3Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-03-16):
4
5        * configure.ac,src/moviemaker.cc: Fix to work with libav 10.  Reported
6          by Moritz Muehlenhoff in <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
7
8        * survex.spec: Update spec file.
9
10        * src/osdepend.c: Don't use isalpha() for checking drive letters as
11          it's locale dependent.
12
13        * lib/de.po,lib/de_CH.po: Translation updates.
14
15        * src/mainfrm.cc: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather
16          than altitude (broken in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
17
18        * src/filename.c: Comment tweak.
19
20        * lib/bg.po,lib/de_CH.po,lib/id.po: Translation updates.
21
22        * lib/: Translation updates.
23
24        * src/moviemaker.cc: Fix to build when avcodec_free_frame() isn't
25          available.
26
27Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
28
29* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
30  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
31
32* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
33  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
34  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
35  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
36
37* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
38  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
39
40* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
41  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
42
43* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
44  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
45
46* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
47  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
48
49* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
50  box".
51
52* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
53
54* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
55  indicators.
56
57* aven: All length units are now translatable.
58
59* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
60  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
61  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
62
63* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
64  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
65  measurably slower.
66
67* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
68  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
69
70* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
71  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
72
73* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
74  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
75  from Therion and elsewhere.
76
77* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
78  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
79  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
80
81* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
82  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
83
84* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
85  A. Riggs for his work on this.
86
87* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
88  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
89
90* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
91
92* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
93  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
94  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
95  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
96  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
97  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
98
99* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
100
101Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
102
103* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
104  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
105  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
106  Clipstone.
107
108* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
109  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
110
111* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
112  exported SVG files.
113
114* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
115
116* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
117  file.
118
119* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
120  GPX files.
121
122* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
123
124* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
125  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
126
127* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
128  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
129  on startup.
130
131* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
132
133* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
134  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
135  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
136  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
137  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
138  other extensions.
139
140* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
141  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
142  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
143  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
144  timezone wrong.
145
146* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
147
148* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
149  'SURVEY DATE:'.
150
151* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
152
153* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
154
155* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
156  enabled.
157
158Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
159
160* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
161
162* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
163
164* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
165
166* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
167  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
168  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
169
170* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
171  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
172  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
173
174* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
175  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
176
177* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
178
179* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
180
181* Fix some compiler warnings.
182
183Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
184
185* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
186  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
187  Holder.
188
189* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
190  statistics when the value gets large.
191
192* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
193  equations.
194
195* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
196  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
197  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
198  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
199  better when the "View" box is hidden.
200
201* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
202  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
203
204* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
205  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
206  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
207  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
208  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
209  way is coming soon.
210
211* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
212  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
213
214* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
215  time ago, so update references.
216
217* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
218  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
219
220* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
221  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
222
223* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
224  Sebastian Ramacher.
225
226* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
227
228* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
229
230* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
231
232* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
233
234* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
235
236* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
237  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
238  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
239
240* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
241
242* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
243
244* img library:
245
246  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
247    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
248    reading).
249
250  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
251    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
252
253  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
254    support these as an extension.
255
256  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
257
258* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
259  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
260  itself has any translations for.
261
262* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
263
264* Minor translation updates.
265
266* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
267
268Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
269
270* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
271  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
272  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
273  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
274  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
275  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
276  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
277  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
278
279* New version 8 of the 3d format:
280
281  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
282
283  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
284    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
285
286  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
287    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
288
289  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
290
291  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
292    human-readable string.
293
294  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
295    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
296
297* img library:
298
299  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
300
301  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
302    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
303
304  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
305    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
306    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
307    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
308    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
309    explicitly in the file.
310
311  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
312
313* aven:
314
315  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
316    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
317    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
318    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
319    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
320    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
321
322  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
323    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
324    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
325    queued up.
326
327  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
328    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
329
330  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
331    them like other legs.
332
333  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
334    station names to positions.
335
336  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
337    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
338    wrongly.
