1Changes in 1.4.13 (2024-12-01):
2
3* aven:
4
5  + Don't show crosses on anonymous stations since they just clutter up the
6    display (especially for anonymous splays).  Suggested by Andrew Atkinson.
7
8  + Fix 1.4.10 regression in plotting of station names.  Each anonymous station
9    was blocking out a small rectangle which no actual station name could
10    overlap.  Reported by Špela Borko.
11
12  + Reduced start-up time by only initialising GDAL if we have overlays to
13    show.
14
15  + (Microsoft Windows version): Avoid recurring "GDAL support not enabled in
16    this build" message box.  This message is now only shown once if you try to
17    add an overlay.  Reported by Špela Borko.
18
19* cavern:
20
21  + Update to use v14 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
22    This was issued in November 2024 and should give slightly more accurate
23    declinations for surveys made since 2015.  Fixes #137.
24
25  + The component count was wrong in some cases, and we calculate the number
26    of loops using this component count, so the loop count would also be wrong
27    by the same amount in these cases.
28
29  + The component count and loop count are now reported when there are
30    unconnected survey stations.
31
32  + *date now support ISO format dates.  Fixes #96, reported by Milosch.
33
34  + *date now support date types "surveyed" and "explored" (existing usage
35    without an explicit type is interpreted as "surveyed").
36
37  + If the output directory isn't writable or doesn't exist we would complain
38    that we can't create the .err file - now we try to create the .3d file
39    first so complain about that instead which seems more helpful.  Reported by
40    Eric C. Landgraf.
41
42  + When inventing a fixed point we now avoid picking a fixed point which is
43    only attached to nosurvey legs if there's another option.  The code was
44    already meant to do this but it was buggy and we lacked a testcase for this
45    situation.
46
47  + Survey network reduction now finds some delta-star opportunities which were
48    being overlooked.  This allows more complicated networks to be reduced
49    further so fewer and/or smaller matrices need solving, which is faster.
50
51  + Survey network reduction now handles a "lollipop" with a fixed stick end
52    specially which is a little bit faster.  A more visible consequence is
53    fewer "Solving one equation..." messages when solving a complex survey
54    network.
55
56  + Survey network reduction now makes use of articulating legs to split up the
57    problem a little more, so we will often now solve more but smaller matrices
58    which should be faster.
59
60  + Assigning matrix row numbers now identifies equated stations in a slightly
61    more efficient way.
62
63* dump3d: Provide a way to get ISO format dates output.
64
65* Documentation:
66
67  + Improve documentation of *date in the manual.  When a partial date is
68    specified (just a year, or a year and month only) the documentation claimed
69    the centre of that year or month is used but actually this case is treated
70    as a date range covering the whole year or month (respectively).  The end
71    result is effectively the same as what was previously documented though
72    since the centre of a date range is used as the date for calculating
73    automatic declinations and is the date used by aven.
74
75* Test suite:
76
77  + Adjust hpglexport testcase to avoid i386 excess precision causing one of
78    the HPGL coordinates to differ by one from its value calculated without
79    excess precision.
80
81* Assorted translation updates.
82
83Changes in 1.4.12 (2024-10-23):
84
85* aven:
86
87  + (Microsoft Windows version): Geodata overlays are (hopefully temporarily)
88    no longer available in the pre-built version of Survex installed by the
89    Microsoft Windows installer.  We use the GDAL library to load them and
90    there's a hard to debug problem during DLL initialisation somewhere in its
91    dependency tree.  If you really need geodata overlays, the 1.4.9 installer
92    still works.  Thanks to Wookey for extensive testing to investigate the
93    problem, and to everyone else who reported this.
94
95* cavern:
96
97  + A leg with the same station as from and to is now only a warning in
98    Compass data.  Compass itself seems to quietly ignore such legs, but
99    they seem worth warning about.  In native Survex data this is still
100    an error.
101
102  + Short survey and station names are now stored without an extra memory
103    allocation.  On a 64-bit platform (most modern computers) we can store
104    name components up to 7 characters in this way; on a 32-bit platform
105    up to 3 characters.  On a large dataset which needs large matrices
106    solving this reduces cavern's memory usage by 3.5MB (~4.5%).  It's
107    also fractionally faster (but only ~0.05% which is not normally even
108    measurable).
109
110  + Assigning matrix row numbers to stations is now faster and allocates
111    less memory.
112
113* (Microsoft Windows version): The Microsoft Windows installer is now
114  named `survex-microsoft-windows-1.4.12.exe`.  The old name was
115  `survex-win32-1.4.11.exe` but the "win32" is now misleading as it's been a
116  64-bit build since 1.4.9.  Reported by Wookey.
117
118* Testsuite:
119
120  + dump3d.tst: Add tests of img library's survey filtering.
121
122  + cavern.tst: Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in JSON test output before
123    comparing with expected output.  We can get -0.00 on x86 due to excess
124    precision.
125
126* img library:
127
128  + Survey filtering now works correctly for files which use a survey level
129    separator other than `.`.  Patch https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/14
130    from Thomas Holder.
131
132  + Reading a v7 or earlier .3d format extended elevation with survey filtering
133    was failing to set is_extended_elevation.
134
135Changes in 1.4.11 (2024-08-14):
136
137* aven:
138
139  + Add imperial scales for export and printing.  Fixes #132, reported by Eric
140    C. Landgraf.
141
142* aven/survexport:
143
144  + HPGL export now uses pen 2 for splays and pen 3 for surface legs.  Partly
145    addresses #60.
146
147  + HPGL export now supports scaling (previous the scale was always
148    1:40000).
149
150  + KML export now distinguishes surface legs and splays using different
151    line styles.  Partly addresses #60.
152
153  + Remove Skencil export support.  The last release of Skencil was in 2005.
154    There was an attempt to revive the project in 2010, but that didn't lead to
155    another release and seems to have petered out.  No current Linux distro (or
156    other package system) seems to have Skencil packages, and the current git
157    version still appears to require Python 2 which is being phased out.
158
159* cavern:
160
161  + Support `*data ignore` to allow ignoring a block of survey data lines.
162    Closes #114, reported by Alastair Gott.
163
164  + Report error for bad final reading in `*data` command (previously such a
165    bad reading was quietly ignored).
166
167  + If the survey in `*end` doesn't match that in `*begin` the location of
168    that `*begin` is now reported as well - the second message here is new
169    for example:
170
171     badbegin.svx:6:8: error: Survey name doesn't match BEGIN
172      *end   bar
173             ^~~
174     badbegin.svx:4:13: info: Corresponding BEGIN was here
175      *begin      foo
176                  ^~~
177
178  + Now shows a context line for a reading which was on the previous line,
179    which can happen for interleaved data styles.
180
181  + Warn when a token is not followed by a blank, comment or end of line.
182    This is an unintentional tokenisation oddity which has been present
183    for a really long time.  We don't want to break files that rely on this
184    (even if they likely only do accidentally) so emit a warning rather than
185    an error.
186
187    This warning can easily be eliminated by adding a space where indicated,
188    which will work with old and new Survex versions.  Fixes #135.
189
190  + Errors and warnings which report an unexpected token now report a
191    contiguous span of letters and numbers rather than just letters in cases
192    where a number can't follow (which is the majority of cases).
193
194  + If `*require` isn't satisfied, the `*require` line is now shown for
195    context (especially helpful if there's a comment after the command noting
196    the reason for the requirement, as we now suggest in the manual).
197
198  + `*require` version parsing improved - spaces are no longer tolerated in
199    a version number and trailing junk after the version number is now
200    handled more consistently.
201
202  + Fixed several situations in which the highlighting of the context for a
203    diagnostic was off by a small number of columns.
204
205  + Optimise building of matrix during network solving.
206
207  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files:
208
209    - After reporting an error for an unsupported datum, we now set the datum
210      to WGS84 to prevent triggering further errors from code which tries to
211      use the datum.
212
213    - Parse Walls WPJ commands as alphanumeric rather than alphabetic tokens,
214      which better matches how Walls parses them.  This only makes a difference
215      in the error message when we don't recognise a WPJ command.
216
217* Documentation:
218
219  + Note `feet` are international feet and how to select a different
220    definition in `*units` docs.
221
222  + Document `grads` are also known as "neugrads" and "gons" in `*units` docs.
223
224* Assorted translation updates.
225
226* testsuite:
227
228  + Fix bug in normalisation of `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before
229    comparing with expected output.
230
231* Update and improve vim syntax highlighting:
232
233  + `*cartesian` added
234
235  + `*data ignore` added
236
237  + `mils` units now highlighted as deprecated
238
239  + `UP` and `DOWN` are no longer highlighted anywhere in a command
240
241  + `U`, `D`, `LEVEL`, `-V`, `+V`, `.`, `..` and `...` now highlighted in data
242    lines
243
244  + Repeated `NOT` in `*flags` is now highlighted as an error
245
246  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to not flag an error just
247    because there's a comment after the filename
248
249  + Fix error highlighting for unquoted `*include` to work when there's
250    whitespace between `*` and `include`
251
252Changes in 1.4.10 (2024-08-05):
253
254* aven:
255
256  + Use a fixed rotation rate for rotating the view to North, South, East or
257    West (shortcut keys `N`, `S`, `E` and `W`).  We were using the same
258    variable rate which auto-rotation does for this case, but really these are
259    just animations to help the user see the change that's happening, so a
260    fixed rate makes more sense (and is what tilting to plan or elevation
261    does).  The new fixed rotation rate for this is double what the default
262    variable rate was, which means the longest rotation (e.g. from S to N)
263    takes 3 seconds rather than 6.
264
265* aven/survexport:
266
267  + Fix syntax of shot flags in PLT export (incorrect since introduced in
268    1.4.6).
269
270  + Map Survex duplicate flag to `L` shot flag in PLT export.
271
272  + Invent shorter names for anonymous stations in PLT export.  The PLT file
273    format documentation says station names can be up to 12 characters, but the
274    ones we generated were longer than this which is liable to trip up
275    consumers of this format that only allow for the specified length.
276    We now generate names using a sequential counter with a two character
277    prefix so they should fit in the 12 character limit for any cave
278    survey.
279
280  + 3D export now includes all leg and station flags.
