3Changes in 1.4.10 (2024-08-??):
4
5* aven:
6
7  + Use a fixed rotation rate for rotating the view to North, South, East or
8    West (shortcut keys `N`, `S`, `E` and `W`).  We were using the same
9    variable rate which auto-rotation does for this case, but really these are
10    just animations to help the user see the change that's happening, so a
11    fixed rate makes more sense (and is what tilting to plan or elevation
12    does).  The new fixed rotation rate for this is double what the default
13    variable rate was, which means the longest rotation (e.g. from S to N)
14    takes 3 seconds rather than 6.
15
16* aven/survexport:
17
18  + Fix syntax of shot flags in PLT export (incorrect since introduced in
19    1.4.6).
20
21  + Map Survex duplicate flag to `L` shot flag in PLT export.
22
23  + Invent shorter names for anonymous stations in PLT export.  The PLT file
24    format documentation says station names can be up to 12 characters, but the
25    ones we generated were longer than this which is liable to trip up
26    consumers of this format that only allow for the specified length.
27    We now generate names using a sequential counter with a two character
28    prefix so they should fit in the 12 character limit for any cave
29    survey.
30
31  + 3D export now includes all leg and station flags.
32
33* cavern:
34
35  + Unconnected survey stations are now handled as a warning, whereas
36    previously this was an error.  This is necessary when processing Walls data
37    where it seems having hanging surveys is the norm, and Walls itself only
38    warns about them.
39
40    The support is also enabled for native Survex data since it allows viewing
41    the connected parts of a survey with missing connections without having to
42    comment out the unconnected parts (and then remember to fully uncomment
43    once connections are surveyed).  Fixes #16, reported by Duncan Collis.
44
45    Currently the component count and loop count are not shown in this case.
46
47  + Avoid multiple reports of an unconnected survey station.  This could happen
48    in some cases where a group of equated stations had more than four legs
49    connected to it.
50
51  + Fix missing report of unconnected survey station.  We aim to report at
52    least one station in every unconnected piece of survey, but if a piece had
53    been simplified to a single station which was anonymous (e.g. a disto splay
54    shot) then we wouldn't report anything for that piece.  Now we find the
55    traverse that was attached to it and report the next station along that
56    traverse.
57
58  + Report file and line location each unconnected survey station.
59
60  + This warning now says either `*entrance` or `*export` depending on which
61    it actually was:
62
63      Station "bar.1" referred to by *entrance or *export but never used
64
65  + Fix several cases of mishandling comments without blanks before them:
66
67    - After an anonymous station.
68
69    - After an ignored reading.  The `ignore` would incorrectly also skip the
70      comment character and any characters which followed up to the next blank
71      or end of line.
72
73    - In a `*alias` command.
74
75    - Diagnostic highlighting could continue into a comment.
76
77  + New `*cartesian` command which supports different orientations of
78    `cartesian` style data.
79
80  + Anonymous stations are now supported in `cartesian` style data.
81
82  + `*fix a reference` (without any coordinates) is now an error.  The
83    `reference` token provides a way to have a list of known fixed points which
84    are not expected to all be currently used, while omitting the coordinates
85    provides a way to specify a point to arbitrarily fix rather than rely on
86    cavern picking one.  Allowing both together doesn't really make sense.
87
88  + Improve check for 180° backclino to suppress the warning about a compass
89    reading on a plumbed leg (introduced in 1.4.8) to allow a small tolerance
90    on the value.  Previously the check wasn't working on x86 Linux for
91    example.
92
93  + When showing a line as the location of a diagnostic we now render any
94    tab character as a single space which means the `^~~~~` highlight length
95    is now correct even when the highlighted part contains tabs.  This only
96    affects use from a terminal as the highlight was already correctly handled
97    when viewing the log in aven.
98
99  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files:
100
101    - The `RECT=` option is now fully supported.
102
103    - Fix `#DATE` with an active `.REF` to act like `DECL=`.  This matches what
104      the documentation says and what Walls seems to actually do.  Thanks to
105      Erik C. Landgraf and Joe for spotting and analysing this issue.
106
107    - Allow completely omitting the clino on a wall shot (with `ORDER=DAV` or
108      `ORDER=ADV`).  Reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
109
110    - Resolve WPJ `.PATH` relative to innermost containing book.