339
340  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
341
342  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
343    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
344    that's used by the desktop).
345
346  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
347
348  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
349    error from cavern.
350
351  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
352
353  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
354    in the dialog in sync.
355
356* cavern:
357
358  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
359    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
360    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
361
362  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
363    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
364
365  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
366    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
367    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
368    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
369    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
370    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
371    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
372    degrees.
373
374  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
375    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
376    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
377
378  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
379
380  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
381    warnings.
382
383  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
384    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
385
386  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
387    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
388
389  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
390    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
391    relevant.
392
393  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
394    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
395    the same line.
396
397  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
398    "End of line not blank" error.
399
400  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
401    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
402
403  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
404    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
405
406  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
407    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
408    include that character in the token reported.
409
410  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
411    first item.
412
413* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
414
415* dump3d:
416
417  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
418    info from 3d files in scripts.
419
420  + Add --show-dates option.
421
422  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
423
424  + Report the data style of legs.
425
426  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
427
428  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
429
430* Test suite:
431
432  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
433    expected output so it passes reliably.
434
435  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
436    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
437
438  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
439    for more.
440
441* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
442  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
443  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
444
445* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
446  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
447
448* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
449  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
450
451* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
452  with SURVEX_LANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
453  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
454  settings.
455
456* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
457  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
458  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
459  set correctly.
460
461* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
462  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
463  them to translate.
464
465* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
466  close to complete.
467
468* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
469
470* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
471
472* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
473
474Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
475
476* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
477
478* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
479  package (ticket#35).
480
481* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
482  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
483  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
484
485* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
486  Kahler.
487
488* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
489  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
490  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
491  libproj and build survex with:
492
493      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
494      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
495
496* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
497
498* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
499
500* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
501  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
502  file".
503
504Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
505
506* aven:
507
508  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
509
510  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
511    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
512
513  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
514
515  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
516
517  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
518    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
519
520* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
521  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
522  error early on).
523
524* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
525  the man page source as well as in the filename.
526
527Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
528
529* aven:
530
531  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
532    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
533    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
534    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
535
536  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
537    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
538
539  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
540
541  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
542
543  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
544
545* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
546
547Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
548
549* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
550
551* (Mac OS X version):
552
553  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
554
555  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
556
557  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
558    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
559
560  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
561
562* aven:
563
564  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
565
566  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
567
568    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
569      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
570      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
571      character.
572
573    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
574      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
575      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
576      and two in a few cases.
577
578    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
579      8 pixels.
580
581  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
582    draw crosses.
583
584  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
585    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
586    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
587    is the start or end of a tube.
588
589  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
590    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
591
592  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
593    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
594    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
595
596* extend:
597
598  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
599
600  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
601    which means "no info").
602
603* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
604  was no longer used - it certainly is!
605
606* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
607  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
608  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
609  current character set.
610
611* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
612
613* Test suite:
614
615  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
616
617  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
618
619Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
620
621* aven:
622
623  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
624    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
625    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
626    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
627    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
628    usable format.
629
630  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
631    files.  (ticket#26)
632
633  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
634    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
635
636  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
637    using lines.
638
639  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
640    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
641
642  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
643    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
644    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
645    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
646
647  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
648    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
649    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
650
651  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
652    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
653    in 1.2.1.
654
655Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
656
657* Translation updates for US English.
658
659* aven:
660
661  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
662    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
663
664  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
665
666  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
667    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
668    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
669    visually similar to the survey legs.
670
671  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
672    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
673
674  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
675    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
676    does still provide some useful information).
677
678  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
679    a depth band boundary.
680
681  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
682    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
683    full-screen mode).
684
685  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
686    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
687    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
688    are a little better, though still not perfect.
689
690  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
691    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
692
693  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
694    that station.
695
696  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
697    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
698
699  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
700    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
701    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
702    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
703    a case as it is a bug).
704
705  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
706    invalidated on window width or height changes.
