1Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
2
3* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
4
5* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
6
7* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
8  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
9
10* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
11  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
12  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
13  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
14
15* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
16  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
17  Patch from Thomas Holder.
18
19* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
20  string properly.
21
22* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
23  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
24  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
25  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
26  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
27  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
28  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
29
30* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
31  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
32
33  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
34
35* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
36  where the included filename is actually specified.
37
38* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
39  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
40
41* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
42  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
43  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
44
45* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
46  running on the Continuous Integration system.
47
48* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
49  newer version of Innosetup.  Most notably, it now supports installing as a
50  non-admin user.
51
52* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
53  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
54
55* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
56
57Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
58
59* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
60
61* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
62  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
63  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
64  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
65
66* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
67  in 1.4.0.
68
69* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
70
71Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
72
73* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
74  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
75  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
76  Couwenberg.
77
78  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
79  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
80  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
81  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
82
83  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
84  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
85
86* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
87  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
88  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
89
90* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
91  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
92  strings is strongly discouraged.
93
94  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
95
96  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
97
98  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
99  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
100
101* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
102  Green.
103
104* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
105  echarlie.
106
107* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
108  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
109  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
110
111* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
112
113* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
114
115* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
116
117* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
118
119* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
120  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
121  stations not attached to a fixed point.
122
123Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
124
125* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
126  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
127  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
128  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
129  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
130
131* aven:
132
133  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
134    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
135    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
136    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
137    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
138    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
139
140* testsuite:
141
142  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
143    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
144    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
145    process exits.
146
147* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
148
149Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
150
151* aven:
152
153  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
154
155* cavern:
156
157  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
158
159  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
160    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
161    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
162
163  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
164    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
165    until the next *data command with parameters.
166
167  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
168    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
169
170  * Improve test coverage.
171
172* survexport:
173
174  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
175    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
176
177  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
178    Batista.
179
180* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
181  Holder.
182
183* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
184  from Thomas Holder.
185
186* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
187  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
188
189* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
190
191* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
192
193* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
194
195* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
196
197* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
198
199Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
200
201* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
202  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
203  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
204
205* aven:
206
207  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
208    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
209    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
210
211  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
212    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
213    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
214    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
215
216  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
217    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
218    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
219
220  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
221
222Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
223
224* aven:
225
226  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
227
228  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
229    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
230    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
231
232  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
233    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
234    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
235    orientation.
236
237* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
238  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
239  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
240  Richard Knapp.
241
242* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
243  might still need to use them for.
244
245* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
246
247* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
248
249* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
250  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
251  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
252  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
253
254* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
255  is now the recommended approach.
256
257Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
258
259* aven:
260
261  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
262    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
263    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
264    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
265    Brian Clipstone.
266
267  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
268    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
269
270Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
271
272* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
273  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
274  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
275
276* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
277  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
278  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
279  with some compilers.
280
281* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
282  installed.
283
284Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
285
286* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
287  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
288  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
289
290* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
291  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
292  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
293
294* aven:
295
296  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
297    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
298    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
299    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
300    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
301    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
302    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
303    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
304    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
305    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
306    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
307
308  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
309
310* Documentation:
311
312  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
313
314  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
315    placeholder.
316
317  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
318    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
319
320* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
321  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
322  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
323
324* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
325  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
326  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
327  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
328  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
329  location to avoid confusion.
330
331* Add a few more message translations.
332
333* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
334
335Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
336
337* cavern:
338
339  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
340    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
341    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
342    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
343    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
344
345  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
346    now reports "file not found" instead.
347
348  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
349    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
350    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
351
352* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
353
354* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
355  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
356  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
357  removed.
358
359* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
360  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
361  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
362  information.  Patch from James Begley.
363
364Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
365
366* aven:
367
368  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
369    controllable.
370
371  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
372
373  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
374    Patch from Robert Jones.
375
376  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
377    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
378    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
379
380  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
381    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
382
383* cavern:
384
385  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
386    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
387
388  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
389    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
390    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
391    go unnoticed.
392
393* survexport:
394
395  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
396    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
397    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
398
399  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
400    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
401    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
402    Stephen Crabtree.
403
404* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
405
406* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
407  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
408
409* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
410  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
411  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
412  therion's team command.
413
414Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
415
416* aven:
417
418  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
419
420  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
421    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
422    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
423    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
424    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
425    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
426    for new entrances.
427
428  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
429    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
430    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
431    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
432
433  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
434
435  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
436    to show via the right-click menu.
437
438  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
439    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
440    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
441    child surveys of the parent.
442
443  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
444    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
445    survey.
446
447  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
448    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
449
450  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
451
452  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
453    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
454
455  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
456    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
457    filtering this matters more).
458
459* survexport:
460
461  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
462    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
463
464  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
465
466* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
467
468* Minor translation updates.
469
470* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
471
472* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
473
474* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
475
476Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
477
478* aven:
479
480  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
481    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
482    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
483    on screen, printed and exported.
484
485  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
486    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
487    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
488    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
489    survey.
490
491  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
492    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
493    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
494    view.  Reported by Wookey.
495
496  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
497    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
498    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
499
500  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
501    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
502
503  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
504    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
505
506  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
507    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
508
509  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
510    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
511
512  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
513    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
514
515* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
516  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
517  tools could do, plus much more.
518
519* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
520
521* Minor updates to various other translations.
522
523* img library:
524
525  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
526
527  + Improve API documentation.
528
529* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
530  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
531  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
532
533* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
534  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
535  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
536  control what gets exported.
