3Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-14):
4
5* aven:
6
7  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
8
9  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
10    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
11    does.
12
13  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
14    values on Windows.
15
16* cavern:
17
18  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
19    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
20    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
21
22  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use.
23
24  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
25    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
26    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
27    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
28
29  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
30    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
31    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
32
33* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
34  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
35  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
36  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
37
38* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
39
40* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
41  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
42
43* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
44
45Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
46
47* aven:
48
49  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
50    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
51    the same or very similar by default.
52
53  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
54    Maynard.
55
56  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
57
58  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
59
60  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
61    away.
62
63  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
64
65  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
66    display it.
67
68* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
69  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
70  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
71  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
72
73* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
74
75* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
76  before 1.2.19.
77
78* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
79  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
80
81* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
82
83* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
84  disk image.
85
86* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
87
88* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
89  libav features we don't use.
90
91* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
92  a load of libav features we don't use.
93
94* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
95  message in the installer.
96
97Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
98
99* aven:
100
101  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
102    the exported file in 1.2.18.
103
104  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
105
106  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
107    exit full screen mode.
108
109  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
110    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
111    using since 1.2.7).
112
113  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
114    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
115    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
116    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
117    St. Lawrence.
118
119  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
120    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
121
122  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
123    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
124    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
125
126  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
127    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
128    case like we do on other platforms.
129
130  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
131
132  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
133    support multi-monitor setups.
134
135  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
136    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
137
138  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
139    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
140
141  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
142    cases.
143
144  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
145    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
146    Erin Lynch)
147
148  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
149    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
150    items in in so it uses the full width.
151
152  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
153    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
154    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
155    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
156    window.
157
158  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
159    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
160    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
161    only relevant on the first ever run.
162
163* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
164
165* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
166  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
167  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
168  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
169  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
170  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
171
172* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
173  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
174
175Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
176
177* aven:
178
179  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
180    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
181    rendering it as a transparent surface.
182
183  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
184    sanely want to perform from the menu.
185
186  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
187    colouring options.
188
189  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
190
191  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
192    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
193    pressing "Escape".
194
195  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
196    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
197
198  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
199    exporting.
200
201  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
202
203  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
204    is quite likely to change.
205
206  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
207    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
208
209  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
210    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
211    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
212
213  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
214
215  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
216    markers in orange.
217
218  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
219    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
220
221  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
222    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
223    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
224    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
225    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
226    them would be better.
227
228  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
229    Gee.
230
231  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
232    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
233    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
234
235  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
236
237* cavern:
238
239  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
240    susscorfa).
241
242  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
243    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
244
245  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
246
247  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
248    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
249
250  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
251    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
252
253* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
254
255* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
256  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
257  in a modern desktop.
258
259* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
260  the filename in the error message.
261
262* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
263  most complete translations.
264
265* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
266
267* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
268  lacks them.
269
270* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
271
272* Manual:
273
274  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
275    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
276
277  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
278
279  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
280
281  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
282    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
283    available for download.
284
285* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
286  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
287  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
288
289* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
290
291* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
292
293Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
294
295* MacOS X version:
296
297  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
298
299  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
300
301  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
302
303  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
304
305  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
306    currently do this for us.
307
308  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
309
310  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
311
312  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
313
314  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
315    OS X cursor.
316
317  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
318    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
319    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
320    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
321    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
322    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
323    with TextEdit.app for example).
324
325  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
326    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
327
328  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
329
330  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
331    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
332
333  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
334    Riggs.
335
336  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
337    space.
338
339  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
340
341  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
342    10.10.1.
343
344  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
345    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
346    errors.
347
348  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
349    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
350    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
351    wxWidgets build supports by default.
352
353  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
354
355* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
356  treat as a single leg.
357
358* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
359
360* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
361
362* aven:
363
364  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
365    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
366
367  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
368    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
369    1:500).
370
371  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
372    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
373    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
374    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
375
376  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
377    there rather than the two animations fighting.
378
379  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
380    fast.
381
382  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
383    when rotating).
384
385  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
386    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
387
388* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
389  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
390
391* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
392
393* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
394
395* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
396
397* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
398
399* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
400  we're using git.
401
402* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
403
404  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
405    compass.
406
407  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
408
409  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
410
411Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
412
413* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
414
415* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
416
417* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
418
419* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
420  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
421
422* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
423
424* tests/: Improve test coverage.
425
426* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
427  Greek and Polish.
428
429* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
430  by Martin Sluka.
