also checked other rare cases work correctly.
453
454Changes in 1.0.27:
455
456* cad3d: DXF output now puts surface legs, stations, and labels in separate
457  layers.
458
459* (Unix version): distribute desc-svxedit.txt.
460
461Changes in 1.0.26:
462
463* cavern: Fixed interleaved topofil data style - the length was always being
464  calculated as zero.
465
466* (Unix version): aven: "All Files" now shows files without extensions too.
467
468* aven: added Ctrl+Q as shortcut for File->Exit.
469
470* aven: depth colouring now uses a proper colour gradient.
471
472* (MacOS X version): aven: the keyboard and mouse now work!  It turns out that
473  we must apply resources *after* installing.
474
475* (MacOS X version): aven: now works when run from the MacOS X Finder.
476
477* (MacOS X version): look for message files and other resources relative to the
478  binaries so that the user can install Survex from a disk image in the location
479  of their choice.
480
481* (MacOS X version): fixed not to try to build aven if wxWindows isn't
482  installed.
483
484* cad3d: fixed -e and -r options to not crash (the long versions have always
485  worked).
486
487* extend: fixed to initialise an internal structure - failing to do so was
488  probably causing crashes on some platforms.
489
490* Fixed standard graphics for "Note", "Warning", etc in the PostScript manual.
491
492* Documentation updated.
493
494* (Unix version): fixed svxedit man page which previously contained xcaverot
495  documentation!
496
497* test suite: check that cavern doesn't report "nan" or "NaN" for any values.
498
499* (Unix version): fixed configure --enable-defaultlang=XX to work.
500
501* (Unix version): fixed configure code to turn on lots of GCC warnings and fixed
502  most of them.
503
504* (MS Windows version): assorted tweaks to allow building with MS Visual C/C++.
505
506Changes in 1.0.25:
507
508* (MacOS X version): hopefully fixed building of aven.
509
510* (Unix version): updated config.guess and config.sub so should build out of
511  the box on more Unix platforms.
512
513* (Unix version): Debian: added missing Build-Depends on xlibs-dev.
514
515* (Unix version): RPMs: give up supplying binary RPMs due to apparently
516  insurmountable technical problems.
517
518Changes in 1.0.24:
519
520* cavern: fixed LEVEL (broken since around 1.0.8) and added test case.
521
522* cavern: corrected handling of declination in Compass DAT files and added test
523  case; also added tests for other aspects of Compass DAT file reading.
524
525* printps/printpcl: fixed blank page detection in some obscure cases.
526
527* Documentation: started manual section on working with Compass data files.
528
529* (Unix version): fixed compilation problems with aven and getopt.h on MacOS X
530  (and probably some other Unix versions).
531
532* (Unix version): Debian package now Build-Depends on gcc-3.2 and g++-3.2.
533
534Changes in 1.0.23:
535
536* Documentation: include 3d v3 file format description on MS Windows, MS DOS,
537  and RISC OS too; include PNG graphics for manual on MS Windows; minor updates
538  to manual.
539
540* Prefer wxWindows 2.4 if it's available.
541
542* (MacOS X version): detect MacOS X and look for MacOS X build of wxWindows;
543  automatically add resource fork to aven binary.
544
545* Disabled experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - it isn't currently
546  working and makes the printer drivers unusable on Chinese versions of MS
547  Windows.
548
549* (Unix version): tweaked debian packaging.
550
551* cavern: Handling of "*:" at start of file wasn't fully fixed in 1.0.19.
552
553Changes in 1.0.22:
554
555* aven: Fixed handling of extended elevations (and other flat surveys) -
556  they are meant to be "locked flat" but this wasn't fully working before.
557
558* Documentation: 3d v3 file format description: fixed error in description of
559  codes 0x01-0x0e; include it in binary packages (not only with the source
560  code).
561
562Changes in 1.0.21:
563
564* cavern: when reading Compass DAT files, we now processes compass and clino
565  backsights, and recognise the "X" flag which indicates a leg should be
566  entirely ignored.  And we now report correct line number with errors in
567  Compass .MAK files.
568
569* cavern: if "*infer plumbs on", don't infer a plumb if the clino is
570  +/- 90 degrees, but the backclino isn't (and vice versa).
571
572* cavern: fixed 3dx output so it actually works with Chasm once more.
573
574* cavern: don't allocate extra space needed for producing 3dx output for
575  Chasm unless we're actually producing that output - saves about 8 bytes
576  per station.
577
578* cavern: removed slightly too keen sanity check which could misfire in very
579  unusual circumstances.
