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