File size: 106.2 KB
Line 
1Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
2
3* aven:
4
5  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
6    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
7
8  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
9    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
10
11* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
12  Lynch and "detrito".
13
14* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
15  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
16
17Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
18
19* cavern:
20
21  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
22    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
23    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
24    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
25    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
26
27  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
28
29  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
30
31  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
32    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
33    degrees).
34
35* aven:
36
37  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
38    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
39    Day.
40
41  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
42    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
43
44  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
45    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
46
47  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
48    of the line in cavern log window.
49
50  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
51
52  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
53
54  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
55    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
56    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
57    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
58    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
59
60  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
61    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
62    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
63
64  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
65
66  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
67
68  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
69    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
70    Atkinson and myself.
71
72  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
73
74  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
75    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
76    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
77    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
78    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
79    survey.
80
81  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
82    lines on my netbook.
83
84  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
85    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
86    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
87
88  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
89    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
90    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
91    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
92    glitches.
93
94  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
95    we currently list, though slower to write.
96
97  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
98    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
99
100  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
101    warnings when building against a recent version.
102
103  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
104    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
105    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
106    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
107
108  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
109    movie export.
110
111  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
112    export.
113
114* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
115  James Begley.
116
117* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
118  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
119
120* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
121
122* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
123  messages get used automatically.
124
125* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
126  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
127
128* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
129
130* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
131
132* Use https for more URLs which support it.
133
134Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
135
136* aven:
137
138  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
139    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
140    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
141    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
142    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
143    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
144    probably change in the future).
145
146  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
147    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
148    the survey tree root.
149
150  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
151    the view was recentred).
152
153  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
154    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
155    wrong direction).
156
157  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
158    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
159    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
160
161  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
162    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
163    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
164    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
165
166  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
167    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
168
169  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
170    addresses #60.
171
172  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
173
174  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
175    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
176    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
177
178  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
179
180  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
181    360 or down past 0.
182
183  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
184    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
185    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
186    real-valued ones.
187
188  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
189    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
190
191  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
192    Lynch.
193
194  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
195
196  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
197    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
198
199  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
200    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
201    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
202
203  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
204    should now work.
205
206* cavern:
207
208  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
209
210  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
211    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
212    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
213
214  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
215    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
216    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
217
218  + Fix check for end of version number array in *required.   We would check up
219    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
220    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
221    issue.
222
223  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
224    by patch from Colin Watson.
225
226  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
227
228* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
229
230* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
231  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
232
233* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
234  used in the same dataset.
235
236* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
237  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
238
239* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
240  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
241  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
242
243* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
244
245Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
246
247* aven:
248
249  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
250    cavern again.
251
252* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
253  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
254  location and use the same start menu folder.
255
256* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
257  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
258
259* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
260  by James Begley.
261
262Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
263
264* aven:
265
266  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
267    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
268    to address.
269
270  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
271    over the survey tree.
272
273  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
274
275  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
276    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
277
278  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
279    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
280    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
281    encoded.
282
283  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
284    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
285    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
286    terminals which do still support this.
287
288  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
289    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
290
291* cavern:
292
293  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
294    Edwards (see #78).
295
296  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
297    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
298    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
299    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
300
301  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
302    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
303    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
304
305  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
306    from Pete Smart (see #69).
307
308* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
309  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
310  Black.
311
312* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
313
314* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
315  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
316  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
317  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
318  Black.
319
320* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
321  Black.
322
323* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
324
325* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
326
327* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
328
329* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
330
331* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
332
333* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
334  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
335
336* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
337  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
338  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
339
340* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
341  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
342  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
343  privileges or not.
344
345Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
346
347* aven:
348
349  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
350    Clipstone.
351
352  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
353    Reported by Jenny Black.
354
355  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
356    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
357    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
358
359  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
360    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
361    messages.
362
363  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
364    the terminal in 1.2.23.
365
366* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
367  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
368
369* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
370
371* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
372  by Wookey.
373
374Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
375
376* aven:
377
378  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
379    machines.
380
381  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
382
383  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
384    already being processed.
385
386  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
387    Reported by Martin Green.
388
389  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
390
391* cavern:
392
393  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
394    find the original survey notes).
