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 all the statistics in the `.err` file
204
205  + Document PLT export.
206
207  + Minor improvements to --help output
208
209  + The HTML version of the 1.4.9 manual was missing the Walls chapter
210    and had messed up paging links around it (due to the new CMAP chapter
211    accidentally also being given the filename `walls.htm`).  Reported by Eric
212    C. Landgraf.
213
214  + Document we don't enforce Walls' station or prefix length limits.
215
216  + Document handling of Walls `#NOTE`.
217
218  + Fix documentation of Walls `FLAG=` which is correctly handled, not skipped.
219
220  + Document how to compare Walls and Survex output via Shapefile.
221
222  + Document how to suppress unused fixed point warning in Walls SRV.
223
224* img library:
225
226
227* Build system:
228
229* testsuite:
230
231  + Add testcase for Walls `#units order=da`.
232
233  + Add expected output for more testcases
234
235  + Add testcase for exporting .3d files.
236
237  + Normalise `-0.00` to `0.00` in DXF output before comparing to avoid bogus
238    test failures due to excess precision on x86 when using 387 FP
239    instructions.
240
241  + Add test of DXF export with full coordinates.
242
243* translations:
244
245  + Diagnostics can now use positional arguments which sometimes allows a
246    more natural word order in the translation.
247
248Changes in 1.4.9 (2024-07-04):
249
250* aven:
251
252  + Support showing geodata overlays in Aven.  We use the GDAL library to load
253    the data, so this should work for any format which GDAL supports so long as
254    it can be read from the filing system and is geo-referenced vector data -
255    see https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html for a list.  Currently the
256    dialog to select a file defaults to showing GPX, KML, GeoJSON and shape
257    files - set the filter to "All Files" to chose other formats.
258
259  + Reimplement display of cavern output.  The old version turned the log into
260    HTML and displayed it using wxHtmlWindow, but that adds a lot of overhead
261    and is especially inefficient if there are many diagnostics - cavern could
262    finish almost instantly yet aven could take many seconds to process the
263    output.  The new version renders directly from the log data.  It should
264    have most of the features from before - the only missing feature I'm
265    currently aware of is that you can't now select and copy text from the log
266    window, which wxHtmlWindow provided for free.  If people miss this feature,
267    we could add it to the new implementation.
268
269  + (Microsoft Windows version): Clicks in the cavern log window which load
270    files into an editor now protect the filename if it starts with a dash
271    to prevent it being interpreted as a command line option.  We already
272    do this for other platforms, but weren't on Microsoft Windows on the
273    assumption that it isn't needed because the filenames will be fully
274    qualified, but that may not be the case if aven if run by hand from the
275    command line or from some other launcher.
276
277* cavern:
278
279  + Add support for processing Walls format survey data (.SRV and .WPJ files).
280    This support is somewhat experimental but at a point where it seems useful
281    to make it easier for people to try out.  See the manual for a list of
282    known shortcomings.  Thanks to Eric C. Landgraf for a lot of testing and
283    encouragement.
284
285  + Fix bug with Compass DAT diving data.  If a survey uses the depth gauge
286    then since 1.4.6 we set its style to "diving", but we weren't clearing that
287    so all surveys after than in the same DAT file were also set as "diving".
288
289  + When parsing of Compass DAT files we report errors in more cases if the
290    input doesn't conform to the format we expect, rather than potentially
291    quietly misinterpreting the data.
292
293  + *entrance now suppresses "Unused fixed point" warning.  This warning is
294    intended to catch typos, which is much less likely for a station named
295    twice.  It's also reasonable to use only *fix and *entrance on a station at
296    the entrance of an unsurveyed cave.
297
298  + Highlight plumbed clino readings fully in diagnostics.  Now the full reading
299    is highlighted instead of just the first character.
300
301  + Report location of previous fix after "already fixed" error/warning.
302
303  + Use "info" diagnostic category for "Originally entered here" message.  This
304    is more logical as the original *begin isn't something to be warned about,
305    only the reentering is.  This was only a warning before because we didn't
306    used to have "info" diagnostics.
307
308  + Use "info" diagnostic category for message about not reporting further
309    uses of a deprecated feature.  Previously this was a warning, but the newer
310    "info" category is more appropriate here.
311
312  + The message about inventing a fixed point is now an "info" diagnostic which
313    allows us to report a location which is where that station is defined,
314    which may be useful to the user.
315
316  + Make highlighting position in error reporting more robust.  We no longer
317    try to highIight if we calculate a negative column offset, when previously
318    we would print billions of spaces.  As far as I know this has never
319    happened in a released version.
320
321  + Error messages which report the program name now remove any ".exe" suffix.
322    This helps the testsuite by making the expected output the same
323    cross-platform, but also seems slightly nicer for users.
324
325* dump3d:
326
327  + The timestamp reported by DATE_NUMERIC is now printed portably.  Previously
328    we were assuming that a time_t is the same size as a long int, which is not
329    true on all platforms.
330
331* manual:
332
333  + (Microsoft Windows version): Update information about installation
334    with/without admin rights.
335
336  + Summarise support for reading CMAP data and its assumptions and
337    limitations.
338
339  + Mention Compass, Walls and CMAP support in the importing data howto
340    section.
341
342  + Drop mention of Rosetta Stal from the manual.  The referred to link from
343    our website was removed in 2015 because Rosetta Stal hadn't been updated
344    for 13.5 years at that point.  Now the domain it was available from has
345    lapsed and is a domain squatter "for sale" page.
346
347* img library:
348
349  + The coordinates in CMAP data are in feet but we were dividing rather
350    than multiplying by the conversion factor to get metres so all
351    coordinates were about 10.76 times too large.
352
353  + Stations in CMAP "station" variant XYZ files are now flagged as
354    underground (as they always have been for "shot" variant XYZ files).
355
356  + When reading CMAP XYZ files, we no longer emit duplicate img_LABEL for
357    stations in loops.
358
359  + A CMAP XYZ file without a survey title is now handled correctly (this was
360    reporting a bogus "Out of memory" error).
361
362  + The img.h header now defines constants IMG_VERSION_SURVEX_POS, etc for the
363    values reported in the version field for non-.3d formats.
364
365  + (Microsoft Windows version): Workaround limitation of Microsoft's C
366    library so we handle dates before 1970 in Compass PLT files, CMAP XYZ
367    files, and older format .3d files.  Previously these were reported
368    as "unknown date".
369
370* We now support overriding the location of support files by setting the
371  SURVEXLIB environment variable.  We no longer look at the srcdir
372  environment variable for this.
373
374* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created automatically
375  on Github actions, which has required a few changes.  It now packages a
376  64-bit build, and is created with Innosetup 6.3.2 which no longer supports
377  Vista.  The installer is also now significantly larger, which is mostly
378  because we now need to include a large number of DLLs, most of which are
379  dependencies of the mingw64 FFmpeg and GDAL packages.
380
381* (Microsoft Windows version): If the directory where we expect the PROJ
382  support files to be does not exist for some reason we now avoid triggering
383  a segmentation fault in PROJ.
384
385* Build system:
386
387  + The GDAL library is now required to build Survex.
388
389  + (Microsoft Windows version): The probe for GL and GLU libraries now also
390    checks for Microsoft's non-standard library names.
391
392  + Correct configure --help output for --enable-werror for which the default
393    is actually "no" rather than "maintainer-mode".
394
395* testsuite:
396
397  + aven.tst: Skip a testcase when running on mingw as it seems to hang there.
398    We already skip this testcase on macos for what appears to be the same
399    problem.
400
401  + Fix comparison of output to work on platforms using DOS line endings.
402
403Changes in 1.4.8 (2024-04-23):
404
405* cavern:
406
407  + The warning for a compass reading on a plumbed leg was already suppressed
408    for a compass or backcompass reading of 0, but is now also suppressed for a
409    backcompass of 180° (or equivalent) which seems to be common in some Compass
410    datasets, but also seems sensible generally.  Thanks to Simeon Warner for
411    sharing some data which triggered such warnings.
