3Changes in 1.4.9 (2024-06-??):
4
5* aven:
6
7  + We now support showing geodata overlays in Aven.  We use the GDAL library
8    to load the data, so this should work for any format which GDAL supports
9    so long as it can be read from the filing system and is geo-referenced
10    vector data - see https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html for a list.
11    Currently the dialog to select a file defaults to showing GPX, KML, GeoJSON
12    and shape files - set the filter to "All Files" to chose other formats.
13
14  + Reimplement display of cavern output.  The old version turned the log into
15    HTML and displayed it using wxHtmlWindow, but that adds a lot of overhead
16    and is especially inefficient if there are many diagnostics - cavern could
17    finish almost instantly yet aven could take many seconds to process the
18    output.  The new version renders directly from the log data.  It should
19    have most of the features from before - the only missing feature I'm
20    currently aware of is that you can't now select and copy text from the log
21    window, which wxHtmlWindow provided for free.  If people miss this feature,
22    we could add it to the new implementation.
23
24* cavern:
25
26  + Add support for processing Walls format survey data (.SRV and .WPJ files).
27    This support is somewhat experimental but at a point where it seems useful
28    to make it easier for people to try out.  See the manual for a list of
29    known shortcomings.  Thanks to Eric C. Landgraf for a lot of testing and
30    encouragement.
31
32  + *entrance now suppresses "Unused fixed point" warning.  This warning is
33    intended to catch typos, which is much less likely for a station named
34    twice.  It's also reasonable to use only *fix and *entrance on a station at
35    the entrance of an unsurveyed cave.
36
37  + Highlight plumbed clino readings fully in diagnostics.  Now the full reading
38    is highlighted instead of just the first character.
39
40  + Report location of previous fix after "already fixed" error/warning.
41
42  + Use "info" diagnostic category for "Originally entered here" message.  This
43    is more logical as the original *begin isn't something to be warned about,
44    only the reentering is.  This was only a warning before because we didn't
45    used to have "info" diagnostics.
46
47  + Use "info" diagnostic category for message about not reporting further
48    uses of a deprecated feature.  Previously this was a warning, but the newer
49    "info" category is more appropriate here.
50
51  + The message about inventing a fixed point is now an "info" diagnostic which
52    allows us to report a location which is where that station is defined,
53    which may be useful to the user.
54
55  + Make highlighting position in error reporting more robust.  We no longer
56    try to highIight if we calculate a negative column offset, when previously
57    we would print billions of spaces.  As far as I know this has never
58    happened in a released version.
59
60* manual:
61
62  + (Microsoft Windows version): Update information about installation
63    with/without admin rights.
64
65  + Mention Compass, Walls and CMAP support in the importing data howto
66    section.
67
68  + Drop mention of Rosetta Stal from the manual.  The referred to link from
69    our website was removed in 2015 because Rosetta Stal hadn't been updated
70    for 13.5 years at that point.  Now the domain it was available from has
71    lapsed and is a domain squatter "for sale" page.
72
73* Build system:
74
75  + The GDAL library is now required to build Survex.
76
77Changes in 1.4.8 (2024-04-23):
78
79* cavern:
80
81  + The warning for a compass reading on a plumbed leg was already suppressed
82    for a compass or backcompass reading of 0, but is now also suppressed for a
83    backcompass of 180° (or equivalent) which seems to be common in some Compass
84    datasets, but also seems sensible generally.  Thanks to Simeon Warner for
85    sharing some data which triggered such warnings.
86
87  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name is now also
88    emitted in the case where a name was used first for a station, and then as
89    a survey on an explicitly prefixed name.  Closes
90    https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4, reported by Thomas Holder.
91
92  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name now highlights
93    the problematic name within the line shown for context.
94
95  + Fix the reported token string reported by some errors with readings.  This
96    happened to work on at least x86-64 Linux, but the code was invalid and
97    failed on some architectures.
98
99* Fix to build with newer FFmpeg versions.
100
101* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now offers the choice to install
102  for just the current user, which allows installing Survex without admin
103  rights.
104
105* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix problems with valid coordinate systems being
106  rejected and aven's cavern log window not showing output.  Reported by
107  Peter Mašič, Špela Borko, Răzvan Dumbravă and detrito.  Thanks especially to
108  Špela Borko for a lot of testing to help track down the cause.
109
110Changes in 1.4.7 (2024-04-07):
111
112* cavern:
113
114  + When using *declination auto we report the range of calculated declinations
115    for each location specified.  After doing this we now reset the range
116    information we're tracking.  Previously we'd misreport the range for
117    the second and subsequent locations.
118
119  + Avoid undefined behaviour on handling filename fallback for filenames
120    containing non-ASCII characters.
121
122  + Show context line with relevant item highlighted for more errors and
123    warnings.
124
125  + The dynamic string handling routines are now more efficient.
126
127  + Fix memory leak if a Compass MAK file opens folders it doesn't close.
128
129  + Fix handling of clino-less legs in Compass DAT.  These would cause cavern
130    to fail with a lot of "NaN" messages.  Now they're treated as having a zero
131    clino with a standard deviation based on the leg length, just like in .svx
132    files.
133
134* img library:
135
136  + Compass PLT: Treat LRUD readings > 900 as omitted readings, which matches
137    what Compass does.  Thanks to Larry Fish for clarifying this.
138
139  + Avoid undefined behaviour after realloc().  We were adjusting a pointer
140    within the reallocated block by subtracting the old block address and
141    adding on the new one.  Technically this is undefined behaviour, although
142    in practice it seems likely it'll work and we've not seen misbehaviour due
143    to it.  However it's easy to avoid by calculating the offset before the
144    realloc().
145
146* Portability:
147
148  + Provide prototype for getopt() to avoid warnings with very recent compiler
149    versions.
150
151  + Avoid using sprintf(), which now triggers warnings on some platforms.
152
153* Build system:
154
155  + Add configure --enable-werror option to turn compiler warnings into errors.
156
157* Manual:
158
159  + Expand details of Compass MAK CRS support.
160
161  + Replace very out of date information about binary RPM packages.
162
163* Minor translation updates.
164
165* (Microsoft Windows version): Now uses PROJ 9.3.0 and ships all of the
166  ancillary files that PROJ comes with.  Hoping this fixes use of coordinate
167  system EPSG:3912 failing, which was reported by Peter Mašič but I've not
168  managed to reproduce.
169
170Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-03-07):
171
172* cavern:
173
174  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
175    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
176    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
177    mailing list.
178
179  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
180    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
181    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
182    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
183
184  + When opening a file, cavern has fallback handling if the file isn't found
185    to help people processing datasets from platforms with case-insensitive
186    file systems.  Previously cavern would fold the filename to lowercase and
187    retry.  Now if this fails, it will also try the lower case version but
188    with the initial character of the leaf in upper case, and finally folding
189    the whole specified filename to upper case.
190
191  + Dynamically pick a suitable level separator character and store it in .3d
192    file, instead of it being hard-coded to '.' (we still use '.' unless it
193    has been *set as a "name" character, or for Compass DAT/MAK files unless it
194    has been used in a station name).  This is a step towards addressing the
195    situations raised by Thomas Holder in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4
196    and https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/5 .
197
198  + Compass DAT files:
199
200    - The shot flag S is now understood to indicate a splay.
201
202    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
203      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
204      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
205      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
206      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
207      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
208
209    - Surveys which indicate a depth gauge was used for azimuth readings are
210      now marked as STYLE_DIVING in the 3d file.