580
581* (MS Windows version): all .ico files except 3d.ico have been missing since
582  1.0.17 (or maybe 1.0.16) - fixed.  You wouldn't notice this if you installed
583  over an previous version.
584
585Changes in 1.0.20:
586
587* aven: update display when "Metric" or "Degrees" is toggled.
588
589* cavern: fixed handling of compass and clino corrections in Compass survey
590  data - these were interpreted as radians rather than degrees so the
591  correction was about 57 times too large!)
592
593* Improved handling of Compass PLT files - if the survey name is empty, don't
594  insert a survey separator character.
595
596* Documentation: fixed incorrect markup which resulted in a bogus footnote.
597
598Changes in 1.0.19:
599
600* cavern: you can now process Compass format survey data (.DAT and .MAK files) -
601  these can even be linked into a Survex dataset with "*include fulford.dat" or
602  "*include lech.mak" to allow processing of mixed datasets.
603
604* cavern: major speedup (up to 60%) when reading in survey data containing
605  a lot of stations in the same survey hierarchy level (which is how Compass
606  files are handled).
607
608* cavern: don't warn about a compass reading on a plumbed leg if the
609  plumb was inferred and the compass reading is zero.
610
611* cavern: reduced memory usage in code which reads a survey station name.
612
613* cavern: reported CPU time would go negative if cavern ran for more than
614  about 36 minutes (highly unlikely but not impossible on a slow machine
615  with a large, highly interconnect survey) - fixed.
616
617* cavern: avoid unnecessary work when --percentage isn't specified.
618
619* cavern: Writing "*:" at the start of a .svx file would crash cavern - fixed
620  and added test case.  This is an error anyway, but it shouldn't cause a
621  crash.
622
623* Don't distribute unused toolbar icons.
624
625* Documentation: minor updates.
626
627Changes in 1.0.18:
628
629* (Unix version): Fixed "Process" action on .svx files.
630
631* (Unix version): File associations: if svxedit isn't installed, run gnome-edit
632  instead.
633
634* (Unix version): In Debian packages, now include file associations and file
635  icons in the survex package rather than survex-aven.
636
637* (Unix version): File associations were missing from RPM packages; moved
638  aven and svxedit man pages to their respective subpackages; moved aven icons
639  to the aven subpackage.
640
641* Documentation: added details of the 3d file format (version 3).
642
643* Updated TODO list.
644
645Changes in 1.0.17:
646
647* (MS Windows version): Fixed "Open in SvxEdit" to work (and if tcl isn't
648  install this action now falls back to using notepad).  SvxEdit now has
649  its own icon.
650
651* (Unix version): Install mime types, icons, and file associations for Gnome.
652  Note: at present GMC doesn't seem to notice new files being created (e.g.
653  Process on a .svx file creates .3d and .err files) - you have to manually
654  refresh the view.
655
656* Minor update to manual.
657
658Changes in 1.0.16:
659
660* (MS Windows version): Really fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
661  programs from finding the message files.
662
663* (MS Windows version): Remove any existing "Open" file association for .svx
664  files.
665
666Changes in 1.0.15:
667
668* (MS Windows version): Fixed bug introduced in 1.0.14 which often stops
669  programs from finding the message files.
670
671* (MS Windows version): "Open in Notepad" is now the double-click action
672  for .svx files once again, "Open in SvxEdit" is an action in the menu
673  obtained with the right mouse button.
674
675Changes in 1.0.14:
676
677* svxedit: This is a Survex data entry editor from the therion team.  It needs
678  tcl and wish installed - for MS Windows an installer is available for free
679  from Activeware.
680
681* Improved handling of Compass PLT files and CMAP xyz files - no longer change
682  dots to spaces in survey and station names - instead use a space as the
683  separator between survey name and station name.
684
685* aven: when picking non-overlapping labels, show a slight preference to shorter
686  labels with the aim of displaying more labels.
687
688* aven: fixed hard to notice problem which could cause the cave to appear
689  tilted sideways after a lot of manipulation.
690
691* cavern: Modest speed improvement (0.5% for sample dataset).
692
693* cavern: fixed a rarely sighted bug which caused erroneous error about some
694  stations not being attached to a fixed point.
695
696* cavern: fixed clino readings and DIRECTION to work in interleaved data.
697
698* cavern: improved error reporting when an invalid value is given for a
699  DIRECTION reading.
700
701* cavern: fixed "singular matrix" error when very low SDs were specified.
702
703* print*: if the --raw is used, the survey can now use the space this would
704  have taken up.
705
706* Reading of ASCII 3d files now copes with MSDOS/MS Windows line endings
707  once again.  Added regression test for this.
