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