111
112    - Handle an empty Walls station name.  Walls allows a station with an
113      explicit prefix to have an empty name, e.g. `PEP:`.  The Walls
114      documentation doesn't mention this, though it also doesn't explicitly say
115      the name can't be empty.  This quirk seems unlikely to be intentionally
116      used and Survex doesn't allow an empty station name, so we issue a
117      warning and use the name `empty name` (which has a space in, so can't
118      collide with a real Walls station name which can't contain a space) - so
119      `PEP:` in Walls becomes `PEP.empty name` in Survex.  Reported by Erik C.
120      Landgraf.
121
122    - Flag stations with explicit Walls prefix as exported.  Suggested by Eric
123      C. Landgraf.
124
125    - Fix setting empty Walls macro with a comment right after it.
126
127    - Walls quietly ignores junk after the numeric argument in `TYPEAB=`,
128      `TYPEVB=`, `UV=`, `UVH=`, and `UVV=`.  This seems to be an undocumented
129      feature/bug so Survex emits a warning and skips the junk.  Reported by
130      Eric C. Landgraf.
131
132    - After an unknown Walls option we now process the rest of the line.
133      Previously we were skipping the rest of the line.
134
135    - We no longer skip the rest of the line after a bad Walls `ORDER=` option.
136
137    - Correct the reported column for some Walls option diagnostics.
138
139    - Support explicit units on Walls clino readings.  Reported by Eric C.
140      Landgraf.
141
142    - Allow `#` in Walls station names.  This is explicitly documented as not
143      allowed, but the documentation doesn't match the implementation and `#`
144      is present in some real-world data.  Reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
145
146    - Improve handling of Walls `RESTORE` error.  Highlight the position in the
147      line and don't skip the rest of the line.
148
149    - Don't warn about `INCH=` with a zero argument since that's the one case
150      of it we do handle!
151
152    - Fix not to skip the rest of the line after Walls `INCH=` option.
153      We currently don't support `INCH=` so we warn about it, but we were
154      skipping the rest of the line, then trying to read and discard the
155      argument to `INCH=` which gave an error.  Reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
156
157    - Relax handling of Walls `CASE=`.  It's not documented, but Walls32.exe
158      quietly treats unknown values as "Mixed".  Reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
159
160    - Support DM and DMS format for latitude and longitude in Walls `#FIX`,
161      e.g. `W97:43.875` and `W97:43:52.5` .
162
163    - Treat a zero length leg with finite variance like a Survex `*equate`.
164
165    - Apply Walls variance overrides to survey legs.
166
167    - The optional instrument and target heights are now parsed, but their
168      values are currently ignored.
169
170    - The delimiters around LRUD data are now parsed, but the LRUD data between
171      them is currently ignored.
172
173    - If a `#SEGMENT` value looks like a set of Compass shot flags (i.e. consists
174      only of upper case characters from ``CLPSX``, optionally prefixed with a
175      `/` or `\`) then we interpret them as Compass shot flags (except that `X`
176      is mapped the same way as `L`).  This is apparently a common way to use
177      `#SEGMENT`, and unlikely to be triggered accidentally.
178
179* dump3d:
180
181
182* documentation:
183
184  + The manual has been converted from DocBook to reStructured Text.  The
185    plain-text format is much easier for making changes, and for users the
186    output from sphinx looks nicer and has extra features (like built-in
187    "Quick search" in the HTML output).
188
189    The plain text version of the manual is no longer generated.  Sphinx can
190    produce one but the .rst sources actually seem more readable for anyone
191    wanting to read the manual in plain text.
192
193    The extra targets to generate the manual in RTF and PostScript
194    have been dropped as I doubt they are still used (we stopped
195    providing them on the website years ago).  They could probably be
196    reinstated if there's a demand for them.
197
198  + The conversion was partly automated followed by a full pass over the
199    result fixing issues with the automated conversion.  We took the
200    opportunity to also review the content and update or remove out of
201    date and other incorrect information, and to reorder some of the content.
202
203  + Document PLT export.
204
205  + Minor improvements to --help output
206
207  + The HTML version of the 1.4.9 manual was missing the Walls chapter
208    and had messed up paging links around it (due to the new CMAP chapter
209    accidentally also being given the filename `walls.htm`).  Reported by Eric
210    C. Landgraf.
211
212  + Document we don't enforce Walls' station or prefix length limits.