537
538Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
539
540* aven:
541
542  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
543    of 1.2.33.
544
545  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
546
547Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
548
549* aven:
550
551  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
552    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
553    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
554    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
555
556  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
557    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
558    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
559    Erin Lynch.
560
561  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
562    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
563    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
564
565  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
566    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
567    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
568    unnecessarily.
569
570  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
571    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
572    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
573    for this control).
574
575  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
576    under GTK3.
577
578  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
579    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
580    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
581
582  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
583    current development version).
584
585  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
586    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
587    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
588
589* cavern:
590
591  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
592    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
593    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
594    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
595    "19".
596
597* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
598  Evaristo Quiroga.
599
600* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
601
602* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
603  milosch.
604
605* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
606  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
607  translated messages.
608
609* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
610  Indonesian and Polish.
611
612* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
613  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
614  Reported by Martin Sluka.
615
616* Fix a few compiler warnings.
617
618* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
619  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
620  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
621
622* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
623
624  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
625    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
626    but happens to fail if it isn't.
627
628  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
629
630  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
631
632  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
633
634* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
635  detected at run time on macOS.
636
637* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
638  by the homebrew formula.
639
640* buildmacosx.sh:
641
642  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
643    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
644
645  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
646
647* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
648  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
649
650Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
651
652* aven:
653
654  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
655    and Anthony Day.
656
657  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
658    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
659    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
660    Erin Lynch in #89.
661
662  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
663    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
664    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
665    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
666    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
667    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
668    elevations.
669
670  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
671    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
672    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
673
674  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
675    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
676    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
677    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
678    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
679    "on".
680
681  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
682    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
683
684  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
685    the display wouldn't update right away.
686
687* Manual:
688
689  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
690
691  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
692
693* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
694  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
695  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
696  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
697  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
698
699Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
700
701* aven:
702
703  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
704    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
705    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
706
707  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
708    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
709    before by others.
710
711  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
712
713  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
714    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
715    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
716    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
717    original change.
718
719  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
720    which extends beyond the end of the line).
721
722  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
723    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
724
725  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
726
727  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
728
729  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
730    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
731    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
732    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
733    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
734    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
735    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
736
737  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
738    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
739
740  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
741    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
742    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
743
744  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
745    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
746    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
747    much vertical range.
748
749  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
750    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
751    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
752    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
753    are drawn in this way.
754
755  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
756    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
757    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
758    centre should be a single pixel.
759
760* cavern:
761
762  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
763    entering passage data where there are side passages.
764
765  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
766    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
767
768  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
769    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
770    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
771    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
772
773  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
774    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
775    Reported by Erin Lynch.
776
777  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
778    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
779    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
780    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
781
782  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
783    other messages.
784
785* extend:
786
787  + Now runs a bit faster.
788
789  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
790    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
791    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
792    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
793    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
794    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
795    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
796    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
797    be handled better) most welcome.
798
799* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
800
801* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
802
803* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
804  translations from therion.
805
806* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
807  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
808
809* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
810  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
811  Footleg.
812
813* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
814
815* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
816
817Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
818
819* aven:
820
821  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
822    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
823
824  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
825    Suggested by detrito.
826
827  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
828    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
829
830  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
831    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
832
833* Add man page for dump3d.
834
835Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
836
837* aven:
838
839  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
840    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
841
842  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
843    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
844
845* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
846  Lynch and "detrito".
847
848* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
849  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
850
851Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
852
853* cavern:
854
855  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
856    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
857    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
858    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
859    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
860
861  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
862
863  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
864
865  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
866    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
867    degrees).
868
869* aven:
870
871  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
872    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
873    Day.
874
875  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
876    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
877
878  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
879    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
880
881  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
882    of the line in cavern log window.
883
884  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
885
886  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
887
888  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
889    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
890    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
891    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
892    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
893
894  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
895    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
896    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
897
898  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
899
900  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
901
902  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
903    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
904    Atkinson and myself.
905
906  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
907
908  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
909    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
910    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
911    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
912    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
913    survey.
914
915  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
916    lines on my netbook.
917
918  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
919    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
920    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
921
922  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
923    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
924    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
925    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
926    glitches.
927
928  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
929    we currently list, though slower to write.
930
931  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
932    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
933
934  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
935    warnings when building against a recent version.
936
937  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
938    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
939    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
940    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
941
942  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
943    movie export.
944
945  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
946    export.
947
948* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
949  James Begley.
950
951* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
952  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
953
954* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
955
956* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
957  messages get used automatically.
958
959* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
960  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
961
962* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
963
964* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
965
966* Use https for more URLs which support it.
967
968Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
969
970* aven:
971
972  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
973    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
974    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
975    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
976    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
977    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
978    probably change in the future).
979
980  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
981    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
982    the survey tree root.
983
984  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
985    the view was recentred).
986
987  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
988    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
989    wrong direction).
990
991  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
992    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
993    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
994
995  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
996    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
997    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
998    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
999
1000  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
1001    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
1002
1003  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
1004    addresses #60.
1005
1006  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
1007
1008  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
1009    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
1010    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
1011
1012  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
1013
1014  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
1015    360 or down past 0.
1016
1017  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
1018    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
1019    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
1020    real-valued ones.
1021
1022  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
1023    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
1024
1025  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
1026    Lynch.
1027
1028  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
1029
1030  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
1031    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
1032
1033  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
1034    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
1035    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
1036
1037  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
1038    should now work.