211
212    - Compass and clino corrections are now implemented for backsights.
213
214    - The tape correction in Compass DAT files is now handled correctly.  The
215      specified value is in feet, but cavern was incorrectly treating it as
216      being in metres.
217
218    - We now handle the newer 15 character "FORMAT:" encoding.  Previously
219      cavern wouldn't detect when there were backsights in this case.
220
221    - We now treat survey date January 1st 1901 as "no date specified" since
222      this is the date Compass stores in this situation, and it seems very
223      unlikely to occur in real data.
224
225    - In Compass DAT files a dummy zero-length leg from a station to itself is
226      used to provide a place to specify LRUD for the start or end of a
227      traverse (depending if dimensions are measured at the from or to
228      station), and so we no longer issue a warning about equating a station to
229      itself for DAT files.
230
231  + Compass MAK files:
232
233    - The base location command is now understood.  This is how Compass
234      specifies a location to calculate magnetic declination at, and we
235      now handle this like Survex's native "*declination auto X Y Z".
236
237    - Survex uses the specified UTM zone and datum provided the combination can
238      be expressed as an EPSG code (lack of any EPSG codes for a datum suggests
239      it's obsolete; lack of a code for a particular datum+zone combination
240      suggests the zone is outside of the defined area of use of the datum).
241      Example Compass files we've seen use "North American 1927" outside of
242      where it's defined for use, presumably because some users fail to change
243      the datum from Compass' default.  To enable reading such files we return
244      a PROJ4 string of the form "+proj=utm ..." for "North American 1927" and
245      "North American 1983" for UTM zones which don't have an EPSG code.
246      Please let us know if support for additional cases which aren't currently
247      supported would be useful to you.
248
249    - Folder commands are now understood.
250
251    - Flag fixed stations as entrances.  Experimentation with Compass shows
252      this is how it treats them ("distance from entrance" in a .DAT file
253      counts from 0 at these points).
254
255  + We now support reading Compass CLP files.  These are very like DAT files,
256    except they contain loop-closed data.  You might find this useful if you
257    want to keep existing stations at the same adjusted positions Compass gave
258    (for example to be able to draw extensions on an existing drawn-up survey),
259    or if the original DAT file has been lost but you still have the CLP file.
260
261* aven:
262
263  + Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
264    Philip Balister.
265
266  + Split the filters for DAT and MAK files in the File->Open drop down list.
267    It seems more likely you'd want to see one type or the other, not both
268    together.
269
270* aven/survexport:
271
272  + Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
273
274  + .json,.kml: Enable export of surface legs.  Currently surface and
275    underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats when both
276    are enabled.
277
278  + .3d: The coordinate system is now set.
279
280  + .svg: Equated stations now get their correct names in the id attribute
281    of <circle> tags.  Previously one of the names would be repeated for
282    all of a set of equated stations.
283
284  + .plt:
285
286    - Anonymous stations previously resulted in an empty name in the PLT
287      file.  This isn't explicitly disallowed by the PLT format description,
288      but Compass' viewer gives an error for such lines.  Now we invent names
289      by encoding the station coordinates which should be unique.
290
291    - The S shot flag is now set for splays, and the P shot flag (hide from
292      plotting) is set for surface legs (which matches the use suggested in the
293      Compass docs).
294
295* img library:
296
297  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
298    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
299    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
300    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
301    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
302    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
303    default).
304
305  + Improve Compass PLT support (many of these are Compass features added
306    since Survex's support for Compass was originally added):
307
308    - Survey dates are now handled fully.  We treat survey date January 1st
309      1901 as "no date specified" since this is the date Compass stores in this
310      situation, and it seems very unlikely to occur in real data.
311
312    - LRUD data is now translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END.
313
314    - We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE for stations where the "Distance From
315      Entrance" field is present and zero.
316
317    - The shot flag L is now translated to img_FLAG_DUPLICATE.
318
319    - The shot flag S is now translated to img_FLAG_SPLAY.  A station at the
320      far end of a shot flagged S gets img_SFLAG_WALL set since the Compass PLT
321      format specification says:
322
323          The shot is a "splay" shot, which is a shot from a station to the
324          wall to define the passage shape.
325
326    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
327      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
328      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
329      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
330      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
331      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
332
333    - The d plot command is now supported (previously img failed to parse
334      PLT files using this command) - it's like D but implies the P shot flag.
335
336    - If a PLT file only uses one datum and it is "WGS 1984" then the UTM zone
337      is converted to the appropriate EPSG code and this is reported as the
338      coordinate system.  Other datums could be handled, but the mapping to
339      EPSG code is less simple.  Also it seems Compass supports at least
340      24 datums but it doesn't document all the strings it uses for them.
341      Files with multiple datums could be handled too, but we'd need to convert
342      coordinates to a common coordinate system in the img library, which would
343      need it to depend on PROJ.  Please let us know if support for more and/or
344      mixed datums would be useful to you.
345
346    - Duplicate img_LABEL items are no longer returned - this used to happen
347      for stations where more than two shots met within a single survey.
348
349    - We now infer img_SFLAG_EXPORTED for any station that appears in more
350      than one survey in the PLT file.
351
352    - We now set flag img_SFLAG_FIXED for any station which is listed as
353      a fixed point in the PLT file.
354
355    - If there's only one non-empty section name in a PLT file and we aren't
356      filtering by survey, we now report that section name as the title.  If
357      there are multiple different non-empty section names, we still report the
358      basename of the file as before.  If we're filtering by survey, we report
359      the comment for that survey as before.
360
361    - Fix bug handling PLT with omitted LRUD.  The format specification
362      documents that LRUD may be omitted, though it seems Compass never
363      actually omits it and at least some versions of Compass failed to handle
364      it being omitted too.
365
366* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
367
368* manual:
369
370  + Document Compass support in detail.
371
372  + Improve NATO mils example.
373
374* INSTALL:
375
376  + Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by Andrew
377    Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
378
379  + Document the requirement for a C99 compiler for building from source.
380    We made this a requirement in 1.4.2, but only noted it in NEWS.
381
382* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
383
384* Replace references to "libav" with "FFmpeg" since the libav project seems to
385  now be defunct, and we've always supported using either.
386
387* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros and drop
388  probes for features that we can safely assume now we require a C99 compiler
389  and workarounds for obsolete platforms.
390
391* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
392
393Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
394
395* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
396
397* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
398  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
399
400* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
401
402* Minor translation updates.
403
404Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
405
406* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
407  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
408
409* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
410  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
411  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
412  checks that were rejecting this.
413
414  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
415  really do that's better than that.
416
417  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
418
419* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
420  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
421  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
422  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
423  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
424
425* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
426  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
427
428* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
429  bearing spin control.
430
431* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
432  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
433  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
434  currently but please report issues.
435
436* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
437  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
438  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
439  position".
440
441* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
442  Reported by echarlie
443
444* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
445
446Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
447
448* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
449
450* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
451  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
452
453* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
454  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
455
456* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
457  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
458
459* Minor translation updates.
460
461* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
462  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
463  works on Wayland).
464
465* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
466  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
467
468* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
469
470* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
471  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
472  Requested by Martin Budaj.
473
474Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
475
476* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
477
478* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
479
480* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
481  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
482
483* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
484  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
485  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
486  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
487
488* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
489  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
490  Patch from Thomas Holder.
491
492* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
493  string properly.