412
413  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name is now also
414    emitted in the case where a name was used first for a station, and then as
415    a survey on an explicitly prefixed name.  Closes
416    https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4, reported by Thomas Holder.
417
418  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name now highlights
419    the problematic name within the line shown for context.
420
421  + Fix the reported token string reported by some errors with readings.  This
422    happened to work on at least x86-64 Linux, but the code was invalid and
423    failed on some architectures.
424
425* Fix to build with newer FFmpeg versions.
426
427* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now offers the choice to install
428  for just the current user, which allows installing Survex without admin
429  rights.
430
431* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix problems with valid coordinate systems being
432  rejected and aven's cavern log window not showing output.  Reported by
433  Peter Mašič, Špela Borko, Răzvan Dumbravă and detrito.  Thanks especially to
434  Špela Borko for a lot of testing to help track down the cause.
435
436Changes in 1.4.7 (2024-04-07):
437
438* cavern:
439
440  + When using *declination auto we report the range of calculated declinations
441    for each location specified.  After doing this we now reset the range
442    information we're tracking.  Previously we'd misreport the range for
443    the second and subsequent locations.
444
445  + Avoid undefined behaviour on handling filename fallback for filenames
446    containing non-ASCII characters.
447
448  + Show context line with relevant item highlighted for more errors and
449    warnings.
450
451  + The dynamic string handling routines are now more efficient.
452
453  + Fix memory leak if a Compass MAK file opens folders it doesn't close.
454
455  + Fix handling of clino-less legs in Compass DAT.  These would cause cavern
456    to fail with a lot of "NaN" messages.  Now they're treated as having a zero
457    clino with a standard deviation based on the leg length, just like in .svx
458    files.
459
460* img library:
461
462  + Compass PLT: Treat LRUD readings > 900 as omitted readings, which matches
463    what Compass does.  Thanks to Larry Fish for clarifying this.
464
465  + Avoid undefined behaviour after realloc().  We were adjusting a pointer
466    within the reallocated block by subtracting the old block address and
467    adding on the new one.  Technically this is undefined behaviour, although
468    in practice it seems likely it'll work and we've not seen misbehaviour due
469    to it.  However it's easy to avoid by calculating the offset before the
470    realloc().
471
472* Portability:
473
474  + Provide prototype for getopt() to avoid warnings with very recent compiler
475    versions.
476
477  + Avoid using sprintf(), which now triggers warnings on some platforms.
478
479* Build system:
480
481  + Add configure --enable-werror option to turn compiler warnings into errors.
482
483* Manual:
484
485  + Expand details of Compass MAK CRS support.
486
487  + Replace very out of date information about binary RPM packages.
488
489* Minor translation updates.
490
491* (Microsoft Windows version): Now uses PROJ 9.3.0 and ships all of the
492  ancillary files that PROJ comes with.  Hoping this fixes use of coordinate
493  system EPSG:3912 failing, which was reported by Peter Mašič but I've not
494  managed to reproduce.
495
496Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-03-07):
497
498* cavern:
499
500  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
501    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
502    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
503    mailing list.
504
505  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
506    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
507    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
508    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
509
510  + When opening a file, cavern has fallback handling if the file isn't found
511    to help people processing datasets from platforms with case-insensitive
512    file systems.  Previously cavern would fold the filename to lowercase and
513    retry.  Now if this fails, it will also try the lower case version but
514    with the initial character of the leaf in upper case, and finally folding
515    the whole specified filename to upper case.
516
517  + Dynamically pick a suitable level separator character and store it in .3d
518    file, instead of it being hard-coded to '.' (we still use '.' unless it
519    has been *set as a "name" character, or for Compass DAT/MAK files unless it
520    has been used in a station name).  This is a step towards addressing the
521    situations raised by Thomas Holder in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4
522    and https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/5 .
523
524  + Compass DAT files:
525
526    - The shot flag S is now understood to indicate a splay.
527
528    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
529      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
530      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
531      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
532      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
533      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
534
535    - Surveys which indicate a depth gauge was used for azimuth readings are
536      now marked as STYLE_DIVING in the 3d file.
537
538    - Compass and clino corrections are now implemented for backsights.
539
540    - The tape correction in Compass DAT files is now handled correctly.  The
541      specified value is in feet, but cavern was incorrectly treating it as
542      being in metres.
543
544    - We now handle the newer 15 character "FORMAT:" encoding.  Previously
545      cavern wouldn't detect when there were backsights in this case.
546
547    - We now treat survey date January 1st 1901 as "no date specified" since
548      this is the date Compass stores in this situation, and it seems very
549      unlikely to occur in real data.
550
551    - In Compass DAT files a dummy zero-length leg from a station to itself is
552      used to provide a place to specify LRUD for the start or end of a
553      traverse (depending if dimensions are measured at the from or to
554      station), and so we no longer issue a warning about equating a station to
555      itself for DAT files.
556
557  + Compass MAK files:
558
559    - The base location command is now understood.  This is how Compass
560      specifies a location to calculate magnetic declination at, and we
561      now handle this like Survex's native "*declination auto X Y Z".
562
563    - Survex uses the specified UTM zone and datum provided the combination can
564      be expressed as an EPSG code (lack of any EPSG codes for a datum suggests
565      it's obsolete; lack of a code for a particular datum+zone combination
566      suggests the zone is outside of the defined area of use of the datum).
567      Example Compass files we've seen use "North American 1927" outside of
568      where it's defined for use, presumably because some users fail to change
569      the datum from Compass' default.  To enable reading such files we return
570      a PROJ4 string of the form "+proj=utm ..." for "North American 1927" and
571      "North American 1983" for UTM zones which don't have an EPSG code.
572      Please let us know if support for additional cases which aren't currently
573      supported would be useful to you.
574
575    - Folder commands are now understood.
576
577    - Flag fixed stations as entrances.  Experimentation with Compass shows
578      this is how it treats them ("distance from entrance" in a .DAT file
579      counts from 0 at these points).
580
581  + We now support reading Compass CLP files.  These are very like DAT files,
582    except they contain loop-closed data.  You might find this useful if you
583    want to keep existing stations at the same adjusted positions Compass gave
584    (for example to be able to draw extensions on an existing drawn-up survey),
585    or if the original DAT file has been lost but you still have the CLP file.
586
587* aven:
588
589  + Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
590    Philip Balister.
591
592  + Split the filters for DAT and MAK files in the File->Open drop down list.
593    It seems more likely you'd want to see one type or the other, not both
594    together.
595
596* aven/survexport:
597
598  + Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
599
600  + .json,.kml: Enable export of surface legs.  Currently surface and
601    underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats when both
602    are enabled.
603
604  + .3d: The coordinate system is now set.
605
606  + .svg: Equated stations now get their correct names in the id attribute
607    of <circle> tags.  Previously one of the names would be repeated for
608    all of a set of equated stations.
609
610  + .plt:
611
612    - Anonymous stations previously resulted in an empty name in the PLT
613      file.  This isn't explicitly disallowed by the PLT format description,
614      but Compass' viewer gives an error for such lines.  Now we invent names
615      by encoding the station coordinates which should be unique.
616
617    - The S shot flag is now set for splays, and the P shot flag (hide from
618      plotting) is set for surface legs (which matches the use suggested in the
619      Compass docs).
620
621* img library:
622
623  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
624    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
625    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
626    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
627    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
628    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
629    default).
630
631  + Improve Compass PLT support (many of these are Compass features added
632    since Survex's support for Compass was originally added):
633
634    - Survey dates are now handled fully.  We treat survey date January 1st
635      1901 as "no date specified" since this is the date Compass stores in this
636      situation, and it seems very unlikely to occur in real data.
637
638    - LRUD data is now translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END.
639
640    - We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE for stations where the "Distance From
641      Entrance" field is present and zero.
642
643    - The shot flag L is now translated to img_FLAG_DUPLICATE.