1039
1040* cavern:
1041
1042  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
1043
1044  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
1045    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
1046    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
1047
1048  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
1049    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
1050    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
1051
1052  + Fix check for end of version number array in *required.   We would check up
1053    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
1054    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
1055    issue.
1056
1057  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
1058    by patch from Colin Watson.
1059
1060  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
1061
1062* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1063
1064* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
1065  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
1066
1067* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
1068  used in the same dataset.
1069
1070* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
1071  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
1072
1073* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
1074  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
1075  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
1076
1077* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
1078
1079Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
1080
1081* aven:
1082
1083  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
1084    cavern again.
1085
1086* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
1087  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
1088  location and use the same start menu folder.
1089
1090* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
1091  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
1092
1093* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
1094  by James Begley.
1095
1096Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
1097
1098* aven:
1099
1100  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
1101    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
1102    to address.
1103
1104  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
1105    over the survey tree.
1106
1107  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
1108
1109  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
1110    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
1111
1112  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
1113    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
1114    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
1115    encoded.
1116
1117  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
1118    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
1119    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
1120    terminals which do still support this.
1121
1122  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
1123    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
1124
1125* cavern:
1126
1127  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
1128    Edwards (see #78).
1129
1130  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
1131    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
1132    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
1133    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
1134
1135  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
1136    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
1137    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
1138
1139  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
1140    from Pete Smart (see #69).
1141
1142* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
1143  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
1144  Black.
1145
1146* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
1147
1148* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
1149  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
1150  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
1151  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
1152  Black.
1153
1154* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
1155  Black.
1156
1157* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
1158
1159* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
1160
1161* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
1162
1163* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
1164
1165* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
1166
1167* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
1168  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
1169
1170* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
1171  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
1172  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
1173
1174* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
1175  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
1176  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
1177  privileges or not.
1178
1179Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
1180
1181* aven:
1182
1183  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
1184    Clipstone.
1185
1186  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
1187    Reported by Jenny Black.
1188
1189  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
1190    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
1191    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
1192
1193  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
1194    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
1195    messages.
1196
1197  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
1198    the terminal in 1.2.23.
1199
1200* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
1201  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
1202
1203* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
1204
1205* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
1206  by Wookey.
1207
1208Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
1209
1210* aven:
1211
1212  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
1213    machines.
1214
1215  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
1216
1217  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
1218    already being processed.
1219
1220  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
1221    Reported by Martin Green.
1222
1223  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
1224
1225* cavern:
1226
1227  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
1228    find the original survey notes).
1229
1230  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
1231    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
1232    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
1233    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
1234    progress display to be useful.
1235
1236* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
1237
1238* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
1239  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
1240
1241* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
1242  running cavern.
1243
1244* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
1245  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
1246  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
1247
1248Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
1249
1250* aven:
1251
1252  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
1253    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
1254    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
1255    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
1256    finding this fix.
1257
1258* cavern:
1259
1260  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
1261
1262  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
1263    station.
1264
1265  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
1266    *export.
1267
1268Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
1269
1270* aven:
1271
1272  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
1273    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
1274    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
1275
1276  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
1277
1278  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
1279    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
1280    does.
1281
1282  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
1283    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
1284
1285  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
1286    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
1287
1288  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
1289    as appropriate.
1290
1291  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
1292    values on Windows.
1293
1294* cavern:
1295
1296  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
1297    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
1298    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
1299
1300  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
1301    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
1302
1303  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
1304    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
1305    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
1306    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
1307
1308  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
1309    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
1310    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
1311    Atkinson.
1312
1313  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
1314    actual error rather than on a separate line.
1315
1316  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
1317    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
1318    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
1319    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
1320
1321  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
1322    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
1323    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
1324
1325* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
1326  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
1327  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
1328  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
1329
1330* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
1331
1332* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
1333  "*DECLINATION" command.
1334
1335* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
1336  Reported by Jenny Black.
1337
1338* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
1339  documentation.
1340
1341* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
1342  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
1343
1344* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
1345
1346* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
1347
1348Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
1349
1350* aven:
1351
1352  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
1353    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
1354    the same or very similar by default.
1355
1356  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
1357    Maynard.
1358
1359  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
1360
1361  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
1362
1363  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
1364    away.
1365
1366  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
1367
1368  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
1369    display it.
1370
1371* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
1372  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
1373  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
1374  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
1375
1376* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
1377
1378* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
1379  before 1.2.19.
1380
1381* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
1382  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
1383
1384* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
1385
1386* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
1387  disk image.
1388
1389* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
1390
1391* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
1392  libav features we don't use.
1393
1394* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
1395  a load of libav features we don't use.
1396
1397* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
1398  message in the installer.
1399
1400Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
1401
1402* aven:
1403
1404  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
1405    the exported file in 1.2.18.
1406
1407  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
1408
1409  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
1410    exit full screen mode.
1411
1412  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
1413    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
1414    using since 1.2.7).
1415
1416  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
1417    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
1418    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
1419    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
1420    St. Lawrence.
1421
1422  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
1423    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
1424
1425  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
1426    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
1427    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
1428
1429  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
1430    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
1431    case like we do on other platforms.
1432
1433  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
1434
1435  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
1436    support multi-monitor setups.
1437
1438  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
1439    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
1440
1441  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
1442    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
1443
1444  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
1445    cases.
1446
1447  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
1448    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
1449    Erin Lynch)
1450
1451  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
1452    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
1453    items in in so it uses the full width.
1454
1455  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
1456    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
1457    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
1458    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
1459    window.