494
495* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
496  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
497  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
498  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
499  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
500  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
501  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
502
503* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
504  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
505
506  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
507
508* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
509  where the included filename is actually specified.
510
511* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
512  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
513
514* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
515  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
516  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
517
518* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
519  running on the Continuous Integration system.
520
521* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
522  newer version of Innosetup.  This means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the
523  minimum supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support
524  anyway.
525
526* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
527  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
528
529* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
530
531* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
532  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
533  inconvenience anyone.
534
535Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
536
537* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
538
539* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
540  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
541  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
542  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
543
544* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
545  in 1.4.0.
546
547* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
548
549Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
550
551* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
552  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
553  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
554  Couwenberg.
555
556  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
557  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
558  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
559  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
560
561  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
562  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
563
564* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
565  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
566  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
567
568* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
569  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
570  strings is strongly discouraged.
571
572  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
573
574  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
575
576  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
577  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
578
579* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
580  Green.
581
582* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
583  echarlie.
584
585* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
586  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
587  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
588
589* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
590
591* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
592
593* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
594
595* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
596
597* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
598  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
599  stations not attached to a fixed point.
600
601Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
602
603* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
604  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
605  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
606  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
607  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
608
609* aven:
610
611  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
612    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
613    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
614    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
615    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
616    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
617
618* testsuite:
619
620  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
621    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
622    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
623    process exits.
624
625* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
626
627Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
628
629* aven:
630
631  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
632
633* cavern:
634
635  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
636
637  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
638    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
639    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
640
641  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
642    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
643    until the next *data command with parameters.
644
645  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
646    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
647
648  * Improve test coverage.
649
650* survexport:
651
652  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
653    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
654
655  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
656    Batista.
657
658* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
659  Holder.
660
661* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
662  from Thomas Holder.
663
664* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
665  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
666
667* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
668
669* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
670
671* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
672
673* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
674
675* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
676
677Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
678
679* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
680  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
681  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
682
683* aven:
684
685  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
686    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
687    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
688
689  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
690    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
691    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
692    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
693
694  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
695    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
696    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
697
698  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
699
700Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
701
702* aven:
703
704  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
705
706  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
707    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
708    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
709
710  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
711    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
712    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
713    orientation.
714
715* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
716  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
717  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
718  Richard Knapp.
719
720* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
721  might still need to use them for.
722
723* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
724
725* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
726
727* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
728  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
729  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
730  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
731
732* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
733  is now the recommended approach.
734
735Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
736
737* aven:
738
739  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
740    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
741    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
742    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
743    Brian Clipstone.
744
745  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
746    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
747
748Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
749
750* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
751  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
752  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
753
754* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
755  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
756  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
757  with some compilers.
758
759* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
760  installed.
761
762Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
763
764* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
765  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
766  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
767
768* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
769  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
770  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
771
772* aven:
773
774  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
775    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
776    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
777    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
778    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
779    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
780    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
781    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
782    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
783    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
784    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
785
786  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
787
788* Documentation:
789
790  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
791
792  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
793    placeholder.
794
795  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
796    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
797
798* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
799  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
800  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
801
802* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
803  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
804  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
805  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
806  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
807  location to avoid confusion.
808
809* Add a few more message translations.
810
811* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
812
813Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
814
815* cavern:
816
817  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
818    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
819    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
820    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
821    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
822
823  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
824    now reports "file not found" instead.
825
826  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
827    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
828    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
829
830* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
831
832* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
833  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
834  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
835  removed.
836
837* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
838  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
839  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
840  information.  Patch from James Begley.
841
842Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
843
844* aven:
845
846  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
847    controllable.
848
849  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
850
851  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
852    Patch from Robert Jones.
853
854  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
855    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
856    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
857
858  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
859    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
860
861* cavern:
862
863  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
864    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
865
866  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
867    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
868    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
869    go unnoticed.
870
871* survexport:
872
873  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
874    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
875    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
876
877  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
878    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
879    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
880    Stephen Crabtree.
881
882* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
883
884* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
885  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
886
887* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
888  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
889  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
890  therion's team command.
891
892Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
893
894* aven:
895
896  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
897
898  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
899    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
900    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
901    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
902    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
903    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
904    for new entrances.
905
906  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
907    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
908    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
909    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
910
911  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
912
913  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
914    to show via the right-click menu.
915
916  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
917    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
918    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
919    child surveys of the parent.
920
921  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
922    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
923    survey.
924
925  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
926    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
927
928  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
929
930  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
931    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
932
933  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
934    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
935    filtering this matters more).
936
937* survexport:
938
939  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
940    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
941
942  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
943
944* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
945
946* Minor translation updates.
947
948* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
949
950* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
951
952* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
953
954Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
955
956* aven:
957
958  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
959    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
960    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
961    on screen, printed and exported.
962
963  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
964    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
965    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
966    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
967    survey.
968
969  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
970    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
971    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
972    view.  Reported by Wookey.
973
974  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
975    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
976    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
977
978  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
979    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
980
981  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
982    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
983
984  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
985    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
986
987  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
988    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
989
990  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
991    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
992
993* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
994  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
995  tools could do, plus much more.
996
997* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
998
999* Minor updates to various other translations.
1000
1001* img library:
1002
1003  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
1004
1005  + Improve API documentation.
1006
1007* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
1008  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
1009  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
1010
1011* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
1012  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
1013  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
1014  control what gets exported.
1015
1016Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
1017
1018* aven:
1019
1020  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1021    of 1.2.33.
1022
1023  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
1024
1025Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
1026
1027* aven:
1028
1029  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
1030    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
1031    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
1032    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
1033
1034  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
1035    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
1036    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
1037    Erin Lynch.
1038
1039  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
1040    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
1041    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
1042
1043  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
1044    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
1045    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
1046    unnecessarily.
1047
1048  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
1049    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
1050    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
1051    for this control).
1052
1053  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
1054    under GTK3.
1055
1056  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
1057    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
1058    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
1059
1060  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
1061    current development version).
1062
1063  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
1064    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
1065    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
1066
1067* cavern:
1068
1069  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
1070    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
1071    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
1072    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
1073    "19".
1074
1075* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
1076  Evaristo Quiroga.
1077
1078* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1079
1080* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
1081  milosch.
1082
1083* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
1084  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
1085  translated messages.
1086
1087* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
1088  Indonesian and Polish.
1089
1090* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
1091  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
1092  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1093
1094* Fix a few compiler warnings.
1095
1096* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
1097  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
1098  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
1099
1100* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
1101
1102  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
1103    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
1104    but happens to fail if it isn't.
1105
1106  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
1107
1108  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
1109
1110  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
1111
1112* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
1113  detected at run time on macOS.
1114
1115* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
1116  by the homebrew formula.
1117
1118* buildmacosx.sh:
1119
1120  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
1121    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
1122
1123  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
1124
1125* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
1126  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
1127
1128Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
1129
1130* aven:
1131
1132  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
1133    and Anthony Day.
1134
1135  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
1136    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
1137    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1138    Erin Lynch in #89.
1139
1140  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
1141    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
1142    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
1143    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
1144    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
1145    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
1146    elevations.
1147
1148  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
1149    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
1150    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
1151
1152  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
1153    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
1154    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
1155    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
1156    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
1157    "on".
1158
1159  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
1160    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
1161
1162  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
1163    the display wouldn't update right away.