213
214  + Document handling of Walls `#NOTE`.
215
216  + Fix documentation of Walls `FLAG=` which is correctly handled, not skipped.
217
218  + Document how to compare Walls and Survex output via Shapefile.
219
220  + Document how to suppress unused fixed point warning in Walls SRV.
221
222* img library:
223
224
225* Build system:
226
227* testsuite:
228
229  + Add testcase for Walls `#units order=da`.
230
231  + Add expected output for more testcases
232
233  + Add testcase for exporting .3d files.
234
235  + Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before comparing to avoid bogus
236    test failures due to excess precision on x86 when using 387 FP
237    instructions.
238
239  + Add test of DXF export with full coordinates.
240
241* translations:
242
243  + Diagnostics can now use positional arguments which sometimes allows a
244    more natural word order in the translation.
245
246Changes in 1.4.9 (2024-07-04):
247
248* aven:
249
250  + Support showing geodata overlays in Aven.  We use the GDAL library to load
251    the data, so this should work for any format which GDAL supports so long as
252    it can be read from the filing system and is geo-referenced vector data -
253    see https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html for a list.  Currently the
254    dialog to select a file defaults to showing GPX, KML, GeoJSON and shape
255    files - set the filter to "All Files" to chose other formats.
256
257  + Reimplement display of cavern output.  The old version turned the log into
258    HTML and displayed it using wxHtmlWindow, but that adds a lot of overhead
259    and is especially inefficient if there are many diagnostics - cavern could
260    finish almost instantly yet aven could take many seconds to process the
261    output.  The new version renders directly from the log data.  It should
262    have most of the features from before - the only missing feature I'm
263    currently aware of is that you can't now select and copy text from the log
264    window, which wxHtmlWindow provided for free.  If people miss this feature,
265    we could add it to the new implementation.
266
267  + (Microsoft Windows version): Clicks in the cavern log window which load
268    files into an editor now protect the filename if it starts with a dash
269    to prevent it being interpreted as a command line option.  We already
270    do this for other platforms, but weren't on Microsoft Windows on the
271    assumption that it isn't needed because the filenames will be fully
272    qualified, but that may not be the case if aven if run by hand from the
273    command line or from some other launcher.
274
275* cavern:
276
277  + Add support for processing Walls format survey data (.SRV and .WPJ files).
278    This support is somewhat experimental but at a point where it seems useful
279    to make it easier for people to try out.  See the manual for a list of
280    known shortcomings.  Thanks to Eric C. Landgraf for a lot of testing and
281    encouragement.
282
283  + Fix bug with Compass DAT diving data.  If a survey uses the depth gauge
284    then since 1.4.6 we set its style to "diving", but we weren't clearing that
285    so all surveys after than in the same DAT file were also set as "diving".
286
287  + When parsing of Compass DAT files we report errors in more cases if the
288    input doesn't conform to the format we expect, rather than potentially
289    quietly misinterpreting the data.
290
291  + *entrance now suppresses "Unused fixed point" warning.  This warning is
292    intended to catch typos, which is much less likely for a station named
293    twice.  It's also reasonable to use only *fix and *entrance on a station at
294    the entrance of an unsurveyed cave.
295
296  + Highlight plumbed clino readings fully in diagnostics.  Now the full reading
297    is highlighted instead of just the first character.
298
299  + Report location of previous fix after "already fixed" error/warning.
300
301  + Use "info" diagnostic category for "Originally entered here" message.  This
302    is more logical as the original *begin isn't something to be warned about,
303    only the reentering is.  This was only a warning before because we didn't
304    used to have "info" diagnostics.
305
306  + Use "info" diagnostic category for message about not reporting further
307    uses of a deprecated feature.  Previously this was a warning, but the newer
308    "info" category is more appropriate here.
309
310  + The message about inventing a fixed point is now an "info" diagnostic which
311    allows us to report a location which is where that station is defined,
312    which may be useful to the user.
313
314  + Make highlighting position in error reporting more robust.  We no longer
315    try to highIight if we calculate a negative column offset, when previously
316    we would print billions of spaces.  As far as I know this has never
317    happened in a released version.