281
282* cavern:
283
284  + Unconnected survey stations are now handled as a warning, whereas
285    previously this was an error.  This is necessary when processing Walls data
286    where it seems having hanging surveys is the norm, and Walls itself only
287    warns about them.
288
289    The support is also enabled for native Survex data since it allows viewing
290    the connected parts of a survey with missing connections without having to
291    comment out the unconnected parts (and then remember to fully uncomment
292    once connections are surveyed).  Fixes #16, reported by Duncan Collis.
293
294    Currently the component count and loop count are not shown in this case.
295
296  + Avoid multiple reports of an unconnected survey station.  This could happen
297    in some cases where a group of equated stations had more than four legs
298    connected to it.
299
300  + Fix missing report of unconnected survey station.  We aim to report at
301    least one station in every unconnected piece of survey, but if a piece had
302    been simplified to a single station which was anonymous (e.g. a disto splay
303    shot) then we wouldn't report anything for that piece.  Now we find the
304    traverse that was attached to it and report the next station along that
305    traverse.
306
307  + Report file and line location each unconnected survey station.
308
309  + This warning now says either `*entrance` or `*export` depending on which
310    it actually was:
311
312      Station "bar.1" referred to by *entrance or *export but never used
313
314  + Fix several cases of mishandling comments without blanks before them:
315
316    - After an anonymous station.
317
318    - After an ignored reading.  The `ignore` would incorrectly also skip the
319      comment character and any characters which followed up to the next blank
320      or end of line.
321
322    - In a `*alias` command.
323
324    - Diagnostic highlighting could continue into a comment.
325
326  + New `*cartesian` command which supports different orientations of
327    `cartesian` style data.
328
329  + Anonymous stations are now supported in `cartesian` style data.
330
331  + `*fix a reference` (without any coordinates) is now an error.  The
332    `reference` token provides a way to have a list of known fixed points which
333    are not expected to all be currently used, while omitting the coordinates
334    provides a way to specify a point to arbitrarily fix rather than rely on
335    cavern picking one.  Allowing both together doesn't really make sense.
336
337  + Improve check for 180° backclino to suppress the warning about a compass
338    reading on a plumbed leg (introduced in 1.4.8) to allow a small tolerance
339    on the value.  Previously the check wasn't working on x86 Linux for
340    example.
341
342  + When showing a line as the location of a diagnostic we now render any
343    tab character as a single space which means the `^~~~~` highlight length
344    is now correct even when the highlighted part contains tabs.  This only
345    affects use from a terminal as the highlight was already correctly handled
346    when viewing the log in aven.
347
348  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files (thanks to Eric
349    C. Landgraf and Joe for a lot of great feedback from testing with large
350    datasets):
351
352    - The `RECT=` option is now fully supported.
353
354    - Fix `#DATE` with an active `.REF` to act like `DECL=`.  This matches what
355      the documentation says and what Walls seems to actually do.
356
357    - Allow completely omitting the clino on a wall shot (with `ORDER=DAV` or
358      `ORDER=ADV`).
359
360    - Resolve WPJ `.PATH` relative to innermost containing book.
361
362    - Handle an empty Walls station name.  Walls allows a station with an
363      explicit prefix to have an empty name, e.g. `PEP:`.  The Walls
364      documentation doesn't mention this, though it also doesn't explicitly say
365      the name can't be empty.  This quirk seems unlikely to be intentionally
366      used and Survex doesn't allow an empty station name, so we issue a
367      warning and use the name `empty name` (which has a space in, so can't
368      collide with a real Walls station name which can't contain a space) - so
369      `PEP:` in Walls becomes `PEP.empty name` in Survex.
370
371    - Flag stations with explicit Walls prefix as exported.
372
373    - Fix setting empty Walls macro with a comment right after it.
374
375    - Walls quietly ignores junk after the numeric argument in `TYPEAB=`,
376      `TYPEVB=`, `UV=`, `UVH=`, and `UVV=`.  This seems to be an undocumented
377      feature/bug so Survex emits a warning and skips the junk.
378
379    - After an unknown Walls option we now process the rest of the line.
380      Previously we were skipping the rest of the line.
381
382    - We no longer skip the rest of the line after a bad Walls `ORDER=` option.
383
384    - Correct the reported column for some Walls option diagnostics.
385
386    - Support explicit units on Walls clino readings.
387
388    - Allow `#` in Walls station names.  This is explicitly documented as not
389      allowed, but the documentation doesn't match the implementation and `#`
390      is present in some real-world data.
391
392    - Improve handling of Walls `RESTORE` error.  Highlight the position in the
393      line and don't skip the rest of the line.
394
395    - Don't warn about `INCH=` with a zero argument since that's the one case
396      of it we do handle!
397
398    - Fix not to skip the rest of the line after Walls `INCH=` option.
399      We currently don't support `INCH=` so we warn about it, but we were
400      skipping the rest of the line, then trying to read and discard the
401      argument to `INCH=` which gave an error.
402
403    - Relax handling of Walls `CASE=`.  It's not documented, but Walls32.exe
404      quietly treats unknown values as "Mixed".
405
406    - Support DM and DMS format for latitude and longitude in Walls `#FIX`,
407      e.g. `W97:43.875` and `W97:43:52.5` .
408
409    - Treat a zero length leg with finite variance like a Survex `*equate`.
410
411    - Apply Walls variance overrides to survey legs.
412
413    - The optional instrument and target heights are now parsed, but their
414      values are currently ignored.
415
416    - The delimiters around LRUD data are now parsed, but the LRUD data between
417      them is currently ignored.
418
419    - If a `#SEGMENT` value looks like a set of Compass shot flags (i.e.
420      consists only of upper case characters from `CLPSX`, optionally prefixed
421      with a `/` or `\`) then we interpret them as Compass shot flags (except
422      that `X` is mapped the same way as `L`).  This is apparently a common way
423      to use `#SEGMENT`, and unlikely to be triggered accidentally.
424
425    - Avoid a doubled directory separator when building Walls path names.
426
427* documentation:
428
429  + The manual has been converted from DocBook to reStructured Text.  The
430    plain-text format is much easier for making changes, and for users the
431    output from sphinx looks nicer and has extra features (like built-in
432    "Quick search" in the HTML output).
433
434    The plain text version of the manual is no longer generated.  Sphinx can
435    produce one but the .rst sources actually seem more readable for anyone
436    wanting to read the manual in plain text.
437
438    The extra targets to generate the manual in RTF and PostScript
439    have been dropped as I doubt they are still used (we stopped
440    providing them on the website years ago).  They could probably be
441    reinstated if there's a demand for them.
442
443    The conversion was partly automated followed by a full pass over the
444    result fixing issues with the automated conversion.  We took the
445    opportunity to also review the content and update or remove out of
446    date and other incorrect information, and to reorder some of the content.
447
448  + Document all the statistics in the `.err` file
449
450  + Document PLT export.
451
452  + Minor improvements to --help output
453
454  + The HTML version of the 1.4.9 manual was missing the Walls chapter
455    and had messed up paging links around it (due to the new CMAP chapter
456    accidentally also being given the filename `walls.htm`).  Reported by Eric
457    C. Landgraf.
458
459  + Document we don't enforce Walls' station or prefix length limits.
460
461  + Document handling of Walls `#NOTE`.
462
463  + Fix documentation of Walls `FLAG=` which is correctly handled, not skipped.
464
465  + Document how to compare Walls and Survex output via Shapefile.
466
467  + Document how to suppress unused fixed point warning in Walls SRV.
468
469* testsuite:
470
471  + Add testcase for Walls `#units order=da`.
472
473  + Add expected output for more testcases
474
475  + Add testcase for exporting .3d files.
476
477  + Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before comparing to avoid bogus
478    test failures due to excess precision on x86 when using 387 FP
479    instructions.
480
481  + Add test of DXF export with full coordinates.
482
483* translations:
484
485  + Diagnostics can now use positional arguments which sometimes allows a
486    more natural word order in a translated message.
487
488Changes in 1.4.9 (2024-07-04):
489
490* aven:
491
492  + Support showing geodata overlays in Aven.  We use the GDAL library to load
493    the data, so this should work for any format which GDAL supports so long as
494    it can be read from the filing system and is geo-referenced vector data -
495    see https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html for a list.  Currently the
496    dialog to select a file defaults to showing GPX, KML, GeoJSON and shape
497    files - set the filter to "All Files" to chose other formats.
498
499  + Reimplement display of cavern output.  The old version turned the log into
500    HTML and displayed it using wxHtmlWindow, but that adds a lot of overhead
501    and is especially inefficient if there are many diagnostics - cavern could
502    finish almost instantly yet aven could take many seconds to process the
503    output.  The new version renders directly from the log data.  It should
504    have most of the features from before - the only missing feature I'm
505    currently aware of is that you can't now select and copy text from the log
506    window, which wxHtmlWindow provided for free.  If people miss this feature,
507    we could add it to the new implementation.
508
509  + (Microsoft Windows version): Clicks in the cavern log window which load
510    files into an editor now protect the filename if it starts with a dash
511    to prevent it being interpreted as a command line option.  We already
512    do this for other platforms, but weren't on Microsoft Windows on the
513    assumption that it isn't needed because the filenames will be fully
514    qualified, but that may not be the case if aven if run by hand from the
515    command line or from some other launcher.
516
517* cavern:
518
519  + Add support for processing Walls format survey data (.SRV and .WPJ files).
520    This support is somewhat experimental but at a point where it seems useful
521    to make it easier for people to try out.  See the manual for a list of
522    known shortcomings.  Thanks to Eric C. Landgraf for a lot of testing and
523    encouragement.
524
525  + Fix bug with Compass DAT diving data.  If a survey uses the depth gauge
526    then since 1.4.6 we set its style to "diving", but we weren't clearing that
527    so all surveys after than in the same DAT file were also set as "diving".
528
529  + When parsing of Compass DAT files we report errors in more cases if the
530    input doesn't conform to the format we expect, rather than potentially
531    quietly misinterpreting the data.
532
533  + *entrance now suppresses "Unused fixed point" warning.  This warning is
534    intended to catch typos, which is much less likely for a station named
535    twice.  It's also reasonable to use only *fix and *entrance on a station at
536    the entrance of an unsurveyed cave.