1460
1461  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
1462    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
1463    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
1464    only relevant on the first ever run.
1465
1466* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
1467
1468* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
1469  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
1470  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
1471  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
1472  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
1473  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
1474
1475* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
1476  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
1477
1478Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
1479
1480* aven:
1481
1482  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
1483    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
1484    rendering it as a transparent surface.
1485
1486  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
1487    sanely want to perform from the menu.
1488
1489  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
1490    colouring options.
1491
1492  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
1493
1494  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
1495    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
1496    pressing "Escape".
1497
1498  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
1499    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
1500
1501  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
1502    exporting.
1503
1504  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
1505
1506  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
1507    is quite likely to change.
1508
1509  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
1510    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
1511
1512  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
1513    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
1514    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
1515
1516  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
1517
1518  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
1519    markers in orange.
1520
1521  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
1522    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
1523
1524  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
1525    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
1526    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
1527    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
1528    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
1529    them would be better.
1530
1531  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
1532    Gee.
1533
1534  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
1535    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
1536    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
1537
1538  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
1539
1540* cavern:
1541
1542  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
1543    susscorfa).
1544
1545  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
1546    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
1547
1548  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
1549
1550  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
1551    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
1552
1553  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
1554    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
1555
1556* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
1557
1558* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
1559  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
1560  in a modern desktop.
1561
1562* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
1563  the filename in the error message.
1564
1565* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
1566  most complete translations.
1567
1568* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
1569
1570* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
1571  lacks them.
1572
1573* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
1574
1575* Manual:
1576
1577  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
1578    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
1579
1580  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
1581
1582  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
1583
1584  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
1585    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
1586    available for download.
1587
1588* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
1589  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
1590  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
1591
1592* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1593
1594* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
1595
1596Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
1597
1598* MacOS X version:
1599
1600  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
1601
1602  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
1603
1604  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
1605
1606  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
1607
1608  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
1609    currently do this for us.
1610
1611  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
1612
1613  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
1614
1615  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
1616
1617  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
1618    OS X cursor.
1619
1620  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
1621    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
1622    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
1623    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
1624    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
1625    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
1626    with TextEdit.app for example).
1627
1628  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
1629    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
1630
1631  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
1632
1633  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
1634    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
1635
1636  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
1637    Riggs.
1638
1639  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
1640    space.
1641
1642  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
1643
1644  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
1645    10.10.1.
1646
1647  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
1648    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
1649    errors.
1650
1651  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
1652    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
1653    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
1654    wxWidgets build supports by default.
1655
1656  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
1657
1658* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
1659  treat as a single leg.
1660
1661* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
1662
1663* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
1664
1665* aven:
1666
1667  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
1668    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
1669
1670  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
1671    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
1672    1:500).
1673
1674  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
1675    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
1676    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
1677    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
1678
1679  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
1680    there rather than the two animations fighting.
1681
1682  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
1683    fast.
1684
1685  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
1686    when rotating).
1687
1688  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
1689    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
1690
1691* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
1692  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
1693
1694* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
1695
1696* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
1697
1698* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
1699
1700* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
1701
1702* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
1703  we're using git.
1704
1705* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
1706
1707  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
1708    compass.
1709
1710  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
1711
1712  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
1713
1714Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
1715
1716* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
1717
1718* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
1719
1720* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
1721
1722* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
1723  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
1724
1725* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
1726
1727* tests/: Improve test coverage.
1728
1729* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
1730  Greek and Polish.
1731
1732* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
1733  by Martin Sluka.
1734
1735* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
1736  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1737
1738Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
1739
1740* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
1741  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
1742  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
1743  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
1744  for *cs has also been improved.
1745
1746* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
1747  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
1748  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
1749  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
1750
1751* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
1752  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
1753  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
1754  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
1755  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
1756
1757* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
1758  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
1759  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
1760
1761* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
1762
1763* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
1764
1765* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
1766  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
1767  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
1768
1769* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
1770  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
1771
1772Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
1773
1774* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
1775  system in use in 3d v8 files.
1776
1777* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
1778  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
1779  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
1780  export dialog.
1781
1782* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
1783  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
1784  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
1785  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
1786  rather than having one corner there.
1787
1788* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
1789  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
1790
1791* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
1792  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
1793
1794* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
1795  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
1796  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
1797
1798* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
1799  such as 64-bit Linux.
1800
1801* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
1802  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
1803
1804* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
1805  64-bit platforms.
1806
1807* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
1808  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
1809  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
1810
1811* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
1812  the space available in the aven UI.
1813
1814* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
1815  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
1816  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
1817
1818* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
1819  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
1820
1821* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
1822  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
1823  about unconnected surveys.
1824
1825* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
1826  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
1827
1828* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
1829  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
1830  freed memory.
1831
1832* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
1833
1834* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
1835
1836* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
1837
1838* Fix a compiler warning.
1839
1840* Improve test coverage.
1841
1842Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
1843
1844* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
1845  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
1846  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
1847
1848* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
1849  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
1850  Hugh St Lawrence.
1851
1852* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
1853  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
1854  with using aven on a touch screen device.
1855
1856* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
1857  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
1858
1859* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
1860  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
1861
1862* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
1863  off and back on.
1864
1865* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
1866  up time a little.
1867
1868* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
1869  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
1870
1871* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
1872  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
1873  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
1874  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
1875  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
1876  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
1877  situation too.
1878
1879* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
1880  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
1881  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
1882
1883* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
1884
1885* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
1886
1887* Minor translation updates to French.