318
319  + Error messages which report the program name now remove any ".exe" suffix.
320    This helps the testsuite by making the expected output the same
321    cross-platform, but also seems slightly nicer for users.
322
323* dump3d:
324
325  + The timestamp reported by DATE_NUMERIC is now printed portably.  Previously
326    we were assuming that a time_t is the same size as a long int, which is not
327    true on all platforms.
328
329* manual:
330
331  + (Microsoft Windows version): Update information about installation
332    with/without admin rights.
333
334  + Summarise support for reading CMAP data and its assumptions and
335    limitations.
336
337  + Mention Compass, Walls and CMAP support in the importing data howto
338    section.
339
340  + Drop mention of Rosetta Stal from the manual.  The referred to link from
341    our website was removed in 2015 because Rosetta Stal hadn't been updated
342    for 13.5 years at that point.  Now the domain it was available from has
343    lapsed and is a domain squatter "for sale" page.
344
345* img library:
346
347  + The coordinates in CMAP data are in feet but we were dividing rather
348    than multiplying by the conversion factor to get metres so all
349    coordinates were about 10.76 times too large.
350
351  + Stations in CMAP "station" variant XYZ files are now flagged as
352    underground (as they always have been for "shot" variant XYZ files).
353
354  + When reading CMAP XYZ files, we no longer emit duplicate img_LABEL for
355    stations in loops.
356
357  + A CMAP XYZ file without a survey title is now handled correctly (this was
358    reporting a bogus "Out of memory" error).
359
360  + The img.h header now defines constants IMG_VERSION_SURVEX_POS, etc for the
361    values reported in the version field for non-.3d formats.
362
363  + (Microsoft Windows version): Workaround limitation of Microsoft's C
364    library so we handle dates before 1970 in Compass PLT files, CMAP XYZ
365    files, and older format .3d files.  Previously these were reported
366    as "unknown date".
367
368* We now support overriding the location of support files by setting the
369  SURVEXLIB environment variable.  We no longer look at the srcdir
370  environment variable for this.
371
372* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created automatically
373  on Github actions, which has required a few changes.  It now packages a
374  64-bit build, and is created with Innosetup 6.3.2 which no longer supports
375  Vista.  The installer is also now significantly larger, which is mostly
376  because we now need to include a large number of DLLs, most of which are
377  dependencies of the mingw64 FFmpeg and GDAL packages.
378
379* (Microsoft Windows version): If the directory where we expect the PROJ
380  support files to be does not exist for some reason we now avoid triggering
381  a segmentation fault in PROJ.
382
383* Build system:
384
385  + The GDAL library is now required to build Survex.
386
387  + (Microsoft Windows version): The probe for GL and GLU libraries now also
388    checks for Microsoft's non-standard library names.
389
390  + Correct configure --help output for --enable-werror for which the default
391    is actually "no" rather than "maintainer-mode".
392
393* testsuite:
394
395  + aven.tst: Skip a testcase when running on mingw as it seems to hang there.
396    We already skip this testcase on macos for what appears to be the same
397    problem.
398
399  + Fix comparison of output to work on platforms using DOS line endings.
400
401Changes in 1.4.8 (2024-04-23):
402
403* cavern:
404
405  + The warning for a compass reading on a plumbed leg was already suppressed
406    for a compass or backcompass reading of 0, but is now also suppressed for a
407    backcompass of 180° (or equivalent) which seems to be common in some Compass
408    datasets, but also seems sensible generally.  Thanks to Simeon Warner for
409    sharing some data which triggered such warnings.
410
411  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name is now also
412    emitted in the case where a name was used first for a station, and then as
413    a survey on an explicitly prefixed name.  Closes
414    https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4, reported by Thomas Holder.
415
416  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name now highlights
417    the problematic name within the line shown for context.
418
419  + Fix the reported token string reported by some errors with readings.  This
420    happened to work on at least x86-64 Linux, but the code was invalid and
421    failed on some architectures.
422
423* Fix to build with newer FFmpeg versions.
424
425* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now offers the choice to install
426  for just the current user, which allows installing Survex without admin
427  rights.