537
538  + Highlight plumbed clino readings fully in diagnostics.  Now the full reading
539    is highlighted instead of just the first character.
540
541  + Report location of previous fix after "already fixed" error/warning.
542
543  + Use "info" diagnostic category for "Originally entered here" message.  This
544    is more logical as the original *begin isn't something to be warned about,
545    only the reentering is.  This was only a warning before because we didn't
546    used to have "info" diagnostics.
547
548  + Use "info" diagnostic category for message about not reporting further
549    uses of a deprecated feature.  Previously this was a warning, but the newer
550    "info" category is more appropriate here.
551
552  + The message about inventing a fixed point is now an "info" diagnostic which
553    allows us to report a location which is where that station is defined,
554    which may be useful to the user.
555
556  + Make highlighting position in error reporting more robust.  We no longer
557    try to highIight if we calculate a negative column offset, when previously
558    we would print billions of spaces.  As far as I know this has never
559    happened in a released version.
560
561  + Error messages which report the program name now remove any ".exe" suffix.
562    This helps the testsuite by making the expected output the same
563    cross-platform, but also seems slightly nicer for users.
564
565* dump3d:
566
567  + The timestamp reported by DATE_NUMERIC is now printed portably.  Previously
568    we were assuming that a time_t is the same size as a long int, which is not
569    true on all platforms.
570
571* manual:
572
573  + (Microsoft Windows version): Update information about installation
574    with/without admin rights.
575
576  + Summarise support for reading CMAP data and its assumptions and
577    limitations.
578
579  + Mention Compass, Walls and CMAP support in the importing data howto
580    section.
581
582  + Drop mention of Rosetta Stal from the manual.  The referred to link from
583    our website was removed in 2015 because Rosetta Stal hadn't been updated
584    for 13.5 years at that point.  Now the domain it was available from has
585    lapsed and is a domain squatter "for sale" page.
586
587* img library:
588
589  + The coordinates in CMAP data are in feet but we were dividing rather
590    than multiplying by the conversion factor to get metres so all
591    coordinates were about 10.76 times too large.
592
593  + Stations in CMAP "station" variant XYZ files are now flagged as
594    underground (as they always have been for "shot" variant XYZ files).
595
596  + When reading CMAP XYZ files, we no longer emit duplicate img_LABEL for
597    stations in loops.
598
599  + A CMAP XYZ file without a survey title is now handled correctly (this was
600    reporting a bogus "Out of memory" error).
601
602  + The img.h header now defines constants IMG_VERSION_SURVEX_POS, etc for the
603    values reported in the version field for non-.3d formats.
604
605  + (Microsoft Windows version): Workaround limitation of Microsoft's C
606    library so we handle dates before 1970 in Compass PLT files, CMAP XYZ
607    files, and older format .3d files.  Previously these were reported
608    as "unknown date".
609
610* We now support overriding the location of support files by setting the
611  SURVEXLIB environment variable.  We no longer look at the srcdir
612  environment variable for this.
613
614* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created automatically
615  on Github actions, which has required a few changes.  It now packages a
616  64-bit build, and is created with Innosetup 6.3.2 which no longer supports
617  Vista.  The installer is also now significantly larger, which is mostly
618  because we now need to include a large number of DLLs, most of which are
619  dependencies of the mingw64 FFmpeg and GDAL packages.
620
621* (Microsoft Windows version): If the directory where we expect the PROJ
622  support files to be does not exist for some reason we now avoid triggering
623  a segmentation fault in PROJ.
624
625* Build system:
626
627  + The GDAL library is now required to build Survex.
628
629  + (Microsoft Windows version): The probe for GL and GLU libraries now also
630    checks for Microsoft's non-standard library names.
631
632  + Correct configure --help output for --enable-werror for which the default
633    is actually "no" rather than "maintainer-mode".
634
635* testsuite:
636
637  + aven.tst: Skip a testcase when running on mingw as it seems to hang there.
638    We already skip this testcase on macos for what appears to be the same
639    problem.
640
641  + Fix comparison of output to work on platforms using DOS line endings.
642
643Changes in 1.4.8 (2024-04-23):
644
645* cavern:
646
647  + The warning for a compass reading on a plumbed leg was already suppressed
648    for a compass or backcompass reading of 0, but is now also suppressed for a
649    backcompass of 180° (or equivalent) which seems to be common in some Compass
650    datasets, but also seems sensible generally.  Thanks to Simeon Warner for
651    sharing some data which triggered such warnings.
652
653  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name is now also
654    emitted in the case where a name was used first for a station, and then as
655    a survey on an explicitly prefixed name.  Closes
656    https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4, reported by Thomas Holder.
657
658  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name now highlights
659    the problematic name within the line shown for context.
660
661  + Fix the reported token string reported by some errors with readings.  This
662    happened to work on at least x86-64 Linux, but the code was invalid and
663    failed on some architectures.
664
665* Fix to build with newer FFmpeg versions.
666
667* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now offers the choice to install
668  for just the current user, which allows installing Survex without admin
669  rights.
670
671* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix problems with valid coordinate systems being
672  rejected and aven's cavern log window not showing output.  Reported by
673  Peter Mašič, Špela Borko, Răzvan Dumbravă and detrito.  Thanks especially to
674  Špela Borko for a lot of testing to help track down the cause.
675
676Changes in 1.4.7 (2024-04-07):
677
678* cavern:
679
680  + When using *declination auto we report the range of calculated declinations
681    for each location specified.  After doing this we now reset the range
682    information we're tracking.  Previously we'd misreport the range for
683    the second and subsequent locations.
684
685  + Avoid undefined behaviour on handling filename fallback for filenames
686    containing non-ASCII characters.
687
688  + Show context line with relevant item highlighted for more errors and
689    warnings.
690
691  + The dynamic string handling routines are now more efficient.
692
693  + Fix memory leak if a Compass MAK file opens folders it doesn't close.
694
695  + Fix handling of clino-less legs in Compass DAT.  These would cause cavern
696    to fail with a lot of "NaN" messages.  Now they're treated as having a zero
697    clino with a standard deviation based on the leg length, just like in .svx
698    files.
699
700* img library:
701
702  + Compass PLT: Treat LRUD readings > 900 as omitted readings, which matches
703    what Compass does.  Thanks to Larry Fish for clarifying this.
704
705  + Avoid undefined behaviour after realloc().  We were adjusting a pointer
706    within the reallocated block by subtracting the old block address and
707    adding on the new one.  Technically this is undefined behaviour, although
708    in practice it seems likely it'll work and we've not seen misbehaviour due
709    to it.  However it's easy to avoid by calculating the offset before the
710    realloc().
711
712* Portability:
713
714  + Provide prototype for getopt() to avoid warnings with very recent compiler
715    versions.
716
717  + Avoid using sprintf(), which now triggers warnings on some platforms.
718
719* Build system:
720
721  + Add configure --enable-werror option to turn compiler warnings into errors.
722
723* Manual:
724
725  + Expand details of Compass MAK CRS support.
726
727  + Replace very out of date information about binary RPM packages.
728
729* Minor translation updates.
730
731* (Microsoft Windows version): Now uses PROJ 9.3.0 and ships all of the
732  ancillary files that PROJ comes with.  Hoping this fixes use of coordinate
733  system EPSG:3912 failing, which was reported by Peter Mašič but I've not
734  managed to reproduce.
735
736Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-03-07):
737
738* cavern:
739
740  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
741    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
742    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
743    mailing list.
744
745  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
746    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
747    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
748    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
749
750  + When opening a file, cavern has fallback handling if the file isn't found
751    to help people processing datasets from platforms with case-insensitive
752    file systems.  Previously cavern would fold the filename to lowercase and
753    retry.  Now if this fails, it will also try the lower case version but
754    with the initial character of the leaf in upper case, and finally folding
755    the whole specified filename to upper case.
756
757  + Dynamically pick a suitable level separator character and store it in .3d
758    file, instead of it being hard-coded to '.' (we still use '.' unless it
759    has been *set as a "name" character, or for Compass DAT/MAK files unless it
760    has been used in a station name).  This is a step towards addressing the
761    situations raised by Thomas Holder in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4
762    and https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/5 .
763
764  + Compass DAT files:
765
766    - The shot flag S is now understood to indicate a splay.
767
768    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
769      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
770      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
771      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
772      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
773      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
774
775    - Surveys which indicate a depth gauge was used for azimuth readings are
776      now marked as STYLE_DIVING in the 3d file.
777
778    - Compass and clino corrections are now implemented for backsights.
779
780    - The tape correction in Compass DAT files is now handled correctly.  The
781      specified value is in feet, but cavern was incorrectly treating it as
782      being in metres.
783
784    - We now handle the newer 15 character "FORMAT:" encoding.  Previously
785      cavern wouldn't detect when there were backsights in this case.
786
787    - We now treat survey date January 1st 1901 as "no date specified" since
788      this is the date Compass stores in this situation, and it seems very
789      unlikely to occur in real data.
790
791    - In Compass DAT files a dummy zero-length leg from a station to itself is
792      used to provide a place to specify LRUD for the start or end of a
793      traverse (depending if dimensions are measured at the from or to
794      station), and so we no longer issue a warning about equating a station to
795      itself for DAT files.
796
797  + Compass MAK files:
798
799    - The base location command is now understood.  This is how Compass
800      specifies a location to calculate magnetic declination at, and we
801      now handle this like Survex's native "*declination auto X Y Z".
802
803    - Survex uses the specified UTM zone and datum provided the combination can
804      be expressed as an EPSG code (lack of any EPSG codes for a datum suggests
805      it's obsolete; lack of a code for a particular datum+zone combination
806      suggests the zone is outside of the defined area of use of the datum).
807      Example Compass files we've seen use "North American 1927" outside of
808      where it's defined for use, presumably because some users fail to change
809      the datum from Compass' default.  To enable reading such files we return
810      a PROJ4 string of the form "+proj=utm ..." for "North American 1927" and
811      "North American 1983" for UTM zones which don't have an EPSG code.
812      Please let us know if support for additional cases which aren't currently
813      supported would be useful to you.
814
815    - Folder commands are now understood.