431
432* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
433  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
434
435Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
436
437* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
438  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
439  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
440  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
441  for *cs has also been improved.
442
443* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
444  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
445  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
446  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
447
448* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
449  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
450  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
451  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
452  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
453
454* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
455  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
456  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
457
458* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
459
460* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
461
462* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
463  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
464  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
465
466* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
467  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
468
469Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
470
471* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
472  system in use in 3d v8 files.
473
474* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
475  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
476  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
477  export dialog.
478
479* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
480  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
481  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
482  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
483  rather than having one corner there.
484
485* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
486  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
487
488* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
489  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
490
491* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
492  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
493  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
494
495* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
496  such as 64-bit Linux.
497
498* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
499  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
500
501* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
502  64-bit platforms.
503
504* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
505  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
506  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
507
508* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
509  the space available in the aven UI.
510
511* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
512  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
513  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
514
515* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
516  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
517
518* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
519  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
520  about unconnected surveys.
521
522* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
523  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
524
525* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
526  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
527  freed memory.
528
529* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
530
531* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
532
533* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
534
535* Fix a compiler warning.
536
537* Improve test coverage.
538
539Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
540
541* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
542  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
543  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
544
545* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
546  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
547  Hugh St Lawrence.
548
549* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
550  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
551  with using aven on a touch screen device.
552
553* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
554  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
555
556* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
557  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
558
559* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
560  off and back on.
561
562* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
563  up time a little.
564
565* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
566  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
567
568* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
569  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
570  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
571  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
572  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
573  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
574  situation too.
575
576* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
577  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
578  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
579
580* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
581
582* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
583
584* Minor translation updates to French.
585
586* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
587
588* Testsuite improvements:
589
590  + Test that "..." anon station works.
591
592  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
593    fail and give an error count.
594
595  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
596
597Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
598
599* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
600  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
601  Clipstone.
602
603* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
604
605* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
606
607  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
608    overlap the scale bar ticks.
609
610  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
611    clipping the border in print preview.
612
613  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
614
615* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
616  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
617
618* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
619  available.
620
621* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
622
623* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
624
625* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
626  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
627
628* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
629  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
630
631* Various translation updates.
632
633Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
634
635* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
636  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
637
638* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
639  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
640  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
641  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
642
643* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
644  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
645
646* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
647  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
648
649* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
650  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
651
652* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
653  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
654
655* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
656  box".
657
658* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
659
660* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
661  indicators.
662
663* aven: All length units are now translatable.
664
665* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
666  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
667  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
668
669* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
670  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
671  measurably slower.
672
673* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
674  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
675
676* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
677  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
678
679* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
680  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
681  from Therion and elsewhere.
682
683* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
684  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
685  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
686
687* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
688  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
689
690* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
691  A. Riggs for his work on this.
692
693* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
694  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
695
696* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
697
698* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
699  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
700  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
701  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
702  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
703  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
704
705* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
706
707Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
708
709* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
710  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
711  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
712  Clipstone.
713
714* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
715  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
716
717* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
718  exported SVG files.
719
720* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
721
722* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
723  file.
724
725* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
726  GPX files.
727
728* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
729
730* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
731  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
732
733* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
734  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
735  on startup.
736
737* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
738
739* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
740  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
741  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
742  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
743  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
744  other extensions.
745
746* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
747  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
748  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
749  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
750  timezone wrong.
751
752* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
753
754* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
755  'SURVEY DATE:'.
756
757* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
758
759* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
760
761* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
762  enabled.
763
764Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
765
766* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
767
768* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
769
770* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
771
772* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
773  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
774  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
775
776* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
777  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
778  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
779
780* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
781  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
782
783* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
784
785* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
786
787* Fix some compiler warnings.
788
789Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
790
791* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
792  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
793  Holder.
794
795* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
796  statistics when the value gets large.
797
798* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
799  equations.
800
801* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
802  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
803  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
804  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
805  better when the "View" box is hidden.
806
807* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
808  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
809
810* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
811  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
812  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
813  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
814  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
815  way is coming soon.
816
817* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
818  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
819
820* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
821  time ago, so update references.
822
823* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
824  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
825
826* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
827  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
828
829* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
830  Sebastian Ramacher.
831
832* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
833
834* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
835
836* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
837
838* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
839
840* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
841
842* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
843  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
844  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
845
846* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
847
848* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
849
850* img library:
851
852  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
853    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
854    reading).
855
856  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
857    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
858
859  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
860    support these as an extension.
861
862  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
863
864* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
865  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
866  itself has any translations for.