395
396  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
397    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
398    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
399    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
400    progress display to be useful.
401
402* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
403
404* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
405  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
406
407* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
408  running cavern.
409
410* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
411  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
412  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
413
414Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
415
416* aven:
417
418  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
419    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
420    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
421    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
422    finding this fix.
423
424* cavern:
425
426  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
427
428  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
429    station.
430
431  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
432    *export.
433
434Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
435
436* aven:
437
438  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
439    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
440    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
441
442  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
443
444  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
445    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
446    does.
447
448  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
449    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
450
451  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
452    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
453
454  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
455    as appropriate.
456
457  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
458    values on Windows.
459
460* cavern:
461
462  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
463    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
464    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
465
466  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
467    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
468
469  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
470    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
471    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
472    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
473
474  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
475    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
476    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
477    Atkinson.
478
479  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
480    actual error rather than on a separate line.
481
482  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
483    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
484    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
485    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
486
487  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
488    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
489    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
490
491* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
492  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
493  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
494  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
495
496* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
497
498* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
499  "*DECLINATION" command.
500
501* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
502  Reported by Jenny Black.
503
504* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
505  documentation.
506
507* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
508  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
509
510* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
511
512* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
513
514Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
515
516* aven:
517
518  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
519    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
520    the same or very similar by default.
521
522  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
523    Maynard.
524
525  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
526
527  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
528
529  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
530    away.
531
532  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
533
534  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
535    display it.
536
537* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
538  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
539  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
540  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
541
542* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
543
544* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
545  before 1.2.19.
546
547* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
548  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
549
550* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
551
552* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
553  disk image.
554
555* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
556
557* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
558  libav features we don't use.
559
560* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
561  a load of libav features we don't use.
562
563* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
564  message in the installer.
565
566Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
567
568* aven:
569
570  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
571    the exported file in 1.2.18.
572
573  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
574
575  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
576    exit full screen mode.
577
578  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
579    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
580    using since 1.2.7).
581
582  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
583    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
584    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
585    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
586    St. Lawrence.
587
588  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
589    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
590
591  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
592    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
593    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
594
595  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
596    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
597    case like we do on other platforms.
598
599  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
600
601  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
602    support multi-monitor setups.
603
604  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
605    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
606
607  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
608    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
609
610  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
611    cases.
612
613  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
614    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
615    Erin Lynch)
616
617  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
618    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
619    items in in so it uses the full width.
620
621  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
622    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
623    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
624    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
625    window.
626
627  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
628    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
629    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
630    only relevant on the first ever run.
631
632* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
633
634* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
635  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
636  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
637  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
638  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
639  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
640
641* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
642  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
643
644Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
645
646* aven:
647
648  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
649    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
650    rendering it as a transparent surface.
651
652  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
653    sanely want to perform from the menu.
654
655  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
656    colouring options.
657
658  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
659
660  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
661    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
662    pressing "Escape".
663
664  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
665    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
666
667  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
668    exporting.
669
670  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
671
672  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
673    is quite likely to change.
674
675  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
676    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
677
678  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
679    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
680    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
681
682  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
683
684  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
685    markers in orange.
686
687  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
688    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
689
690  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
691    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
692    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
693    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
694    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
695    them would be better.
696
697  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
698    Gee.
699
700  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
701    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
702    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
703
704  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
705
706* cavern:
707
708  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
709    susscorfa).
710
711  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
712    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
713
714  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
715
716  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
717    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
718
719  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
720    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
721
722* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
723
724* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
725  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
726  in a modern desktop.
727
728* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
729  the filename in the error message.
730
731* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
732  most complete translations.
733
734* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
735
736* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
737  lacks them.
738
739* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
740
741* Manual:
742
743  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
744    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
745
746  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
747
748  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
749
750  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
751    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
752    available for download.
753
754* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
755  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
756  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
757
758* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
759
760* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
761
762Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
763
764* MacOS X version:
765
766  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
767
768  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
769
770  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
771
772  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
773
774  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
775    currently do this for us.
776
777  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
778
779  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
780
781  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
782
783  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
784    OS X cursor.
785
786  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
787    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
788    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
789    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
790    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
791    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
792    with TextEdit.app for example).