816
817    - Flag fixed stations as entrances.  Experimentation with Compass shows
818      this is how it treats them ("distance from entrance" in a .DAT file
819      counts from 0 at these points).
820
821  + We now support reading Compass CLP files.  These are very like DAT files,
822    except they contain loop-closed data.  You might find this useful if you
823    want to keep existing stations at the same adjusted positions Compass gave
824    (for example to be able to draw extensions on an existing drawn-up survey),
825    or if the original DAT file has been lost but you still have the CLP file.
826
827* aven:
828
829  + Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
830    Philip Balister.
831
832  + Split the filters for DAT and MAK files in the File->Open drop down list.
833    It seems more likely you'd want to see one type or the other, not both
834    together.
835
836* aven/survexport:
837
838  + Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
839
840  + .json,.kml: Enable export of surface legs.  Currently surface and
841    underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats when both
842    are enabled.
843
844  + .3d: The coordinate system is now set.
845
846  + .svg: Equated stations now get their correct names in the id attribute
847    of <circle> tags.  Previously one of the names would be repeated for
848    all of a set of equated stations.
849
850  + .plt:
851
852    - Anonymous stations previously resulted in an empty name in the PLT
853      file.  This isn't explicitly disallowed by the PLT format description,
854      but Compass' viewer gives an error for such lines.  Now we invent names
855      by encoding the station coordinates which should be unique.
856
857    - The S shot flag is now set for splays, and the P shot flag (hide from
858      plotting) is set for surface legs (which matches the use suggested in the
859      Compass docs).
860
861* img library:
862
863  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
864    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
865    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
866    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
867    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
868    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
869    default).
870
871  + Improve Compass PLT support (many of these are Compass features added
872    since Survex's support for Compass was originally added):
873
874    - Survey dates are now handled fully.  We treat survey date January 1st
875      1901 as "no date specified" since this is the date Compass stores in this
876      situation, and it seems very unlikely to occur in real data.
877
878    - LRUD data is now translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END.
879
880    - We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE for stations where the "Distance From
881      Entrance" field is present and zero.
882
883    - The shot flag L is now translated to img_FLAG_DUPLICATE.
884
885    - The shot flag S is now translated to img_FLAG_SPLAY.  A station at the
886      far end of a shot flagged S gets img_SFLAG_WALL set since the Compass PLT
887      format specification says:
888
889          The shot is a "splay" shot, which is a shot from a station to the
890          wall to define the passage shape.
891
892    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
893      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
894      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
895      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
896      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
897      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
898
899    - The d plot command is now supported (previously img failed to parse
900      PLT files using this command) - it's like D but implies the P shot flag.
901
902    - If a PLT file only uses one datum and it is "WGS 1984" then the UTM zone
903      is converted to the appropriate EPSG code and this is reported as the
904      coordinate system.  Other datums could be handled, but the mapping to
905      EPSG code is less simple.  Also it seems Compass supports at least
906      24 datums but it doesn't document all the strings it uses for them.
907      Files with multiple datums could be handled too, but we'd need to convert
908      coordinates to a common coordinate system in the img library, which would
909      need it to depend on PROJ.  Please let us know if support for more and/or
910      mixed datums would be useful to you.
911
912    - Duplicate img_LABEL items are no longer returned - this used to happen
913      for stations where more than two shots met within a single survey.
914
915    - We now infer img_SFLAG_EXPORTED for any station that appears in more
916      than one survey in the PLT file.
917
918    - We now set flag img_SFLAG_FIXED for any station which is listed as
919      a fixed point in the PLT file.
920
921    - If there's only one non-empty section name in a PLT file and we aren't
922      filtering by survey, we now report that section name as the title.  If
923      there are multiple different non-empty section names, we still report the
924      basename of the file as before.  If we're filtering by survey, we report
925      the comment for that survey as before.
926
927    - Fix bug handling PLT with omitted LRUD.  The format specification
928      documents that LRUD may be omitted, though it seems Compass never
929      actually omits it and at least some versions of Compass failed to handle
930      it being omitted too.
931
932* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
933
934* manual:
935
936  + Document Compass support in detail.
937
938  + Improve NATO mils example.
939
940* INSTALL:
941
942  + Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by Andrew
943    Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
944
945  + Document the requirement for a C99 compiler for building from source.
946    We made this a requirement in 1.4.2, but only noted it in NEWS.
947
948* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
949
950* Replace references to "libav" with "FFmpeg" since the libav project seems to
951  now be defunct, and we've always supported using either.
952
953* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros and drop
954  probes for features that we can safely assume now we require a C99 compiler
955  and workarounds for obsolete platforms.
956
957* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
958
959Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
960
961* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
962
963* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
964  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
965
966* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
967
968* Minor translation updates.
969
970Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
971
972* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
973  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
974
975* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
976  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
977  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
978  checks that were rejecting this.
979
980  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
981  really do that's better than that.
982
983  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
984
985* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
986  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
987  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
988  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
989  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
990
991* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
992  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
993
994* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
995  bearing spin control.
996
997* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
998  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
999  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
1000  currently but please report issues.
1001
1002* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
1003  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
1004  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
1005  position".
1006
1007* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
1008  Reported by echarlie
1009
1010* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
1011
1012Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
1013
1014* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
1015
1016* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
1017  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
1018
1019* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
1020  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
1021
1022* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
1023  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
1024
1025* Minor translation updates.
1026
1027* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
1028  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
1029  works on Wayland).
1030
1031* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
1032  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
1033
1034* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
1035
1036* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
1037  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
1038  Requested by Martin Budaj.
1039
1040Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
1041
1042* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
1043
1044* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
1045
1046* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
1047  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
1048
1049* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
1050  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
1051  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
1052  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
1053
1054* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
1055  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
1056  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1057
1058* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
1059  string properly.
1060
1061* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
1062  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
1063  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
1064  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
1065  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
1066  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
1067  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
1068
1069* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
1070  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
1071
1072  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
1073
1074* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
1075  where the included filename is actually specified.
1076
1077* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
1078  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
1079
1080* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
1081  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
1082  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
1083
1084* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
1085  running on the Continuous Integration system.
1086
1087* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
1088  newer version of Innosetup.  This means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the
1089  minimum supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support
1090  anyway.
1091
1092* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
1093  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
1094
1095* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1096
1097* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
1098  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
1099  inconvenience anyone.
1100
1101Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
1102
1103* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
1104
1105* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
1106  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
1107  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
1108  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
1109
1110* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
1111  in 1.4.0.
1112
1113* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
1114
1115Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
1116
1117* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
1118  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
1119  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
1120  Couwenberg.
1121
1122  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
1123  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
1124  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
1125  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
1126
1127  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
1128  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
1129
1130* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
1131  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
1132  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
1133
1134* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
1135  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
1136  strings is strongly discouraged.
1137
1138  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
1139
1140  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
1141
1142  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
1143  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
1144
1145* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
1146  Green.
1147
1148* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
1149  echarlie.
1150
1151* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
1152  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
1153  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
1154
1155* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
1156
1157* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
1158
1159* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
1160
1161* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
1162
1163* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
1164  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
1165  stations not attached to a fixed point.
1166
1167Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
1168
1169* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
1170  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
1171  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
1172  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
1173  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
1174
1175* aven:
1176
1177  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
1178    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
1179    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
1180    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
1181    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
1182    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
1183
1184* testsuite:
1185
1186  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
1187    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
1188    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
1189    process exits.
1190
1191* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
1192
1193Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
1194
1195* aven:
1196
1197  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
1198
1199* cavern:
1200
1201  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
1202
1203  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
1204    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
1205    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
1206
1207  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
1208    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
1209    until the next *data command with parameters.
1210
1211  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
1212    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
1213
1214  * Improve test coverage.
1215
1216* survexport:
1217
1218  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
1219    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
1220
1221  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
1222    Batista.
1223
1224* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
1225  Holder.
1226
1227* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
1228  from Thomas Holder.
1229
1230* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
1231  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
1232
1233* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
1234
1235* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
1236
1237* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
1238
1239* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
1240
1241* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
1242
1243Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
1244
1245* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
1246  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
1247  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
1248
1249* aven:
1250
1251  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
1252    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
1253    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
1254
1255  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
1256    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
1257    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
1258    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
1259
1260  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
1261    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
1262    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
1263
1264  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
1265
1266Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
1267
1268* aven:
1269
1270  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
1271
1272  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
1273    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
1274    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
1275
1276  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
1277    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
1278    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
1279    orientation.
1280
1281* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
1282  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
1283  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
1284  Richard Knapp.
1285
1286* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
1287  might still need to use them for.
1288
1289* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
1290
1291* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
1292
1293* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
1294  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
1295  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
1296  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
1297
1298* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
1299  is now the recommended approach.
1300
1301Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
1302
1303* aven:
1304
1305  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1306    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
1307    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
1308    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
1309    Brian Clipstone.
1310
1311  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
1312    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
1313
1314Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
1315
1316* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
1317  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
1318  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
1319
1320* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
1321  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
1322  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
1323  with some compilers.
1324
1325* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
1326  installed.
1327
1328Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
1329
1330* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
1331  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
1332  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
1333
1334* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
1335  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
1336  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
1337
1338* aven:
1339
1340  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
1341    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
1342    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
1343    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
1344    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
1345    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
1346    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
1347    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
1348    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
1349    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
1350    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
1351
1352  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
1353
1354* Documentation:
1355
1356  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
1357
1358  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
1359    placeholder.
1360
1361  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
1362    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
1363
1364* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
1365  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
1366  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
1367
1368* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
1369  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
1370  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
1371  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
1372  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
1373  location to avoid confusion.
1374
1375* Add a few more message translations.
1376
1377* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
1378
1379Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
1380
1381* cavern:
1382
1383  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
1384    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
1385    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
1386    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
1387    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
1388
1389  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
1390    now reports "file not found" instead.
1391
1392  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
1393    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
1394    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
1395
1396* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
1397
1398* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
1399  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
1400  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
1401  removed.
1402
1403* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
1404  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
1405  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
1406  information.  Patch from James Begley.
1407
1408Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
1409
1410* aven:
1411
1412  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
1413    controllable.