1164
1165* Manual:
1166
1167  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
1168
1169  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
1170
1171* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
1172  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
1173  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
1174  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
1175  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
1176
1177Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
1178
1179* aven:
1180
1181  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
1182    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
1183    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
1184
1185  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
1186    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
1187    before by others.
1188
1189  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
1190
1191  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
1192    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
1193    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
1194    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
1195    original change.
1196
1197  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
1198    which extends beyond the end of the line).
1199
1200  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
1201    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
1202
1203  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
1204
1205  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
1206
1207  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
1208    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
1209    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
1210    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
1211    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
1212    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
1213    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
1214
1215  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
1216    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
1217
1218  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
1219    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
1220    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
1221
1222  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
1223    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
1224    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
1225    much vertical range.
1226
1227  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
1228    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
1229    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
1230    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
1231    are drawn in this way.
1232
1233  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
1234    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
1235    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
1236    centre should be a single pixel.
1237
1238* cavern:
1239
1240  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
1241    entering passage data where there are side passages.
1242
1243  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
1244    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
1245
1246  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
1247    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
1248    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
1249    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
1250
1251  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
1252    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
1253    Reported by Erin Lynch.
1254
1255  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
1256    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
1257    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
1258    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
1259
1260  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
1261    other messages.
1262
1263* extend:
1264
1265  + Now runs a bit faster.
1266
1267  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
1268    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
1269    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
1270    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
1271    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
1272    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
1273    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
1274    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
1275    be handled better) most welcome.
1276
1277* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
1278
1279* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
1280
1281* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
1282  translations from therion.
1283
1284* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
1285  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
1286
1287* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
1288  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
1289  Footleg.
1290
1291* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
1292
1293* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
1294
1295Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
1296
1297* aven:
1298
1299  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
1300    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1301
1302  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
1303    Suggested by detrito.
1304
1305  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
1306    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
1307
1308  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
1309    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
1310
1311* Add man page for dump3d.
1312
1313Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
1314
1315* aven:
1316
1317  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
1318    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
1319
1320  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
1321    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1322
1323* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
1324  Lynch and "detrito".
1325
1326* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
1327  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
1328
1329Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
1330
1331* cavern:
1332
1333  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
1334    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
1335    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
1336    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
1337    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
1338
1339  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
1340
1341  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
1342
1343  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
1344    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
1345    degrees).
1346
1347* aven:
1348
1349  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
1350    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
1351    Day.
1352
1353  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
1354    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1355
1356  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
1357    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
1358
1359  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
1360    of the line in cavern log window.
1361
1362  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1363
1364  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1365
1366  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
1367    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
1368    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
1369    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
1370    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
1371
1372  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
1373    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
1374    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
1375
1376  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
1377
1378  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
1379
1380  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
1381    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
1382    Atkinson and myself.
1383
1384  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
1385
1386  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
1387    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
1388    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
1389    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
1390    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
1391    survey.
1392
1393  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
1394    lines on my netbook.
1395
1396  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
1397    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
1398    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
1399
1400  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
1401    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
1402    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
1403    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
1404    glitches.
1405
1406  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
1407    we currently list, though slower to write.
1408
1409  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
1410    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
1411
1412  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
1413    warnings when building against a recent version.
1414
1415  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
1416    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
1417    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
1418    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
1419
1420  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
1421    movie export.
1422
1423  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
1424    export.
1425
1426* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1427  James Begley.
1428
1429* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
1430  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
1431
1432* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
1433
1434* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
1435  messages get used automatically.
1436
1437* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
1438  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
1439
1440* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
1441
1442* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
1443
1444* Use https for more URLs which support it.
1445
1446Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
1447
1448* aven:
1449
1450  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
1451    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
1452    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
1453    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
1454    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
1455    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
1456    probably change in the future).
1457
1458  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
1459    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
1460    the survey tree root.
1461
1462  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
1463    the view was recentred).
1464
1465  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
1466    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
1467    wrong direction).
1468
1469  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
1470    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
1471    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
1472
1473  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
1474    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
1475    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
1476    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
1477
1478  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
1479    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
1480
1481  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
1482    addresses #60.
1483
1484  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
1485
1486  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
1487    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
1488    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
1489
1490  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
1491
1492  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
1493    360 or down past 0.
1494
1495  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
1496    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
1497    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
1498    real-valued ones.
1499
1500  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
1501    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
1502
1503  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
1504    Lynch.
1505
1506  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
1507
1508  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
1509    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
1510
1511  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
1512    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
1513    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
1514
1515  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
1516    should now work.
1517
1518* cavern:
1519
1520  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
1521
1522  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
1523    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
1524    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
1525
1526  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
1527    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
1528    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
1529
1530  + Fix check for end of version number array in *require.  We would check up
1531    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
1532    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
1533    issue.
1534
1535  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
1536    by patch from Colin Watson.
1537
1538  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
1539
1540* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1541
1542* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
1543  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
1544
1545* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
1546  used in the same dataset.
1547
1548* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
1549  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
1550
1551* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
1552  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
1553  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
1554
1555* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
1556
1557Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
1558
1559* aven:
1560
1561  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
1562    cavern again.
1563
1564* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
1565  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
1566  location and use the same start menu folder.
1567
1568* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
1569  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
1570
1571* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
1572  by James Begley.
1573
1574Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
1575
1576* aven:
1577
1578  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
1579    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
1580    to address.
1581
1582  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
1583    over the survey tree.
1584
1585  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
1586
1587  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
1588    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
1589
1590  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
1591    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
1592    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
1593    encoded.
1594
1595  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
1596    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
1597    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
1598    terminals which do still support this.
1599
1600  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
1601    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
1602
1603* cavern:
1604
1605  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
1606    Edwards (see #78).
1607
1608  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
1609    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
1610    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
1611    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
1612
1613  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
1614    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
1615    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
1616
1617  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
1618    from Pete Smart (see #69).
1619
1620* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
1621  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
1622  Black.
1623
1624* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
1625
1626* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
1627  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
1628  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
1629  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
1630  Black.
1631
1632* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
1633  Black.
1634
1635* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
1636
1637* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
1638
1639* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
1640
1641* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
1642
1643* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
1644
1645* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
1646  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
1647
1648* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
1649  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
1650  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
1651
1652* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
1653  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
1654  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
1655  privileges or not.
1656
1657Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
1658
1659* aven:
1660
1661  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
1662    Clipstone.
1663
1664  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
1665    Reported by Jenny Black.
1666
1667  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
1668    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
1669    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
1670
1671  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
1672    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
1673    messages.
1674
1675  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
1676    the terminal in 1.2.23.
1677
1678* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
1679  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
1680
1681* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
1682
1683* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
1684  by Wookey.
1685
1686Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
1687
1688* aven:
1689
1690  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
1691    machines.
1692
1693  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
1694
1695  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
1696    already being processed.
1697
1698  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
1699    Reported by Martin Green.
1700
1701  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
1702
1703* cavern:
1704
1705  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
1706    find the original survey notes).
1707
1708  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
1709    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
1710    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
1711    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
1712    progress display to be useful.
1713
1714* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
1715
1716* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
1717  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
1718
1719* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
1720  running cavern.
1721
1722* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
1723  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
1724  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
1725
1726Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
1727
1728* aven:
1729
1730  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
1731    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
1732    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
1733    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
1734    finding this fix.
1735
1736* cavern:
1737
1738  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
1739
1740  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
1741    station.
1742
1743  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
1744    *export.