793
794  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
795    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
796
797  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
798
799  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
800    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
801
802  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
803    Riggs.
804
805  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
806    space.
807
808  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
809
810  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
811    10.10.1.
812
813  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
814    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
815    errors.
816
817  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
818    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
819    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
820    wxWidgets build supports by default.
821
822  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
823
824* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
825  treat as a single leg.
826
827* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
828
829* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
830
831* aven:
832
833  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
834    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
835
836  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
837    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
838    1:500).
839
840  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
841    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
842    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
843    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
844
845  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
846    there rather than the two animations fighting.
847
848  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
849    fast.
850
851  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
852    when rotating).
853
854  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
855    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
856
857* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
858  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
859
860* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
861
862* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
863
864* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
865
866* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
867
868* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
869  we're using git.
870
871* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
872
873  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
874    compass.
875
876  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
877
878  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
879
880Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
881
882* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
883
884* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
885
886* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
887
888* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
889  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
890
891* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
892
893* tests/: Improve test coverage.
894
895* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
896  Greek and Polish.
897
898* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
899  by Martin Sluka.
900
901* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
902  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
903
904Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
905
906* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
907  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
908  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
909  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
910  for *cs has also been improved.
911
912* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
913  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
914  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
915  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
916
917* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
918  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
919  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
920  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
921  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
922
923* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
924  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
925  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
926
927* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
928
929* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
930
931* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
932  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
933  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
934
935* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
936  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
937
938Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
939
940* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
941  system in use in 3d v8 files.
942
943* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
944  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
945  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
946  export dialog.
947
948* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
949  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
950  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
951  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
952  rather than having one corner there.
953
954* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
955  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
956
957* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
958  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
959
960* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
961  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
962  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
963
964* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
965  such as 64-bit Linux.
966
967* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
968  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
969
970* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
971  64-bit platforms.
972
973* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
974  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
975  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
976
977* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
978  the space available in the aven UI.
979
980* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
981  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
982  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
983
984* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
985  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
986
987* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
988  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
989  about unconnected surveys.
990
991* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
992  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
993
994* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
995  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
996  freed memory.
997
998* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
999
1000* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
1001
1002* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
1003
1004* Fix a compiler warning.
1005
1006* Improve test coverage.
1007
1008Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
1009
1010* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
1011  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
1012  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
1013
1014* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
1015  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
1016  Hugh St Lawrence.
1017
1018* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
1019  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
1020  with using aven on a touch screen device.
1021
1022* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
1023  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
1024
1025* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
1026  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
1027
1028* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
1029  off and back on.
1030
1031* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
1032  up time a little.
1033
1034* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
1035  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
1036
1037* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
1038  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
1039  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
1040  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
1041  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
1042  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
1043  situation too.
1044
1045* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
1046  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
1047  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
1048
1049* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
1050
1051* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
1052
1053* Minor translation updates to French.
1054
1055* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
1056
1057* Testsuite improvements:
1058
1059  + Test that "..." anon station works.
1060
1061  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
1062    fail and give an error count.
1063
1064  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
1065
1066Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
1067
1068* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
1069  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
1070  Clipstone.
1071
1072* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
1073
1074* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
1075
1076  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
1077    overlap the scale bar ticks.
1078
1079  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
1080    clipping the border in print preview.
1081
1082  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
1083
1084* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
1085  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
1086
1087* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
1088  available.
1089
1090* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
1091
1092* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
1093
1094* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
1095  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
1096
1097* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
1098  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
1099
1100* Various translation updates.
1101
1102Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
1103
1104* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
1105  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
1106
1107* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
1108  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
1109  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
1110  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
1111
1112* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
1113  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
1114
1115* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
1116  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
1117
1118* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
1119  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
1120
1121* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
1122  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1123
1124* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
1125  box".
1126
1127* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
1128
1129* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
1130  indicators.
1131
1132* aven: All length units are now translatable.
1133
1134* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
1135  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
1136  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
1137
1138* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
1139  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
1140  measurably slower.
1141
1142* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
1143  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
1144
1145* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
1146  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
1147
1148* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
1149  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
1150  from Therion and elsewhere.