707
708  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
709    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
710    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
711    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
712
713  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
714    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
715    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
716    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
717    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
718    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
719    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
720
721  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
722    similarly for other compass points.
723
724  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
725    info in the "About" dialog.
726
727  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
728    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
729
730  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
731    as well as still working with older versions.
732
733  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
734    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
735
736  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
737    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
738    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
739    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
740    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
741
742  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
743    nicer and make better use of the available space.
744
745  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
746    dialog.
747
748  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
749    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
750
751  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
752    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
753
754  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
755
756  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
757
758  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
759    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
760    being pressed and toggle full screen.
761
762* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
763  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
764
765* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
766
767* More messages are now available to be translated.
768
769* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
770  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
771
772* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
773
774* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
775  sudo for installing on Unix.
776
777* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
778  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
779
780* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
781  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
782
783* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
784
785Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
786
787* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
788  English.
789
790* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
791  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
792  case.
793
794* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
795  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
796  these into Survex's .msg format.
797
798* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
799  an actual command).
800
801* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
802  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
803  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
804  recurrence of that).
805
806* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
807  than /usr/doc/survex.
808
809* aven:
810
811  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
812
813  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
814    nicer at larger sizes.
815
816  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
817    with GLX >= 1.3.
818
819  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
820
821  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
822    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
823    required libraries set up for building releases.
824
825  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
826
827  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
828
829  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
830    rendered with icons on some platforms.
831
832  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
833    ISO8859-1).
834
835  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
836    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
837
838  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
839    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
840
841* cavern:
842
843  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
844    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
845    fatal error!
846
847  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
848    format to output.  (ticket#21)
849
850* img library:
851
852  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
853    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
854
855* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
856  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
857
858Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
859
860* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
861  Portuguese, and US English.
862
863* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
864  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
865
866* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
867  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
868
869* img.c:
870
871  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
872
873  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
874
875* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
876
877* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
878  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
879  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
880  translated.
881
882Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
883
884* aven:
885
886  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
887    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
888
889  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
890    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
891    addresses ticket#12.
892
893  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
894    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
895    consistent shape.
896
897  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
898    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
899    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
900    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
901
902  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
903    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
904
905  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
906
907  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
908    more places.
909
910  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
911    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
912
913* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
914
915* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
916  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
917
918* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
919
920* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
921  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
922  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
923  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
924  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
925  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
926
927* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
928  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
929  redirecting to it.
930
931* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
932  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
933  I/O).
934
935* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
936  headers.
937
938* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
939
940* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
941  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
942
943* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
944
945Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
946
947* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
948
949* aven:
950
951  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
952    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
953    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
954    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
955
956  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
957
958  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
959    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
960    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
961    a number.
962
963  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
964    log window.
965
966  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
967    various cases.
968
969  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
970    (ticket#9)
971
972  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
973    namespace with its own "Point" class.
974
975  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
976    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
977
978  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
979
980  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
981    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
982
983* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
984  give them before.
985
986* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
987  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
988  point looking for them now.
989
990* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
991  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
992  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
993  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
994
995* manual:
996
997  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
998
999  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
1000    (change taken from 1.0).
1001
1002* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
1003
1004Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
1005
1006* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
1007
1008* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
1009
1010* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
1011
1012* aven:
1013
1014  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
1015
1016  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
1017    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
1018    seem to be Unicode now).
1019
1020  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
1021    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
1022
1023  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
1024    text on the survey pane:
1025
1026    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
1027
1028    - Character spacing is improved.
1029
1030    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
1031
1032  + "About" dialog:
1033
1034    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
1035      bug reporting.
1036
1037    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
1038      modern gfx card.
1039
1040    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
1041
1042  + Processing .svx files:
1043
1044    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
1045
1046    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
1047      than opening a separate frame for it.
1048
1049    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
1050
1051    - Fix small memory leak.
1052
1053  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
1054    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
1055    such a name.
1056
1057  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
1058
1059  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
1060    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
1061    invocations.