708
709* (MS Windows version): Programs run from the command line now find message
710  files without SURVEXHOME needing to be set.
711
712* Updated documentation.
713
714Changes in 1.0.13:
715
716* aven: Fixed bug which caused the occasional spurious leg to be shown
717  connecting arbitrary stations.
718
719* extend: try to extend along a survey, and make breaks where other surveys
720  join.
721
722* cavern: Number reading code reworked to allow repeat readings to be
723  supported, but the actual repeat reading code is currently disabled,
724  and everything should work exactly as before.
725
726* Experimental support for Chinese (LANG=zh) - only a few messages are
727  currently translated.
728
729Changes in 1.0.12:
730
731* diffpos: fixed to work on 64bit architectures.
732
733* sorterr: fixed to work with more than 1024 traverses.
734
735* Fixed handling of iso-8859-2 character set and MS Windows code page 1250
736  (both cover Eastern European languages).
737
738* (MS Windows version): install file associations for Compass .plt and .plf
739  files and for CMAP .xyz files.  Also install the file icon for .plt and
740  .plf files in case Compass isn't installed (thanks to Larry Fish for
741  permission to include the icon).
742
743* (Unix version): running an installed program with an explicit path works
744  again.
745
746* (Unix version): xcaverot: automatically switch on PDA mode if the screen is
747  less than 640 pixels wide or less than 480 pixels high.
748
749* (Unix version): minor portability improvements.
750
751* Updates to Portuguese translation - all translations are now up-to-date.
752
753Changes in 1.0.11:
754
755* aven: improvements in 1.0.10 to the file type selector only work properly
756  on MS Windows, and with wxGtk >= 2.3 on Unix (the latest stable release is
757  2.2.9 where this doesn't work).  Fixed to work as well as possible on 2.2.9,
758  and as intended on 2.3.
759
760* aven: fixed so that loading PLT files works regardless of the current locale
761  (previously it would fail for locales where the decimal character wasn't
762  '.').
763
764* aven: key actions during autorotation no longer temporarily pause
765  autorotation.
766
767* aven: switching to plan or elevation while rotating is now smooth.
768
769* aven: removed undocumented and confusing "free rotation mode".
770
771* (MS Windows version): aven: focus now set correctly after loading a file by
772  double-clicking or from the command line.
773
774* cad3d: write dummy passage dimensions to .plt files to avoid Compass bug.
775
776* printwin/printps: now support coloured printouts.
777
778* print*: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
779
780* extend: fixed to work correctly with PLT files.
781
782* Updates to Italian translation.
783
784* Minor documentation updates.
785
786Changes in 1.0.10:
787
788* (MS Windows version): aven: fixed assert failure upon turning on station
789  names.
790
791* aven: only add a file to the list of recently used files if it was opened
792  successfully.
793
794* aven: recognise ".plf" as a Compass PLT file too; and on Unix list "*.PLT",
795  "*.PLF", "*.XYZ", and "*.3D" as well as the lowercase versions to help people
796  who transfer files from MSDOS/MS Windows.
797
798* cavern: fixed bogus warning triggered by "*begin abc.def" (I'm not sure
799  that this should be valid, but the warning given wasn't appropriate).
800
801* Fixed scaling problem when reading PLT file (feet->metres conversion
802  factor was being applied backwards!)
803
804* Fixed potential problem when reading or writing a 3d file which couldn't
805  be opened.
806
807* Translate dots to spaces in survey names in Compass PLT files.
808
809* Better handling of PLT files which have a D command before any M command.
810
811* Updates to German and Italian translations.
812
813Changes in 1.0.9:
814
815* aven: Fixed jerky start when auto-rotation begins.
816
817* cavern: Fixed Direction reading - bug previously made it unusable.
818
819* (MS Windows version): cad3d: fixed broken PLT output (had a double CR at the
820  end of each line).
821
822* (Unix version): RPMs now have the docs in /usr/share/doc and the man pages
823  in /usr/share/man to conform with the FHS (and where RedHat packages put
824  them).
825
826* Updates to French, Spanish, Catalan, and Slovak translations.
827
828Changes in 1.0.8:
829
830* Slovak translation added; updated German, Catalan, and Spanish translations.
831
832* aven: reduced memory usage by around 25% and increased speed and
833  responsiveness.
834
835* aven: rate of rotation and switching between plan and elevation now adjusted
836  to the speed of redraw, so aven behaves in a similar way independent of the
837  speed of the computer or size of the survey.
838
839* aven: provide list of most recently loaded files (preserved between runs of
840  the program).
