1Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-08-06):
2
3* aven:
4
5  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
6    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
7    Day.
8
9  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
10    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
11
12  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
13    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
14
15  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
16
17  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
18
19  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
20
21  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
22
23  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
24    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
25    Atkinson and myself.
26
27  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
28
29  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
30    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
31    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
32    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
33    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
34    survey.
35
36  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
37    lines on my netbook.
38
39  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
40    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
41    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
42
43  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
44    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
45    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
46    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
47
48* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
49  James Begley.
50
51* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
52
53Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
54
55* aven:
56
57  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
58    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
59    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
60    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
61    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
62    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
63    probably change in the future).
64
65  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
66    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
67    the survey tree root.
68
69  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
70    the view was recentred).
71
72  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
73    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
74    wrong direction).
75
76  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
77    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
78    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
79
80  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
81    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
82    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
83    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
84
85  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
86    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
87
88  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
89    addresses #60.
90
91  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
92
93  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
94    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
95    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
96
97  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
98
99  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
100    360 or down past 0.
101
102  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
103    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
104    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
105    real-valued ones.
106
107  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
108    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
109
110  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
111    Lynch.
112
113  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
114
115  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
116    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
117
118  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
119    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
120    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
121
122  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
123    should now work.
124
125* cavern:
126
127  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
128
129  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
130    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
131    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
132
133  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
134    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
135    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
136
137  + Fix check for end of version number array in *required.   We would check up
138    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
139    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
140    issue.
141
142  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
143    by patch from Colin Watson.
144
145  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
146
147* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
148
149* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
150  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
151
152* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
153  used in the same dataset.
154
155* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
156  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
157
158* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
159  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
160  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
161
162* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
163
164Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
165
166* aven:
167
168  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
169    cavern again.
170
171* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
172  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
173  location and use the same start menu folder.
174
175* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
176  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
177
178* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
179  by James Begley.
180
181Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
182
183* aven:
184
185  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
186    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
187    to address.
188
189  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
190    over the survey tree.
191
192  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
193
194  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
195    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
196
197  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
198    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
199    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
200    encoded.
201
202  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
203    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
204    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
205    terminals which do still support this.
206
207  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
208    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
209
210* cavern:
211
212  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
213    Edwards (see #78).
214
215  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
216    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
217    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
218    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
219
220  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
221    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
222    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
223
224  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
225    from Pete Smart (see #69).
226
227* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
228  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
229  Black.
230
231* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
232
233* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
234  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
235  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
236  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
237  Black.
238
239* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
240  Black.
241
242* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
243
244* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
245
246* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
247
248* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
249
250* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
251
252* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
253  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
254
255* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
256  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
257  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
258
259* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
260  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
261  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
262  privileges or not.
263
264Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
265
266* aven:
267
268  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
269    Clipstone.
270
271  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
272    Reported by Jenny Black.
273
274  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
275    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
276    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
277
278  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
279    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
280    messages.
281
282  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
283    the terminal in 1.2.23.
284
285* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
286  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
287
288* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
289
290* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
291  by Wookey.
292
293Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
294
295* aven:
296
297  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
298    machines.
299
300  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
301
302  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
303    already being processed.
304
305  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
306    Reported by Martin Green.
307
308  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
309
310* cavern:
311
312  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
313    find the original survey notes).
314
315  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
316    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
317    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
318    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
319    progress display to be useful.
320
321* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
322
323* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
324  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
325
326* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
327  running cavern.
328
329* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
330  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
331  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
332
333Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
334
335* aven:
336
337  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
338    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
339    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
340    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
341    finding this fix.
342
343* cavern:
344
345  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
346
347  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
348    station.
349
350  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
351    *export.
352
353Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
354
355* aven:
356
357  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
358    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
359    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
360
361  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
362
363  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
364    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
365    does.
366
367  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
368    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
369
370  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
371    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
372
373  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
374    as appropriate.
375
376  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
377    values on Windows.
