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