1888
1889* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
1890
1891* Testsuite improvements:
1892
1893  + Test that "..." anon station works.
1894
1895  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
1896    fail and give an error count.
1897
1898  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
1899
1900Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
1901
1902* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
1903  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
1904  Clipstone.
1905
1906* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
1907
1908* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
1909
1910  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
1911    overlap the scale bar ticks.
1912
1913  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
1914    clipping the border in print preview.
1915
1916  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
1917
1918* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
1919  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
1920
1921* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
1922  available.
1923
1924* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
1925
1926* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
1927
1928* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
1929  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
1930
1931* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
1932  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
1933
1934* Various translation updates.
1935
1936Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
1937
1938* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
1939  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
1940
1941* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
1942  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
1943  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
1944  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
1945
1946* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
1947  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
1948
1949* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
1950  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
1951
1952* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
1953  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
1954
1955* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
1956  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1957
1958* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
1959  box".
1960
1961* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
1962
1963* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
1964  indicators.
1965
1966* aven: All length units are now translatable.
1967
1968* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
1969  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
1970  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
1971
1972* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
1973  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
1974  measurably slower.
1975
1976* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
1977  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
1978
1979* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
1980  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
1981
1982* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
1983  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
1984  from Therion and elsewhere.
1985
1986* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
1987  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
1988  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
1989
1990* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
1991  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
1992
1993* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
1994  A. Riggs for his work on this.
1995
1996* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
1997  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
1998
1999* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
2000
2001* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
2002  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
2003  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
2004  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
2005  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
2006  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2007
2008* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
2009
2010Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
2011
2012* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
2013  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
2014  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
2015  Clipstone.
2016
2017* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
2018  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
2019
2020* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
2021  exported SVG files.
2022
2023* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
2024
2025* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
2026  file.
2027
2028* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
2029  GPX files.
2030
2031* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
2032
2033* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
2034  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
2035
2036* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
2037  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
2038  on startup.
2039
2040* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
2041
2042* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
2043  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
2044  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
2045  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
2046  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
2047  other extensions.
2048
2049* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
2050  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
2051  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
2052  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
2053  timezone wrong.
2054
2055* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
2056
2057* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
2058  'SURVEY DATE:'.
2059
2060* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
2061
2062* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
2063
2064* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
2065  enabled.
2066
2067Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
2068
2069* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
2070
2071* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
2072
2073* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
2074
2075* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
2076  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
2077  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
2078
2079* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
2080  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
2081  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
2082
2083* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
2084  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
2085
2086* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
2087
2088* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
2089
2090* Fix some compiler warnings.
2091
2092Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
2093
2094* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
2095  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
2096  Holder.
2097
2098* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
2099  statistics when the value gets large.
2100
2101* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
2102  equations.
2103
2104* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
2105  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
2106  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
2107  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
2108  better when the "View" box is hidden.
2109
2110* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
2111  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
2112
2113* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
2114  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
2115  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
2116  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
2117  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
2118  way is coming soon.
2119
2120* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
2121  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
2122
2123* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
2124  time ago, so update references.
2125
2126* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
2127  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2128
2129* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
2130  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
2131
2132* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
2133  Sebastian Ramacher.
2134
2135* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
2136
2137* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
2138
2139* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
2140
2141* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
2142
2143* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
2144
2145* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
2146  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
2147  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
2148
2149* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
2150
2151* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
2152
2153* img library:
2154
2155  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
2156    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
2157    reading).
2158
2159  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
2160    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
2161
2162  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
2163    support these as an extension.
2164
2165  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
2166
2167* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
2168  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
2169  itself has any translations for.
2170
2171* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
2172
2173* Minor translation updates.
2174
2175* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
2176
2177Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
2178
2179* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
2180  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
2181  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
2182  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
2183  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
2184  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
2185  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
2186  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
2187
2188* New version 8 of the 3d format:
2189
2190  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
2191
2192  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
2193    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
2194
2195  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
2196    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
2197
2198  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
2199
2200  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
2201    human-readable string.
2202
2203  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
2204    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
2205
2206* img library:
2207
2208  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
2209
2210  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
2211    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
2212
2213  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
2214    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
2215    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
2216    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
2217    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
2218    explicitly in the file.
2219
2220  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
2221
2222* aven:
2223
2224  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
2225    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
2226    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
2227    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
2228    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
2229    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
2230
2231  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
2232    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
2233    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
2234    queued up.
2235
2236  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
2237    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
2238
2239  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
2240    them like other legs.
2241
2242  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
2243    station names to positions.
2244
2245  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
2246    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
2247    wrongly.
2248
2249  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
2250
2251  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
2252    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
2253    that's used by the desktop).
2254
2255  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
2256
2257  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
2258    error from cavern.
2259
2260  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
2261
2262  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
2263    in the dialog in sync.
2264
2265* cavern:
2266
2267  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
2268    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
2269    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
2270
2271  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
2272    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
2273
2274  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
2275    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
2276    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
2277    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
2278    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
2279    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
2280    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
2281    degrees.
2282
2283  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
2284    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
2285    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
2286
2287  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
2288
2289  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
2290    warnings.
2291
2292  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
2293    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
2294
2295  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
2296    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
2297
2298  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
2299    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
2300    relevant.
2301
2302  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
2303    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
2304    the same line.
2305
2306  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
2307    "End of line not blank" error.
2308
2309  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
2310    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
2311
2312  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
2313    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
2314
2315  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
2316    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
2317    include that character in the token reported.