1745
1746Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
1747
1748* aven:
1749
1750  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
1751    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
1752    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
1753
1754  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
1755
1756  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
1757    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
1758    does.
1759
1760  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
1761    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
1762
1763  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
1764    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
1765
1766  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
1767    as appropriate.
1768
1769  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
1770    values on Windows.
1771
1772* cavern:
1773
1774  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
1775    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
1776    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
1777
1778  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
1779    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
1780
1781  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
1782    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
1783    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
1784    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
1785
1786  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
1787    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
1788    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
1789    Atkinson.
1790
1791  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
1792    actual error rather than on a separate line.
1793
1794  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
1795    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
1796    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
1797    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
1798
1799  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
1800    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
1801    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
1802
1803* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
1804  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
1805  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
1806  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
1807
1808* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
1809
1810* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
1811  "*DECLINATION" command.
1812
1813* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
1814  Reported by Jenny Black.
1815
1816* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
1817  documentation.
1818
1819* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
1820  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
1821
1822* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
1823
1824* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
1825
1826Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
1827
1828* aven:
1829
1830  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
1831    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
1832    the same or very similar by default.
1833
1834  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
1835    Maynard.
1836
1837  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
1838
1839  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
1840
1841  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
1842    away.
1843
1844  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
1845
1846  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
1847    display it.
1848
1849* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
1850  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
1851  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
1852  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
1853
1854* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
1855
1856* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
1857  before 1.2.19.
1858
1859* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
1860  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
1861
1862* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
1863
1864* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
1865  disk image.
1866
1867* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
1868
1869* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
1870  libav features we don't use.
1871
1872* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
1873  a load of libav features we don't use.
1874
1875* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
1876  message in the installer.
1877
1878Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
1879
1880* aven:
1881
1882  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
1883    the exported file in 1.2.18.
1884
1885  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
1886
1887  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
1888    exit full screen mode.
1889
1890  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
1891    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
1892    using since 1.2.7).
1893
1894  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
1895    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
1896    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
1897    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
1898    St. Lawrence.
1899
1900  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
1901    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
1902
1903  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
1904    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
1905    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
1906
1907  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
1908    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
1909    case like we do on other platforms.
1910
1911  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
1912
1913  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
1914    support multi-monitor setups.
1915
1916  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
1917    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
1918
1919  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
1920    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
1921
1922  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
1923    cases.
1924
1925  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
1926    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
1927    Erin Lynch)
1928
1929  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
1930    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
1931    items in in so it uses the full width.
1932
1933  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
1934    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
1935    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
1936    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
1937    window.
1938
1939  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
1940    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
1941    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
1942    only relevant on the first ever run.
1943
1944* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
1945
1946* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
1947  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
1948  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
1949  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
1950  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
1951  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
1952
1953* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
1954  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
1955
1956Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
1957
1958* aven:
1959
1960  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
1961    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
1962    rendering it as a transparent surface.
1963
1964  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
1965    sanely want to perform from the menu.
1966
1967  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
1968    colouring options.
1969
1970  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
1971
1972  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
1973    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
1974    pressing "Escape".
1975
1976  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
1977    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
1978
1979  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
1980    exporting.
1981
1982  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
1983
1984  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
1985    is quite likely to change.
1986
1987  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
1988    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
1989
1990  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
1991    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
1992    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
1993
1994  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
1995
1996  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
1997    markers in orange.
1998
1999  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
2000    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
2001
2002  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
2003    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
2004    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
2005    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
2006    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
2007    them would be better.
2008
2009  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
2010    Gee.
2011
2012  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
2013    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
2014    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
2015
2016  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
2017
2018* cavern:
2019
2020  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
2021    susscorfa).
2022
2023  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
2024    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
2025
2026  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
2027
2028  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
2029    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
2030
2031  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
2032    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
2033
2034* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
2035
2036* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
2037  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
2038  in a modern desktop.
2039
2040* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
2041  the filename in the error message.
2042
2043* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
2044  most complete translations.
2045
2046* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
2047
2048* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
2049  lacks them.
2050
2051* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
2052
2053* Manual:
2054
2055  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
2056    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
2057
2058  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
2059
2060  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
2061
2062  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
2063    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
2064    available for download.
2065
2066* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
2067  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
2068  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
2069
2070* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2071
2072* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
2073
2074Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
2075
2076* MacOS X version:
2077
2078  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
2079
2080  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
2081
2082  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
2083
2084  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
2085
2086  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
2087    currently do this for us.
2088
2089  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
2090
2091  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
2092
2093  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
2094
2095  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
2096    OS X cursor.
2097
2098  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
2099    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
2100    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
2101    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
2102    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
2103    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
2104    with TextEdit.app for example).
2105
2106  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
2107    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
2108
2109  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
2110
2111  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
2112    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
2113
2114  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
2115    Riggs.
2116
2117  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
2118    space.
2119
2120  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
2121
2122  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
2123    10.10.1.
2124
2125  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
2126    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
2127    errors.
2128
2129  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
2130    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
2131    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
2132    wxWidgets build supports by default.
2133
2134  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
2135
2136* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
2137  treat as a single leg.
2138
2139* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
2140
2141* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
2142
2143* aven:
2144
2145  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
2146    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
2147
2148  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
2149    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
2150    1:500).
2151
2152  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
2153    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
2154    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
2155    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
2156
2157  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
2158    there rather than the two animations fighting.
2159
2160  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
2161    fast.
2162
2163  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
2164    when rotating).
2165
2166  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
2167    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
2168
2169* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
2170  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
2171
2172* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
2173
2174* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
2175
2176* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
2177
2178* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
2179
2180* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
2181  we're using git.
2182
2183* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
2184
2185  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
2186    compass.
2187
2188  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
2189
2190  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
2191
2192Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
2193
2194* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
2195
2196* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
2197
2198* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
2199
2200* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
2201  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
2202
2203* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
2204
2205* tests/: Improve test coverage.
2206
2207* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
2208  Greek and Polish.
2209
2210* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
2211  by Martin Sluka.
2212
2213* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
2214  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
2215
2216Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
2217
2218* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
2219  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
2220  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
2221  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
2222  for *cs has also been improved.
2223
2224* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
2225  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
2226  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
2227  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
2228
2229* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
2230  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
2231  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
2232  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
2233  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
2234
2235* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
2236  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
2237  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
2238
2239* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
2240
2241* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
2242
2243* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
2244  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
2245  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
2246
2247* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
2248  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
2249
2250Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
2251
2252* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
2253  system in use in 3d v8 files.
2254
2255* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
2256  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
2257  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
2258  export dialog.
2259
2260* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
2261  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
2262  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
2263  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
2264  rather than having one corner there.
2265
2266* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
2267  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
2268
2269* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
2270  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
2271
2272* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
2273  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
2274  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
2275
2276* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
2277  such as 64-bit Linux.
2278
2279* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
2280  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
2281
2282* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
2283  64-bit platforms.
2284
2285* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
2286  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
2287  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
2288
2289* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
2290  the space available in the aven UI.
2291
2292* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
2293  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
2294  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
2295
2296* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
2297  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
2298
2299* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
2300  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
2301  about unconnected surveys.
2302
2303* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
2304  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
2305
2306* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
2307  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
2308  freed memory.
2309
2310* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
2311
2312* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
2313
2314* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
2315
2316* Fix a compiler warning.
2317
2318* Improve test coverage.