378
379* cavern:
380
381  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
382    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
383    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
384
385  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
386    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
387
388  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
389    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
390    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
391    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
392
393  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
394    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
395    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
396    Atkinson.
397
398  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
399    actual error rather than on a separate line.
400
401  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
402    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
403    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
404    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
405
406  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
407    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
408    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
409
410* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
411  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
412  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
413  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
414
415* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
416
417* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
418  "*DECLINATION" command.
419
420* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
421  Reported by Jenny Black.
422
423* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
424  documentation.
425
426* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
427  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
428
429* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
430
431* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
432
433Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
434
435* aven:
436
437  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
438    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
439    the same or very similar by default.
440
441  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
442    Maynard.
443
444  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
445
446  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
447
448  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
449    away.
450
451  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
452
453  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
454    display it.
455
456* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
457  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
458  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
459  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
460
461* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
462
463* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
464  before 1.2.19.
465
466* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
467  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
468
469* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
470
471* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
472  disk image.
473
474* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
475
476* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
477  libav features we don't use.
478
479* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
480  a load of libav features we don't use.
481
482* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
483  message in the installer.
484
485Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
486
487* aven:
488
489  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
490    the exported file in 1.2.18.
491
492  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
493
494  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
495    exit full screen mode.
496
497  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
498    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
499    using since 1.2.7).
500
501  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
502    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
503    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
504    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
505    St. Lawrence.
506
507  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
508    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
509
510  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
511    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
512    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
513
514  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
515    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
516    case like we do on other platforms.
517
518  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
519
520  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
521    support multi-monitor setups.
522
523  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
524    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
525
526  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
527    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
528
529  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
530    cases.
531
532  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
533    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
534    Erin Lynch)
535
536  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
537    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
538    items in in so it uses the full width.
539
540  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
541    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
542    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
543    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
544    window.
545
546  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
547    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
548    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
549    only relevant on the first ever run.
550
551* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
552
553* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
554  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
555  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
556  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
557  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
558  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
559
560* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
561  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
562
563Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
564
565* aven:
566
567  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
568    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
569    rendering it as a transparent surface.
570
571  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
572    sanely want to perform from the menu.
573
574  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
575    colouring options.
576
577  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
578
579  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
580    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
581    pressing "Escape".
582
583  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
584    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
585
586  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
587    exporting.
588
589  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
590
591  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
592    is quite likely to change.
593
594  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
595    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
596
597  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
598    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
599    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
600
601  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
602
603  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
604    markers in orange.
605
606  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
607    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
608
609  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
610    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
611    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
612    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
613    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
614    them would be better.
615
616  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
617    Gee.
618
619  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
620    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
621    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
622
623  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
624
625* cavern:
626
627  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
628    susscorfa).
629
630  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
631    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
632
633  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
634
635  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
636    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
637
638  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
639    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
640
641* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
642
643* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
644  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
645  in a modern desktop.
646
647* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
648  the filename in the error message.
649
650* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
651  most complete translations.
652
653* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
654
655* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
656  lacks them.
657
658* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
659
660* Manual:
661
662  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
663    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
664
665  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
666
667  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
668
669  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
670    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
671    available for download.
672
673* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
674  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
675  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
676
677* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
678
679* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
680
681Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
682
683* MacOS X version:
684
685  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
686
687  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
688
689  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
690
691  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
692
693  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
694    currently do this for us.
695
696  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
697
698  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
699
700  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
701
702  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
703    OS X cursor.
704
705  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
706    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
707    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
708    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
709    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
710    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
711    with TextEdit.app for example).
712
713  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
714    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
715
716  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
717
718  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
719    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
720
721  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
722    Riggs.
723
724  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
725    space.
726
727  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
728
729  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
730    10.10.1.
731
732  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
733    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
734    errors.
735
736  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
737    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
738    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
739    wxWidgets build supports by default.
740
741  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
742
743* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
744  treat as a single leg.
745
746* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
747
748* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
749
750* aven:
751
752  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
753    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
754
755  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
756    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
757    1:500).
758
759  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
760    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
761    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
762    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
763
764  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
765    there rather than the two animations fighting.
