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