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