766
767  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
768    fast.
769
770  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
771    when rotating).
772
773  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
774    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
775
776* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
777  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
778
779* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
780
781* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
782
783* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
784
785* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
786
787* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
788  we're using git.
789
790* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
791
792  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
793    compass.
794
795  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
796
797  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
798
799Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
800
801* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
802
803* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
804
805* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
806
807* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
808  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
809
810* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
811
812* tests/: Improve test coverage.
813
814* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
815  Greek and Polish.
816
817* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
818  by Martin Sluka.
819
820* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
821  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
822
823Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
824
825* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
826  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
827  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
828  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
829  for *cs has also been improved.
830
831* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
832  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
833  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
834  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
835
836* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
837  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
838  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
839  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
840  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
841
842* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
843  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
844  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
845
846* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
847
848* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
849
850* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
851  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
852  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
853
854* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
855  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
856
857Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
858
859* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
860  system in use in 3d v8 files.
861
862* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
863  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
864  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
865  export dialog.
866
867* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
868  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
869  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
870  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
871  rather than having one corner there.
872
873* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
874  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
875
876* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
877  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
878
879* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
880  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
881  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
882
883* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
884  such as 64-bit Linux.
885
886* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
887  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
888
889* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
890  64-bit platforms.
891
892* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
893  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
894  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
895
896* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
897  the space available in the aven UI.
898
899* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
900  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
901  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
902
903* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
904  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
905
906* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
907  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
908  about unconnected surveys.
909
910* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
911  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
912
913* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
914  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
915  freed memory.
916
917* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
918
919* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
920
921* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
922
923* Fix a compiler warning.
924
925* Improve test coverage.
926
927Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
928
929* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
930  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
931  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
932
933* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
934  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
935  Hugh St Lawrence.
936
937* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
938  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
939  with using aven on a touch screen device.
940
941* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
942  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
943
944* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
945  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
946
947* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
948  off and back on.
949
950* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
951  up time a little.
952
953* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
954  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
955
956* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
957  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
958  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
959  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
960  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
961  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
962  situation too.
963
964* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
965  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
966  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
967
968* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
969
970* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
971
972* Minor translation updates to French.
973
974* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
975
976* Testsuite improvements:
977
978  + Test that "..." anon station works.
979
980  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
981    fail and give an error count.
982
983  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
984
985Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
986
987* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
988  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
989  Clipstone.
990
991* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
992
993* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
994
995  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
996    overlap the scale bar ticks.
997
998  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
999    clipping the border in print preview.
1000
1001  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
1002
1003* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
1004  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
1005
1006* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
1007  available.
1008
1009* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
1010
1011* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
1012
1013* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
1014  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
1015
1016* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
1017  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
1018
1019* Various translation updates.
1020
1021Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
1022
1023* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
1024  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
1025
1026* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
1027  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
1028  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
1029  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
1030
1031* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
1032  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
1033
1034* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
1035  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
1036
1037* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
1038  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
1039
1040* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
1041  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1042
1043* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
1044  box".
1045
1046* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
1047
1048* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
1049  indicators.
1050
1051* aven: All length units are now translatable.
1052
1053* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
1054  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
1055  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
1056
1057* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
1058  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
1059  measurably slower.
1060
1061* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
1062  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
1063
1064* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
1065  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
1066
1067* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
1068  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
1069  from Therion and elsewhere.
1070
1071* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
1072  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
1073  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
1074
1075* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
1076  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
1077
1078* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
1079  A. Riggs for his work on this.
1080
1081* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
1082  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
1083
1084* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
1085
1086* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
1087  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
1088  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
1089  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
1090  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
1091  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1092
1093* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
1094
1095Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
1096
1097* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
1098  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
1099  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
1100  Clipstone.
1101
1102* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
1103  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
1104
1105* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
1106  exported SVG files.
1107
1108* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
1109
1110* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
1111  file.
1112
1113* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
1114  GPX files.
1115
1116* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
1117
1118* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
1119  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
1120
1121* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
1122  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
1123  on startup.