644
645    - The shot flag S is now translated to img_FLAG_SPLAY.  A station at the
646      far end of a shot flagged S gets img_SFLAG_WALL set since the Compass PLT
647      format specification says:
648
649          The shot is a "splay" shot, which is a shot from a station to the
650          wall to define the passage shape.
651
652    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
653      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
654      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
655      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
656      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
657      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
658
659    - The d plot command is now supported (previously img failed to parse
660      PLT files using this command) - it's like D but implies the P shot flag.
661
662    - If a PLT file only uses one datum and it is "WGS 1984" then the UTM zone
663      is converted to the appropriate EPSG code and this is reported as the
664      coordinate system.  Other datums could be handled, but the mapping to
665      EPSG code is less simple.  Also it seems Compass supports at least
666      24 datums but it doesn't document all the strings it uses for them.
667      Files with multiple datums could be handled too, but we'd need to convert
668      coordinates to a common coordinate system in the img library, which would
669      need it to depend on PROJ.  Please let us know if support for more and/or
670      mixed datums would be useful to you.
671
672    - Duplicate img_LABEL items are no longer returned - this used to happen
673      for stations where more than two shots met within a single survey.
674
675    - We now infer img_SFLAG_EXPORTED for any station that appears in more
676      than one survey in the PLT file.
677
678    - We now set flag img_SFLAG_FIXED for any station which is listed as
679      a fixed point in the PLT file.
680
681    - If there's only one non-empty section name in a PLT file and we aren't
682      filtering by survey, we now report that section name as the title.  If
683      there are multiple different non-empty section names, we still report the
684      basename of the file as before.  If we're filtering by survey, we report
685      the comment for that survey as before.
686
687    - Fix bug handling PLT with omitted LRUD.  The format specification
688      documents that LRUD may be omitted, though it seems Compass never
689      actually omits it and at least some versions of Compass failed to handle
690      it being omitted too.
691
692* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
693
694* manual:
695
696  + Document Compass support in detail.
697
698  + Improve NATO mils example.
699
700* INSTALL:
701
702  + Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by Andrew
703    Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
704
705  + Document the requirement for a C99 compiler for building from source.
706    We made this a requirement in 1.4.2, but only noted it in NEWS.
707
708* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
709
710* Replace references to "libav" with "FFmpeg" since the libav project seems to
711  now be defunct, and we've always supported using either.
712
713* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros and drop
714  probes for features that we can safely assume now we require a C99 compiler
715  and workarounds for obsolete platforms.
716
717* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
718
719Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
720
721* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
722
723* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
724  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
725
726* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
727
728* Minor translation updates.
729
730Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
731
732* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
733  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
734
735* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
736  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
737  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
738  checks that were rejecting this.
739
740  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
741  really do that's better than that.
742
743  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
744
745* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
746  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
747  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
748  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
749  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
750
751* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
752  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
753
754* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
755  bearing spin control.
756
757* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
758  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
759  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
760  currently but please report issues.
761
762* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
763  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
764  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
765  position".
766
767* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
768  Reported by echarlie
769
770* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
771
772Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
773
774* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
775
776* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
777  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
778
779* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
780  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
781
782* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
783  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
784
785* Minor translation updates.
786
787* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
788  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
789  works on Wayland).
790
791* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
792  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
793
794* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
795
796* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
797  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
798  Requested by Martin Budaj.
799
800Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
801
802* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
803
804* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
805
806* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
807  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
808
809* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
810  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
811  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
812  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
813
814* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
815  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
816  Patch from Thomas Holder.
817
818* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
819  string properly.
820
821* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
822  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
823  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
824  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
825  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
826  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
827  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
828
829* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
830  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
831
832  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
833
834* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
835  where the included filename is actually specified.
836
837* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
838  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
839
840* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
841  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
842  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
843
844* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
845  running on the Continuous Integration system.
846
847* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
848  newer version of Innosetup.  This means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the
849  minimum supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support
850  anyway.
851
852* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
853  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
854
855* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
856
857* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
858  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
859  inconvenience anyone.
860
861Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
862
863* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
864
865* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
866  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
867  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
868  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
869
870* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
871  in 1.4.0.
872
873* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
874
875Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
876
877* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
878  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
879  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
880  Couwenberg.
881
882  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
883  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
884  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
885  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
886
887  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
888  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
889
890* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
891  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
892  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
893
894* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
895  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
896  strings is strongly discouraged.
897
898  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
899
900  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
901
902  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
903  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
904
905* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
906  Green.
907
908* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
909  echarlie.
910
911* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
912  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
913  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
914
915* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
916
917* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
918
919* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
920
921* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
922
923* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
924  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
925  stations not attached to a fixed point.
926
927Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
928
929* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
930  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
931  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
932  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
933  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
934
935* aven:
936
937  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
938    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
939    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
940    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
941    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
942    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
943
944* testsuite:
945
946  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
947    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
948    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
949    process exits.
950
951* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
952
953Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
954
955* aven:
956
957  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
958
959* cavern:
960
961  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
962
963  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
964    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
965    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
966
967  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
968    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
969    until the next *data command with parameters.
970
971  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
972    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
973
974  * Improve test coverage.
975
976* survexport:
977
978  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
979    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
980
981  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
982    Batista.
983
984* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
985  Holder.
986
987* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
988  from Thomas Holder.
989
990* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
991  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
992
993* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
994
995* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
996
997* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
998
999* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
1000
1001* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
1002
1003Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
1004
1005* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
1006  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
1007  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
1008
1009* aven:
1010
1011  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
1012    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
1013    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
1014
1015  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
1016    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
1017    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
1018    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
1019
1020  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
1021    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
1022    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
1023
1024  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
1025
1026Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
1027
1028* aven:
1029
1030  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
1031
1032  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
1033    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
1034    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
1035
1036  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
1037    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
1038    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
1039    orientation.
1040
1041* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
1042  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
1043  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
1044  Richard Knapp.
1045
1046* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
1047  might still need to use them for.
1048
1049* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
1050
1051* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
1052
1053* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
1054  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
1055  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
1056  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
1057
1058* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
1059  is now the recommended approach.
1060
1061Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
1062
1063* aven:
1064
1065  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1066    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
1067    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
1068    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
1069    Brian Clipstone.
1070
1071  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
1072    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
1073
1074Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
1075
1076* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
1077  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
1078  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
1079
1080* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
1081  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
1082  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
1083  with some compilers.
1084
1085* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
1086  installed.
1087
1088Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
1089
1090* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
1091  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
1092  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
1093
1094* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
1095  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
1096  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
1097
1098* aven:
1099
1100  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
1101    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
1102    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
1103    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
1104    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
1105    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
1106    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
1107    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
1108    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
1109    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
1110    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
1111
1112  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
1113
1114* Documentation:
1115
1116  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
1117
1118  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
1119    placeholder.
1120
1121  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
1122    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
1123
1124* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
1125  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
1126  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
1127
1128* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
1129  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
1130  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
1131  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
1132  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
1133  location to avoid confusion.
1134
1135* Add a few more message translations.
1136
1137* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
1138
1139Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
1140
1141* cavern:
1142
1143  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
1144    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
1145    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
1146    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
1147    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
1148
1149  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
1150    now reports "file not found" instead.
1151
1152  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
1153    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
1154    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
1155
1156* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
1157
1158* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
1159  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
1160  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
1161  removed.
1162
1163* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
1164  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
1165  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
1166  information.  Patch from James Begley.
1167
1168Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
1169
1170* aven:
1171
1172  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
1173    controllable.
1174
1175  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1176
1177  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
1178    Patch from Robert Jones.
1179
1180  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
1181    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
1182    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
1183
1184  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
1185    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
1186
1187* cavern:
1188
1189  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
1190    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
1191
1192  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
1193    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
1194    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
1195    go unnoticed.
1196
1197* survexport:
1198
1199  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
1200    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
1201    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
1202
1203  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
1204    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
1205    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
1206    Stephen Crabtree.
1207
1208* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1209
1210* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
1211  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
1212
1213* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
1214  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
1215  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
1216  therion's team command.
1217
1218Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
1219
1220* aven:
1221
1222  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
1223
1224  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
1225    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
1226    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
1227    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
1228    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
1229    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
1230    for new entrances.