1151
1152* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
1153  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
1154  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
1155
1156* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
1157  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
1158
1159* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
1160  A. Riggs for his work on this.
1161
1162* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
1163  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
1164
1165* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
1166
1167* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
1168  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
1169  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
1170  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
1171  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
1172  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1173
1174* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
1175
1176Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
1177
1178* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
1179  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
1180  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
1181  Clipstone.
1182
1183* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
1184  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
1185
1186* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
1187  exported SVG files.
1188
1189* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
1190
1191* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
1192  file.
1193
1194* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
1195  GPX files.
1196
1197* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
1198
1199* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
1200  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
1201
1202* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
1203  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
1204  on startup.
1205
1206* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
1207
1208* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
1209  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
1210  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
1211  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
1212  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
1213  other extensions.
1214
1215* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
1216  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
1217  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
1218  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
1219  timezone wrong.
1220
1221* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
1222
1223* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
1224  'SURVEY DATE:'.
1225
1226* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
1227
1228* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
1229
1230* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
1231  enabled.
1232
1233Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
1234
1235* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
1236
1237* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
1238
1239* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
1240
1241* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
1242  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
1243  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
1244
1245* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
1246  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
1247  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
1248
1249* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
1250  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
1251
1252* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
1253
1254* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
1255
1256* Fix some compiler warnings.
1257
1258Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
1259
1260* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
1261  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
1262  Holder.
1263
1264* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
1265  statistics when the value gets large.
1266
1267* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
1268  equations.
1269
1270* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
1271  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
1272  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
1273  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
1274  better when the "View" box is hidden.
1275
1276* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
1277  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1278
1279* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
1280  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
1281  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
1282  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
1283  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
1284  way is coming soon.
1285
1286* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
1287  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
1288
1289* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
1290  time ago, so update references.
1291
1292* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
1293  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1294
1295* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
1296  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
1297
1298* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
1299  Sebastian Ramacher.
1300
1301* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
1302
1303* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
1304
1305* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
1306
1307* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
1308
1309* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
1310
1311* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
1312  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
1313  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
1314
1315* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
1316
1317* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
1318
1319* img library:
1320
1321  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
1322    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
1323    reading).
1324
1325  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
1326    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
1327
1328  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
1329    support these as an extension.
1330
1331  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
1332
1333* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
1334  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
1335  itself has any translations for.
1336
1337* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
1338
1339* Minor translation updates.
1340
1341* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
1342
1343Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
1344
1345* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
1346  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
1347  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
1348  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
1349  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
1350  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
1351  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
1352  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
1353
1354* New version 8 of the 3d format:
1355
1356  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
1357
1358  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
1359    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
1360
1361  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
1362    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
1363
1364  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
1365
1366  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
1367    human-readable string.
1368
1369  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
1370    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
1371
1372* img library:
1373
1374  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
1375
1376  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
1377    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
1378
1379  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
1380    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
1381    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
1382    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
1383    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
1384    explicitly in the file.
1385
1386  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
1387
1388* aven:
1389
1390  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
1391    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
1392    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
1393    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
1394    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
1395    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
1396
1397  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
1398    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
1399    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
1400    queued up.
1401
1402  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
1403    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
1404
1405  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
1406    them like other legs.
1407
1408  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
1409    station names to positions.
1410
1411  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
1412    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
1413    wrongly.
1414
1415  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
1416
1417  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
1418    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
1419    that's used by the desktop).
1420
1421  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
1422
1423  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
1424    error from cavern.
1425
1426  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
1427
1428  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
1429    in the dialog in sync.
1430
1431* cavern:
1432
1433  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
1434    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
1435    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
1436
1437  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
1438    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
1439
1440  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
1441    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
1442    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
1443    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
1444    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
1445    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
1446    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
1447    degrees.
1448
1449  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
1450    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
1451    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
1452
1453  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
1454
1455  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
1456    warnings.
1457
1458  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
1459    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
1460
1461  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
1462    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
1463
1464  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
1465    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
1466    relevant.
1467
1468  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
1469    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
1470    the same line.
1471
1472  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
1473    "End of line not blank" error.