1124
1125* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
1126
1127* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
1128  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
1129  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
1130  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
1131  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
1132  other extensions.
1133
1134* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
1135  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
1136  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
1137  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
1138  timezone wrong.
1139
1140* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
1141
1142* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
1143  'SURVEY DATE:'.
1144
1145* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
1146
1147* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
1148
1149* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
1150  enabled.
1151
1152Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
1153
1154* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
1155
1156* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
1157
1158* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
1159
1160* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
1161  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
1162  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
1163
1164* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
1165  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
1166  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
1167
1168* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
1169  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
1170
1171* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
1172
1173* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
1174
1175* Fix some compiler warnings.
1176
1177Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
1178
1179* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
1180  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
1181  Holder.
1182
1183* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
1184  statistics when the value gets large.
1185
1186* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
1187  equations.
1188
1189* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
1190  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
1191  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
1192  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
1193  better when the "View" box is hidden.
1194
1195* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
1196  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1197
1198* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
1199  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
1200  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
1201  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
1202  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
1203  way is coming soon.
1204
1205* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
1206  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
1207
1208* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
1209  time ago, so update references.
1210
1211* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
1212  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1213
1214* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
1215  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
1216
1217* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
1218  Sebastian Ramacher.
1219
1220* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
1221
1222* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
1223
1224* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
1225
1226* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
1227
1228* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
1229
1230* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
1231  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
1232  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
1233
1234* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
1235
1236* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
1237
1238* img library:
1239
1240  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
1241    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
1242    reading).
1243
1244  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
1245    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
1246
1247  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
1248    support these as an extension.
1249
1250  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
1251
1252* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
1253  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
1254  itself has any translations for.
1255
1256* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
1257
1258* Minor translation updates.
1259
1260* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
1261
1262Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
1263
1264* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
1265  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
1266  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
1267  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
1268  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
1269  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
1270  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
1271  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
1272
1273* New version 8 of the 3d format:
1274
1275  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
1276
1277  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
1278    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
1279
1280  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
1281    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
1282
1283  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
1284
1285  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
1286    human-readable string.
1287
1288  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
1289    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
1290
1291* img library:
1292
1293  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
1294
1295  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
1296    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
1297
1298  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
1299    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
1300    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
1301    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
1302    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
1303    explicitly in the file.
1304
1305  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
1306
1307* aven:
1308
1309  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
1310    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
1311    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
1312    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
1313    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
1314    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
1315
1316  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
1317    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
1318    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
1319    queued up.
1320
1321  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
1322    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
1323
1324  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
1325    them like other legs.
1326
1327  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
1328    station names to positions.
1329
1330  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
1331    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
1332    wrongly.
1333
1334  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
1335
1336  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
1337    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
1338    that's used by the desktop).
1339
1340  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
1341
1342  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
1343    error from cavern.
1344
1345  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
1346
1347  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
1348    in the dialog in sync.
1349
1350* cavern:
1351
1352  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
1353    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
1354    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
1355
1356  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
1357    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
1358
1359  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
1360    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
1361    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
1362    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
1363    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
1364    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
1365    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
1366    degrees.
1367
1368  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
1369    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
1370    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
1371
1372  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
1373
1374  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
1375    warnings.
1376
1377  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
1378    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
1379
1380  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
1381    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
1382
1383  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
1384    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
1385    relevant.
1386
1387  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
1388    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
1389    the same line.
1390
1391  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
1392    "End of line not blank" error.
1393
1394  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
1395    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
1396
1397  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
1398    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
1399
1400  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
1401    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
1402    include that character in the token reported.
1403
1404  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
1405    first item.
1406
1407* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
1408
1409* dump3d:
1410
1411  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
1412    info from 3d files in scripts.
1413
1414  + Add --show-dates option.
1415
1416  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
1417
1418  + Report the data style of legs.
1419
1420  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
1421
1422  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
1423
1424* Test suite:
1425
1426  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
1427    expected output so it passes reliably.