841
842* aven: settings for "Metric" and "Degrees" are preserved between runs.
843
844* aven: moved some menu items from "View" to "Controls" as they probably
845  belong there and the "View" menu was getting out of hand.
846
847* aven: cursor keys now translate cave in the same way the mouse does (i.e. now
848  work as in caverot and xcaverot).
849
850* aven: eliminated the "twinkling label" effect when dragging the cave with the
851  right mouse button.
852
853* aven: the measuring line moves much more smoothly now: the mouse cursor now
854  snaps to the nearest station, rather than just a near station; and when the
855  line moves, we now only redraw the affected area of the window.
856
857* aven: resolved annoying limit on zooming in on large surveys.  This was a
858  crude way of preventing random lines due to overflow in the windowing system.
859  Aven now clips lines itself at high zoom levels, and limits zoom in to
860  approximately 1mm/pixel.
861
862* aven: zoom in/out with keyboard wasn't subject to any limits - now restricted
863  to sane values as with zoom in/out with the mouse.
864
865* print*: added --raw switch to turn of info box, scale bar, and page footer.
866  This can be useful if you want to import the output into another application.
867
868* print*: improved output when --no-border is used.
869
870* printpcl/printdm: Added new .ini setting "font_bitmap" which allows the user
871  to choose between alternative fonts.  Current we supply "default" and "bold".
872
873* printps/printhpgl: Fixed --skip-blanks which would incorrectly skip non-blank
874  pages on rare occasions.
875
876* cavern: added support for BackCompass and BackClino.
877
878* cavern: implemented "*units clino percent".
879
880* cavern: added "*infer exports on".  Any stations seen while this is on will
881  have the necessary *export-s inferred when accessed from outside their
882  own survey.  This allows linking a survey which uses *export to one which
883  doesn't.  It's also useful for a maze cave where so many stations can
884  be linked to that listing them explicitly isn't desirable.
885
886* cavern: N-S, E-W, and vertical ranges now only count stations which are in
887  underground surveys.
888
889* cavern: *infer plumbs wasn't inferring -90 to be DOWN - fixed.
890
891* cavern: *infer was giving an internal error if the argument was unknown -
892  now it gives the correct error message.
893
894* cavern: fixed handling of omitted clino readings when OMIT is *set to be
895  different from MINUS and PLUS (new test omitclino).
896
897* cavern: fixed a bogus warning for any station which was only used in a line
898  of data which was rejected because of an error.
899
900* cavern: added error if the *units factor is zero (e.g. "*units tape 0 feet").
901
902* cavern: removed the ill-thought-out and never implemented LENGTHOUTPUT
903  and ANGLEOUTPUT quantities.
904
905* cavern: resolved mismatch between bcra5.svx and the default SDs, and the
906  odd values in bcra3.svx.  We are now interpreting the BCRA limits as 2
907  standard deviations (previously bcra5.svx used 3 sds, bcra3 used 3.33 sds for
908  tape and position, and .75 sds for compass and clino, and cavern used 1 sd
909  by default).
910
911* ChangeLog now only includes entries since the previous release (the full file
912  is 220K or so, and of interest to very few people).  MSDOS and MS Windows
913  versions now comfortably fit on a 1.44M floppy once again.
914
915* Test suite now checks that all programs will run successfully with "--help"
916  and with "--version".  This should avoid problems such as that which broke
917  the printer drivers in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
918
919* (Unix version): uninstalled binaries now use the path they are run with to
920  find support files, which means SURVEXHOME is no longer required, and has
921  been removed.
922
923Changes in 1.0.7:
924
925* print*: halted with a failed assertion in 1.0.4-1.0.6.
926
927Changes in 1.0.6:
928
929* aven: "Reverse Controls" now works as in xcaverot and caverot.
930
931* aven: free rotation mode (engage by pressing control while left dragging,
932  exit with Delete) improved.
933
934* aven: using File->Open when a file was already loaded caused a crash
935  if a station was "grey highlighted" in the survey tree - fixed.
936
937* aven: added hourglass for "find" operation.
938
939* aven: reenabled loading of files by drag-and-drop (accidentally disabled
940  in 1.0.4 and 1.0.5).
941
942* aven: improved handling of flat surveys (e.g. output of extend, surveys
943  with no clino information).
944
945* aven: surveys with stations but no legs no longer cause the labels and
946  crosses buttons to behave oddly.
947
948* aven: removed quite a bit of unused and superfluous code.
949
950* Spell-checked documentation.
951
952Changes in 1.0.5:
953
954* Fixed bug in img_open_survey() which could cause a crash if you tried to
955  open an unrecognised file (i.e. not .3d, .pos, .plt, or .xyz format).