1231
1232  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
1233    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
1234    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
1235    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
1236
1237  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
1238
1239  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
1240    to show via the right-click menu.
1241
1242  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
1243    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
1244    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
1245    child surveys of the parent.
1246
1247  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
1248    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
1249    survey.
1250
1251  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
1252    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
1253
1254  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
1255
1256  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
1257    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
1258
1259  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
1260    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
1261    filtering this matters more).
1262
1263* survexport:
1264
1265  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
1266    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
1267
1268  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
1269
1270* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
1271
1272* Minor translation updates.
1273
1274* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
1275
1276* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
1277
1278* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
1279
1280Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
1281
1282* aven:
1283
1284  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
1285    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
1286    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
1287    on screen, printed and exported.
1288
1289  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
1290    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
1291    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
1292    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
1293    survey.
1294
1295  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
1296    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
1297    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
1298    view.  Reported by Wookey.
1299
1300  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
1301    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
1302    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
1303
1304  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
1305    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
1306
1307  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
1308    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
1309
1310  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
1311    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
1312
1313  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
1314    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
1315
1316  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
1317    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
1318
1319* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
1320  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
1321  tools could do, plus much more.
1322
1323* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
1324
1325* Minor updates to various other translations.
1326
1327* img library:
1328
1329  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
1330
1331  + Improve API documentation.
1332
1333* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
1334  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
1335  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
1336
1337* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
1338  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
1339  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
1340  control what gets exported.
1341
1342Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
1343
1344* aven:
1345
1346  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1347    of 1.2.33.
1348
1349  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
1350
1351Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
1352
1353* aven:
1354
1355  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
1356    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
1357    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
1358    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
1359
1360  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
1361    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
1362    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
1363    Erin Lynch.
1364
1365  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
1366    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
1367    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
1368
1369  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
1370    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
1371    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
1372    unnecessarily.
1373
1374  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
1375    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
1376    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
1377    for this control).
1378
1379  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
1380    under GTK3.
1381
1382  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
1383    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
1384    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
1385
1386  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
1387    current development version).
1388
1389  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
1390    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
1391    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
1392
1393* cavern:
1394
1395  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
1396    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
1397    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
1398    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
1399    "19".
1400
1401* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
1402  Evaristo Quiroga.
1403
1404* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1405
1406* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
1407  milosch.
1408
1409* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
1410  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
1411  translated messages.
1412
1413* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
1414  Indonesian and Polish.
1415
1416* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
1417  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
1418  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1419
1420* Fix a few compiler warnings.
1421
1422* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
1423  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
1424  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
1425
1426* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
1427
1428  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
1429    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
1430    but happens to fail if it isn't.
1431
1432  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
1433
1434  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
1435
1436  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
1437
1438* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
1439  detected at run time on macOS.
1440
1441* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
1442  by the homebrew formula.
1443
1444* buildmacosx.sh:
1445
1446  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
1447    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
1448
1449  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
1450
1451* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
1452  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
1453
1454Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
1455
1456* aven:
1457
1458  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
1459    and Anthony Day.
1460
1461  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
1462    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
1463    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1464    Erin Lynch in #89.
1465
1466  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
1467    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
1468    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
1469    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
1470    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
1471    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
1472    elevations.
1473
1474  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
1475    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
1476    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
1477
1478  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
1479    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
1480    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
1481    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
1482    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
1483    "on".
1484
1485  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
1486    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
1487
1488  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
1489    the display wouldn't update right away.
1490
1491* Manual:
1492
1493  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
1494
1495  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
1496
1497* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
1498  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
1499  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
1500  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
1501  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
1502
1503Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
1504
1505* aven:
1506
1507  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
1508    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
1509    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
1510
1511  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
1512    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
1513    before by others.
1514
1515  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
1516
1517  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
1518    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
1519    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
1520    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
1521    original change.
1522
1523  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
1524    which extends beyond the end of the line).
1525
1526  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
1527    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
1528
1529  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
1530
1531  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
1532
1533  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
1534    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
1535    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
1536    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
1537    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
1538    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
1539    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
1540
1541  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
1542    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
1543
1544  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
1545    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
1546    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
1547
1548  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
1549    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
1550    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
1551    much vertical range.
1552
1553  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
1554    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
1555    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
1556    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
1557    are drawn in this way.
1558
1559  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
1560    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
1561    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
1562    centre should be a single pixel.
1563
1564* cavern:
1565
1566  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
1567    entering passage data where there are side passages.
1568
1569  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
1570    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
1571
1572  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
1573    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
1574    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
1575    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
1576
1577  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
1578    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
1579    Reported by Erin Lynch.
1580
1581  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
1582    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
1583    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
1584    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
1585
1586  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
1587    other messages.
1588
1589* extend:
1590
1591  + Now runs a bit faster.
1592
1593  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
1594    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
1595    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
1596    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
1597    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
1598    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
1599    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
1600    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
1601    be handled better) most welcome.
1602
1603* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
1604
1605* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
1606
1607* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
1608  translations from therion.
1609
1610* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
1611  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
1612
1613* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
1614  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
1615  Footleg.
1616
1617* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
1618
1619* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
1620
1621Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
1622
1623* aven:
1624
1625  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
1626    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1627
1628  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
1629    Suggested by detrito.
1630
1631  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
1632    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
1633
1634  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
1635    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
1636
1637* Add man page for dump3d.
1638
1639Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
1640
1641* aven:
1642
1643  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
1644    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
1645
1646  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
1647    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1648
1649* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
1650  Lynch and "detrito".
1651
1652* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
1653  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
1654
1655Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
1656
1657* cavern:
1658
1659  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
1660    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
1661    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
1662    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
1663    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
1664
1665  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
1666
1667  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
1668
1669  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
1670    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
1671    degrees).
1672
1673* aven:
1674
1675  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
1676    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
1677    Day.
1678
1679  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
1680    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1681
1682  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
1683    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
1684
1685  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
1686    of the line in cavern log window.
1687
1688  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1689
1690  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1691
1692  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
1693    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
1694    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
1695    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
1696    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
1697
1698  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
1699    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
1700    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
1701
1702  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
1703
1704  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
1705
1706  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
1707    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
1708    Atkinson and myself.
1709
1710  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
1711
1712  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
1713    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
1714    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
1715    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
1716    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
1717    survey.
1718
1719  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
1720    lines on my netbook.
1721
1722  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
1723    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
1724    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
1725
1726  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
1727    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
1728    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
1729    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
1730    glitches.
1731
1732  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
1733    we currently list, though slower to write.
1734
1735  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
1736    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
1737
1738  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
1739    warnings when building against a recent version.
1740
1741  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
1742    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
1743    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
1744    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
1745
1746  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
1747    movie export.
1748
1749  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
1750    export.
1751
1752* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1753  James Begley.
1754
1755* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
1756  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
1757
1758* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
1759
1760* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
1761  messages get used automatically.
1762
1763* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
1764  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
1765
1766* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
1767
1768* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
1769
1770* Use https for more URLs which support it.
1771
1772Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
1773
1774* aven:
1775
1776  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
1777    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
1778    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
1779    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
1780    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
1781    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
1782    probably change in the future).
1783
1784  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
1785    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
1786    the survey tree root.
1787
1788  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
1789    the view was recentred).
1790
1791  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
1792    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
1793    wrong direction).
1794
1795  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
1796    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
1797    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
1798
1799  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
1800    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
1801    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
1802    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
1803
1804  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
1805    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
1806
1807  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
1808    addresses #60.
1809
1810  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
1811
1812  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
1813    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
1814    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
1815
1816  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
1817
1818  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
1819    360 or down past 0.
1820
1821  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
1822    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
1823    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
1824    real-valued ones.
1825
1826  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
1827    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
1828
1829  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
1830    Lynch.
1831
1832  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
1833
1834  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
1835    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
1836
1837  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
1838    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
1839    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
1840
1841  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
1842    should now work.