1428
1429  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
1430    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
1431
1432  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
1433    for more.
1434
1435* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
1436  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
1437  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
1438
1439* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
1440  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
1441
1442* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
1443  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
1444
1445* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
1446  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
1447  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
1448  settings.
1449
1450* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
1451  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
1452  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
1453  set correctly.
1454
1455* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
1456  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
1457  them to translate.
1458
1459* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
1460  close to complete.
1461
1462* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
1463
1464* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
1465
1466* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
1467
1468Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
1469
1470* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
1471
1472* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
1473  package (ticket#35).
1474
1475* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
1476  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
1477  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
1478
1479* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
1480  Kahler.
1481
1482* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
1483  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
1484  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
1485  libproj and build survex with:
1486
1487      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1488      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1489
1490* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
1491
1492* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
1493
1494* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
1495  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
1496  file".
1497
1498Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
1499
1500* aven:
1501
1502  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
1503
1504  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
1505    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
1506
1507  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
1508
1509  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
1510
1511  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
1512    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
1513
1514* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
1515  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
1516  error early on).
1517
1518* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
1519  the man page source as well as in the filename.
1520
1521Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
1522
1523* aven:
1524
1525  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
1526    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
1527    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
1528    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
1529
1530  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
1531    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
1532
1533  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
1534
1535  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
1536
1537  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
1538
1539* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
1540
1541Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
1542
1543* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
1544
1545* (Mac OS X version):
1546
1547  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
1548
1549  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
1550
1551  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
1552    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
1553
1554  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
1555
1556* aven:
1557
1558  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
1559
1560  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
1561
1562    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
1563      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
1564      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
1565      character.
1566
1567    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
1568      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
1569      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
1570      and two in a few cases.
1571
1572    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
1573      8 pixels.
1574
1575  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
1576    draw crosses.
1577
1578  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
1579    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
1580    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
1581    is the start or end of a tube.
1582
1583  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
1584    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
1585
1586  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
1587    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
1588    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
1589
1590* extend:
1591
1592  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
1593
1594  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
1595    which means "no info").
1596
1597* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
1598  was no longer used - it certainly is!
1599
1600* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
1601  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
1602  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
1603  current character set.
1604
1605* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
1606
1607* Test suite:
1608
1609  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
1610
1611  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
1612
1613Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
1614
1615* aven:
1616
1617  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
1618    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
1619    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
1620    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
1621    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
1622    usable format.
1623
1624  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
1625    files.  (ticket#26)
1626
1627  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
1628    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
1629
1630  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
1631    using lines.
1632
1633  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
1634    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
1635
1636  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
1637    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
1638    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
1639    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
1640
1641  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
1642    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
1643    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
1644
1645  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
1646    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
1647    in 1.2.1.
1648
1649Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
1650
1651* Translation updates for US English.
1652
1653* aven:
1654
1655  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
1656    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
1657
1658  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
1659
1660  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
1661    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
1662    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
1663    visually similar to the survey legs.
1664
1665  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
1666    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
1667
1668  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
1669    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
1670    does still provide some useful information).
1671
1672  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
1673    a depth band boundary.
1674
1675  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
1676    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
1677    full-screen mode).
1678
1679  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
1680    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
1681    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
1682    are a little better, though still not perfect.
1683
1684  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
1685    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
1686
1687  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
1688    that station.
1689
1690  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
1691    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
1692
1693  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
1694    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
1695    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
1696    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
1697    a case as it is a bug).
1698
1699  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
1700    invalidated on window width or height changes.
1701
1702  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
1703    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
1704    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
1705    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
1706
1707  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
1708    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
1709    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
1710    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
1711    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
1712    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
1713    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
1714
1715  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
1716    similarly for other compass points.
1717
1718  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
1719    info in the "About" dialog.
1720
1721  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
1722    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
1723
1724  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
1725    as well as still working with older versions.
1726
1727  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
1728    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
1729
1730  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
1731    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
1732    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
1733    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
1734    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
1735
1736  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
1737    nicer and make better use of the available space.