867
868* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
869
870* Minor translation updates.
871
872* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
873
874Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
875
876* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
877  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
878  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
879  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
880  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
881  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
882  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
883  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
884
885* New version 8 of the 3d format:
886
887  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
888
889  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
890    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
891
892  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
893    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
894
895  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
896
897  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
898    human-readable string.
899
900  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
901    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
902
903* img library:
904
905  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
906
907  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
908    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
909
910  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
911    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
912    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
913    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
914    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
915    explicitly in the file.
916
917  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
918
919* aven:
920
921  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
922    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
923    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
924    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
925    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
926    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
927
928  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
929    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
930    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
931    queued up.
932
933  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
934    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
935
936  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
937    them like other legs.
938
939  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
940    station names to positions.
941
942  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
943    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
944    wrongly.
945
946  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
947
948  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
949    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
950    that's used by the desktop).
951
952  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
953
954  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
955    error from cavern.
956
957  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
958
959  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
960    in the dialog in sync.
961
962* cavern:
963
964  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
965    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
966    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
967
968  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
969    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
970
971  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
972    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
973    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
974    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
975    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
976    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
977    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
978    degrees.
979
980  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
981    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
982    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
983
984  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
985
986  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
987    warnings.
988
989  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
990    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
991
992  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
993    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
994
995  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
996    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
997    relevant.
998
999  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
1000    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
1001    the same line.
1002
1003  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
1004    "End of line not blank" error.
1005
1006  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
1007    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
1008
1009  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
1010    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
1011
1012  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
1013    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
1014    include that character in the token reported.
1015
1016  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
1017    first item.
1018
1019* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
1020
1021* dump3d:
1022
1023  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
1024    info from 3d files in scripts.
1025
1026  + Add --show-dates option.
1027
1028  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
1029
1030  + Report the data style of legs.
1031
1032  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
1033
1034  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
1035
1036* Test suite:
1037
1038  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
1039    expected output so it passes reliably.
1040
1041  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
1042    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
1043
1044  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
1045    for more.
1046
1047* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
1048  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
1049  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
1050
1051* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
1052  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
1053
1054* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
1055  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
1056
1057* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
1058  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
1059  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
1060  settings.
1061
1062* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
1063  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
1064  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
1065  set correctly.
1066
1067* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
1068  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
1069  them to translate.
1070
1071* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
1072  close to complete.
1073
1074* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
1075
1076* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
1077
1078* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
1079
1080Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
1081
1082* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
1083
1084* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
1085  package (ticket#35).
1086
1087* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
1088  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
1089  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
1090
1091* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
1092  Kahler.
1093
1094* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
1095  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
1096  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
1097  libproj and build survex with:
1098
1099      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1100      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1101
1102* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
1103
1104* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
1105
1106* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
1107  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
1108  file".
1109
1110Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
1111
1112* aven:
1113
1114  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
1115
1116  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
1117    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
1118
1119  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
1120
1121  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
1122
1123  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
1124    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
1125
1126* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
1127  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
1128  error early on).
1129
1130* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
1131  the man page source as well as in the filename.
1132
1133Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
1134
1135* aven:
1136
1137  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
1138    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
1139    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
1140    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
1141
1142  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
1143    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
1144
1145  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
1146
1147  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
1148
1149  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
1150
1151* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
1152
1153Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
1154
1155* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
1156
1157* (Mac OS X version):
1158
1159  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
1160
1161  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
1162
1163  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
1164    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
1165
1166  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
1167
1168* aven:
1169
1170  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
1171
1172  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
1173
1174    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
1175      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
1176      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
1177      character.
1178
1179    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
1180      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
1181      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
1182      and two in a few cases.
1183
1184    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
1185      8 pixels.
1186
1187  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
1188    draw crosses.
1189
1190  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
1191    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
1192    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
1193    is the start or end of a tube.
1194
1195  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
1196    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
1197
1198  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
1199    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
1200    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
1201
1202* extend:
1203
1204  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
1205
1206  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
1207    which means "no info").
1208
1209* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
1210  was no longer used - it certainly is!
1211
1212* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
1213  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
1214  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
1215  current character set.
1216
1217* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
1218
1219* Test suite:
1220
1221  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
1222
1223  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
1224
1225Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
1226
1227* aven:
1228
1229  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
1230    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
1231    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
1232    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
1233    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
1234    usable format.
1235
1236  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
1237    files.  (ticket#26)
1238
1239  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
1240    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
1241
1242  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
1243    using lines.