1414
1415  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1416
1417  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
1418    Patch from Robert Jones.
1419
1420  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
1421    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
1422    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
1423
1424  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
1425    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
1426
1427* cavern:
1428
1429  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
1430    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
1431
1432  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
1433    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
1434    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
1435    go unnoticed.
1436
1437* survexport:
1438
1439  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
1440    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
1441    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
1442
1443  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
1444    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
1445    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
1446    Stephen Crabtree.
1447
1448* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1449
1450* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
1451  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
1452
1453* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
1454  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
1455  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
1456  therion's team command.
1457
1458Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
1459
1460* aven:
1461
1462  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
1463
1464  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
1465    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
1466    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
1467    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
1468    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
1469    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
1470    for new entrances.
1471
1472  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
1473    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
1474    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
1475    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
1476
1477  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
1478
1479  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
1480    to show via the right-click menu.
1481
1482  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
1483    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
1484    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
1485    child surveys of the parent.
1486
1487  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
1488    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
1489    survey.
1490
1491  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
1492    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
1493
1494  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
1495
1496  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
1497    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
1498
1499  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
1500    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
1501    filtering this matters more).
1502
1503* survexport:
1504
1505  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
1506    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
1507
1508  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
1509
1510* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
1511
1512* Minor translation updates.
1513
1514* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
1515
1516* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
1517
1518* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
1519
1520Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
1521
1522* aven:
1523
1524  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
1525    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
1526    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
1527    on screen, printed and exported.
1528
1529  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
1530    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
1531    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
1532    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
1533    survey.
1534
1535  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
1536    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
1537    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
1538    view.  Reported by Wookey.
1539
1540  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
1541    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
1542    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
1543
1544  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
1545    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
1546
1547  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
1548    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
1549
1550  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
1551    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
1552
1553  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
1554    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
1555
1556  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
1557    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
1558
1559* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
1560  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
1561  tools could do, plus much more.
1562
1563* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
1564
1565* Minor updates to various other translations.
1566
1567* img library:
1568
1569  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
1570
1571  + Improve API documentation.
1572
1573* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
1574  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
1575  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
1576
1577* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
1578  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
1579  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
1580  control what gets exported.
1581
1582Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
1583
1584* aven:
1585
1586  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1587    of 1.2.33.
1588
1589  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
1590
1591Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
1592
1593* aven:
1594
1595  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
1596    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
1597    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
1598    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
1599
1600  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
1601    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
1602    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
1603    Erin Lynch.
1604
1605  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
1606    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
1607    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
1608
1609  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
1610    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
1611    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
1612    unnecessarily.
1613
1614  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
1615    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
1616    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
1617    for this control).
1618
1619  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
1620    under GTK3.
1621
1622  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
1623    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
1624    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
1625
1626  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
1627    current development version).
1628
1629  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
1630    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
1631    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
1632
1633* cavern:
1634
1635  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
1636    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
1637    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
1638    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
1639    "19".
1640
1641* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
1642  Evaristo Quiroga.
1643
1644* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1645
1646* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
1647  milosch.
1648
1649* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
1650  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
1651  translated messages.
1652
1653* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
1654  Indonesian and Polish.
1655
1656* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
1657  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
1658  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1659
1660* Fix a few compiler warnings.
1661
1662* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
1663  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
1664  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
1665
1666* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
1667
1668  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
1669    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
1670    but happens to fail if it isn't.
1671
1672  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
1673
1674  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
1675
1676  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
1677
1678* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
1679  detected at run time on macOS.
1680
1681* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
1682  by the homebrew formula.
1683
1684* buildmacosx.sh:
1685
1686  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
1687    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
1688
1689  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
1690
1691* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
1692  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
1693
1694Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
1695
1696* aven:
1697
1698  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
1699    and Anthony Day.
1700
1701  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
1702    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
1703    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1704    Erin Lynch in #89.
1705
1706  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
1707    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
1708    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
1709    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
1710    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
1711    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
1712    elevations.
1713
1714  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
1715    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
1716    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
1717
1718  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
1719    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
1720    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
1721    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
1722    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
1723    "on".
1724
1725  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
1726    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
1727
1728  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
1729    the display wouldn't update right away.
1730
1731* Manual:
1732
1733  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
1734
1735  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
1736
1737* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
1738  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
1739  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
1740  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
1741  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
1742
1743Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
1744
1745* aven:
1746
1747  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
1748    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
1749    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
1750
1751  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
1752    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
1753    before by others.
1754
1755  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
1756
1757  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
1758    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
1759    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
1760    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
1761    original change.
1762
1763  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
1764    which extends beyond the end of the line).
1765
1766  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
1767    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
1768
1769  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
1770
1771  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
1772
1773  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
1774    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
1775    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
1776    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
1777    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
1778    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
1779    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
1780
1781  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
1782    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
1783
1784  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
1785    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
1786    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
1787
1788  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
1789    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
1790    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
1791    much vertical range.
1792
1793  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
1794    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
1795    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
1796    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
1797    are drawn in this way.
1798
1799  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
1800    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
1801    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
1802    centre should be a single pixel.
1803
1804* cavern:
1805
1806  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
1807    entering passage data where there are side passages.
1808
1809  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
1810    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
1811
1812  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
1813    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
1814    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
1815    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
1816
1817  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
1818    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
1819    Reported by Erin Lynch.
1820
1821  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
1822    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
1823    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
1824    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
1825
1826  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
1827    other messages.
1828
1829* extend:
1830
1831  + Now runs a bit faster.
1832
1833  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
1834    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
1835    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
1836    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
1837    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
1838    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
1839    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
1840    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
1841    be handled better) most welcome.
1842
1843* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
1844
1845* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
1846
1847* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
1848  translations from therion.
1849
1850* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
1851  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
1852
1853* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
1854  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
1855  Footleg.
1856
1857* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
1858
1859* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
1860
1861Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
1862
1863* aven:
1864
1865  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
1866    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1867
1868  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
1869    Suggested by detrito.
1870
1871  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
1872    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
1873
1874  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
1875    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
1876
1877* Add man page for dump3d.
1878
1879Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
1880
1881* aven:
1882
1883  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
1884    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
1885
1886  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
1887    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1888
1889* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
1890  Lynch and "detrito".
1891
1892* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
1893  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
1894
1895Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
1896
1897* cavern:
1898
1899  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
1900    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
1901    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
1902    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
1903    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
1904
1905  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
1906
1907  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
1908
1909  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
1910    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
1911    degrees).
1912
1913* aven:
1914
1915  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
1916    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
1917    Day.
1918
1919  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
1920    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1921
1922  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
1923    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
1924
1925  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
1926    of the line in cavern log window.
1927
1928  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1929
1930  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1931
1932  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
1933    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
1934    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
1935    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
1936    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
1937
1938  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
1939    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
1940    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
1941
1942  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
1943
1944  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
1945
1946  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
1947    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
1948    Atkinson and myself.
1949
1950  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
1951
1952  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
1953    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
1954    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
1955    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
1956    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
1957    survey.
1958
1959  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
1960    lines on my netbook.
1961
1962  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
1963    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
1964    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
1965
1966  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
1967    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
1968    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
1969    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
1970    glitches.
1971
1972  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
1973    we currently list, though slower to write.
1974
1975  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
1976    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
1977
1978  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
1979    warnings when building against a recent version.
1980
1981  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
1982    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
1983    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
1984    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
1985
1986  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
1987    movie export.
1988
1989  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
1990    export.
1991
1992* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1993  James Begley.
1994
1995* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
1996  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
1997
1998* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
1999
2000* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
2001  messages get used automatically.
2002
2003* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
2004  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
2005
2006* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
2007
2008* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
2009
2010* Use https for more URLs which support it.
2011
2012Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
2013
2014* aven:
2015
2016  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
2017    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
2018    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
2019    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
2020    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
2021    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
2022    probably change in the future).
2023
2024  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
2025    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
2026    the survey tree root.
2027
2028  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
2029    the view was recentred).
2030
2031  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
2032    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
2033    wrong direction).
2034
2035  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
2036    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
2037    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
2038
2039  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
2040    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
2041    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
2042    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
2043
2044  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
2045    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
2046
2047  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
2048    addresses #60.
2049
2050  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
2051
2052  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
2053    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
2054    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
2055
2056  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
2057
2058  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
2059    360 or down past 0.
2060
2061  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
2062    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
2063    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
2064    real-valued ones.
2065
2066  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
2067    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
2068
2069  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
2070    Lynch.
2071
2072  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
2073
2074  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
2075    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
2076
2077  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
2078    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
2079    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
2080
2081  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
2082    should now work.
2083
2084* cavern:
2085
2086  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
2087
2088  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
2089    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
2090    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
2091
2092  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
2093    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
2094    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
2095
2096  + Fix check for end of version number array in *require.  We would check up
2097    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
2098    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
2099    issue.
2100
2101  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
2102    by patch from Colin Watson.
2103
2104  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
2105
2106* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
2107
2108* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
2109  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
2110
2111* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
2112  used in the same dataset.
2113
2114* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
2115  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
2116
2117* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
2118  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
2119  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
2120
2121* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
2122
2123Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
2124
2125* aven:
2126
2127  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
2128    cavern again.
2129
2130* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
2131  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
2132  location and use the same start menu folder.
2133
2134* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
2135  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
2136
2137* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
2138  by James Begley.
2139
2140Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
2141
2142* aven:
2143
2144  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
2145    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
2146    to address.
2147
2148  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
2149    over the survey tree.
2150
2151  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
2152
2153  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
2154    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
2155
2156  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
2157    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
2158    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
2159    encoded.
2160
2161  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
2162    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
2163    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
2164    terminals which do still support this.
2165
2166  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
2167    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
2168
2169* cavern:
2170
2171  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
2172    Edwards (see #78).
2173
2174  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
2175    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
2176    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
2177    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
2178
2179  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
2180    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
2181    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
2182
2183  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
2184    from Pete Smart (see #69).
2185
2186* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
2187  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
2188  Black.
2189
2190* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
2191
2192* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
2193  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
2194  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
2195  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
2196  Black.
2197
2198* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
2199  Black.
2200
2201* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
2202
2203* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
2204
2205* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
2206
2207* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
2208
2209* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
2210
2211* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
2212  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
2213
2214* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
2215  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
2216  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
2217
2218* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
2219  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
2220  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
2221  privileges or not.