1474
1475  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
1476    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
1477
1478  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
1479    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
1480
1481  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
1482    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
1483    include that character in the token reported.
1484
1485  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
1486    first item.
1487
1488* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
1489
1490* dump3d:
1491
1492  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
1493    info from 3d files in scripts.
1494
1495  + Add --show-dates option.
1496
1497  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
1498
1499  + Report the data style of legs.
1500
1501  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
1502
1503  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
1504
1505* Test suite:
1506
1507  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
1508    expected output so it passes reliably.
1509
1510  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
1511    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
1512
1513  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
1514    for more.
1515
1516* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
1517  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
1518  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
1519
1520* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
1521  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
1522
1523* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
1524  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
1525
1526* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
1527  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
1528  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
1529  settings.
1530
1531* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
1532  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
1533  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
1534  set correctly.
1535
1536* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
1537  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
1538  them to translate.
1539
1540* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
1541  close to complete.
1542
1543* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
1544
1545* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
1546
1547* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
1548
1549Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
1550
1551* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
1552
1553* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
1554  package (ticket#35).
1555
1556* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
1557  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
1558  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
1559
1560* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
1561  Kahler.
1562
1563* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
1564  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
1565  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
1566  libproj and build survex with:
1567
1568      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1569      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1570
1571* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
1572
1573* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
1574
1575* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
1576  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
1577  file".
1578
1579Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
1580
1581* aven:
1582
1583  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
1584
1585  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
1586    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
1587
1588  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
1589
1590  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
1591
1592  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
1593    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
1594
1595* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
1596  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
1597  error early on).
1598
1599* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
1600  the man page source as well as in the filename.
1601
1602Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
1603
1604* aven:
1605
1606  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
1607    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
1608    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
1609    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
1610
1611  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
1612    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
1613
1614  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
1615
1616  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
1617
1618  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
1619
1620* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
1621
1622Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
1623
1624* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
1625
1626* (Mac OS X version):
1627
1628  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
1629
1630  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
1631
1632  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
1633    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
1634
1635  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
1636
1637* aven:
1638
1639  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
1640
1641  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
1642
1643    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
1644      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
1645      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
1646      character.
1647
1648    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
1649      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
1650      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
1651      and two in a few cases.
1652
1653    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
1654      8 pixels.
1655
1656  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
1657    draw crosses.
1658
1659  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
1660    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
1661    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
1662    is the start or end of a tube.
1663
1664  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
1665    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
1666
1667  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
1668    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
1669    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
1670
1671* extend:
1672
1673  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
1674
1675  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
1676    which means "no info").
1677
1678* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
1679  was no longer used - it certainly is!
1680
1681* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
1682  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
1683  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
1684  current character set.
1685
1686* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
1687
1688* Test suite:
1689
1690  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
1691
1692  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
1693
1694Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
1695
1696* aven:
1697
1698  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
1699    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
1700    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
1701    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
1702    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
1703    usable format.
1704
1705  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
1706    files.  (ticket#26)
1707
1708  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
1709    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
1710
1711  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
1712    using lines.
1713
1714  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
1715    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
1716
1717  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
1718    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
1719    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
1720    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
1721
1722  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
1723    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
1724    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
1725
1726  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
1727    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
1728    in 1.2.1.
1729
1730Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
1731
1732* Translation updates for US English.
1733
1734* aven:
1735
1736  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
1737    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
1738
1739  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
1740
1741  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
1742    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
1743    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
1744    visually similar to the survey legs.
1745
1746  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
1747    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
1748
1749  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
1750    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
1751    does still provide some useful information).
1752
1753  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
1754    a depth band boundary.
1755
1756  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
1757    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
1758    full-screen mode).
1759
1760  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
1761    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
1762    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
1763    are a little better, though still not perfect.
1764
1765  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
1766    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
1767
1768  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
1769    that station.
1770
1771  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
1772    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
1773
1774  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
1775    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
1776    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
1777    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
1778    a case as it is a bug).
1779
1780  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
1781    invalidated on window width or height changes.
1782
1783  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
1784    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
1785    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
1786    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
1787
1788  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
1789    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
1790    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
1791    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
1792    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
1793    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
1794    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
1795
1796  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
1797    similarly for other compass points.