2319
2320Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
2321
2322* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
2323  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
2324  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
2325
2326* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
2327  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
2328  Hugh St Lawrence.
2329
2330* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
2331  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
2332  with using aven on a touch screen device.
2333
2334* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
2335  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
2336
2337* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
2338  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
2339
2340* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
2341  off and back on.
2342
2343* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
2344  up time a little.
2345
2346* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
2347  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
2348
2349* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
2350  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
2351  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
2352  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
2353  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
2354  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
2355  situation too.
2356
2357* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
2358  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
2359  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
2360
2361* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
2362
2363* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
2364
2365* Minor translation updates to French.
2366
2367* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
2368
2369* Testsuite improvements:
2370
2371  + Test that "..." anon station works.
2372
2373  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
2374    fail and give an error count.
2375
2376  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
2377
2378Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
2379
2380* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
2381  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
2382  Clipstone.
2383
2384* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
2385
2386* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
2387
2388  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
2389    overlap the scale bar ticks.
2390
2391  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
2392    clipping the border in print preview.
2393
2394  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
2395
2396* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
2397  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
2398
2399* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
2400  available.
2401
2402* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
2403
2404* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
2405
2406* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
2407  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
2408
2409* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
2410  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
2411
2412* Various translation updates.
2413
2414Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
2415
2416* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
2417  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
2418
2419* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
2420  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
2421  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
2422  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
2423
2424* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
2425  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
2426
2427* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
2428  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
2429
2430* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
2431  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
2432
2433* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
2434  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2435
2436* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
2437  box".
2438
2439* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
2440
2441* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
2442  indicators.
2443
2444* aven: All length units are now translatable.
2445
2446* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
2447  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
2448  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
2449
2450* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
2451  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
2452  measurably slower.
2453
2454* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
2455  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
2456
2457* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
2458  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
2459
2460* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
2461  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
2462  from Therion and elsewhere.
2463
2464* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
2465  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
2466  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
2467
2468* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
2469  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
2470
2471* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
2472  A. Riggs for his work on this.
2473
2474* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
2475  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
2476
2477* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
2478
2479* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
2480  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
2481  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
2482  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
2483  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
2484  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2485
2486* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
2487
2488Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
2489
2490* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
2491  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
2492  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
2493  Clipstone.
2494
2495* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
2496  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
2497
2498* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
2499  exported SVG files.
2500
2501* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
2502
2503* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
2504  file.
2505
2506* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
2507  GPX files.
2508
2509* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
2510
2511* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
2512  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
2513
2514* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
2515  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
2516  on startup.
2517
2518* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
2519
2520* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
2521  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
2522  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
2523  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
2524  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
2525  other extensions.
2526
2527* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
2528  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
2529  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
2530  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
2531  timezone wrong.
2532
2533* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
2534
2535* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
2536  'SURVEY DATE:'.
2537
2538* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
2539
2540* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
2541
2542* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
2543  enabled.
2544
2545Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
2546
2547* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
2548
2549* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
2550
2551* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
2552
2553* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
2554  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
2555  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
2556
2557* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
2558  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
2559  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
2560
2561* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
2562  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
2563
2564* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
2565
2566* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
2567
2568* Fix some compiler warnings.
2569
2570Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
2571
2572* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
2573  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
2574  Holder.
2575
2576* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
2577  statistics when the value gets large.
2578
2579* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
2580  equations.
2581
2582* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
2583  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
2584  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
2585  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
2586  better when the "View" box is hidden.
2587
2588* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
2589  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
2590
2591* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
2592  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
2593  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
2594  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
2595  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
2596  way is coming soon.
2597
2598* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
2599  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
2600
2601* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
2602  time ago, so update references.
2603
2604* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
2605  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2606
2607* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
2608  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
2609
2610* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
2611  Sebastian Ramacher.
2612
2613* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
2614
2615* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
2616
2617* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
2618
2619* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
2620
2621* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
2622
2623* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
2624  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
2625  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
2626
2627* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
2628
2629* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
2630
2631* img library:
2632
2633  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
2634    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
2635    reading).
2636
2637  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
2638    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
2639
2640  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
2641    support these as an extension.
2642
2643  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
2644
2645* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
2646  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
2647  itself has any translations for.
2648
2649* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
2650
2651* Minor translation updates.
2652
2653* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
2654
2655Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
2656
2657* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
2658  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
2659  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
2660  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
2661  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
2662  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
2663  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
2664  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
2665
2666* New version 8 of the 3d format:
2667
2668  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
2669
2670  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
2671    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
2672
2673  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
2674    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
2675
2676  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
2677
2678  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
2679    human-readable string.
2680
2681  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
2682    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
2683
2684* img library:
2685
2686  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
2687
2688  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
2689    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
2690
2691  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
2692    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
2693    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
2694    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
2695    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
2696    explicitly in the file.
2697
2698  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
2699
2700* aven:
2701
2702  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
2703    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
2704    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
2705    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
2706    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
2707    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
2708
2709  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
2710    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
2711    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
2712    queued up.
2713
2714  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
2715    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
2716
2717  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
2718    them like other legs.
2719
2720  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
2721    station names to positions.
2722
2723  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
2724    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
2725    wrongly.
2726
2727  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
2728
2729  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
2730    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
2731    that's used by the desktop).
2732
2733  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
2734
2735  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
2736    error from cavern.
2737
2738  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
2739
2740  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
2741    in the dialog in sync.
2742
2743* cavern:
2744
2745  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
2746    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
2747    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
2748
2749  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
2750    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
2751
2752  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
2753    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
2754    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
2755    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
2756    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
2757    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
2758    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
2759    degrees.
2760
2761  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
2762    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
2763    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
2764
2765  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
2766
2767  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
2768    warnings.
2769
2770  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
2771    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
2772
2773  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
2774    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
2775
2776  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
2777    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
2778    relevant.
2779
2780  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
2781    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
2782    the same line.
2783
2784  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
2785    "End of line not blank" error.
2786
2787  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
2788    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
2789
2790  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
2791    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
2792
2793  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
2794    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
2795    include that character in the token reported.
2796
2797  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
2798    first item.
2799
2800* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
2801
2802* dump3d:
2803
2804  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
2805    info from 3d files in scripts.
2806
2807  + Add --show-dates option.
2808
2809  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
2810
2811  + Report the data style of legs.
2812
2813  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
2814
2815  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
2816
2817* Test suite:
2818
2819  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
2820    expected output so it passes reliably.
2821
2822  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
2823    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
2824
2825  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
2826    for more.
2827
2828* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
2829  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
2830  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
2831
2832* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
2833  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
2834
2835* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
2836  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
2837
2838* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
2839  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
2840  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
2841  settings.
2842
2843* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
2844  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
2845  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
2846  set correctly.
2847
2848* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
2849  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
2850  them to translate.
2851
2852* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
2853  close to complete.
2854
2855* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
2856
2857* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
2858
2859* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
2860
2861Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
2862
2863* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
2864
2865* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
2866  package (ticket#35).
2867
2868* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
2869  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
2870  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
2871
2872* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
2873  Kahler.
2874
2875* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
2876  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
2877  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
2878  libproj and build survex with:
2879
2880      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
2881      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
2882
2883* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
2884
2885* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
2886
2887* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
2888  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
2889  file".
2890
2891Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
2892
2893* aven:
2894
2895  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
2896
2897  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
2898    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
2899
2900  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
2901
2902  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
2903
2904  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
2905    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
2906
2907* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
2908  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
2909  error early on).