1843
1844* cavern:
1845
1846  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
1847
1848  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
1849    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
1850    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
1851
1852  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
1853    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
1854    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
1855
1856  + Fix check for end of version number array in *require.  We would check up
1857    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
1858    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
1859    issue.
1860
1861  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
1862    by patch from Colin Watson.
1863
1864  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
1865
1866* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1867
1868* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
1869  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
1870
1871* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
1872  used in the same dataset.
1873
1874* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
1875  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
1876
1877* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
1878  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
1879  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
1880
1881* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
1882
1883Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
1884
1885* aven:
1886
1887  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
1888    cavern again.
1889
1890* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
1891  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
1892  location and use the same start menu folder.
1893
1894* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
1895  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
1896
1897* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
1898  by James Begley.
1899
1900Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
1901
1902* aven:
1903
1904  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
1905    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
1906    to address.
1907
1908  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
1909    over the survey tree.
1910
1911  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
1912
1913  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
1914    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
1915
1916  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
1917    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
1918    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
1919    encoded.
1920
1921  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
1922    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
1923    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
1924    terminals which do still support this.
1925
1926  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
1927    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
1928
1929* cavern:
1930
1931  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
1932    Edwards (see #78).
1933
1934  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
1935    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
1936    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
1937    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
1938
1939  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
1940    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
1941    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
1942
1943  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
1944    from Pete Smart (see #69).
1945
1946* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
1947  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
1948  Black.
1949
1950* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
1951
1952* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
1953  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
1954  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
1955  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
1956  Black.
1957
1958* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
1959  Black.
1960
1961* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
1962
1963* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
1964
1965* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
1966
1967* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
1968
1969* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
1970
1971* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
1972  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
1973
1974* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
1975  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
1976  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
1977
1978* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
1979  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
1980  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
1981  privileges or not.
1982
1983Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
1984
1985* aven:
1986
1987  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
1988    Clipstone.
1989
1990  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
1991    Reported by Jenny Black.
1992
1993  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
1994    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
1995    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
1996
1997  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
1998    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
1999    messages.
2000
2001  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
2002    the terminal in 1.2.23.
2003
2004* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
2005  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
2006
2007* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
2008
2009* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
2010  by Wookey.
2011
2012Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
2013
2014* aven:
2015
2016  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
2017    machines.
2018
2019  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
2020
2021  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
2022    already being processed.
2023
2024  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
2025    Reported by Martin Green.
2026
2027  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
2028
2029* cavern:
2030
2031  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
2032    find the original survey notes).
2033
2034  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
2035    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
2036    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
2037    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
2038    progress display to be useful.
2039
2040* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
2041
2042* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
2043  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
2044
2045* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
2046  running cavern.
2047
2048* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
2049  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
2050  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
2051
2052Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
2053
2054* aven:
2055
2056  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
2057    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
2058    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
2059    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
2060    finding this fix.
2061
2062* cavern:
2063
2064  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
2065
2066  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
2067    station.
2068
2069  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
2070    *export.
2071
2072Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
2073
2074* aven:
2075
2076  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
2077    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
2078    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
2079
2080  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
2081
2082  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
2083    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
2084    does.
2085
2086  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
2087    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
2088
2089  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
2090    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
2091
2092  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
2093    as appropriate.
2094
2095  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
2096    values on Windows.
2097
2098* cavern:
2099
2100  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
2101    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
2102    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
2103
2104  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
2105    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
2106
2107  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
2108    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
2109    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
2110    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
2111
2112  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
2113    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
2114    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
2115    Atkinson.
2116
2117  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
2118    actual error rather than on a separate line.
2119
2120  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
2121    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
2122    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
2123    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
2124
2125  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
2126    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
2127    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
2128
2129* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
2130  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
2131  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
2132  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
2133
2134* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
2135
2136* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
2137  "*DECLINATION" command.
2138
2139* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
2140  Reported by Jenny Black.
2141
2142* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
2143  documentation.
2144
2145* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
2146  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
2147
2148* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
2149
2150* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
2151
2152Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
2153
2154* aven:
2155
2156  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
2157    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
2158    the same or very similar by default.
2159
2160  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
2161    Maynard.
2162
2163  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
2164
2165  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
2166
2167  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
2168    away.
2169
2170  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
2171
2172  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
2173    display it.
2174
2175* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
2176  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
2177  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
2178  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
2179
2180* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
2181
2182* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
2183  before 1.2.19.
2184
2185* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
2186  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
2187
2188* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
2189
2190* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
2191  disk image.
2192
2193* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
2194
2195* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
2196  libav features we don't use.
2197
2198* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
2199  a load of libav features we don't use.
2200
2201* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
2202  message in the installer.
2203
2204Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
2205
2206* aven:
2207
2208  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
2209    the exported file in 1.2.18.
2210
2211  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
2212
2213  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
2214    exit full screen mode.
2215
2216  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
2217    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
2218    using since 1.2.7).
2219
2220  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
2221    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
2222    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
2223    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
2224    St. Lawrence.
2225
2226  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
2227    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
2228
2229  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
2230    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
2231    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
2232
2233  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
2234    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
2235    case like we do on other platforms.
2236
2237  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
2238
2239  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
2240    support multi-monitor setups.
2241
2242  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
2243    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
2244
2245  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
2246    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
2247
2248  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
2249    cases.
2250
2251  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
2252    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
2253    Erin Lynch)
2254
2255  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
2256    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
2257    items in in so it uses the full width.
2258
2259  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
2260    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
2261    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
2262    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
2263    window.
2264
2265  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
2266    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
2267    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
2268    only relevant on the first ever run.
2269
2270* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
2271
2272* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
2273  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
2274  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
2275  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
2276  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
2277  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
2278
2279* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
2280  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
2281
2282Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
2283
2284* aven:
2285
2286  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
2287    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
2288    rendering it as a transparent surface.
2289
2290  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
2291    sanely want to perform from the menu.
2292
2293  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
2294    colouring options.
2295
2296  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
2297
2298  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
2299    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
2300    pressing "Escape".
2301
2302  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
2303    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
2304
2305  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
2306    exporting.
2307
2308  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
2309
2310  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
2311    is quite likely to change.
2312
2313  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
2314    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
2315
2316  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
2317    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
2318    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
2319
2320  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
2321
2322  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
2323    markers in orange.
2324
2325  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
2326    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
2327
2328  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
2329    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
2330    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
2331    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
2332    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
2333    them would be better.
2334
2335  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
2336    Gee.
2337
2338  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
2339    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
2340    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
2341
2342  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
2343
2344* cavern:
2345
2346  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
2347    susscorfa).
2348
2349  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
2350    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
2351
2352  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
2353
2354  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
2355    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
2356
2357  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
2358    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
2359
2360* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
2361
2362* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
2363  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
2364  in a modern desktop.
2365
2366* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
2367  the filename in the error message.
2368
2369* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
2370  most complete translations.
2371
2372* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
2373
2374* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
2375  lacks them.
2376
2377* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
2378
2379* Manual:
2380
2381  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
2382    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
2383
2384  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
2385
2386  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
2387
2388  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
2389    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
2390    available for download.
2391
2392* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
2393  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
2394  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
2395
2396* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2397
2398* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
2399
2400Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
2401
2402* MacOS X version:
2403
2404  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
2405
2406  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
2407
2408  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
2409
2410  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
2411
2412  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
2413    currently do this for us.
2414
2415  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
2416
2417  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
2418
2419  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
2420
2421  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
2422    OS X cursor.
2423
2424  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
2425    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
2426    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
2427    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
2428    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
2429    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
2430    with TextEdit.app for example).
2431
2432  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
2433    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
2434
2435  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
2436
2437  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
2438    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
2439
2440  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
2441    Riggs.
2442
2443  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
2444    space.
2445
2446  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
2447
2448  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
2449    10.10.1.
2450
2451  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
2452    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
2453    errors.
2454
2455  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
2456    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
2457    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
2458    wxWidgets build supports by default.
2459
2460  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
2461
2462* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
2463  treat as a single leg.