2222
2223Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
2224
2225* aven:
2226
2227  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
2228    Clipstone.
2229
2230  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
2231    Reported by Jenny Black.
2232
2233  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
2234    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
2235    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
2236
2237  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
2238    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
2239    messages.
2240
2241  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
2242    the terminal in 1.2.23.
2243
2244* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
2245  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
2246
2247* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
2248
2249* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
2250  by Wookey.
2251
2252Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
2253
2254* aven:
2255
2256  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
2257    machines.
2258
2259  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
2260
2261  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
2262    already being processed.
2263
2264  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
2265    Reported by Martin Green.
2266
2267  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
2268
2269* cavern:
2270
2271  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
2272    find the original survey notes).
2273
2274  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
2275    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
2276    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
2277    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
2278    progress display to be useful.
2279
2280* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
2281
2282* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
2283  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
2284
2285* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
2286  running cavern.
2287
2288* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
2289  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
2290  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
2291
2292Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
2293
2294* aven:
2295
2296  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
2297    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
2298    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
2299    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
2300    finding this fix.
2301
2302* cavern:
2303
2304  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
2305
2306  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
2307    station.
2308
2309  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
2310    *export.
2311
2312Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
2313
2314* aven:
2315
2316  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
2317    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
2318    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
2319
2320  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
2321
2322  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
2323    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
2324    does.
2325
2326  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
2327    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
2328
2329  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
2330    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
2331
2332  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
2333    as appropriate.
2334
2335  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
2336    values on Windows.
2337
2338* cavern:
2339
2340  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
2341    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
2342    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
2343
2344  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
2345    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
2346
2347  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
2348    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
2349    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
2350    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
2351
2352  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
2353    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
2354    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
2355    Atkinson.
2356
2357  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
2358    actual error rather than on a separate line.
2359
2360  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
2361    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
2362    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
2363    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
2364
2365  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
2366    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
2367    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
2368
2369* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
2370  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
2371  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
2372  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
2373
2374* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
2375
2376* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
2377  "*DECLINATION" command.
2378
2379* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
2380  Reported by Jenny Black.
2381
2382* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
2383  documentation.
2384
2385* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
2386  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
2387
2388* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
2389
2390* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
2391
2392Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
2393
2394* aven:
2395
2396  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
2397    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
2398    the same or very similar by default.
2399
2400  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
2401    Maynard.
2402
2403  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
2404
2405  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
2406
2407  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
2408    away.
2409
2410  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
2411
2412  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
2413    display it.
2414
2415* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
2416  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
2417  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
2418  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
2419
2420* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
2421
2422* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
2423  before 1.2.19.
2424
2425* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
2426  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
2427
2428* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
2429
2430* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
2431  disk image.
2432
2433* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
2434
2435* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
2436  libav features we don't use.
2437
2438* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
2439  a load of libav features we don't use.
2440
2441* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
2442  message in the installer.
2443
2444Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
2445
2446* aven:
2447
2448  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
2449    the exported file in 1.2.18.
2450
2451  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
2452
2453  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
2454    exit full screen mode.
2455
2456  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
2457    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
2458    using since 1.2.7).
2459
2460  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
2461    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
2462    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
2463    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
2464    St. Lawrence.
2465
2466  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
2467    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
2468
2469  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
2470    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
2471    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
2472
2473  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
2474    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
2475    case like we do on other platforms.
2476
2477  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
2478
2479  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
2480    support multi-monitor setups.
2481
2482  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
2483    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
2484
2485  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
2486    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
2487
2488  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
2489    cases.
2490
2491  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
2492    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
2493    Erin Lynch)
2494
2495  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
2496    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
2497    items in in so it uses the full width.
2498
2499  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
2500    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
2501    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
2502    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
2503    window.
2504
2505  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
2506    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
2507    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
2508    only relevant on the first ever run.
2509
2510* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
2511
2512* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
2513  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
2514  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
2515  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
2516  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
2517  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
2518
2519* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
2520  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
2521
2522Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
2523
2524* aven:
2525
2526  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
2527    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
2528    rendering it as a transparent surface.
2529
2530  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
2531    sanely want to perform from the menu.
2532
2533  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
2534    colouring options.
2535
2536  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
2537
2538  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
2539    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
2540    pressing "Escape".
2541
2542  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
2543    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
2544
2545  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
2546    exporting.
2547
2548  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
2549
2550  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
2551    is quite likely to change.
2552
2553  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
2554    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
2555
2556  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
2557    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
2558    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
2559
2560  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
2561
2562  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
2563    markers in orange.
2564
2565  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
2566    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
2567
2568  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
2569    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
2570    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
2571    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
2572    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
2573    them would be better.
2574
2575  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
2576    Gee.
2577
2578  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
2579    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
2580    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
2581
2582  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
2583
2584* cavern:
2585
2586  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
2587    susscorfa).
2588
2589  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
2590    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
2591
2592  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
2593
2594  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
2595    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
2596
2597  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
2598    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
2599
2600* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
2601
2602* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
2603  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
2604  in a modern desktop.
2605
2606* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
2607  the filename in the error message.
2608
2609* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
2610  most complete translations.
2611
2612* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
2613
2614* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
2615  lacks them.
2616
2617* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
2618
2619* Manual:
2620
2621  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
2622    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
2623
2624  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
2625
2626  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
2627
2628  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
2629    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
2630    available for download.
2631
2632* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
2633  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
2634  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
2635
2636* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2637
2638* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
2639
2640Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
2641
2642* MacOS X version:
2643
2644  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
2645
2646  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
2647
2648  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
2649
2650  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
2651
2652  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
2653    currently do this for us.
2654
2655  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
2656
2657  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
2658
2659  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
2660
2661  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
2662    OS X cursor.
2663
2664  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
2665    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
2666    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
2667    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
2668    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
2669    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
2670    with TextEdit.app for example).
2671
2672  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
2673    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
2674
2675  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
2676
2677  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
2678    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
2679
2680  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
2681    Riggs.
2682
2683  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
2684    space.
2685
2686  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
2687
2688  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
2689    10.10.1.
2690
2691  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
2692    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
2693    errors.
2694
2695  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
2696    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
2697    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
2698    wxWidgets build supports by default.
2699
2700  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
2701
2702* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
2703  treat as a single leg.
2704
2705* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
2706
2707* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
2708
2709* aven:
2710
2711  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
2712    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
2713
2714  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
2715    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
2716    1:500).
2717
2718  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
2719    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
2720    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
2721    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
2722
2723  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
2724    there rather than the two animations fighting.
2725
2726  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
2727    fast.
2728
2729  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
2730    when rotating).
2731
2732  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
2733    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
2734
2735* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
2736  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
2737
2738* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
2739
2740* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
2741
2742* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
2743
2744* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
2745
2746* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
2747  we're using git.
2748
2749* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
2750
2751  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
2752    compass.
2753
2754  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
2755
2756  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
2757
2758Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
2759
2760* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
2761
2762* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
2763
2764* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
2765
2766* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
2767  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
2768
2769* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
2770
2771* tests/: Improve test coverage.
2772
2773* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
2774  Greek and Polish.
2775
2776* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
2777  by Martin Sluka.
2778
2779* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
2780  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
2781
2782Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
2783
2784* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
2785  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
2786  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
2787  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
2788  for *cs has also been improved.
2789
2790* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
2791  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
2792  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
2793  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
2794
2795* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
2796  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
2797  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
2798  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
2799  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
2800
2801* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
2802  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
2803  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
2804
2805* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
2806
2807* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
2808
2809* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
2810  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
2811  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
2812
2813* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
2814  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
2815
2816Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
2817
2818* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
2819  system in use in 3d v8 files.
2820
2821* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
2822  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
2823  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
2824  export dialog.
2825
2826* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
2827  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
2828  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
2829  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
2830  rather than having one corner there.
2831
2832* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
2833  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
2834
2835* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
2836  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
2837
2838* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
2839  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
2840  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
2841
2842* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
2843  such as 64-bit Linux.
2844
2845* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
2846  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
2847
2848* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
2849  64-bit platforms.
2850
2851* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
2852  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
2853  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
2854
2855* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
2856  the space available in the aven UI.
2857
2858* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
2859  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
2860  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
2861
2862* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
2863  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
2864
2865* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
2866  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
2867  about unconnected surveys.
2868
2869* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
2870  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
2871
2872* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
2873  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
2874  freed memory.
2875
2876* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
2877
2878* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
2879
2880* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
2881
2882* Fix a compiler warning.
2883
2884* Improve test coverage.
2885
2886Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
2887
2888* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
2889  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
2890  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
2891
2892* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
2893  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
2894  Hugh St Lawrence.
2895
2896* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
2897  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
2898  with using aven on a touch screen device.
2899
2900* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
2901  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
2902
2903* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
2904  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
2905
2906* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
2907  off and back on.
2908
2909* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
2910  up time a little.
2911
2912* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
2913  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
2914
2915* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
2916  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
2917  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
2918  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
2919  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
2920  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
2921  situation too.
2922
2923* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
2924  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
2925  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
2926
2927* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
2928
2929* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
2930
2931* Minor translation updates to French.
2932
2933* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
2934
2935* Testsuite improvements:
2936
2937  + Test that "..." anon station works.
2938
2939  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
2940    fail and give an error count.
2941
2942  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
2943
2944Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
2945
2946* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
2947  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
2948  Clipstone.
2949
2950* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
2951
2952* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
2953
2954  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
2955    overlap the scale bar ticks.
2956
2957  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
2958    clipping the border in print preview.
2959
2960  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
2961
2962* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
2963  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
2964
2965* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
2966  available.
2967
2968* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
2969
2970* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
2971
2972* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
2973  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
2974
2975* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
2976  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
2977
2978* Various translation updates.
2979
2980Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
2981
2982* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
2983  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
2984
2985* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
2986  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
2987  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
2988  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
2989
2990* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
2991  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
2992
2993* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
2994  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
2995
2996* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
2997  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
2998
2999* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
3000  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
3001
3002* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
3003  box".
3004
3005* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
3006
3007* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
3008  indicators.
3009
3010* aven: All length units are now translatable.
3011
3012* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
3013  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
3014  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
3015
3016* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
3017  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
3018  measurably slower.