1798
1799  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
1800    info in the "About" dialog.
1801
1802  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
1803    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
1804
1805  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
1806    as well as still working with older versions.
1807
1808  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
1809    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
1810
1811  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
1812    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
1813    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
1814    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
1815    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
1816
1817  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
1818    nicer and make better use of the available space.
1819
1820  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
1821    dialog.
1822
1823  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
1824    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
1825
1826  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
1827    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
1828
1829  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
1830
1831  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
1832
1833  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
1834    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
1835    being pressed and toggle full screen.
1836
1837* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
1838  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
1839
1840* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
1841
1842* More messages are now available to be translated.
1843
1844* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
1845  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
1846
1847* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
1848
1849* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
1850  sudo for installing on Unix.
1851
1852* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
1853  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
1854
1855* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
1856  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
1857
1858* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1859
1860Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
1861
1862* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
1863  English.
1864
1865* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
1866  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
1867  case.
1868
1869* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
1870  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
1871  these into Survex's .msg format.
1872
1873* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
1874  an actual command).
1875
1876* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
1877  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
1878  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
1879  recurrence of that).
1880
1881* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
1882  than /usr/doc/survex.
1883
1884* aven:
1885
1886  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
1887
1888  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
1889    nicer at larger sizes.
1890
1891  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
1892    with GLX >= 1.3.
1893
1894  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
1895
1896  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
1897    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
1898    required libraries set up for building releases.
1899
1900  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
1901
1902  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
1903
1904  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
1905    rendered with icons on some platforms.
1906
1907  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
1908    ISO8859-1).
1909
1910  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
1911    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
1912
1913  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
1914    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
1915
1916* cavern:
1917
1918  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
1919    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
1920    fatal error!
1921
1922  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
1923    format to output.  (ticket#21)
1924
1925* img library:
1926
1927  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
1928    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
1929
1930* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
1931  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
1932
1933Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
1934
1935* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
1936  Portuguese, and US English.
1937
1938* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
1939  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
1940
1941* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
1942  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
1943
1944* img.c:
1945
1946  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
1947
1948  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
1949
1950* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
1951
1952* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
1953  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
1954  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
1955  translated.
1956
1957Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
1958
1959* aven:
1960
1961  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
1962    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
1963
1964  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
1965    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
1966    addresses ticket#12.
1967
1968  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
1969    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
1970    consistent shape.
1971
1972  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
1973    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
1974    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
1975    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
1976
1977  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
1978    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
1979
1980  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
1981
1982  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
1983    more places.
1984
1985  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
1986    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
1987
1988* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
1989
1990* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
1991  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
1992
1993* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
1994
1995* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
1996  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
1997  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
1998  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
1999  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
2000  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
2001
2002* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
2003  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
2004  redirecting to it.
2005
2006* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
2007  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
2008  I/O).
2009
2010* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
2011  headers.
2012
2013* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
2014
2015* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
2016  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
2017
2018* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
2019
2020Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
2021
2022* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
2023
2024* aven:
2025
2026  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
2027    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
2028    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
2029    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
2030
2031  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
2032
2033  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
2034    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
2035    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
2036    a number.
2037
2038  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
2039    log window.
2040
2041  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
2042    various cases.
2043
2044  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
2045    (ticket#9)
2046
2047  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
2048    namespace with its own "Point" class.
2049
2050  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
2051    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
2052
2053  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
2054
2055  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
2056    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
2057
2058* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
2059  give them before.
2060
2061* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
2062  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
2063  point looking for them now.
2064
2065* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
2066  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
2067  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
2068  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
2069
2070* manual:
2071
2072  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
2073
2074  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
2075    (change taken from 1.0).
2076
2077* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
2078
2079Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
2080
2081* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
2082
2083* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
2084
2085* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
2086
2087* aven:
2088
2089  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
2090
2091  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
2092    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
2093    seem to be Unicode now).
2094
2095  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
2096    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
2097
2098  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
2099    text on the survey pane:
2100
2101    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
2102
2103    - Character spacing is improved.