1244
1245  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
1246    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
1247
1248  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
1249    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
1250    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
1251    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
1252
1253  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
1254    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
1255    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
1256
1257  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
1258    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
1259    in 1.2.1.
1260
1261Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
1262
1263* Translation updates for US English.
1264
1265* aven:
1266
1267  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
1268    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
1269
1270  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
1271
1272  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
1273    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
1274    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
1275    visually similar to the survey legs.
1276
1277  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
1278    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
1279
1280  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
1281    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
1282    does still provide some useful information).
1283
1284  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
1285    a depth band boundary.
1286
1287  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
1288    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
1289    full-screen mode).
1290
1291  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
1292    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
1293    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
1294    are a little better, though still not perfect.
1295
1296  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
1297    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
1298
1299  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
1300    that station.
1301
1302  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
1303    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
1304
1305  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
1306    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
1307    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
1308    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
1309    a case as it is a bug).
1310
1311  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
1312    invalidated on window width or height changes.
1313
1314  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
1315    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
1316    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
1317    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
1318
1319  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
1320    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
1321    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
1322    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
1323    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
1324    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
1325    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
1326
1327  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
1328    similarly for other compass points.
1329
1330  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
1331    info in the "About" dialog.
1332
1333  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
1334    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
1335
1336  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
1337    as well as still working with older versions.
1338
1339  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
1340    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
1341
1342  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
1343    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
1344    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
1345    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
1346    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
1347
1348  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
1349    nicer and make better use of the available space.
1350
1351  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
1352    dialog.
1353
1354  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
1355    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
1356
1357  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
1358    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
1359
1360  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
1361
1362  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
1363
1364  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
1365    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
1366    being pressed and toggle full screen.
1367
1368* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
1369  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
1370
1371* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
1372
1373* More messages are now available to be translated.
1374
1375* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
1376  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
1377
1378* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
1379
1380* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
1381  sudo for installing on Unix.
1382
1383* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
1384  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
1385
1386* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
1387  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
1388
1389* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1390
1391Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
1392
1393* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
1394  English.
1395
1396* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
1397  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
1398  case.
1399
1400* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
1401  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
1402  these into Survex's .msg format.
1403
1404* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
1405  an actual command).
1406
1407* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
1408  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
1409  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
1410  recurrence of that).
1411
1412* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
1413  than /usr/doc/survex.
1414
1415* aven:
1416
1417  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
1418
1419  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
1420    nicer at larger sizes.
1421
1422  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
1423    with GLX >= 1.3.
1424
1425  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
1426
1427  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
1428    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
1429    required libraries set up for building releases.
1430
1431  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
1432
1433  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
1434
1435  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
1436    rendered with icons on some platforms.
1437
1438  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
1439    ISO8859-1).
1440
1441  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
1442    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
1443
1444  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
1445    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
1446
1447* cavern:
1448
1449  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
1450    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
1451    fatal error!
1452
1453  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
1454    format to output.  (ticket#21)
1455
1456* img library:
1457
1458  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
1459    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
1460
1461* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
1462  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
1463
1464Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
1465
1466* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
1467  Portuguese, and US English.
1468
1469* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
1470  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
1471
1472* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
1473  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
1474
1475* img.c:
1476
1477  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
1478
1479  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
1480
1481* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
1482
1483* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
1484  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
1485  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
1486  translated.
1487
1488Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
1489
1490* aven:
1491
1492  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
1493    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
1494
1495  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
1496    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
1497    addresses ticket#12.
1498
1499  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
1500    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
1501    consistent shape.
1502
1503  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
1504    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
1505    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
1506    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
1507
1508  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
1509    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
1510
1511  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
1512
1513  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
1514    more places.
1515
1516  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
1517    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
1518
1519* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
1520
1521* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
1522  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
1523
1524* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
1525
1526* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
1527  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
1528  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
1529  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
1530  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
1531  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
1532
1533* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
1534  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
1535  redirecting to it.
1536
1537* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
1538  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
1539  I/O).
1540
1541* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
1542  headers.
1543
1544* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
1545
1546* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
1547  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
1548
1549* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
1550
1551Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
1552
1553* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
1554
1555* aven:
1556
1557  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
1558    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
1559    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
1560    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
1561
1562  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
1563
1564  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
1565    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
1566    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
1567    a number.
1568
1569  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
1570    log window.
1571
1572  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
1573    various cases.
1574
1575  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
1576    (ticket#9)
1577
1578  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
1579    namespace with its own "Point" class.