428
429* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix problems with valid coordinate systems being
430  rejected and aven's cavern log window not showing output.  Reported by
431  Peter Mašič, Špela Borko, Răzvan Dumbravă and detrito.  Thanks especially to
432  Špela Borko for a lot of testing to help track down the cause.
433
434Changes in 1.4.7 (2024-04-07):
435
436* cavern:
437
438  + When using *declination auto we report the range of calculated declinations
439    for each location specified.  After doing this we now reset the range
440    information we're tracking.  Previously we'd misreport the range for
441    the second and subsequent locations.
442
443  + Avoid undefined behaviour on handling filename fallback for filenames
444    containing non-ASCII characters.
445
446  + Show context line with relevant item highlighted for more errors and
447    warnings.
448
449  + The dynamic string handling routines are now more efficient.
450
451  + Fix memory leak if a Compass MAK file opens folders it doesn't close.
452
453  + Fix handling of clino-less legs in Compass DAT.  These would cause cavern
454    to fail with a lot of "NaN" messages.  Now they're treated as having a zero
455    clino with a standard deviation based on the leg length, just like in .svx
456    files.
457
458* img library:
459
460  + Compass PLT: Treat LRUD readings > 900 as omitted readings, which matches
461    what Compass does.  Thanks to Larry Fish for clarifying this.
462
463  + Avoid undefined behaviour after realloc().  We were adjusting a pointer
464    within the reallocated block by subtracting the old block address and
465    adding on the new one.  Technically this is undefined behaviour, although
466    in practice it seems likely it'll work and we've not seen misbehaviour due
467    to it.  However it's easy to avoid by calculating the offset before the
468    realloc().
469
470* Portability:
471
472  + Provide prototype for getopt() to avoid warnings with very recent compiler
473    versions.
474
475  + Avoid using sprintf(), which now triggers warnings on some platforms.
476
477* Build system:
478
479  + Add configure --enable-werror option to turn compiler warnings into errors.
480
481* Manual:
482
483  + Expand details of Compass MAK CRS support.
484
485  + Replace very out of date information about binary RPM packages.
486
487* Minor translation updates.
488
489* (Microsoft Windows version): Now uses PROJ 9.3.0 and ships all of the
490  ancillary files that PROJ comes with.  Hoping this fixes use of coordinate
491  system EPSG:3912 failing, which was reported by Peter Mašič but I've not
492  managed to reproduce.
493
494Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-03-07):
495
496* cavern:
497
498  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
499    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
500    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
501    mailing list.
502
503  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
504    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
505    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
506    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
507
508  + When opening a file, cavern has fallback handling if the file isn't found
509    to help people processing datasets from platforms with case-insensitive
510    file systems.  Previously cavern would fold the filename to lowercase and
511    retry.  Now if this fails, it will also try the lower case version but
512    with the initial character of the leaf in upper case, and finally folding
513    the whole specified filename to upper case.
514
515  + Dynamically pick a suitable level separator character and store it in .3d
516    file, instead of it being hard-coded to '.' (we still use '.' unless it
517    has been *set as a "name" character, or for Compass DAT/MAK files unless it
518    has been used in a station name).  This is a step towards addressing the
519    situations raised by Thomas Holder in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4
520    and https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/5 .
521
522  + Compass DAT files:
523
524    - The shot flag S is now understood to indicate a splay.
525
526    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
527      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
528      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
529      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
530      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
531      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
532
533    - Surveys which indicate a depth gauge was used for azimuth readings are
534      now marked as STYLE_DIVING in the 3d file.
535
536    - Compass and clino corrections are now implemented for backsights.
537
538    - The tape correction in Compass DAT files is now handled correctly.  The
539      specified value is in feet, but cavern was incorrectly treating it as
540      being in metres.
541
542    - We now handle the newer 15 character "FORMAT:" encoding.  Previously
543      cavern wouldn't detect when there were backsights in this case.
544
545    - We now treat survey date January 1st 1901 as "no date specified" since
546      this is the date Compass stores in this situation, and it seems very
547      unlikely to occur in real data.
548
549    - In Compass DAT files a dummy zero-length leg from a station to itself is
550      used to provide a place to specify LRUD for the start or end of a
551      traverse (depending if dimensions are measured at the from or to
552      station), and so we no longer issue a warning about equating a station to
553      itself for DAT files.