2910
2911* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
2912  the man page source as well as in the filename.
2913
2914Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
2915
2916* aven:
2917
2918  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
2919    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
2920    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
2921    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
2922
2923  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
2924    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
2925
2926  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
2927
2928  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
2929
2930  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
2931
2932* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
2933
2934Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
2935
2936* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
2937
2938* (Mac OS X version):
2939
2940  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
2941
2942  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
2943
2944  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
2945    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
2946
2947  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
2948
2949* aven:
2950
2951  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
2952
2953  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
2954
2955    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
2956      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
2957      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
2958      character.
2959
2960    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
2961      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
2962      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
2963      and two in a few cases.
2964
2965    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
2966      8 pixels.
2967
2968  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
2969    draw crosses.
2970
2971  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
2972    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
2973    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
2974    is the start or end of a tube.
2975
2976  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
2977    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
2978
2979  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
2980    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
2981    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
2982
2983* extend:
2984
2985  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
2986
2987  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
2988    which means "no info").
2989
2990* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
2991  was no longer used - it certainly is!
2992
2993* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
2994  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
2995  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
2996  current character set.
2997
2998* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
2999
3000* Test suite:
3001
3002  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
3003
3004  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
3005
3006Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
3007
3008* aven:
3009
3010  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
3011    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
3012    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
3013    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
3014    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
3015    usable format.
3016
3017  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
3018    files.  (ticket#26)
3019
3020  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
3021    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
3022
3023  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
3024    using lines.
3025
3026  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
3027    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
3028
3029  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
3030    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
3031    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
3032    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
3033
3034  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
3035    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
3036    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
3037
3038  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
3039    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
3040    in 1.2.1.
3041
3042Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
3043
3044* Translation updates for US English.
3045
3046* aven:
3047
3048  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
3049    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
3050
3051  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
3052
3053  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
3054    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
3055    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
3056    visually similar to the survey legs.
3057
3058  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
3059    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
3060
3061  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
3062    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
3063    does still provide some useful information).
3064
3065  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
3066    a depth band boundary.
3067
3068  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
3069    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
3070    full-screen mode).
3071
3072  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
3073    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
3074    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
3075    are a little better, though still not perfect.
3076
3077  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
3078    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
3079
3080  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
3081    that station.
3082
3083  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
3084    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
3085
3086  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
3087    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
3088    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
3089    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
3090    a case as it is a bug).
3091
3092  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
3093    invalidated on window width or height changes.
3094
3095  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
3096    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
3097    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
3098    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
3099
3100  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
3101    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
3102    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
3103    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
3104    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
3105    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
3106    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
3107
3108  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
3109    similarly for other compass points.
3110
3111  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
3112    info in the "About" dialog.
3113
3114  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
3115    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
3116
3117  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
3118    as well as still working with older versions.
3119
3120  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
3121    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
3122
3123  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
3124    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
3125    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
3126    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
3127    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
3128
3129  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
3130    nicer and make better use of the available space.
3131
3132  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
3133    dialog.
3134
3135  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
3136    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
3137
3138  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
3139    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
3140
3141  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
3142
3143  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
3144
3145  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
3146    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
3147    being pressed and toggle full screen.
3148
3149* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
3150  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
3151
3152* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
3153
3154* More messages are now available to be translated.
3155
3156* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
3157  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
3158
3159* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
3160
3161* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
3162  sudo for installing on Unix.
3163
3164* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
3165  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
3166
3167* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
3168  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
3169
3170* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
3171
3172Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
3173
3174* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
3175  English.
3176
3177* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
3178  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
3179  case.
3180
3181* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
3182  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
3183  these into Survex's .msg format.
3184
3185* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
3186  an actual command).
3187
3188* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
3189  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
3190  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
3191  recurrence of that).
3192
3193* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
3194  than /usr/doc/survex.
3195
3196* aven:
3197
3198  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
3199
3200  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
3201    nicer at larger sizes.
3202
3203  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
3204    with GLX >= 1.3.
3205
3206  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
3207
3208  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
3209    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
3210    required libraries set up for building releases.
3211
3212  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
3213
3214  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
3215
3216  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
3217    rendered with icons on some platforms.
3218
3219  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
3220    ISO8859-1).
3221
3222  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
3223    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
3224
3225  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
3226    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
3227
3228* cavern:
3229
3230  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
3231    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
3232    fatal error!
3233
3234  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
3235    format to output.  (ticket#21)
3236
3237* img library:
3238
3239  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
3240    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
3241
3242* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
3243  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
3244
3245Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
3246
3247* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
3248  Portuguese, and US English.
3249
3250* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
3251  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
3252
3253* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
3254  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
3255
3256* img.c:
3257
3258  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
3259
3260  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
3261
3262* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
3263
3264* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
3265  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
3266  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
3267  translated.
3268
3269Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
3270
3271* aven:
3272
3273  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
3274    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
3275
3276  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
3277    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
3278    addresses ticket#12.
3279
3280  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
3281    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
3282    consistent shape.
3283
3284  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
3285    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
3286    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
3287    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
3288
3289  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
3290    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
3291
3292  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
3293
3294  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
3295    more places.
3296
3297  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
3298    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
3299
3300* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
3301
3302* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
3303  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
3304
3305* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
3306
3307* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
3308  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
3309  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
3310  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
3311  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
3312  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
3313
3314* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
3315  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
3316  redirecting to it.
3317
3318* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
3319  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
3320  I/O).
3321
3322* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
3323  headers.
3324
3325* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
3326
3327* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
3328  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
3329
3330* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
3331
3332Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
3333
3334* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
3335
3336* aven:
3337
3338  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
3339    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
3340    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
3341    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
3342
3343  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
3344
3345  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
3346    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
3347    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
3348    a number.
3349
3350  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
3351    log window.
3352
3353  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
3354    various cases.
3355
3356  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
3357    (ticket#9)
3358
3359  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
3360    namespace with its own "Point" class.
3361
3362  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
3363    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
3364
3365  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
3366
3367  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
3368    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
3369
3370* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
3371  give them before.
3372
3373* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
3374  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
3375  point looking for them now.
3376
3377* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
3378  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
3379  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
3380  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
3381
3382* manual:
3383
3384  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
3385
3386  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
3387    (change taken from 1.0).
3388
3389* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
3390
3391Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
3392
3393* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
3394
3395* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
3396
3397* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
3398
3399* aven:
3400
3401  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
3402
3403  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
3404    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
3405    seem to be Unicode now).
3406
3407  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
3408    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
3409
3410  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
3411    text on the survey pane:
3412
3413    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
3414
3415    - Character spacing is improved.
3416
3417    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
3418
3419  + "About" dialog:
3420
3421    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
3422      bug reporting.
3423
3424    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
3425      modern gfx card.
3426
3427    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
3428
3429  + Processing .svx files:
3430
3431    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
3432
3433    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
3434      than opening a separate frame for it.
3435
3436    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
3437
3438    - Fix small memory leak.
3439
3440  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
3441    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
3442    such a name.
3443
3444  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
3445
3446  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
3447    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
3448    invocations.
3449
3450  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
3451
3452  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
3453
3454  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
3455
3456* Documentation:
3457
3458  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
3459
3460  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
3461    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
3462    together isn't very useful.
3463
3464  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
3465
3466  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
3467    the FSF website.
3468
3469  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
3470    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
3471    the source code.
3472
3473* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
3474  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
3475
3476* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
3477  package from the source tarball.