3019
3020* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
3021  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
3022
3023* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
3024  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
3025
3026* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
3027  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
3028  from Therion and elsewhere.
3029
3030* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
3031  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
3032  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
3033
3034* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
3035  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
3036
3037* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
3038  A. Riggs for his work on this.
3039
3040* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
3041  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
3042
3043* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
3044
3045* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
3046  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
3047  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
3048  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
3049  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
3050  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
3051
3052* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
3053
3054Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
3055
3056* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
3057  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
3058  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
3059  Clipstone.
3060
3061* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
3062  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
3063
3064* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
3065  exported SVG files.
3066
3067* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
3068
3069* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
3070  file.
3071
3072* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
3073  GPX files.
3074
3075* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
3076
3077* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
3078  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
3079
3080* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
3081  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
3082  on startup.
3083
3084* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
3085
3086* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
3087  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
3088  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
3089  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
3090  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
3091  other extensions.
3092
3093* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
3094  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
3095  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
3096  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
3097  timezone wrong.
3098
3099* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
3100
3101* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
3102  'SURVEY DATE:'.
3103
3104* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
3105
3106* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
3107
3108* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
3109  enabled.
3110
3111Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
3112
3113* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
3114
3115* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
3116
3117* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
3118
3119* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
3120  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
3121  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
3122
3123* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
3124  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
3125  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
3126
3127* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
3128  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
3129
3130* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
3131
3132* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
3133
3134* Fix some compiler warnings.
3135
3136Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
3137
3138* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
3139  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
3140  Holder.
3141
3142* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
3143  statistics when the value gets large.
3144
3145* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
3146  equations.
3147
3148* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
3149  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
3150  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
3151  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
3152  better when the "View" box is hidden.
3153
3154* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
3155  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
3156
3157* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
3158  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
3159  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
3160  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
3161  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
3162  way is coming soon.
3163
3164* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
3165  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
3166
3167* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
3168  time ago, so update references.
3169
3170* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
3171  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
3172
3173* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
3174  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
3175
3176* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
3177  Sebastian Ramacher.
3178
3179* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
3180
3181* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
3182
3183* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
3184
3185* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
3186
3187* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
3188
3189* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
3190  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
3191  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
3192
3193* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
3194
3195* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
3196
3197* img library:
3198
3199  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
3200    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
3201    reading).
3202
3203  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
3204    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
3205
3206  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
3207    support these as an extension.
3208
3209  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
3210
3211* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
3212  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
3213  itself has any translations for.
3214
3215* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
3216
3217* Minor translation updates.
3218
3219* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
3220
3221Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
3222
3223* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
3224  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
3225  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
3226  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
3227  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
3228  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
3229  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
3230  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
3231
3232* New version 8 of the 3d format:
3233
3234  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
3235
3236  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
3237    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
3238
3239  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
3240    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
3241
3242  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
3243
3244  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
3245    human-readable string.
3246
3247  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
3248    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
3249
3250* img library:
3251
3252  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
3253
3254  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
3255    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
3256
3257  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
3258    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
3259    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
3260    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
3261    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
3262    explicitly in the file.
3263
3264  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
3265
3266* aven:
3267
3268  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
3269    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
3270    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
3271    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
3272    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
3273    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
3274
3275  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
3276    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
3277    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
3278    queued up.
3279
3280  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
3281    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
3282
3283  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
3284    them like other legs.
3285
3286  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
3287    station names to positions.
3288
3289  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
3290    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
3291    wrongly.
3292
3293  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
3294
3295  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
3296    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
3297    that's used by the desktop).
3298
3299  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
3300
3301  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
3302    error from cavern.
3303
3304  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
3305
3306  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
3307    in the dialog in sync.
3308
3309* cavern:
3310
3311  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
3312    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
3313    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
3314
3315  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
3316    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
3317
3318  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
3319    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
3320    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
3321    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
3322    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
3323    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
3324    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
3325    degrees.
3326
3327  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
3328    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
3329    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
3330
3331  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
3332
3333  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
3334    warnings.
3335
3336  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
3337    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
3338
3339  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
3340    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
3341
3342  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
3343    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
3344    relevant.
3345
3346  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
3347    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
3348    the same line.
3349
3350  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
3351    "End of line not blank" error.
3352
3353  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
3354    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
3355
3356  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
3357    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
3358
3359  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
3360    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
3361    include that character in the token reported.
3362
3363  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
3364    first item.
3365
3366* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
3367
3368* dump3d:
3369
3370  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
3371    info from 3d files in scripts.
3372
3373  + Add --show-dates option.
3374
3375  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
3376
3377  + Report the data style of legs.
3378
3379  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
3380
3381  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
3382
3383* Test suite:
3384
3385  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
3386    expected output so it passes reliably.
3387
3388  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
3389    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
3390
3391  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
3392    for more.
3393
3394* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
3395  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
3396  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
3397
3398* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
3399  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
3400
3401* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
3402  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
3403
3404* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
3405  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
3406  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
3407  settings.
3408
3409* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
3410  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
3411  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
3412  set correctly.
3413
3414* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
3415  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
3416  them to translate.
3417
3418* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
3419  close to complete.
3420
3421* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
3422
3423* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
3424
3425* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
3426
3427Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
3428
3429* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
3430
3431* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
3432  package (ticket#35).
3433
3434* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
3435  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
3436  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
3437
3438* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
3439  Kahler.
3440
3441* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
3442  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
3443  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
3444  libproj and build survex with:
3445
3446      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3447      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3448
3449* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
3450
3451* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
3452
3453* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
3454  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
3455  file".
3456
3457Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
3458
3459* aven:
3460
3461  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
3462
3463  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
3464    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
3465
3466  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
3467
3468  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
3469
3470  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
3471    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
3472
3473* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
3474  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
3475  error early on).
3476
3477* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
3478  the man page source as well as in the filename.
3479
3480Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
3481
3482* aven:
3483
3484  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
3485    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
3486    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
3487    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
3488
3489  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
3490    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
3491
3492  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
3493
3494  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
3495
3496  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
3497
3498* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
3499
3500Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
3501
3502* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
3503
3504* (Mac OS X version):
3505
3506  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
3507
3508  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
3509
3510  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
3511    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
3512
3513  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
3514
3515* aven:
3516
3517  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
3518
3519  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
3520
3521    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
3522      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
3523      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
3524      character.
3525
3526    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
3527      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
3528      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
3529      and two in a few cases.
3530
3531    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
3532      8 pixels.
3533
3534  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
3535    draw crosses.
3536
3537  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
3538    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
3539    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
3540    is the start or end of a tube.
3541
3542  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
3543    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
3544
3545  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
3546    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
3547    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
3548
3549* extend:
3550
3551  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
3552
3553  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
3554    which means "no info").
3555
3556* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
3557  was no longer used - it certainly is!
3558
3559* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
3560  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
3561  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
3562  current character set.
3563
3564* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
3565
3566* Test suite:
3567
3568  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
3569
3570  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
3571
3572Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
3573
3574* aven:
3575
3576  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
3577    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
3578    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
3579    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
3580    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
3581    usable format.
3582
3583  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
3584    files.  (ticket#26)
3585
3586  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
3587    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
3588
3589  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
3590    using lines.
3591
3592  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
3593    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
3594
3595  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
3596    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
3597    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
3598    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
3599
3600  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
3601    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
3602    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
3603
3604  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
3605    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
3606    in 1.2.1.
3607
3608Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
3609
3610* Translation updates for US English.
3611
3612* aven:
3613
3614  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
3615    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
3616
3617  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
3618
3619  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
3620    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
3621    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
3622    visually similar to the survey legs.
3623
3624  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
3625    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
3626
3627  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
3628    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
3629    does still provide some useful information).
3630
3631  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
3632    a depth band boundary.
3633
3634  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
3635    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
3636    full-screen mode).
3637
3638  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
3639    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
3640    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
3641    are a little better, though still not perfect.
3642
3643  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
3644    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
3645
3646  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
3647    that station.
3648
3649  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
3650    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
3651
3652  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
3653    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
3654    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
3655    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
3656    a case as it is a bug).
3657
3658  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
3659    invalidated on window width or height changes.
3660
3661  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
3662    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
3663    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
3664    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
3665
3666  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
3667    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
3668    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
3669    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
3670    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
3671    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
3672    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
3673
3674  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
3675    similarly for other compass points.
3676
3677  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
3678    info in the "About" dialog.
3679
3680  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
3681    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
3682
3683  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
3684    as well as still working with older versions.
3685
3686  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
3687    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
3688
3689  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
3690    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
3691    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
3692    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
3693    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
3694
3695  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
3696    nicer and make better use of the available space.
3697
3698  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
3699    dialog.
3700
3701  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
3702    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
3703
3704  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
3705    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
3706
3707  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
3708
3709  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
3710
3711  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
3712    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
3713    being pressed and toggle full screen.
3714
3715* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
3716  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
3717
3718* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
3719
3720* More messages are now available to be translated.
3721
3722* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
3723  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
3724
3725* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
3726
3727* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
3728  sudo for installing on Unix.
3729
3730* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
3731  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
3732
3733* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
3734  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
3735
3736* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
3737
3738Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
3739
3740* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
3741  English.
3742
3743* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
3744  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
3745  case.
3746
3747* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
3748  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
3749  these into Survex's .msg format.
3750
3751* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
3752  an actual command).
3753
3754* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
3755  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
3756  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
3757  recurrence of that).
3758
3759* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
3760  than /usr/doc/survex.
3761
3762* aven:
3763
3764  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
3765
3766  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
3767    nicer at larger sizes.
3768
3769  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
3770    with GLX >= 1.3.
3771
3772  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
3773
3774  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
3775    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
3776    required libraries set up for building releases.
3777
3778  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
3779
3780  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
3781
3782  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
3783    rendered with icons on some platforms.
3784
3785  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
3786    ISO8859-1).
3787
3788  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
3789    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
3790
3791  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
3792    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
3793
3794* cavern:
3795
3796  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
3797    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
3798    fatal error!