554
555  + Compass MAK files:
556
557    - The base location command is now understood.  This is how Compass
558      specifies a location to calculate magnetic declination at, and we
559      now handle this like Survex's native "*declination auto X Y Z".
560
561    - Survex uses the specified UTM zone and datum provided the combination can
562      be expressed as an EPSG code (lack of any EPSG codes for a datum suggests
563      it's obsolete; lack of a code for a particular datum+zone combination
564      suggests the zone is outside of the defined area of use of the datum).
565      Example Compass files we've seen use "North American 1927" outside of
566      where it's defined for use, presumably because some users fail to change
567      the datum from Compass' default.  To enable reading such files we return
568      a PROJ4 string of the form "+proj=utm ..." for "North American 1927" and
569      "North American 1983" for UTM zones which don't have an EPSG code.
570      Please let us know if support for additional cases which aren't currently
571      supported would be useful to you.
572
573    - Folder commands are now understood.
574
575    - Flag fixed stations as entrances.  Experimentation with Compass shows
576      this is how it treats them ("distance from entrance" in a .DAT file
577      counts from 0 at these points).
578
579  + We now support reading Compass CLP files.  These are very like DAT files,
580    except they contain loop-closed data.  You might find this useful if you
581    want to keep existing stations at the same adjusted positions Compass gave
582    (for example to be able to draw extensions on an existing drawn-up survey),
583    or if the original DAT file has been lost but you still have the CLP file.
584
585* aven:
586
587  + Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
588    Philip Balister.
589
590  + Split the filters for DAT and MAK files in the File->Open drop down list.
591    It seems more likely you'd want to see one type or the other, not both
592    together.
593
594* aven/survexport:
595
596  + Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
597
598  + .json,.kml: Enable export of surface legs.  Currently surface and
599    underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats when both
600    are enabled.
601
602  + .3d: The coordinate system is now set.
603
604  + .svg: Equated stations now get their correct names in the id attribute
605    of <circle> tags.  Previously one of the names would be repeated for
606    all of a set of equated stations.
607
608  + .plt:
609
610    - Anonymous stations previously resulted in an empty name in the PLT
611      file.  This isn't explicitly disallowed by the PLT format description,
612      but Compass' viewer gives an error for such lines.  Now we invent names
613      by encoding the station coordinates which should be unique.
614
615    - The S shot flag is now set for splays, and the P shot flag (hide from
616      plotting) is set for surface legs (which matches the use suggested in the
617      Compass docs).
618
619* img library:
620
621  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
622    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
623    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
624    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
625    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
626    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
627    default).
628
629  + Improve Compass PLT support (many of these are Compass features added
630    since Survex's support for Compass was originally added):
631
632    - Survey dates are now handled fully.  We treat survey date January 1st
633      1901 as "no date specified" since this is the date Compass stores in this
634      situation, and it seems very unlikely to occur in real data.
635
636    - LRUD data is now translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END.
637
638    - We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE for stations where the "Distance From
639      Entrance" field is present and zero.
640
641    - The shot flag L is now translated to img_FLAG_DUPLICATE.
642
643    - The shot flag S is now translated to img_FLAG_SPLAY.  A station at the
644      far end of a shot flagged S gets img_SFLAG_WALL set since the Compass PLT
645      format specification says:
646
647          The shot is a "splay" shot, which is a shot from a station to the
648          wall to define the passage shape.
649
650    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
651      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
652      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
653      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
654      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
655      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
656
657    - The d plot command is now supported (previously img failed to parse
658      PLT files using this command) - it's like D but implies the P shot flag.
659
660    - If a PLT file only uses one datum and it is "WGS 1984" then the UTM zone
661      is converted to the appropriate EPSG code and this is reported as the
662      coordinate system.  Other datums could be handled, but the mapping to
663      EPSG code is less simple.  Also it seems Compass supports at least
664      24 datums but it doesn't document all the strings it uses for them.
665      Files with multiple datums could be handled too, but we'd need to convert
666      coordinates to a common coordinate system in the img library, which would
667      need it to depend on PROJ.  Please let us know if support for more and/or
668      mixed datums would be useful to you.
669
670    - Duplicate img_LABEL items are no longer returned - this used to happen
671      for stations where more than two shots met within a single survey.