1738
1739  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
1740    dialog.
1741
1742  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
1743    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
1744
1745  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
1746    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
1747
1748  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
1749
1750  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
1751
1752  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
1753    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
1754    being pressed and toggle full screen.
1755
1756* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
1757  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
1758
1759* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
1760
1761* More messages are now available to be translated.
1762
1763* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
1764  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
1765
1766* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
1767
1768* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
1769  sudo for installing on Unix.
1770
1771* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
1772  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
1773
1774* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
1775  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
1776
1777* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1778
1779Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
1780
1781* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
1782  English.
1783
1784* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
1785  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
1786  case.
1787
1788* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
1789  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
1790  these into Survex's .msg format.
1791
1792* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
1793  an actual command).
1794
1795* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
1796  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
1797  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
1798  recurrence of that).
1799
1800* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
1801  than /usr/doc/survex.
1802
1803* aven:
1804
1805  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
1806
1807  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
1808    nicer at larger sizes.
1809
1810  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
1811    with GLX >= 1.3.
1812
1813  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
1814
1815  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
1816    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
1817    required libraries set up for building releases.
1818
1819  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
1820
1821  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
1822
1823  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
1824    rendered with icons on some platforms.
1825
1826  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
1827    ISO8859-1).
1828
1829  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
1830    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
1831
1832  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
1833    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
1834
1835* cavern:
1836
1837  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
1838    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
1839    fatal error!
1840
1841  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
1842    format to output.  (ticket#21)
1843
1844* img library:
1845
1846  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
1847    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
1848
1849* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
1850  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
1851
1852Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
1853
1854* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
1855  Portuguese, and US English.
1856
1857* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
1858  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
1859
1860* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
1861  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
1862
1863* img.c:
1864
1865  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
1866
1867  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
1868
1869* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
1870
1871* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
1872  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
1873  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
1874  translated.
1875
1876Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
1877
1878* aven:
1879
1880  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
1881    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
1882
1883  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
1884    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
1885    addresses ticket#12.
1886
1887  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
1888    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
1889    consistent shape.
1890
1891  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
1892    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
1893    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
1894    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
1895
1896  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
1897    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
1898
1899  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
1900
1901  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
1902    more places.
1903
1904  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
1905    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
1906
1907* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
1908
1909* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
1910  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
1911
1912* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
1913
1914* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
1915  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
1916  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
1917  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
1918  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
1919  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
1920
1921* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
1922  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
1923  redirecting to it.
1924
1925* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
1926  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
1927  I/O).
1928
1929* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
1930  headers.
1931
1932* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
1933
1934* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
1935  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
1936
1937* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
1938
1939Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
1940
1941* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
1942
1943* aven:
1944
1945  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
1946    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
1947    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
1948    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
1949
1950  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
1951
1952  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
1953    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
1954    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
1955    a number.
1956
1957  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
1958    log window.
1959
1960  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
1961    various cases.
1962
1963  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
1964    (ticket#9)
1965
1966  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
1967    namespace with its own "Point" class.
1968
1969  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
1970    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
1971
1972  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
1973
1974  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
1975    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
1976
1977* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
1978  give them before.
1979
1980* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
1981  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
1982  point looking for them now.
1983
1984* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
1985  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
1986  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
1987  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
1988
1989* manual:
1990
1991  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
1992
1993  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
1994    (change taken from 1.0).
1995
1996* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
1997
1998Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
1999
2000* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
2001
2002* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
2003
2004* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
2005
2006* aven:
2007
2008  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
2009
2010  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
2011    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
2012    seem to be Unicode now).
2013
2014  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
2015    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
2016
2017  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
2018    text on the survey pane:
2019
2020    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
2021
2022    - Character spacing is improved.
2023
2024    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
2025
2026  + "About" dialog:
2027
2028    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
2029      bug reporting.
2030
2031    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
2032      modern gfx card.
2033
2034    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
2035
2036  + Processing .svx files:
2037
2038    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
2039
2040    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
2041      than opening a separate frame for it.