2318
2319  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
2320    first item.
2321
2322* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
2323
2324* dump3d:
2325
2326  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
2327    info from 3d files in scripts.
2328
2329  + Add --show-dates option.
2330
2331  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
2332
2333  + Report the data style of legs.
2334
2335  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
2336
2337  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
2338
2339* Test suite:
2340
2341  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
2342    expected output so it passes reliably.
2343
2344  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
2345    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
2346
2347  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
2348    for more.
2349
2350* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
2351  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
2352  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
2353
2354* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
2355  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
2356
2357* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
2358  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
2359
2360* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
2361  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
2362  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
2363  settings.
2364
2365* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
2366  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
2367  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
2368  set correctly.
2369
2370* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
2371  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
2372  them to translate.
2373
2374* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
2375  close to complete.
2376
2377* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
2378
2379* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
2380
2381* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
2382
2383Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
2384
2385* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
2386
2387* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
2388  package (ticket#35).
2389
2390* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
2391  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
2392  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
2393
2394* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
2395  Kahler.
2396
2397* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
2398  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
2399  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
2400  libproj and build survex with:
2401
2402      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
2403      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
2404
2405* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
2406
2407* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
2408
2409* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
2410  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
2411  file".
2412
2413Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
2414
2415* aven:
2416
2417  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
2418
2419  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
2420    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
2421
2422  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
2423
2424  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
2425
2426  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
2427    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
2428
2429* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
2430  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
2431  error early on).
2432
2433* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
2434  the man page source as well as in the filename.
2435
2436Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
2437
2438* aven:
2439
2440  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
2441    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
2442    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
2443    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
2444
2445  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
2446    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
2447
2448  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
2449
2450  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
2451
2452  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
2453
2454* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
2455
2456Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
2457
2458* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
2459
2460* (Mac OS X version):
2461
2462  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
2463
2464  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
2465
2466  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
2467    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
2468
2469  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
2470
2471* aven:
2472
2473  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
2474
2475  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
2476
2477    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
2478      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
2479      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
2480      character.
2481
2482    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
2483      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
2484      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
2485      and two in a few cases.
2486
2487    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
2488      8 pixels.
2489
2490  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
2491    draw crosses.
2492
2493  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
2494    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
2495    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
2496    is the start or end of a tube.
2497
2498  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
2499    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
2500
2501  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
2502    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
2503    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
2504
2505* extend:
2506
2507  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
2508
2509  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
2510    which means "no info").
2511
2512* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
2513  was no longer used - it certainly is!
2514
2515* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
2516  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
2517  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
2518  current character set.
2519
2520* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
2521
2522* Test suite:
2523
2524  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
2525
2526  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
2527
2528Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
2529
2530* aven:
2531
2532  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
2533    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
2534    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
2535    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
2536    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
2537    usable format.
2538
2539  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
2540    files.  (ticket#26)
2541
2542  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
2543    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
2544
2545  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
2546    using lines.
2547
2548  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
2549    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
2550
2551  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
2552    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
2553    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
2554    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
2555
2556  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
2557    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
2558    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
2559
2560  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
2561    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
2562    in 1.2.1.
2563
2564Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
2565
2566* Translation updates for US English.
2567
2568* aven:
2569
2570  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
2571    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
2572
2573  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
2574
2575  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
2576    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
2577    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
2578    visually similar to the survey legs.
2579
2580  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
2581    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
2582
2583  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
2584    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
2585    does still provide some useful information).
2586
2587  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
2588    a depth band boundary.
2589
2590  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
2591    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
2592    full-screen mode).
2593
2594  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
2595    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
2596    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
2597    are a little better, though still not perfect.
2598
2599  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
2600    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
2601
2602  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
2603    that station.
2604
2605  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
2606    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
2607
2608  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
2609    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
2610    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
2611    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
2612    a case as it is a bug).
2613
2614  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
2615    invalidated on window width or height changes.
2616
2617  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
2618    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
2619    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
2620    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
2621
2622  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
2623    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
2624    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
2625    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
2626    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
2627    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
2628    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
2629
2630  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
2631    similarly for other compass points.
2632
2633  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
2634    info in the "About" dialog.
2635
2636  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
2637    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
2638
2639  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
2640    as well as still working with older versions.
2641
2642  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
2643    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
2644
2645  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
2646    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
2647    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
2648    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
2649    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
2650
2651  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
2652    nicer and make better use of the available space.
2653
2654  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
2655    dialog.
2656
2657  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
2658    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
2659
2660  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
2661    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
2662
2663  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
2664
2665  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
2666
2667  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
2668    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
2669    being pressed and toggle full screen.
2670
2671* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
2672  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
2673
2674* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
2675
2676* More messages are now available to be translated.
2677
2678* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
2679  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
2680
2681* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
2682
2683* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
2684  sudo for installing on Unix.
2685
2686* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
2687  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
2688
2689* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
2690  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
2691
2692* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2693
2694Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
2695
2696* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
2697  English.
2698
2699* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
2700  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
2701  case.
2702
2703* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
2704  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
2705  these into Survex's .msg format.
2706
2707* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
2708  an actual command).
2709
2710* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
2711  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
2712  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
2713  recurrence of that).
2714
2715* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
2716  than /usr/doc/survex.
2717
2718* aven:
2719
2720  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
2721
2722  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
2723    nicer at larger sizes.
2724
2725  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
2726    with GLX >= 1.3.