3799
3800  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
3801    format to output.  (ticket#21)
3802
3803* img library:
3804
3805  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
3806    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
3807
3808* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
3809  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
3810
3811Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
3812
3813* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
3814  Portuguese, and US English.
3815
3816* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
3817  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
3818
3819* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
3820  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
3821
3822* img.c:
3823
3824  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
3825
3826  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
3827
3828* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
3829
3830* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
3831  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
3832  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
3833  translated.
3834
3835Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
3836
3837* aven:
3838
3839  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
3840    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
3841
3842  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
3843    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
3844    addresses ticket#12.
3845
3846  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
3847    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
3848    consistent shape.
3849
3850  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
3851    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
3852    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
3853    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
3854
3855  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
3856    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
3857
3858  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
3859
3860  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
3861    more places.
3862
3863  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
3864    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
3865
3866* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
3867
3868* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
3869  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
3870
3871* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
3872
3873* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
3874  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
3875  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
3876  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
3877  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
3878  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
3879
3880* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
3881  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
3882  redirecting to it.
3883
3884* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
3885  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
3886  I/O).
3887
3888* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
3889  headers.
3890
3891* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
3892
3893* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
3894  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
3895
3896* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
3897
3898Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
3899
3900* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
3901
3902* aven:
3903
3904  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
3905    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
3906    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
3907    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
3908
3909  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
3910
3911  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
3912    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
3913    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
3914    a number.
3915
3916  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
3917    log window.
3918
3919  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
3920    various cases.
3921
3922  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
3923    (ticket#9)
3924
3925  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
3926    namespace with its own "Point" class.
3927
3928  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
3929    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
3930
3931  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
3932
3933  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
3934    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
3935
3936* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
3937  give them before.
3938
3939* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
3940  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
3941  point looking for them now.
3942
3943* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
3944  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
3945  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
3946  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
3947
3948* manual:
3949
3950  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
3951
3952  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
3953    (change taken from 1.0).
3954
3955* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
3956
3957Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
3958
3959* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
3960
3961* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
3962
3963* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
3964
3965* aven:
3966
3967  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
3968
3969  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
3970    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
3971    seem to be Unicode now).
3972
3973  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
3974    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
3975
3976  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
3977    text on the survey pane:
3978
3979    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
3980
3981    - Character spacing is improved.
3982
3983    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
3984
3985  + "About" dialog:
3986
3987    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
3988      bug reporting.
3989
3990    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
3991      modern gfx card.
3992
3993    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
3994
3995  + Processing .svx files:
3996
3997    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
3998
3999    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
4000      than opening a separate frame for it.
4001
4002    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
4003
4004    - Fix small memory leak.
4005
4006  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
4007    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
4008    such a name.
4009
4010  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
4011
4012  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
4013    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
4014    invocations.
4015
4016  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
4017
4018  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
4019
4020  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
4021
4022* Documentation:
4023
4024  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
4025
4026  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
4027    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
4028    together isn't very useful.
4029
4030  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
4031
4032  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
4033    the FSF website.
4034
4035  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
4036    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
4037    the source code.
4038
4039* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
4040  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
4041
4042* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
4043  package from the source tarball.
4044
4045* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
4046  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
4047
4048Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
4049
4050* aven:
4051
4052  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
4053
4054  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
4055
4056  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
4057    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
4058    names/crosses).
4059
4060Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
4061
4062* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
4063
4064* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
4065
4066* aven:
4067
4068  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
4069
4070  + Fix character spacing.
4071
4072  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
4073    proportional fonts.
4074
4075  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
4076    rather than the filename.
4077
4078  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
4079
4080  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
4081    depth colouring.
4082
4083  + Add "Colour by Error".
4084
4085  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
4086
4087  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
4088
4089  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
4090
4091  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
4092
4093  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
4094
4095  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
4096
4097  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
4098
4099  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
4100    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
4101
4102  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
4103
4104  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
4105    default.
4106
4107* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
4108  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
4109
4110* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
4111  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
4112
4113* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
4114
4115* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
4116
4117Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
4118
4119* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
4120  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
4121  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
4122  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
4123  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
4124
4125* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
4126  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
4127  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
4128
4129* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
4130  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
4131  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
4132
4133* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
4134  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
4135  allowed).
4136
4137* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
4138
4139* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4140
4141* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
4142
4143Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
4144
4145* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
4146  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
4147
4148* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
4149  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
4150  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
4151
4152* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
4153  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
4154  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
4155  the new "*data passage" style.
4156
4157* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
4158  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
4159
4160* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
4161  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
4162  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
4163  some cases.
4164
4165* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
4166  with no survey loaded.
4167
4168* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
4169
4170* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
4171  loaded a survey.
4172
4173* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
4174
4175* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
4176
4177* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
4178  doesn't exist.
4179
4180* Updated French and Italian translations.
4181
4182* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
4183  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
4184
4185* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
4186  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
4187  update their copy).
4188
4189* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
4190  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
4191  trying to compile).
4192
4193Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
4194
4195* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
4196  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
4197
4198* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
4199  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
4200  has been disabled.
4201
4202* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
4203  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
4204  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
4205  time.
4206
4207* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
4208  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
4209  highlighted stations.
4210
4211* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
4212
4213* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
4214  the tilt from plan to elevation.
4215
4216* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
4217  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
4218
4219* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
4220  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
4221  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
4222
4223* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
4224  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
4225
4226* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
4227
4228* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
4229
4230* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
4231
4232* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
4233  run by an unprivileged user.
4234
4235* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
4236  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
4237  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
4238
4239* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
4240  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
4241
4242* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
4243
4244* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
4245  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
4246
4247* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
4248  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
4249
4250* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
4251  if it isn't.
4252
4253* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
4254  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
4255
4256* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
4257  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
4258
4259* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
4260  reset to default view as well).
4261
4262* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
4263  empty.
4264
4265* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
4266  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
4267
4268* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
4269  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
4270  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
4271
4272* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
4273  and non-zero width lines.
4274
4275* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
4276  was turned on.
4277
4278* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
4279  not always being fully written.
4280
4281Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
4282
4283* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
4284  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
4285  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
4286  date near the middle of that period).
4287
4288* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
4289  with MS Windows).
4290
4291* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
4292  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
4293  several surveys in the same directory).
4294
4295* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
4296  our check for them to include that knowledge.
4297
4298* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
4299
4300* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
4301  moved off a station.
4302
4303* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
4304  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
4305
4306* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
4307
4308* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
4309  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
4310
4311* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
4312  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
4313  dialogs.
4314
4315* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
4316  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
4317
4318* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
4319  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
4320  introduced in 1.1.6).
4321
4322* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
4323  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
4324  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
4325
4326* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
4327  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
4328
4329* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
4330
4331* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
4332
4333Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
4334
4335* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
4336  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
4337
4338* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
4339  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
4340  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
4341  3d file.
4342
4343* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
4344
4345* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
4346
4347* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
4348  Instead turn off depth colouring.
4349
4350* aven: Export as HPGL added.
4351
4352* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
4353  Martin Green).
4354
4355* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
4356  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
4357  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
4358
4359* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
4360
4361* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
4362  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
4363
4364* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
4365  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
4366  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
4367  of everything else.
4368
4369* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
4370  presentation icons.
4371
4372* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
4373  keyboard focus there.
4374
4375* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
4376
4377* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
4378
4379* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
4380
4381* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
4382
4383* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
4384  language to use for messages.
4385
4386* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
4387  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
4388
4389* Removed old printer drivers.
4390
4391* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
4392  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
4393
4394Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
4395
4396* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
4397
4398* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
4399
4400* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
4401  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
4402
4403* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
4404  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
4405
4406* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
4407
4408* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
4409  underground legs is toggled.
4410
4411* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
4412  attached to the previous data.
4413
4414* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
4415  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
4416  them.
4417
4418Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
4419
4420* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
4421
4422* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
4423  continental European countries).
4424
4425* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
4426  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
4427  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
4428
4429* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
4430
4431* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
4432  they're needed.
4433
4434* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
4435
4436* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
4437
4438* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
4439
4440* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
4441  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
4442  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
4443
4444* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
4445
4446Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
4447
4448* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
4449
4450* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
4451
4452* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
4453
4454* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
4455
4456* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
4457
4458* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
4459
4460* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
4461  when there's a presentation loaded.
4462
4463* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
4464  in cave view.
4465
4466* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
4467
4468* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
4469  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
4470  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
4471
4472* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
4473  filename for file history and window title.
4474
4475* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
4476  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
4477  only needed with GTK1.2.
4478
4479* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
4480
4481* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
4482
4483* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
4484
4485* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
4486
4487Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
4488
4489* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
4490  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
4491  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
4492
4493* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
4494  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
4495
4496* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
4497  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
4498  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
4499  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
4500
4501* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
4502
4503* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
4504  with --help and --version.
4505
4506* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
4507  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
4508  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
4509  Fixed all these problems.
4510
4511* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
4512  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
4513  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
4514
4515* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
4516  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
4517  sources.
4518
4519* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
4520
4521* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
4522
4523* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
4524  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
4525
4526* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
4527  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
4528  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
4529  animating.
4530
4531* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
4532
4533* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
4534
4535* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
4536  to this branch.
4537
4538* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
4539
4540  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
4541
4542  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
4543
4544  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
4545
4546* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
4547
4548* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
4549  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
4550
4551* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
4552
4553* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
4554  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
4555
4556* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
4557
4558* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
4559  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
4560  for anyone building from CVS).
4561
4562* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
4563
4564* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
4565
4566* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
4567
4568* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
4569
4570* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
4571  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
4572  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
4573
4574* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
4575  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
4576
4577* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
4578
4579* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
4580  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
4581  loaded).
4582
4583* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
4584
4585Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
4586
4587* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
4588  startup.
4589
4590* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
4591  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
4592
4593Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
4594
4595* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
4596  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
4597  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
4598
4599* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
4600  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
4601  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
4602
4603* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
4604  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
4605  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
4606
4607* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
4608
4609* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
4610  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
4611
4612* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
4613  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
4614
4615* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
4616  better use of screen space.
4617
4618* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
4619
4620* aven: Perspective view.
4621
4622* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
4623
4624* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
4625  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
4626
4627* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
4628  and load/save/run them.
4629
4630* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
4631
4632* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
4633
4634* aven: Depth fogging option.
4635
4636* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
4637
4638* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
4639
4640* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
4641  showing the surface legs.
4642
4643* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