2464
2465* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
2466
2467* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
2468
2469* aven:
2470
2471  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
2472    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
2473
2474  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
2475    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
2476    1:500).
2477
2478  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
2479    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
2480    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
2481    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
2482
2483  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
2484    there rather than the two animations fighting.
2485
2486  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
2487    fast.
2488
2489  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
2490    when rotating).
2491
2492  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
2493    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
2494
2495* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
2496  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
2497
2498* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
2499
2500* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
2501
2502* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
2503
2504* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
2505
2506* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
2507  we're using git.
2508
2509* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
2510
2511  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
2512    compass.
2513
2514  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
2515
2516  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
2517
2518Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
2519
2520* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
2521
2522* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
2523
2524* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
2525
2526* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
2527  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
2528
2529* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
2530
2531* tests/: Improve test coverage.
2532
2533* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
2534  Greek and Polish.
2535
2536* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
2537  by Martin Sluka.
2538
2539* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
2540  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
2541
2542Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
2543
2544* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
2545  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
2546  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
2547  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
2548  for *cs has also been improved.
2549
2550* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
2551  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
2552  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
2553  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
2554
2555* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
2556  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
2557  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
2558  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
2559  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
2560
2561* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
2562  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
2563  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
2564
2565* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
2566
2567* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
2568
2569* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
2570  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
2571  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
2572
2573* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
2574  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
2575
2576Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
2577
2578* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
2579  system in use in 3d v8 files.
2580
2581* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
2582  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
2583  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
2584  export dialog.
2585
2586* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
2587  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
2588  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
2589  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
2590  rather than having one corner there.
2591
2592* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
2593  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
2594
2595* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
2596  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
2597
2598* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
2599  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
2600  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
2601
2602* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
2603  such as 64-bit Linux.
2604
2605* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
2606  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
2607
2608* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
2609  64-bit platforms.
2610
2611* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
2612  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
2613  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
2614
2615* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
2616  the space available in the aven UI.
2617
2618* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
2619  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
2620  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
2621
2622* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
2623  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
2624
2625* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
2626  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
2627  about unconnected surveys.
2628
2629* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
2630  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
2631
2632* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
2633  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
2634  freed memory.
2635
2636* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
2637
2638* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
2639
2640* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
2641
2642* Fix a compiler warning.
2643
2644* Improve test coverage.
2645
2646Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
2647
2648* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
2649  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
2650  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
2651
2652* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
2653  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
2654  Hugh St Lawrence.
2655
2656* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
2657  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
2658  with using aven on a touch screen device.
2659
2660* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
2661  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
2662
2663* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
2664  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
2665
2666* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
2667  off and back on.
2668
2669* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
2670  up time a little.
2671
2672* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
2673  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
2674
2675* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
2676  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
2677  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
2678  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
2679  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
2680  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
2681  situation too.
2682
2683* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
2684  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
2685  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
2686
2687* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
2688
2689* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
2690
2691* Minor translation updates to French.
2692
2693* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
2694
2695* Testsuite improvements:
2696
2697  + Test that "..." anon station works.
2698
2699  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
2700    fail and give an error count.
2701
2702  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
2703
2704Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
2705
2706* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
2707  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
2708  Clipstone.
2709
2710* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
2711
2712* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
2713
2714  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
2715    overlap the scale bar ticks.
2716
2717  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
2718    clipping the border in print preview.
2719
2720  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
2721
2722* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
2723  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
2724
2725* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
2726  available.
2727
2728* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
2729
2730* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
2731
2732* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
2733  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
2734
2735* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
2736  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
2737
2738* Various translation updates.
2739
2740Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
2741
2742* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
2743  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
2744
2745* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
2746  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
2747  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
2748  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
2749
2750* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
2751  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
2752
2753* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
2754  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
2755
2756* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
2757  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
2758
2759* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
2760  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2761
2762* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
2763  box".
2764
2765* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
2766
2767* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
2768  indicators.
2769
2770* aven: All length units are now translatable.
2771
2772* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
2773  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
2774  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
2775
2776* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
2777  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
2778  measurably slower.
2779
2780* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
2781  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
2782
2783* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
2784  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
2785
2786* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
2787  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
2788  from Therion and elsewhere.
2789
2790* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
2791  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
2792  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
2793
2794* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
2795  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
2796
2797* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
2798  A. Riggs for his work on this.
2799
2800* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
2801  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
2802
2803* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
2804
2805* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
2806  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
2807  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
2808  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
2809  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
2810  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2811
2812* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
2813
2814Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
2815
2816* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
2817  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
2818  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
2819  Clipstone.
2820
2821* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
2822  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
2823
2824* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
2825  exported SVG files.
2826
2827* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
2828
2829* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
2830  file.
2831
2832* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
2833  GPX files.
2834
2835* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
2836
2837* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
2838  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
2839
2840* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
2841  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
2842  on startup.
2843
2844* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
2845
2846* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
2847  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
2848  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
2849  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
2850  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
2851  other extensions.
2852
2853* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
2854  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
2855  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
2856  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
2857  timezone wrong.
2858
2859* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
2860
2861* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
2862  'SURVEY DATE:'.
2863
2864* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
2865
2866* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
2867
2868* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
2869  enabled.
2870
2871Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
2872
2873* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
2874
2875* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
2876
2877* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
2878
2879* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
2880  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
2881  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
2882
2883* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
2884  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
2885  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
2886
2887* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
2888  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
2889
2890* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
2891
2892* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
2893
2894* Fix some compiler warnings.
2895
2896Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
2897
2898* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
2899  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
2900  Holder.
2901
2902* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
2903  statistics when the value gets large.
2904
2905* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
2906  equations.
2907
2908* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
2909  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
2910  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
2911  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
2912  better when the "View" box is hidden.
2913
2914* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
2915  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
2916
2917* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
2918  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
2919  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
2920  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
2921  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
2922  way is coming soon.
2923
2924* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
2925  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
2926
2927* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
2928  time ago, so update references.
2929
2930* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
2931  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2932
2933* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
2934  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
2935
2936* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
2937  Sebastian Ramacher.
2938
2939* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
2940
2941* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
2942
2943* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
2944
2945* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
2946
2947* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
2948
2949* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
2950  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
2951  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
2952
2953* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
2954
2955* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
2956
2957* img library:
2958
2959  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
2960    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
2961    reading).
2962
2963  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
2964    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
2965
2966  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
2967    support these as an extension.
2968
2969  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
2970
2971* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
2972  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
2973  itself has any translations for.
2974
2975* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
2976
2977* Minor translation updates.
2978
2979* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
2980
2981Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
2982
2983* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
2984  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
2985  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
2986  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
2987  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
2988  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
2989  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
2990  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
2991
2992* New version 8 of the 3d format:
2993
2994  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
2995
2996  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
2997    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
2998
2999  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
3000    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
3001
3002  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
3003
3004  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
3005    human-readable string.
3006
3007  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
3008    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
3009
3010* img library:
3011
3012  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
3013
3014  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
3015    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
3016
3017  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
3018    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
3019    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
3020    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
3021    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
3022    explicitly in the file.
3023
3024  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
3025
3026* aven:
3027
3028  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
3029    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
3030    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
3031    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
3032    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
3033    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
3034
3035  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
3036    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
3037    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
3038    queued up.
3039
3040  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
3041    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
3042
3043  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
3044    them like other legs.
3045
3046  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
3047    station names to positions.
3048
3049  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
3050    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
3051    wrongly.
3052
3053  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
3054
3055  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
3056    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
3057    that's used by the desktop).
3058
3059  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
3060
3061  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
3062    error from cavern.
3063
3064  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
3065
3066  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
3067    in the dialog in sync.
3068
3069* cavern:
3070
3071  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
3072    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
3073    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
3074
3075  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
3076    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
3077
3078  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
3079    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
3080    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
3081    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
3082    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
3083    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
3084    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
3085    degrees.
3086
3087  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
3088    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
3089    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
3090
3091  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
3092
3093  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
3094    warnings.
3095
3096  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
3097    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
3098
3099  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
3100    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
3101
3102  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
3103    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
3104    relevant.