1062
1063  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
1064
1065  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
1066
1067  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
1068
1069* Documentation:
1070
1071  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
1072
1073  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
1074    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
1075    together isn't very useful.
1076
1077  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
1078
1079  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
1080    the FSF website.
1081
1082  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
1083    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
1084    the source code.
1085
1086* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
1087  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
1088
1089* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
1090  package from the source tarball.
1091
1092* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
1093  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
1094
1095Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
1096
1097* aven:
1098
1099  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
1100
1101  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
1102
1103  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
1104    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
1105    names/crosses).
1106
1107Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
1108
1109* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
1110
1111* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
1112
1113* aven:
1114
1115  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
1116
1117  + Fix character spacing.
1118
1119  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
1120    proportional fonts.
1121
1122  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
1123    rather than the filename.
1124
1125  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
1126
1127  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
1128    depth colouring.
1129
1130  + Add "Colour by Error".
1131
1132  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
1133
1134  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
1135
1136  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
1137
1138  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
1139
1140  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
1141
1142  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
1143
1144  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
1145
1146  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
1147    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
1148
1149  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
1150
1151  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
1152    default.
1153
1154* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
1155  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
1156
1157* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
1158  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
1159
1160* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
1161
1162* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
1163
1164Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
1165
1166* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
1167  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
1168  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
1169  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
1170  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
1171
1172* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
1173  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
1174  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
1175
1176* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
1177  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
1178  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
1179
1180* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
1181  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
1182  allowed).
1183
1184* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
1185
1186* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1187
1188* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1189
1190Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
1191
1192* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
1193  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
1194
1195* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
1196  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
1197  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
1198
1199* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
1200  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
1201  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
1202  the new "*data passage" style.
1203
1204* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
1205  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
1206
1207* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
1208  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
1209  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
1210  some cases.
1211
1212* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
1213  with no survey loaded.
1214
1215* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
1216
1217* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
1218  loaded a survey.
1219
1220* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
1221
1222* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
1223
1224* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
1225  doesn't exist.
1226
1227* Updated French and Italian translations.
1228
1229* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
1230  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
1231
1232* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
1233  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
1234  update their copy).
1235
1236* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
1237  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
1238  trying to compile).
1239
1240Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
1241
1242* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
1243  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
1244
1245* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
1246  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
1247  has been disabled.
1248
1249* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
1250  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
1251  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
1252  time.
1253
1254* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
1255  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
1256  highlighted stations.
1257
1258* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
1259
1260* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
1261  the tilt from plan to elevation.
1262
1263* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
1264  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
1265
1266* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
1267  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
1268  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
1269
1270* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
1271  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
1272
1273* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
1274
1275* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
1276
1277* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
1278
1279* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
1280  run by an unprivileged user.
1281
1282* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
1283  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
1284  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
1285
1286* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
1287  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
1288
1289* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
1290
1291* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
1292  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
1293
1294* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
1295  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
1296
1297* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
1298  if it isn't.
1299
1300* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
1301  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
1302
1303* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
1304  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
1305
1306* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
1307  reset to default view as well).
1308
1309* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
1310  empty.
1311
1312* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
1313  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
1314
1315* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
1316  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
1317  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
1318
1319* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
1320  and non-zero width lines.
1321
1322* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
1323  was turned on.
1324
1325* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
1326  not always being fully written.
1327
1328Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
1329
1330* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
1331  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
1332  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
1333  date near the middle of that period).
1334
1335* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
1336  with MS Windows).
1337
1338* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
1339  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
1340  several surveys in the same directory).
1341
1342* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
1343  our check for them to include that knowledge.
1344
1345* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
1346
1347* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
1348  moved off a station.
1349
1350* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
1351  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
1352
1353* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
1354
1355* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
1356  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
1357
1358* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
1359  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
1360  dialogs.
1361
1362* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
1363  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
1364
1365* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
1366  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
1367  introduced in 1.1.6).