956
957* North and East were the wrong way round when reading in .plt files.
958
959* cad3d: Improved .plt file output a little - there's probably enough file
960  structure for Compass to read them now.
961
962* Documentation updates.
963
964Changes in 1.0.4:
965
966* extend: previously only kept one name for an equated group of stations in the
967  extended .3d file; now keeps all the names.
968
969* cad3d: if an output filename is given, use its extension to pick the default
970  output format.
971
972* aven: movement with keyboard is now accelerated by Shift as in caverot.
973
974* print*: --no-borders fixed to work as documented; --no-cutlines added to
975  turn off the dashed lines where pages join on multi-page printouts.
976
977* aven: tracked down two uninitialised variables which seems to fix the
978  failure to load a survey on startup which some people have been experiencing
979  on Microsoft Windows.
980
981* aven: code cleaned up - should improve performance a little.
982
983* img routines: img_rewind() now returns a value indicating success/failure.
984
985* Improvements to .plt file reading, notably that distances in the file are
986  now interpreted as being in feet rather than metres.  Also .plt files should
987  now be recognised even with a different extension, and we cope with an odd
988  special case better.
989
990* Added support for reading CMAP XYZ files.  There are two variants of these
991  - the "shot" format is fully implemented, the "station" format currently
992  just reads the station names and positions - the legs are ignored (sadly
993  the sample files I have do not match the format specification).
994
995* (MacOS X version): aven: aven now builds on MacOS X - we just need to sort
996  out packaging now...
997
998* (MSDOS version): upgraded graphics library used to Allegro 4.0.1.
999
1000* Documentation updates.
1001
1002Changes in 1.0.3:
1003
1004* aven: you can now select distances to be displayed in feet (or miles when
1005  you zoom right out) instead of metres, and angles to be in grads instead
1006  of degrees.
1007
1008* aven: show altitude of mouse pointer when in elevation view.
1009
1010* cad3d: fixed bug which caused --plt to crash on some platforms.
1011
1012* print*: added "Printing to `XXX'..." message to say where output is being
1013  written.
1014
1015* Updated French translation; minor updates to other translations (mostly
1016  sorting out clashing menu shortcuts in aven).
1017
1018* (Unix version): assorted portability tweaks.
1019
1020Changes in 1.0.2:
1021
1022* printdm/printpcl/printwin: take notice of font_size_labels setting in
1023  print.ini etc.
1024
1025* cavern: Topofil can now be used with DIVING and CYLPOLAR styles; TOPOFIL
1026  style is now synonymous with NORMAL.
1027
1028* cavern: *INFER EQUATES and *DATA TOPOFIL now work together correctly.
1029
1030* cavern: *FIX with 3 standard deviations but no covariances now works.
1031
1032* (MacOS X version): command line programs now build.  We're working on Aven.
1033
1034* Updates to the Catalan and Spanish translations.
1035
1036* xcaverot: documented environmental variables XCAVEROT_INDICATOR_RADIUS and
1037  XCAVEROT_FONTNAME.
1038
1039* cad3d: added --plt option to produce crude approximation to Compass .plt
1040  files - should be good enough for reading into Carto.
1041
1042* img library enhanced to allow Compass .plt files to be read as if they were
1043  .3d files.
1044
1045Changes in 1.0.1:
1046
1047* (MS Windows version): printwin: fixed sizes of cross and page alignment
1048  ticks.
1049
1050* Updates to the Portuguese and Italian translations.
1051
1052Changes in 1.0.0:
1053
1054* Fixed --survey option supported by many programs which was broken in 0.99.
1055
1056* aven: altered colours of "fixed points" and "entrances" buttons to match
1057  the coloured blobs used to indicate them.
1058
1059* (MS Windows version): aven: changed current point highlighting in the
1060  survey tree to use a light grey background rather than bold (bold causes
1061  the text to "wriggle" as the highlight runs up or down).
1062
1063* (MS Windows version): file icons now have transparent backgrounds.
1064
1065* survex: removed conversion wrapper - you should use "cavern file.svx"
1066  instead of "survex file.svx".
1067
1068* (Unix version): GCC 2.95 sometimes fails with an internal error when trying
1069  to compile gfxcore.cc - if it does, the Makefile will now try recompiling
1070  with a lower optimisation level.
1071
1072* (Unix version): when doing an "in directory" build from source, the HTML
1073  manual is now installed in its own subdirectory as when doing a non
1074  "in directory" build.
1075
1076* German translation now completely up-to-date.
Note: See TracBrowser for help on using the repository browser.