2727
2728  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
2729
2730  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
2731    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
2732    required libraries set up for building releases.
2733
2734  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
2735
2736  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
2737
2738  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
2739    rendered with icons on some platforms.
2740
2741  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
2742    ISO8859-1).
2743
2744  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
2745    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
2746
2747  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
2748    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
2749
2750* cavern:
2751
2752  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
2753    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
2754    fatal error!
2755
2756  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
2757    format to output.  (ticket#21)
2758
2759* img library:
2760
2761  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
2762    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
2763
2764* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
2765  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
2766
2767Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
2768
2769* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
2770  Portuguese, and US English.
2771
2772* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
2773  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
2774
2775* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
2776  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
2777
2778* img.c:
2779
2780  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
2781
2782  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
2783
2784* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
2785
2786* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
2787  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
2788  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
2789  translated.
2790
2791Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
2792
2793* aven:
2794
2795  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
2796    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
2797
2798  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
2799    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
2800    addresses ticket#12.
2801
2802  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
2803    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
2804    consistent shape.
2805
2806  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
2807    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
2808    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
2809    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
2810
2811  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
2812    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
2813
2814  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
2815
2816  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
2817    more places.
2818
2819  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
2820    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
2821
2822* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
2823
2824* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
2825  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
2826
2827* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
2828
2829* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
2830  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
2831  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
2832  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
2833  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
2834  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
2835
2836* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
2837  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
2838  redirecting to it.
2839
2840* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
2841  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
2842  I/O).
2843
2844* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
2845  headers.
2846
2847* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
2848
2849* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
2850  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
2851
2852* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
2853
2854Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
2855
2856* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
2857
2858* aven:
2859
2860  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
2861    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
2862    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
2863    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
2864
2865  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
2866
2867  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
2868    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
2869    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
2870    a number.
2871
2872  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
2873    log window.
2874
2875  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
2876    various cases.
2877
2878  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
2879    (ticket#9)
2880
2881  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
2882    namespace with its own "Point" class.
2883
2884  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
2885    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
2886
2887  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
2888
2889  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
2890    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
2891
2892* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
2893  give them before.
2894
2895* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
2896  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
2897  point looking for them now.
2898
2899* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
2900  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
2901  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
2902  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
2903
2904* manual:
2905
2906  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
2907
2908  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
2909    (change taken from 1.0).
2910
2911* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
2912
2913Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
2914
2915* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
2916
2917* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
2918
2919* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
2920
2921* aven:
2922
2923  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
2924
2925  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
2926    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
2927    seem to be Unicode now).
2928
2929  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
2930    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
2931
2932  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
2933    text on the survey pane:
2934
2935    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
2936
2937    - Character spacing is improved.
2938
2939    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
2940
2941  + "About" dialog:
2942
2943    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
2944      bug reporting.
2945
2946    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
2947      modern gfx card.
2948
2949    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
2950
2951  + Processing .svx files:
2952
2953    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
2954
2955    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
2956      than opening a separate frame for it.
2957
2958    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
2959
2960    - Fix small memory leak.
2961
2962  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
2963    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
2964    such a name.
2965
2966  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
2967
2968  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
2969    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
2970    invocations.
2971
2972  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
2973
2974  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
2975
2976  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
2977
2978* Documentation:
2979
2980  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
2981
2982  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
2983    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
2984    together isn't very useful.
2985
2986  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
2987
2988  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
2989    the FSF website.
2990
2991  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
2992    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
2993    the source code.
2994
2995* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
2996  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
2997
2998* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
2999  package from the source tarball.
3000
3001* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
3002  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
3003
3004Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
3005
3006* aven:
3007
3008  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
3009
3010  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
3011
3012  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
3013    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
3014    names/crosses).
3015
3016Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
3017
3018* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
3019
3020* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
3021
3022* aven:
3023
3024  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
3025
3026  + Fix character spacing.
3027
3028  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
3029    proportional fonts.
3030
3031  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
3032    rather than the filename.
3033
3034  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
3035
3036  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
3037    depth colouring.
3038
3039  + Add "Colour by Error".
3040
3041  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
3042
3043  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
3044
3045  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
3046
3047  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
3048
3049  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
3050
3051  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
3052
3053  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
3054
3055  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
3056    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
3057
3058  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
3059
3060  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
3061    default.
3062
3063* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
3064  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
3065
3066* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
3067  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
3068
3069* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
3070
3071* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
3072
3073Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
3074
3075* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
3076  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
3077  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
3078  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
3079  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
3080
3081* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
3082  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
3083  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
3084
3085* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
3086  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
3087  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
3088
3089* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
3090  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
3091  allowed).
3092
3093* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
3094
3095* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3096
3097* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3098
3099Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
3100
3101* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
3102  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
3103
3104* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
3105  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
3106  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
3107
3108* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
3109  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
3110  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
3111  the new "*data passage" style.
3112
3113* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
3114  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
3115
3116* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
3117  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
3118  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
3119  some cases.
3120
3121* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
3122  with no survey loaded.
3123
3124* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
3125
3126* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
3127  loaded a survey.
3128
3129* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
3130
3131* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
3132
3133* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
3134  doesn't exist.
3135
3136* Updated French and Italian translations.
3137
3138* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
3139  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
3140
3141* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
3142  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
3143  update their copy).
3144
3145* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
3146  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
3147  trying to compile).
3148
3149Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
3150
3151* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
3152  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
3153
3154* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
3155  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
3156  has been disabled.
3157
3158* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
3159  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
3160  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
3161  time.