1580
1581  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
1582    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
1583
1584  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
1585
1586  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
1587    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
1588
1589* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
1590  give them before.
1591
1592* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
1593  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
1594  point looking for them now.
1595
1596* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
1597  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
1598  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
1599  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
1600
1601* manual:
1602
1603  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
1604
1605  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
1606    (change taken from 1.0).
1607
1608* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
1609
1610Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
1611
1612* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
1613
1614* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
1615
1616* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
1617
1618* aven:
1619
1620  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
1621
1622  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
1623    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
1624    seem to be Unicode now).
1625
1626  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
1627    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
1628
1629  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
1630    text on the survey pane:
1631
1632    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
1633
1634    - Character spacing is improved.
1635
1636    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
1637
1638  + "About" dialog:
1639
1640    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
1641      bug reporting.
1642
1643    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
1644      modern gfx card.
1645
1646    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
1647
1648  + Processing .svx files:
1649
1650    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
1651
1652    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
1653      than opening a separate frame for it.
1654
1655    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
1656
1657    - Fix small memory leak.
1658
1659  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
1660    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
1661    such a name.
1662
1663  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
1664
1665  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
1666    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
1667    invocations.
1668
1669  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
1670
1671  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
1672
1673  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
1674
1675* Documentation:
1676
1677  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
1678
1679  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
1680    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
1681    together isn't very useful.
1682
1683  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
1684
1685  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
1686    the FSF website.
1687
1688  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
1689    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
1690    the source code.
1691
1692* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
1693  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
1694
1695* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
1696  package from the source tarball.
1697
1698* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
1699  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
1700
1701Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
1702
1703* aven:
1704
1705  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
1706
1707  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
1708
1709  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
1710    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
1711    names/crosses).
1712
1713Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
1714
1715* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
1716
1717* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
1718
1719* aven:
1720
1721  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
1722
1723  + Fix character spacing.
1724
1725  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
1726    proportional fonts.
1727
1728  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
1729    rather than the filename.
1730
1731  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
1732
1733  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
1734    depth colouring.
1735
1736  + Add "Colour by Error".
1737
1738  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
1739
1740  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
1741
1742  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
1743
1744  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
1745
1746  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
1747
1748  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
1749
1750  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
1751
1752  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
1753    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
1754
1755  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
1756
1757  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
1758    default.
1759
1760* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
1761  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
1762
1763* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
1764  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
1765
1766* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
1767
1768* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
1769
1770Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
1771
1772* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
1773  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
1774  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
1775  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
1776  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
1777
1778* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
1779  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
1780  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
1781
1782* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
1783  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
1784  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
1785
1786* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
1787  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
1788  allowed).
1789
1790* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
1791
1792* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1793
1794* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1795
1796Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
1797
1798* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
1799  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
1800
1801* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
1802  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
1803  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
1804
1805* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
1806  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
1807  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
1808  the new "*data passage" style.
1809
1810* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
1811  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
1812
1813* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
1814  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
1815  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
1816  some cases.
1817
1818* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
1819  with no survey loaded.
1820
1821* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
1822
1823* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
1824  loaded a survey.
1825
1826* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
1827
1828* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
1829
1830* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
1831  doesn't exist.
1832
1833* Updated French and Italian translations.
1834
1835* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
1836  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
1837
1838* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
1839  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
1840  update their copy).
1841
1842* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
1843  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
1844  trying to compile).
1845
1846Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
1847
1848* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
1849  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
1850
1851* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
1852  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
1853  has been disabled.
1854
1855* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
1856  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
1857  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
1858  time.
1859
1860* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
1861  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
1862  highlighted stations.
1863
1864* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
1865
1866* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
1867  the tilt from plan to elevation.
1868
1869* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
1870  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
1871
1872* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
1873  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
1874  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
1875
1876* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
1877  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
1878
1879* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
1880
1881* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
1882
1883* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
1884
1885* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
1886  run by an unprivileged user.
1887
1888* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
1889  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
1890  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
1891
1892* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
1893  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
1894
1895* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
1896
1897* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
1898  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
1899
1900* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
1901  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
1902
1903* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
1904  if it isn't.
1905
1906* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
1907  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
1908
1909* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
1910  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
1911
1912* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
1913  reset to default view as well).
1914
1915* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
1916  empty.
1917
1918* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
1919  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
1920
1921* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
1922  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
1923  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
1924
1925* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
1926  and non-zero width lines.
1927
1928* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
1929  was turned on.
1930
1931* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
1932  not always being fully written.