1368
1369* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
1370  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
1371  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
1372
1373* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
1374  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
1375
1376* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
1377
1378* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
1379
1380Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
1381
1382* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
1383  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
1384
1385* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
1386  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
1387  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
1388  3d file.
1389
1390* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
1391
1392* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
1393
1394* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
1395  Instead turn off depth colouring.
1396
1397* aven: Export as HPGL added.
1398
1399* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
1400  Martin Green).
1401
1402* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
1403  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
1404  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
1405
1406* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
1407
1408* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
1409  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
1410
1411* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
1412  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
1413  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
1414  of everything else.
1415
1416* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
1417  presentation icons.
1418
1419* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
1420  keyboard focus there.
1421
1422* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
1423
1424* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
1425
1426* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
1427
1428* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
1429
1430* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
1431  language to use for messages.
1432
1433* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
1434  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
1435
1436* Removed old printer drivers.
1437
1438* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
1439  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
1440
1441Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
1442
1443* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
1444
1445* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
1446
1447* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
1448  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
1449
1450* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
1451  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
1452
1453* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
1454
1455* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
1456  underground legs is toggled.
1457
1458* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
1459  attached to the previous data.
1460
1461* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
1462  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
1463  them.
1464
1465Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
1466
1467* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
1468
1469* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
1470  continental European countries).
1471
1472* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
1473  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
1474  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
1475
1476* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
1477
1478* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
1479  they're needed.
1480
1481* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
1482
1483* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
1484
1485* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
1486
1487* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
1488  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
1489  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
1490
1491* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
1492
1493Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
1494
1495* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
1496
1497* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
1498
1499* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
1500
1501* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
1502
1503* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
1504
1505* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
1506
1507* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
1508  when there's a presentation loaded.
1509
1510* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
1511  in cave view.
1512
1513* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
1514
1515* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
1516  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
1517  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
1518
1519* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
1520  filename for file history and window title.
1521
1522* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
1523  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
1524  only needed with GTK1.2.
1525
1526* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
1527
1528* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
1529
1530* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
1531
1532* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
1533
1534Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
1535
1536* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
1537  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
1538  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
1539
1540* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
1541  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
1542
1543* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
1544  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
1545  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
1546  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
1547
1548* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
1549
1550* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
1551  with --help and --version.
1552
1553* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
1554  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
1555  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
1556  Fixed all these problems.
1557
1558* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
1559  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
1560  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
1561
1562* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
1563  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
1564  sources.
1565
1566* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
1567
1568* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
1569
1570* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
1571  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
1572
1573* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
1574  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
1575  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
1576  animating.
1577
1578* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
1579
1580* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
1581
1582* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
1583  to this branch.
1584
1585* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
1586
1587  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
1588
1589  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
1590
1591  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
1592
1593* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
1594
1595* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
1596  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
1597
1598* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
1599
1600* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
1601  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
1602
1603* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
1604
1605* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
1606  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
1607  for anyone building from CVS).
1608
1609* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
1610
1611* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
1612
1613* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
1614
1615* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
1616
1617* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
1618  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
1619  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
1620
1621* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
1622  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
1623
1624* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
1625
1626* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
1627  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
1628  loaded).
1629
1630* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
1631
1632Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
1633
1634* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
1635  startup.
1636
1637* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
1638  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
1639
1640Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
1641
1642* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
1643  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
1644  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
1645
1646* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
1647  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
1648  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
1649
1650* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
1651  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
1652  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
1653
1654* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
1655
1656* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
1657  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
1658
1659* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
1660  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
1661
1662* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
1663  better use of screen space.
1664
1665* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
1666
1667* aven: Perspective view.
1668
1669* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
1670
1671* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
1672  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
1673
1674* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
1675  and load/save/run them.
1676
1677* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
1678
1679* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
1680
1681* aven: Depth fogging option.
1682
1683* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
1684
1685* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
1686
1687* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
1688  showing the surface legs.
1689
1690* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