2104
2105    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
2106
2107  + "About" dialog:
2108
2109    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
2110      bug reporting.
2111
2112    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
2113      modern gfx card.
2114
2115    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
2116
2117  + Processing .svx files:
2118
2119    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
2120
2121    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
2122      than opening a separate frame for it.
2123
2124    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
2125
2126    - Fix small memory leak.
2127
2128  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
2129    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
2130    such a name.
2131
2132  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
2133
2134  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
2135    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
2136    invocations.
2137
2138  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
2139
2140  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
2141
2142  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
2143
2144* Documentation:
2145
2146  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
2147
2148  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
2149    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
2150    together isn't very useful.
2151
2152  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
2153
2154  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
2155    the FSF website.
2156
2157  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
2158    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
2159    the source code.
2160
2161* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
2162  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
2163
2164* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
2165  package from the source tarball.
2166
2167* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
2168  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
2169
2170Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
2171
2172* aven:
2173
2174  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
2175
2176  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
2177
2178  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
2179    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
2180    names/crosses).
2181
2182Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
2183
2184* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
2185
2186* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
2187
2188* aven:
2189
2190  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
2191
2192  + Fix character spacing.
2193
2194  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
2195    proportional fonts.
2196
2197  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
2198    rather than the filename.
2199
2200  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
2201
2202  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
2203    depth colouring.
2204
2205  + Add "Colour by Error".
2206
2207  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
2208
2209  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
2210
2211  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
2212
2213  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
2214
2215  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
2216
2217  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
2218
2219  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
2220
2221  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
2222    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
2223
2224  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
2225
2226  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
2227    default.
2228
2229* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
2230  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
2231
2232* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
2233  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
2234
2235* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
2236
2237* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
2238
2239Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
2240
2241* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
2242  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
2243  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
2244  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
2245  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
2246
2247* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
2248  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
2249  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
2250
2251* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
2252  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
2253  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
2254
2255* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
2256  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
2257  allowed).
2258
2259* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
2260
2261* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
2262
2263* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
2264
2265Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
2266
2267* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
2268  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
2269
2270* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
2271  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
2272  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
2273
2274* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
2275  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
2276  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
2277  the new "*data passage" style.
2278
2279* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
2280  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
2281
2282* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
2283  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
2284  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
2285  some cases.
2286
2287* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
2288  with no survey loaded.
2289
2290* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
2291
2292* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
2293  loaded a survey.
2294
2295* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
2296
2297* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
2298
2299* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
2300  doesn't exist.
2301
2302* Updated French and Italian translations.
2303
2304* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
2305  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
2306
2307* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
2308  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
2309  update their copy).
2310
2311* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
2312  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
2313  trying to compile).
2314
2315Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
2316
2317* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
2318  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
2319
2320* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
2321  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
2322  has been disabled.
2323
2324* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
2325  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
2326  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
2327  time.
2328
2329* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
2330  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
2331  highlighted stations.
2332
2333* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
2334
2335* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
2336  the tilt from plan to elevation.
2337
2338* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
2339  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
2340
2341* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
2342  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
2343  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
2344
2345* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
2346  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
2347
2348* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
2349
2350* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
2351
2352* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
2353
2354* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
2355  run by an unprivileged user.
2356
2357* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
2358  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
2359  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
2360
2361* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
2362  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
2363
2364* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
2365
2366* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
2367  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
2368
2369* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
2370  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
2371
2372* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
2373  if it isn't.
2374
2375* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
2376  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
2377
2378* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
2379  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
2380
2381* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
2382  reset to default view as well).
2383
2384* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
2385  empty.
2386
2387* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
2388  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
2389
2390* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
2391  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
2392  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
2393
2394* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
2395  and non-zero width lines.
2396
2397* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
2398  was turned on.
2399
2400* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
2401  not always being fully written.
2402
2403Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
2404
2405* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
2406  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
2407  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
2408  date near the middle of that period).
2409
2410* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
2411  with MS Windows).
2412
2413* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
2414  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
2415  several surveys in the same directory).
2416
2417* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
2418  our check for them to include that knowledge.
2419
2420* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
2421
2422* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
2423  moved off a station.