1933
1934Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
1935
1936* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
1937  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
1938  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
1939  date near the middle of that period).
1940
1941* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
1942  with MS Windows).
1943
1944* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
1945  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
1946  several surveys in the same directory).
1947
1948* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
1949  our check for them to include that knowledge.
1950
1951* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
1952
1953* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
1954  moved off a station.
1955
1956* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
1957  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
1958
1959* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
1960
1961* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
1962  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
1963
1964* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
1965  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
1966  dialogs.
1967
1968* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
1969  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
1970
1971* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
1972  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
1973  introduced in 1.1.6).
1974
1975* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
1976  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
1977  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
1978
1979* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
1980  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
1981
1982* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
1983
1984* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
1985
1986Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
1987
1988* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
1989  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
1990
1991* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
1992  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
1993  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
1994  3d file.
1995
1996* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
1997
1998* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
1999
2000* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
2001  Instead turn off depth colouring.
2002
2003* aven: Export as HPGL added.
2004
2005* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
2006  Martin Green).
2007
2008* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
2009  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
2010  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
2011
2012* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
2013
2014* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
2015  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
2016
2017* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
2018  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
2019  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
2020  of everything else.
2021
2022* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
2023  presentation icons.
2024
2025* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
2026  keyboard focus there.
2027
2028* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
2029
2030* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
2031
2032* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
2033
2034* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
2035
2036* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
2037  language to use for messages.
2038
2039* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
2040  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
2041
2042* Removed old printer drivers.
2043
2044* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
2045  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
2046
2047Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
2048
2049* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
2050
2051* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
2052
2053* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
2054  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
2055
2056* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
2057  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
2058
2059* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
2060
2061* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
2062  underground legs is toggled.
2063
2064* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
2065  attached to the previous data.
2066
2067* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
2068  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
2069  them.
2070
2071Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
2072
2073* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
2074
2075* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
2076  continental European countries).
2077
2078* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
2079  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
2080  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
2081
2082* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
2083
2084* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
2085  they're needed.
2086
2087* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
2088
2089* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
2090
2091* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
2092
2093* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
2094  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
2095  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
2096
2097* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
2098
2099Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
2100
2101* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
2102
2103* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
2104
2105* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
2106
2107* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
2108
2109* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
2110
2111* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
2112
2113* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
2114  when there's a presentation loaded.
2115
2116* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
2117  in cave view.
2118
2119* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
2120
2121* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
2122  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
2123  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
2124
2125* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
2126  filename for file history and window title.
2127
2128* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
2129  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
2130  only needed with GTK1.2.
2131
2132* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
2133
2134* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
2135
2136* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
2137
2138* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
2139
2140Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
2141
2142* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
2143  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
2144  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
2145
2146* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
2147  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
2148
2149* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
2150  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
2151  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
2152  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
2153
2154* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
2155
2156* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
2157  with --help and --version.
2158
2159* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
2160  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
2161  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
2162  Fixed all these problems.
2163
2164* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
2165  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
2166  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
2167
2168* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
2169  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
2170  sources.
2171
2172* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
2173
2174* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
2175
2176* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
2177  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
2178
2179* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
2180  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
2181  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
2182  animating.
2183
2184* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
2185
2186* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
2187
2188* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
2189  to this branch.
2190
2191* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
2192
2193  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
2194
2195  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
2196
2197  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
2198
2199* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
2200
2201* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
2202  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
2203
2204* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
2205
2206* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
2207  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
2208
2209* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
2210
2211* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
2212  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
2213  for anyone building from CVS).
2214
2215* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
2216
2217* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
2218
2219* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
2220
2221* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
2222
2223* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
2224  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
2225  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
2226
2227* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
2228  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
2229
2230* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
2231
2232* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
2233  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
2234  loaded).
2235
2236* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
2237
2238Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
2239
2240* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
2241  startup.
2242
2243* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
2244  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
2245
2246Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
2247
2248* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
2249  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
2250  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
2251
2252* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
2253  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
2254  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
2255
2256* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
2257  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
2258  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
2259
2260* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
2261
2262* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
2263  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
2264
2265* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
2266  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
2267
2268* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
2269  better use of screen space.
2270
2271* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
2272
2273* aven: Perspective view.
2274
2275* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
2276
2277* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
2278  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
2279
2280* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
2281  and load/save/run them.
2282
2283* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
2284
2285* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
2286
2287* aven: Depth fogging option.
2288
2289* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
2290
2291* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
2292
2293* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
2294  showing the surface legs.
2295
2296* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