3162
3163* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
3164  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
3165  highlighted stations.
3166
3167* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
3168
3169* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
3170  the tilt from plan to elevation.
3171
3172* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
3173  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
3174
3175* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
3176  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
3177  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
3178
3179* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
3180  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
3181
3182* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
3183
3184* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
3185
3186* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
3187
3188* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
3189  run by an unprivileged user.
3190
3191* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
3192  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
3193  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
3194
3195* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
3196  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
3197
3198* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
3199
3200* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
3201  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
3202
3203* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
3204  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
3205
3206* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
3207  if it isn't.
3208
3209* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
3210  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
3211
3212* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
3213  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
3214
3215* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
3216  reset to default view as well).
3217
3218* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
3219  empty.
3220
3221* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
3222  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
3223
3224* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
3225  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
3226  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
3227
3228* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
3229  and non-zero width lines.
3230
3231* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
3232  was turned on.
3233
3234* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
3235  not always being fully written.
3236
3237Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
3238
3239* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
3240  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
3241  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
3242  date near the middle of that period).
3243
3244* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
3245  with MS Windows).
3246
3247* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
3248  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
3249  several surveys in the same directory).
3250
3251* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
3252  our check for them to include that knowledge.
3253
3254* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
3255
3256* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
3257  moved off a station.
3258
3259* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
3260  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
3261
3262* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
3263
3264* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
3265  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
3266
3267* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
3268  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
3269  dialogs.
3270
3271* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
3272  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
3273
3274* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
3275  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
3276  introduced in 1.1.6).
3277
3278* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
3279  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
3280  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
3281
3282* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
3283  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
3284
3285* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
3286
3287* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
3288
3289Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
3290
3291* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
3292  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
3293
3294* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
3295  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
3296  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
3297  3d file.
3298
3299* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
3300
3301* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
3302
3303* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
3304  Instead turn off depth colouring.
3305
3306* aven: Export as HPGL added.
3307
3308* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
3309  Martin Green).
3310
3311* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
3312  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
3313  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
3314
3315* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
3316
3317* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
3318  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
3319
3320* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
3321  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
3322  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
3323  of everything else.
3324
3325* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
3326  presentation icons.
3327
3328* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
3329  keyboard focus there.
3330
3331* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
3332
3333* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
3334
3335* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
3336
3337* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
3338
3339* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
3340  language to use for messages.
3341
3342* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
3343  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
3344
3345* Removed old printer drivers.
3346
3347* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
3348  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
3349
3350Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
3351
3352* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
3353
3354* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
3355
3356* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
3357  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
3358
3359* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
3360  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
3361
3362* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
3363
3364* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
3365  underground legs is toggled.
3366
3367* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
3368  attached to the previous data.
3369
3370* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
3371  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
3372  them.
3373
3374Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
3375
3376* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
3377
3378* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
3379  continental European countries).
3380
3381* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
3382  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
3383  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
3384
3385* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
3386
3387* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
3388  they're needed.
3389
3390* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
3391
3392* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
3393
3394* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
3395
3396* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
3397  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
3398  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
3399
3400* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
3401
3402Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
3403
3404* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
3405
3406* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
3407
3408* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
3409
3410* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
3411
3412* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
3413
3414* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
3415
3416* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
3417  when there's a presentation loaded.
3418
3419* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
3420  in cave view.
3421
3422* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
3423
3424* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
3425  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
3426  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
3427
3428* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
3429  filename for file history and window title.
3430
3431* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
3432  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
3433  only needed with GTK1.2.
3434
3435* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
3436
3437* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
3438
3439* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
3440
3441* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
3442
3443Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
3444
3445* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
3446  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
3447  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
3448
3449* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
3450  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
3451
3452* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
3453  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
3454  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
3455  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
3456
3457* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
3458
3459* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
3460  with --help and --version.
3461
3462* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
3463  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
3464  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
3465  Fixed all these problems.
3466
3467* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
3468  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
3469  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
3470
3471* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
3472  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
3473  sources.
3474
3475* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
3476
3477* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
3478
3479* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
3480  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
3481
3482* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
3483  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
3484  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
3485  animating.
3486
3487* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
3488
3489* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
3490
3491* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
3492  to this branch.
3493
3494* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
3495
3496  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
3497
3498  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
3499
3500  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
3501
3502* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
3503
3504* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
3505  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
3506
3507* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
3508
3509* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
3510  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
3511
3512* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
3513
3514* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
3515  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
3516  for anyone building from CVS).
3517
3518* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
3519
3520* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
3521
3522* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
3523
3524* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
3525
3526* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
3527  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
3528  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
3529
3530* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
3531  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
3532
3533* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
3534
3535* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
3536  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
3537  loaded).
3538
3539* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
3540
3541Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
3542
3543* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
3544  startup.
3545
3546* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
3547  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
3548
3549Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
3550
3551* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
3552  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
3553  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
3554
3555* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
3556  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
3557  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
3558
3559* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
3560  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
3561  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
3562
3563* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
3564
3565* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
3566  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
3567
3568* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
3569  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
3570
3571* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
3572  better use of screen space.
3573
3574* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
3575
3576* aven: Perspective view.
3577
3578* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
3579
3580* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
3581  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
3582
3583* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
3584  and load/save/run them.
3585
3586* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
3587
3588* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
3589
3590* aven: Depth fogging option.
3591
3592* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
3593
3594* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
3595
3596* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
3597  showing the surface legs.
3598
3599* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