2042
2043    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
2044
2045    - Fix small memory leak.
2046
2047  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
2048    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
2049    such a name.
2050
2051  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
2052
2053  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
2054    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
2055    invocations.
2056
2057  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
2058
2059  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
2060
2061  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
2062
2063* Documentation:
2064
2065  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
2066
2067  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
2068    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
2069    together isn't very useful.
2070
2071  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
2072
2073  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
2074    the FSF website.
2075
2076  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
2077    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
2078    the source code.
2079
2080* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
2081  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
2082
2083* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
2084  package from the source tarball.
2085
2086* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
2087  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
2088
2089Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
2090
2091* aven:
2092
2093  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
2094
2095  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
2096
2097  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
2098    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
2099    names/crosses).
2100
2101Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
2102
2103* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
2104
2105* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
2106
2107* aven:
2108
2109  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
2110
2111  + Fix character spacing.
2112
2113  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
2114    proportional fonts.
2115
2116  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
2117    rather than the filename.
2118
2119  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
2120
2121  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
2122    depth colouring.
2123
2124  + Add "Colour by Error".
2125
2126  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
2127
2128  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
2129
2130  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
2131
2132  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
2133
2134  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
2135
2136  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
2137
2138  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
2139
2140  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
2141    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
2142
2143  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
2144
2145  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
2146    default.
2147
2148* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
2149  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
2150
2151* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
2152  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
2153
2154* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
2155
2156* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
2157
2158Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
2159
2160* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
2161  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
2162  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
2163  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
2164  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
2165
2166* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
2167  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
2168  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
2169
2170* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
2171  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
2172  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
2173
2174* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
2175  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
2176  allowed).
2177
2178* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
2179
2180* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
2181
2182* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
2183
2184Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
2185
2186* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
2187  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
2188
2189* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
2190  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
2191  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
2192
2193* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
2194  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
2195  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
2196  the new "*data passage" style.
2197
2198* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
2199  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
2200
2201* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
2202  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
2203  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
2204  some cases.
2205
2206* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
2207  with no survey loaded.
2208
2209* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
2210
2211* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
2212  loaded a survey.
2213
2214* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
2215
2216* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
2217
2218* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
2219  doesn't exist.
2220
2221* Updated French and Italian translations.
2222
2223* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
2224  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
2225
2226* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
2227  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
2228  update their copy).
2229
2230* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
2231  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
2232  trying to compile).
2233
2234Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
2235
2236* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
2237  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
2238
2239* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
2240  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
2241  has been disabled.
2242
2243* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
2244  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
2245  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
2246  time.
2247
2248* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
2249  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
2250  highlighted stations.
2251
2252* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
2253
2254* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
2255  the tilt from plan to elevation.
2256
2257* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
2258  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
2259
2260* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
2261  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
2262  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
2263
2264* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
2265  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
2266
2267* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
2268
2269* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
2270
2271* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
2272
2273* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
2274  run by an unprivileged user.
2275
2276* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
2277  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
2278  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
2279
2280* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
2281  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
2282
2283* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
2284
2285* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
2286  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
2287
2288* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
2289  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
2290
2291* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
2292  if it isn't.
2293
2294* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
2295  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
2296
2297* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
2298  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
2299
2300* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
2301  reset to default view as well).
2302
2303* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
2304  empty.
2305
2306* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
2307  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
2308
2309* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
2310  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
2311  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
2312
2313* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
2314  and non-zero width lines.
2315
2316* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
2317  was turned on.
2318
2319* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
2320  not always being fully written.
2321
2322Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
2323
2324* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
2325  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
2326  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
2327  date near the middle of that period).
2328
2329* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
2330  with MS Windows).
2331
2332* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
2333  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
2334  several surveys in the same directory).
2335
2336* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
2337  our check for them to include that knowledge.
2338
2339* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
2340
2341* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
2342  moved off a station.
2343
2344* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
2345  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
2346
2347* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
2348
2349* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
2350  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
2351
2352* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
2353  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
2354  dialogs.