3478
3479* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
3480  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
3481
3482Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
3483
3484* aven:
3485
3486  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
3487
3488  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
3489
3490  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
3491    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
3492    names/crosses).
3493
3494Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
3495
3496* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
3497
3498* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
3499
3500* aven:
3501
3502  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
3503
3504  + Fix character spacing.
3505
3506  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
3507    proportional fonts.
3508
3509  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
3510    rather than the filename.
3511
3512  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
3513
3514  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
3515    depth colouring.
3516
3517  + Add "Colour by Error".
3518
3519  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
3520
3521  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
3522
3523  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
3524
3525  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
3526
3527  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
3528
3529  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
3530
3531  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
3532
3533  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
3534    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
3535
3536  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
3537
3538  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
3539    default.
3540
3541* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
3542  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
3543
3544* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
3545  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
3546
3547* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
3548
3549* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
3550
3551Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
3552
3553* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
3554  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
3555  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
3556  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
3557  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
3558
3559* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
3560  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
3561  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
3562
3563* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
3564  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
3565  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
3566
3567* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
3568  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
3569  allowed).
3570
3571* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
3572
3573* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3574
3575* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3576
3577Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
3578
3579* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
3580  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
3581
3582* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
3583  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
3584  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
3585
3586* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
3587  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
3588  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
3589  the new "*data passage" style.
3590
3591* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
3592  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
3593
3594* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
3595  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
3596  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
3597  some cases.
3598
3599* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
3600  with no survey loaded.
3601
3602* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
3603
3604* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
3605  loaded a survey.
3606
3607* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
3608
3609* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
3610
3611* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
3612  doesn't exist.
3613
3614* Updated French and Italian translations.
3615
3616* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
3617  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
3618
3619* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
3620  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
3621  update their copy).
3622
3623* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
3624  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
3625  trying to compile).
3626
3627Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
3628
3629* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
3630  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
3631
3632* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
3633  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
3634  has been disabled.
3635
3636* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
3637  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
3638  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
3639  time.
3640
3641* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
3642  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
3643  highlighted stations.
3644
3645* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
3646
3647* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
3648  the tilt from plan to elevation.
3649
3650* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
3651  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
3652
3653* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
3654  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
3655  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
3656
3657* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
3658  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
3659
3660* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
3661
3662* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
3663
3664* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
3665
3666* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
3667  run by an unprivileged user.
3668
3669* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
3670  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
3671  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
3672
3673* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
3674  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
3675
3676* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
3677
3678* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
3679  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
3680
3681* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
3682  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
3683
3684* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
3685  if it isn't.
3686
3687* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
3688  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
3689
3690* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
3691  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
3692
3693* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
3694  reset to default view as well).
3695
3696* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
3697  empty.
3698
3699* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
3700  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
3701
3702* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
3703  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
3704  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
3705
3706* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
3707  and non-zero width lines.
3708
3709* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
3710  was turned on.
3711
3712* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
3713  not always being fully written.
3714
3715Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
3716
3717* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
3718  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
3719  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
3720  date near the middle of that period).
3721
3722* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
3723  with MS Windows).
3724
3725* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
3726  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
3727  several surveys in the same directory).
3728
3729* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
3730  our check for them to include that knowledge.
3731
3732* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
3733
3734* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
3735  moved off a station.
3736
3737* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
3738  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
3739
3740* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
3741
3742* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
3743  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
3744
3745* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
3746  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
3747  dialogs.
3748
3749* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
3750  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
3751
3752* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
3753  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
3754  introduced in 1.1.6).
3755
3756* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
3757  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
3758  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
3759
3760* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
3761  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
3762
3763* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
3764
3765* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
3766
3767Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
3768
3769* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
3770  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
3771
3772* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
3773  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
3774  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
3775  3d file.
3776
3777* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
3778
3779* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
3780
3781* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
3782  Instead turn off depth colouring.
3783
3784* aven: Export as HPGL added.
3785
3786* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
3787  Martin Green).
3788
3789* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
3790  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
3791  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
3792
3793* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
3794
3795* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
3796  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
3797
3798* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
3799  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
3800  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
3801  of everything else.
3802
3803* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
3804  presentation icons.
3805
3806* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
3807  keyboard focus there.
3808
3809* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
3810
3811* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
3812
3813* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
3814
3815* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
3816
3817* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
3818  language to use for messages.
3819
3820* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
3821  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
3822
3823* Removed old printer drivers.
3824
3825* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
3826  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
3827
3828Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
3829
3830* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
3831
3832* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
3833
3834* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
3835  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
3836
3837* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
3838  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
3839
3840* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
3841
3842* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
3843  underground legs is toggled.
3844
3845* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
3846  attached to the previous data.
3847
3848* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
3849  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
3850  them.
3851
3852Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
3853
3854* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
3855
3856* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
3857  continental European countries).
3858
3859* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
3860  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
3861  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
3862
3863* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
3864
3865* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
3866  they're needed.
3867
3868* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
3869
3870* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
3871
3872* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
3873
3874* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
3875  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
3876  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
3877
3878* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
3879
3880Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
3881
3882* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
3883
3884* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
3885
3886* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
3887
3888* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
3889
3890* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
3891
3892* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
3893
3894* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
3895  when there's a presentation loaded.
3896
3897* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
3898  in cave view.
3899
3900* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
3901
3902* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
3903  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
3904  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
3905
3906* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
3907  filename for file history and window title.
3908
3909* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
3910  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
3911  only needed with GTK1.2.
3912
3913* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
3914
3915* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
3916
3917* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
3918
3919* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
3920
3921Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
3922
3923* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
3924  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
3925  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
3926
3927* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
3928  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
3929
3930* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
3931  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
3932  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
3933  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
3934
3935* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
3936
3937* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
3938  with --help and --version.
3939
3940* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
3941  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
3942  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
3943  Fixed all these problems.
3944
3945* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
3946  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
3947  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
3948
3949* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
3950  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
3951  sources.
3952
3953* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
3954
3955* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
3956
3957* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
3958  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
3959
3960* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
3961  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
3962  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
3963  animating.
3964
3965* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
3966
3967* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
3968
3969* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
3970  to this branch.
3971
3972* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
3973
3974  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
3975
3976  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
3977
3978  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
3979
3980* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
3981
3982* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
3983  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
3984
3985* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
3986
3987* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
3988  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
3989
3990* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
3991
3992* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
3993  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
3994  for anyone building from CVS).
3995
3996* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
3997
3998* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
3999
4000* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
4001
4002* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
4003
4004* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
4005  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
4006  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
4007
4008* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
4009  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
4010
4011* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
4012
4013* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
4014  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
4015  loaded).
4016
4017* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
4018
4019Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
4020
4021* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
4022  startup.
4023
4024* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
4025  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
4026
4027Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
4028
4029* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
4030  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
4031  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
4032
4033* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
4034  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
4035  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
4036
4037* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
4038  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
4039  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
4040
4041* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
4042
4043* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
4044  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
4045
4046* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
4047  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
4048
4049* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
4050  better use of screen space.
4051
4052* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
4053
4054* aven: Perspective view.
4055
4056* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
4057
4058* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
4059  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
4060
4061* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
4062  and load/save/run them.
4063
4064* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
4065
4066* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
4067
4068* aven: Depth fogging option.
4069
4070* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
4071
4072* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
4073
4074* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
4075  showing the surface legs.
4076
4077* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