2424
2425* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
2426  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
2427
2428* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
2429
2430* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
2431  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
2432
2433* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
2434  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
2435  dialogs.
2436
2437* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
2438  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
2439
2440* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
2441  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
2442  introduced in 1.1.6).
2443
2444* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
2445  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
2446  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
2447
2448* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
2449  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
2450
2451* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
2452
2453* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
2454
2455Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
2456
2457* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
2458  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
2459
2460* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
2461  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
2462  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
2463  3d file.
2464
2465* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
2466
2467* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
2468
2469* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
2470  Instead turn off depth colouring.
2471
2472* aven: Export as HPGL added.
2473
2474* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
2475  Martin Green).
2476
2477* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
2478  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
2479  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
2480
2481* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
2482
2483* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
2484  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
2485
2486* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
2487  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
2488  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
2489  of everything else.
2490
2491* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
2492  presentation icons.
2493
2494* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
2495  keyboard focus there.
2496
2497* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
2498
2499* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
2500
2501* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
2502
2503* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
2504
2505* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
2506  language to use for messages.
2507
2508* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
2509  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
2510
2511* Removed old printer drivers.
2512
2513* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
2514  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
2515
2516Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
2517
2518* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
2519
2520* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
2521
2522* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
2523  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
2524
2525* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
2526  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
2527
2528* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
2529
2530* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
2531  underground legs is toggled.
2532
2533* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
2534  attached to the previous data.
2535
2536* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
2537  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
2538  them.
2539
2540Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
2541
2542* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
2543
2544* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
2545  continental European countries).
2546
2547* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
2548  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
2549  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
2550
2551* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
2552
2553* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
2554  they're needed.
2555
2556* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
2557
2558* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
2559
2560* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
2561
2562* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
2563  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
2564  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
2565
2566* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
2567
2568Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
2569
2570* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
2571
2572* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
2573
2574* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
2575
2576* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
2577
2578* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
2579
2580* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
2581
2582* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
2583  when there's a presentation loaded.
2584
2585* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
2586  in cave view.
2587
2588* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
2589
2590* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
2591  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
2592  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
2593
2594* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
2595  filename for file history and window title.
2596
2597* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
2598  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
2599  only needed with GTK1.2.
2600
2601* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
2602
2603* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
2604
2605* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
2606
2607* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
2608
2609Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
2610
2611* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
2612  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
2613  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
2614
2615* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
2616  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
2617
2618* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
2619  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
2620  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
2621  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
2622
2623* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
2624
2625* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
2626  with --help and --version.
2627
2628* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
2629  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
2630  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
2631  Fixed all these problems.
2632
2633* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
2634  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
2635  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
2636
2637* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
2638  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
2639  sources.
2640
2641* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
2642
2643* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
2644
2645* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
2646  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
2647
2648* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
2649  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
2650  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
2651  animating.
2652
2653* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
2654
2655* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
2656
2657* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
2658  to this branch.
2659
2660* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
2661
2662  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
2663
2664  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
2665
2666  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
2667
2668* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
2669
2670* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
2671  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
2672
2673* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
2674
2675* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
2676  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
2677
2678* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
2679
2680* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
2681  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
2682  for anyone building from CVS).
2683
2684* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
2685
2686* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
2687
2688* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
2689
2690* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
2691
2692* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
2693  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
2694  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
2695
2696* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
2697  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
2698
2699* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
2700
2701* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
2702  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
2703  loaded).
2704
2705* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
2706
2707Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
2708
2709* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
2710  startup.
2711
2712* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
2713  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
2714
2715Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
2716
2717* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
2718  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
2719  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
2720
2721* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
2722  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
2723  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
2724
2725* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
2726  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
2727  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
2728
2729* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
2730
2731* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
2732  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
2733
2734* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
2735  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
2736
2737* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
2738  better use of screen space.
2739
2740* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
2741
2742* aven: Perspective view.
2743
2744* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
2745
2746* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
2747  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
2748
2749* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
2750  and load/save/run them.
2751
2752* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
2753
2754* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
2755
2756* aven: Depth fogging option.
2757
2758* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
2759
2760* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
2761
2762* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
2763  showing the surface legs.
2764
2765* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