672
673    - We now infer img_SFLAG_EXPORTED for any station that appears in more
674      than one survey in the PLT file.
675
676    - We now set flag img_SFLAG_FIXED for any station which is listed as
677      a fixed point in the PLT file.
678
679    - If there's only one non-empty section name in a PLT file and we aren't
680      filtering by survey, we now report that section name as the title.  If
681      there are multiple different non-empty section names, we still report the
682      basename of the file as before.  If we're filtering by survey, we report
683      the comment for that survey as before.
684
685    - Fix bug handling PLT with omitted LRUD.  The format specification
686      documents that LRUD may be omitted, though it seems Compass never
687      actually omits it and at least some versions of Compass failed to handle
688      it being omitted too.
689
690* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
691
692* manual:
693
694  + Document Compass support in detail.
695
696  + Improve NATO mils example.
697
698* INSTALL:
699
700  + Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by Andrew
701    Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
702
703  + Document the requirement for a C99 compiler for building from source.
704    We made this a requirement in 1.4.2, but only noted it in NEWS.
705
706* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
707
708* Replace references to "libav" with "FFmpeg" since the libav project seems to
709  now be defunct, and we've always supported using either.
710
711* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros and drop
712  probes for features that we can safely assume now we require a C99 compiler
713  and workarounds for obsolete platforms.
714
715* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
716
717Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
718
719* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
720
721* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
722  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
723
724* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
725
726* Minor translation updates.
727
728Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
729
730* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
731  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
732
733* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
734  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
735  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
736  checks that were rejecting this.
737
738  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
739  really do that's better than that.
740
741  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
742
743* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
744  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
745  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
746  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
747  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
748
749* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
750  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
751
752* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
753  bearing spin control.
754
755* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
756  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
757  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
758  currently but please report issues.
759
760* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
761  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
762  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
763  position".
764
765* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
766  Reported by echarlie
767
768* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
769
770Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
771
772* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
773
774* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
775  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
776
777* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
778  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
779
780* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
781  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
782
783* Minor translation updates.
784
785* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
786  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
787  works on Wayland).
788
789* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
790  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
791
792* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
793
794* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
795  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
796  Requested by Martin Budaj.
797
798Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
799
800* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
801
802* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
803
804* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
805  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
806
807* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
808  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
809  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
810  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
811
812* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
813  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
814  Patch from Thomas Holder.
815
816* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
817  string properly.
818
819* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
820  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
821  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
822  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
823  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
824  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
825  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
826
827* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
828  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
829
830  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
831
832* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
833  where the included filename is actually specified.
834
835* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
836  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
837
838* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
839  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
840  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
841
842* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
843  running on the Continuous Integration system.
844
845* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
846  newer version of Innosetup.  This means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the
847  minimum supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support
848  anyway.
849
850* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
851  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
852
853* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
854
855* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
856  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
857  inconvenience anyone.
858
859Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
860
861* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
862
863* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
864  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
865  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
866  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
867
868* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
869  in 1.4.0.
870
871* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
872
873Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
874
875* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
876  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
877  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
878  Couwenberg.
879
880  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
881  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
882  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
883  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
884
885  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
886  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
887
888* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
889  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
890  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
891
892* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
893  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
894  strings is strongly discouraged.
895
896  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
897
898  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
899
900  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
901  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
902
903* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
904  Green.
905
906* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
907  echarlie.
908
909* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
910  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
911  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
912
913* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
914
915* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
916
917* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
918
919* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
920
921* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
922  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
923  stations not attached to a fixed point.
924
925Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
926
927* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
928  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
929  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
930  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
931  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
932
933* aven:
934
935  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
936    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
937    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
938    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
939    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
940    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
941
942* testsuite:
943
944  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
945    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
946    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
947    process exits.
948
949* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
950
951Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
952
953* aven:
954
955  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
956
957* cavern:
958
959  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
960
961  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
962    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
963    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
964
965  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
966    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
967    until the next *data command with parameters.
968
969  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
970    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
971
972  * Improve test coverage.
973
974* survexport:
975
976  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
977    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
978
979  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
980    Batista.
981
982* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
983  Holder.
984
985* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
986  from Thomas Holder.
987
988* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
989  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
990
991* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
992
993* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
994
995* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
996
997* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
998
999* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen

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