2355
2356* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
2357  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
2358
2359* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
2360  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
2361  introduced in 1.1.6).
2362
2363* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
2364  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
2365  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
2366
2367* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
2368  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
2369
2370* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
2371
2372* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
2373
2374Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
2375
2376* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
2377  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
2378
2379* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
2380  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
2381  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
2382  3d file.
2383
2384* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
2385
2386* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
2387
2388* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
2389  Instead turn off depth colouring.
2390
2391* aven: Export as HPGL added.
2392
2393* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
2394  Martin Green).
2395
2396* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
2397  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
2398  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
2399
2400* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
2401
2402* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
2403  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
2404
2405* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
2406  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
2407  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
2408  of everything else.
2409
2410* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
2411  presentation icons.
2412
2413* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
2414  keyboard focus there.
2415
2416* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
2417
2418* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
2419
2420* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
2421
2422* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
2423
2424* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
2425  language to use for messages.
2426
2427* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
2428  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
2429
2430* Removed old printer drivers.
2431
2432* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
2433  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
2434
2435Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
2436
2437* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
2438
2439* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
2440
2441* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
2442  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
2443
2444* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
2445  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
2446
2447* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
2448
2449* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
2450  underground legs is toggled.
2451
2452* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
2453  attached to the previous data.
2454
2455* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
2456  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
2457  them.
2458
2459Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
2460
2461* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
2462
2463* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
2464  continental European countries).
2465
2466* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
2467  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
2468  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
2469
2470* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
2471
2472* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
2473  they're needed.
2474
2475* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
2476
2477* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
2478
2479* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
2480
2481* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
2482  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
2483  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
2484
2485* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
2486
2487Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
2488
2489* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
2490
2491* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
2492
2493* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
2494
2495* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
2496
2497* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
2498
2499* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
2500
2501* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
2502  when there's a presentation loaded.
2503
2504* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
2505  in cave view.
2506
2507* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
2508
2509* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
2510  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
2511  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
2512
2513* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
2514  filename for file history and window title.
2515
2516* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
2517  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
2518  only needed with GTK1.2.
2519
2520* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
2521
2522* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
2523
2524* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
2525
2526* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
2527
2528Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
2529
2530* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
2531  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
2532  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
2533
2534* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
2535  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
2536
2537* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
2538  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
2539  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
2540  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
2541
2542* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
2543
2544* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
2545  with --help and --version.
2546
2547* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
2548  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
2549  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
2550  Fixed all these problems.
2551
2552* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
2553  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
2554  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
2555
2556* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
2557  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
2558  sources.
2559
2560* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
2561
2562* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
2563
2564* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
2565  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
2566
2567* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
2568  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
2569  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
2570  animating.
2571
2572* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
2573
2574* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
2575
2576* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
2577  to this branch.
2578
2579* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
2580
2581  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
2582
2583  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
2584
2585  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
2586
2587* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
2588
2589* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
2590  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
2591
2592* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
2593
2594* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
2595  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
2596
2597* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
2598
2599* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
2600  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
2601  for anyone building from CVS).
2602
2603* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
2604
2605* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
2606
2607* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
2608
2609* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
2610
2611* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
2612  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
2613  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
2614
2615* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
2616  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
2617
2618* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
2619
2620* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
2621  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
2622  loaded).
2623
2624* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
2625
2626Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
2627
2628* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
2629  startup.
2630
2631* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
2632  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
2633
2634Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
2635
2636* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
2637  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
2638  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
2639
2640* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
2641  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
2642  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
2643
2644* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
2645  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
2646  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
2647
2648* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
2649
2650* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
2651  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
2652
2653* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
2654  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
2655
2656* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
2657  better use of screen space.
2658
2659* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
2660
2661* aven: Perspective view.
2662
2663* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
2664
2665* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
2666  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
2667
2668* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
2669  and load/save/run them.
2670
2671* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
2672
2673* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
2674
2675* aven: Depth fogging option.
2676
2677* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
2678
2679* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
2680
2681* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
2682  showing the surface legs.
2683
2684* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