3105
3106  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
3107    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
3108    the same line.
3109
3110  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
3111    "End of line not blank" error.
3112
3113  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
3114    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
3115
3116  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
3117    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
3118
3119  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
3120    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
3121    include that character in the token reported.
3122
3123  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
3124    first item.
3125
3126* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
3127
3128* dump3d:
3129
3130  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
3131    info from 3d files in scripts.
3132
3133  + Add --show-dates option.
3134
3135  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
3136
3137  + Report the data style of legs.
3138
3139  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
3140
3141  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
3142
3143* Test suite:
3144
3145  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
3146    expected output so it passes reliably.
3147
3148  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
3149    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
3150
3151  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
3152    for more.
3153
3154* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
3155  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
3156  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
3157
3158* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
3159  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
3160
3161* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
3162  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
3163
3164* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
3165  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
3166  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
3167  settings.
3168
3169* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
3170  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
3171  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
3172  set correctly.
3173
3174* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
3175  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
3176  them to translate.
3177
3178* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
3179  close to complete.
3180
3181* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
3182
3183* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
3184
3185* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
3186
3187Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
3188
3189* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
3190
3191* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
3192  package (ticket#35).
3193
3194* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
3195  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
3196  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
3197
3198* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
3199  Kahler.
3200
3201* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
3202  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
3203  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
3204  libproj and build survex with:
3205
3206      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3207      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3208
3209* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
3210
3211* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
3212
3213* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
3214  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
3215  file".
3216
3217Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
3218
3219* aven:
3220
3221  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
3222
3223  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
3224    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
3225
3226  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
3227
3228  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
3229
3230  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
3231    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
3232
3233* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
3234  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
3235  error early on).
3236
3237* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
3238  the man page source as well as in the filename.
3239
3240Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
3241
3242* aven:
3243
3244  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
3245    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
3246    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
3247    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
3248
3249  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
3250    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
3251
3252  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
3253
3254  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
3255
3256  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
3257
3258* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
3259
3260Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
3261
3262* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
3263
3264* (Mac OS X version):
3265
3266  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
3267
3268  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
3269
3270  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
3271    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
3272
3273  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
3274
3275* aven:
3276
3277  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
3278
3279  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
3280
3281    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
3282      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
3283      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
3284      character.
3285
3286    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
3287      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
3288      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
3289      and two in a few cases.
3290
3291    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
3292      8 pixels.
3293
3294  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
3295    draw crosses.
3296
3297  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
3298    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
3299    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
3300    is the start or end of a tube.
3301
3302  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
3303    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
3304
3305  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
3306    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
3307    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
3308
3309* extend:
3310
3311  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
3312
3313  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
3314    which means "no info").
3315
3316* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
3317  was no longer used - it certainly is!
3318
3319* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
3320  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
3321  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
3322  current character set.
3323
3324* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
3325
3326* Test suite:
3327
3328  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
3329
3330  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
3331
3332Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
3333
3334* aven:
3335
3336  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
3337    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
3338    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
3339    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
3340    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
3341    usable format.
3342
3343  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
3344    files.  (ticket#26)
3345
3346  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
3347    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
3348
3349  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
3350    using lines.
3351
3352  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
3353    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
3354
3355  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
3356    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
3357    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
3358    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
3359
3360  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
3361    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
3362    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
3363
3364  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
3365    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
3366    in 1.2.1.
3367
3368Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
3369
3370* Translation updates for US English.
3371
3372* aven:
3373
3374  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
3375    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
3376
3377  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
3378
3379  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
3380    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
3381    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
3382    visually similar to the survey legs.
3383
3384  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
3385    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
3386
3387  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
3388    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
3389    does still provide some useful information).
3390
3391  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
3392    a depth band boundary.
3393
3394  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
3395    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
3396    full-screen mode).
3397
3398  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
3399    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
3400    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
3401    are a little better, though still not perfect.
3402
3403  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
3404    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
3405
3406  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
3407    that station.
3408
3409  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
3410    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
3411
3412  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
3413    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
3414    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
3415    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
3416    a case as it is a bug).
3417
3418  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
3419    invalidated on window width or height changes.
3420
3421  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
3422    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
3423    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
3424    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
3425
3426  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
3427    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
3428    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
3429    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
3430    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
3431    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
3432    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
3433
3434  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
3435    similarly for other compass points.
3436
3437  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
3438    info in the "About" dialog.
3439
3440  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
3441    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
3442
3443  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
3444    as well as still working with older versions.
3445
3446  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
3447    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
3448
3449  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
3450    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
3451    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
3452    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
3453    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
3454
3455  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
3456    nicer and make better use of the available space.
3457
3458  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
3459    dialog.
3460
3461  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
3462    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
3463
3464  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
3465    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
3466
3467  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
3468
3469  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
3470
3471  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
3472    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
3473    being pressed and toggle full screen.
3474
3475* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
3476  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
3477
3478* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
3479
3480* More messages are now available to be translated.
3481
3482* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
3483  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
3484
3485* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
3486
3487* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
3488  sudo for installing on Unix.
3489
3490* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
3491  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
3492
3493* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
3494  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
3495
3496* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
3497
3498Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
3499
3500* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
3501  English.
3502
3503* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
3504  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
3505  case.
3506
3507* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
3508  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
3509  these into Survex's .msg format.
3510
3511* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
3512  an actual command).
3513
3514* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
3515  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
3516  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
3517  recurrence of that).
3518
3519* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
3520  than /usr/doc/survex.
3521
3522* aven:
3523
3524  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
3525
3526  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
3527    nicer at larger sizes.
3528
3529  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
3530    with GLX >= 1.3.
3531
3532  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
3533
3534  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
3535    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
3536    required libraries set up for building releases.
3537
3538  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
3539
3540  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
3541
3542  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
3543    rendered with icons on some platforms.
3544
3545  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
3546    ISO8859-1).
3547
3548  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
3549    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
3550
3551  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
3552    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
3553
3554* cavern:
3555
3556  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
3557    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
3558    fatal error!
3559
3560  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
3561    format to output.  (ticket#21)
3562
3563* img library:
3564
3565  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
3566    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
3567
3568* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
3569  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
3570
3571Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
3572
3573* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
3574  Portuguese, and US English.
3575
3576* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
3577  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
3578
3579* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
3580  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
3581
3582* img.c:
3583
3584  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
3585
3586  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
3587
3588* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
3589
3590* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
3591  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
3592  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
3593  translated.
3594
3595Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
3596
3597* aven:
3598
3599  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
3600    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
3601
3602  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
3603    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
3604    addresses ticket#12.
3605
3606  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
3607    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
3608    consistent shape.
3609
3610  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
3611    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
3612    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
3613    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
3614
3615  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
3616    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
3617
3618  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
3619
3620  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
3621    more places.
3622
3623  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
3624    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
3625
3626* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
3627
3628* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
3629  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
3630
3631* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
3632
3633* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
3634  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
3635  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
3636  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
3637  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
3638  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
3639
3640* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
3641  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
3642  redirecting to it.
3643
3644* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
3645  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
3646  I/O).
3647
3648* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
3649  headers.
3650
3651* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
3652
3653* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
3654  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
3655
3656* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
3657
3658Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
3659
3660* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
3661
3662* aven:
3663
3664  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
3665    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
3666    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
3667    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
3668
3669  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
3670
3671  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
3672    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
3673    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
3674    a number.
3675
3676  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
3677    log window.
3678
3679  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
3680    various cases.
3681
3682  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
3683    (ticket#9)
3684
3685  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
3686    namespace with its own "Point" class.
3687
3688  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
3689    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
3690
3691  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
3692
3693  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
3694    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
3695
3696* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
3697  give them before.
3698
3699* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
3700  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
3701  point looking for them now.
3702
3703* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
3704  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
3705  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
3706  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
3707
3708* manual:
3709
3710  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
3711
3712  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
3713    (change taken from 1.0).
3714
3715* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
3716
3717Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
3718
3719* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
3720
3721* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
3722
3723* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
3724
3725* aven:
3726
3727  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
3728
3729  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
3730    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
3731    seem to be Unicode now).
3732
3733  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
3734    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
3735
3736  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
3737    text on the survey pane:
3738
3739    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
3740
3741    - Character spacing is improved.
3742
3743    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
3744
3745  + "About" dialog:
3746
3747    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
3748      bug reporting.
3749
3750    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
3751      modern gfx card.
3752
3753    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
3754
3755  + Processing .svx files:
3756
3757    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
3758
3759    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
3760      than opening a separate frame for it.
3761
3762    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
3763
3764    - Fix small memory leak.
3765
3766  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
3767    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
3768    such a name.
3769
3770  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
3771
3772  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
3773    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
3774    invocations.
3775
3776  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
3777
3778  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
3779
3780  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
3781
3782* Documentation:
3783
3784  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
3785
3786  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
3787    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
3788    together isn't very useful.
3789
3790  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
3791
3792  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
3793    the FSF website.
3794
3795  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
3796    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
3797    the source code.
3798
3799* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
3800  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
3801
3802* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
3803  package from the source tarball.
3804
3805* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
3806  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
3807
3808Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
3809
3810* aven:
3811
3812  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
3813
3814  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
3815
3816  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
3817    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
3818    names/crosses).
3819
3820Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
3821
3822* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
3823
3824* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
3825
3826* aven:
3827
3828  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
3829
3830  + Fix character spacing.
3831
3832  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
3833    proportional fonts.
3834
3835  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
3836    rather than the filename.
3837
3838  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
3839
3840  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
3841    depth colouring.
3842
3843  + Add "Colour by Error".
3844
3845  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
3846
3847  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
3848
3849  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
3850
3851  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
3852
3853  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
3854
3855  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
3856
3857  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
3858
3859  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
3860    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
3861
3862  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
3863
3864  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
3865    default.
3866
3867* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
3868  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
3869
3870* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
3871  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
3872
3873* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
3874
3875* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
3876
3877Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
3878
3879* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
3880  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
3881  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
3882  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
3883  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
3884
3885* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
3886  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
3887  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
3888
3889* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
3890  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
3891  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
3892
3893* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
3894  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
3895  allowed).
3896
3897* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
3898
3899* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3900
3901* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3902
3903Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
3904
3905* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
3906  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
3907
3908* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
3909  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
3910  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
3911
3912* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
3913  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
3914  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
3915  the new "*data passage" style.
3916
3917* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
3918  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
3919
3920* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
3921  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
3922  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
3923  some cases.
3924
3925* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
3926  with no survey loaded.
3927
3928* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
3929
3930* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
3931  loaded a survey.
3932
3933* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
3934
3935* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
3936
3937* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
3938  doesn't exist.
3939
3940* Updated French and Italian translations.
3941
3942* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
3943  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
3944
3945* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
3946  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
3947  update their copy).
3948
3949* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
3950  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
3951  trying to compile).
3952
3953Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
3954
3955* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
3956  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
3957
3958* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
3959  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
3960  has been disabled.
3961
3962* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
3963  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
3964  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
3965  time.
3966
3967* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
3968  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
3969  highlighted stations.
3970
3971* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
3972
3973* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
3974  the tilt from plan to elevation.
3975
3976* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
3977  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
3978
3979* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
3980  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
3981  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
3982
3983* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
3984  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
3985
3986* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
3987
3988* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
3989
3990* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
3991
3992* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
3993  run by an unprivileged user.
3994
3995* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
3996  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
3997  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
3998
3999* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
4000  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
4001
4002* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
4003
4004* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
4005  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
4006
4007* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
4008  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
4009
4010* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
4011  if it isn't.
4012
4013* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
4014  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
4015
4016* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
4017  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
4018
4019* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
4020  reset to default view as well).
4021
4022* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
4023  empty.
4024
4025* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
4026  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
4027
4028* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
4029  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
4030  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
4031
4032* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
4033  and non-zero width lines.
4034
4035* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
4036  was turned on.
4037
4038* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
4039  not always being fully written.
4040
4041Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
4042
4043* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
4044  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
4045  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
4046  date near the middle of that period).
4047
4048* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
4049  with MS Windows).
4050
4051* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
4052  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
4053  several surveys in the same directory).
4054
4055* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
4056  our check for them to include that knowledge.
4057
4058* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
4059
4060* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
4061  moved off a station.
4062
4063* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
4064  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
4065
4066* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
4067
4068* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
4069  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
4070
4071* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
4072  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
4073  dialogs.
4074
4075* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
4076  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
4077
4078* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
4079  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
4080  introduced in 1.1.6).
4081
4082* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
4083  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
4084  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
4085
4086* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
4087  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
4088
4089* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
4090
4091* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
4092
4093Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
4094
4095* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
4096  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
4097
4098* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
4099  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
4100  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
4101  3d file.
4102
4103* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
4104
4105* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
4106
4107* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
4108  Instead turn off depth colouring.
4109
4110* aven: Export as HPGL added.
4111
4112* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
4113  Martin Green).
4114
4115* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
4116  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
4117  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
4118
4119* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
4120
4121* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
4122  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
4123
4124* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
4125  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
4126  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
4127  of everything else.
4128
4129* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
4130  presentation icons.
4131
4132* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
4133  keyboard focus there.
4134
4135* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
4136
4137* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
4138
4139* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
4140
4141* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
4142
4143* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
4144  language to use for messages.
4145
4146* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
4147  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
4148
4149* Removed old printer drivers.
4150
4151* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
4152  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
4153
4154Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
4155
4156* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
4157
4158* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
4159
4160* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
4161  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
4162
4163* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
4164  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
4165
4166* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
4167
4168* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
4169  underground legs is toggled.
4170
4171* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
4172  attached to the previous data.
4173
4174* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
4175  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
4176  them.
4177
4178Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
4179
4180* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
4181
4182* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
4183  continental European countries).
4184
4185* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
4186  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
4187  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
4188
4189* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
4190
4191* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
4192  they're needed.
4193
4194* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
4195
4196* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
4197
4198* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
4199
4200* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
4201  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
4202  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
4203
4204* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
4205
4206Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
4207
4208* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
4209
4210* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
4211
4212* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
4213
4214* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
4215
4216* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
4217
4218* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
4219
4220* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
4221  when there's a presentation loaded.
4222
4223* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
4224  in cave view.
4225
4226* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
4227
4228* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
4229  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
4230  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
4231
4232* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
4233  filename for file history and window title.
4234
4235* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
4236  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
4237  only needed with GTK1.2.
4238
4239* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
4240
4241* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
4242
4243* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
4244
4245* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
4246
4247Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
4248
4249* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
4250  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
4251  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
4252
4253* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
4254  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
4255
4256* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
4257  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
4258  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
4259  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
4260
4261* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
4262
4263* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
4264  with --help and --version.
4265
4266* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
4267  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
4268  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
4269  Fixed all these problems.
4270
4271* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
4272  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
4273  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
4274
4275* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
4276  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
4277  sources.
4278
4279* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
4280
4281* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
4282
4283* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
4284  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
4285
4286* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
4287  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
4288  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
4289  animating.
4290
4291* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
4292
4293* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
4294
4295* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
4296  to this branch.
4297
4298* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
4299
4300  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
4301
4302  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
4303
4304  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
4305
4306* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
4307
4308* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
4309  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
4310
4311* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
4312
4313* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
4314  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
4315
4316* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
4317
4318* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
4319  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
4320  for anyone building from CVS).
4321
4322* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
4323
4324* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
4325
4326* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
4327
4328* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
4329
4330* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
4331  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
4332  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
4333
4334* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
4335  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
4336
4337* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
4338
4339* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
4340  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
4341  loaded).
4342
4343* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
4344
4345Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
4346
4347* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
4348  startup.
4349
4350* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
4351  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
4352
4353Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
4354
4355* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
4356  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
4357  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
4358
4359* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
4360  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
4361  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
4362
4363* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
4364  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
4365  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
4366
4367* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
4368
4369* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
4370  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
4371
4372* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
4373  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
